Believe it or not, but I actually managed to write the song in time for today's concert. I may not had it done in one week as Annie wanted, but at least it's done.
Lets just say that it's not the best song I have ever written, but it works.
I'm proud of the music though, I think that I managed to put the guitar and the electric part together good.

This is also my first day working with Seth, I'm excited to see how he will work under pressure. I have high hopes though. But his work on the Teen Choice Awards in one week is even more important, especially since I'm going on stage to present the award with Grayson. We don't know that many details of how the whole thing is gonna work yet, but we'll meet the stage directors this week.

I actually have to leave now in order to be there on time.
"Bye gray, I have to leave now. See ya after the show" I give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Do you need a ride?" He'll come later, he isn't allowed to follow me backstage this time. He'll sit in the audience with Amber so he doesn't have to leave this early.

"No I'll just take a cab, but I'll need your help to get home though" I say and he nods.

"Alright, bye love you" by the time he says this I'm already by the door.

"I love you too" I yell as I close the door.

I call a cab as I stand on the roadside and it stops by me. I hop in and tell the driver where to take me.
I go on my phone and check through twitter. There is a lot that wish us luck today on the concert and I'm grateful for that.

I got to admit, I'm a bit nervous. But who wouldn't be, I'm going to perform with some of the biggest singers in the world. And among them I stand, a young girl with dreams to become as big as them one day. Man, this should be exciting.

As soon as I step out of the car I see the enormous stadium, probably the biggest I have ever performed in. I gulp and then I force my legs to walk to the entrance.

When I'm inside I'm instantly greeted by Annie.

"We don't have much time, come on" wow, not even a hello.

"Hello to you too" I say and she just rolls her eyes but I laugh. Then she takes my hand and drags me to my dressing room.

Before Annie leaves she goes over everything one more time, as if I haven't heard it twenty times already. I'm the third singer that's going on stage, sing my song, go out, change clothes, go out on stage again, sing 'we are the world' everyone together, thank the audience, walk out. It's really not that hard.

She leaves me alone and I just sit and wait. I can't really do anything without my stylist or makeup artist so I just sit and eat the candy I asked to get in my room.

As I shove my hand filled with candy to my mouth for the hundredth time the door slams open.
This cause me to jump in my seat out of the laud noise, the jump cause me to drop all the skittles that were in my hand on the floor.

"Damn it Sam! You scared the living shit out of me" I exclaim as I walk up to her and give her a hug.

"Sorry about that, but the candy isn't good for you anyway" she laughs and I gasp.

"Nice friend you are Sam" I say and we both end up laughing together.

"Lets get you dressed girl" she interrupts our little laughing session.

"You're all done, Seth should be here any..." she begins but gets interrupted by the door opening.
