Performance day. I don't know how the hell I managed to finish a whole other song in two days. I ended up writing a song about Mam and Mum - it just felt right. With Mam and Mum, I could explain my love for them for days but I'm not like that with anything or anyone else. Mam and Mum understand me and my love is so clear for them.
"Millie! Come say hi to Nicola!" Mam called me downstairs, getting me to rush out of my room and down the steps.
"Hello!" Nicola smiled wide as we came into each other's sights. We shared a huge hug as she moved us back and forth.
"I'm so excited to see you perform!" She exclaimed as she clapped her hands together. I smiled, realizing that Nicola's never heard me sing before.
"I'm excited for you to be there," I said as we moved to the front room where Aunt Amy and Sally are sat. They recently moved to London so it's easier for us to see them more. Nana Diane is hoping to move here soon as well, so we can all be together.
"What time are we leaving?" Auntie Sally asked and looked at Mum and Mam for an answer.
"Around six so Camille can be there for her rehearsals beforehand," Mum answered as I walked towards the couch.
"So excited to see our superstar perform!" Aunt Amy pulled me down to sit and laid me across her lap. She tickled my stomach, getting my giggles to erupt. I felt her playfully kiss my cheek a billion times, making my smile widen.
As I calmed down and looked over, I saw Mum smiling at me with what seemed to tears in her eyes. I frowned at her and she just shook her head, giving me a sign to talk about it later. I gave her a large smile and mirror my action.
"Can I go get ready?" I asked Mam and saw her nod at me. She gave me a kiss as I walked by her and let me walk up the stairs to my room. I put on my rehearsal clothes and left my hair down in its wavy mess. I didn't do my makeup either because that will be done before the show so it's fresh.
"Hey," Nicola walked into my room "Okay if I come in?" She asked and I nodded as I closed my journal.
"We should hang out some more, just you and me." She said once she sat next to me.
"Really?" I asked, liking the idea. Nicola seems like an amazing friend to have and I know Mam and Mum love her so much.
"Yeah, we can get to know each other more while Chez and Kimba have a date night or something." She suggested and I excitedly nodded.
"Okay!" I agreed.
"I can't wait to see you perform!" Nicola clapped her hands together and looked me in the eye.
"Kinda nervous." I was honest with Nicola, knowing I can trust her.
"Of course you are, I still get nervous about everything. I've done my job for over a decade, it never goes away." Nicola explained, putting her arm around my side "That may sound discouraging but nerves are always a good thing. They encourage you to do your best." She told me and I nodded, agreeing with her wisdom.
"What's this?" Nicola pointed to the journal in my lap as she peered over my shoulder.
