On My Own: Summer Vacation a Diggy Simmons Love Story

Chapter 12: Presents for the present

Elana P.O.V

“Good job!” My stylist said as she gave me this: http://www.polyvore.com/kick_back/set?id=55395135 to put on, She left my dressing room and I changed. I felt accomplished to have done something like this. When I finished I re-opened my door. People were everywhere back stage. I sat in my make-up chair and started eating on some chocolate covered strawberries. I wasn’t going anywhere in that chaos. The stage director came in.

“They want you on stage again.” He stood by the door.

“What? I just changed.” I said confused.

“It’s okay all the performers are like that.” I got up and followed him onstage where the crowd was still seated.

“And I’m proud of this one. She was the last to find out about this show and the fact that she killed it with one rehearsal is just phenomenal. I been working with her since a friend of mine who goes by the name Diggy went on tour. We went in the studio the same day he left and let me tell you every song she sung; she sung it with her heart. I am happy to have worked with her.” Black smiled and I looked down.

The crowd clapped and cheered.

“So I like to thank you for coming out tonight and have a safe night.” We all exited off stage and Khalil followed me to my dressing room.

“So what was that you had to say?” I asked while biting into a strawberry.

“Yeah I needed to talk-“Khalil got cut off by Iris and Tristen walking in.

He looked irritated by the constant interruptions. I was starting to get annoyed too because I wanted to know what he had to say.

“You killed it out there guys.” Tristen complimented and pulled me into a hug, I hugged back.

“I know you guys were getting it.” Iris smiled and hugged me before giving Khalil a kiss on the cheek.

“Thank you.” Khalil and I said in unison as Diggy and Twist walked in.

Twist approached me first and gave me a hug. He ruffled up my hair.

“Elana out there calling herself trying to shut down the show. Well you did just that!” He put me into a head lock. I pulled out from it and pushed him towards Tristen. Diggy came up to me and rubbed his head.

“What you did out there was amazing.” He smiled and picked me up.

“I’m so proud to be your boyfriend right now.” He said as he swung me around. He put me down and kissed me. I felt as if someone was watching so I pulled away and wandered towards the behind Diggy’s head and realized Khalil was watching for brief second. I raised my eyebrows as Diggy held my waist.

“Grab your stuff we’re going to celebrate with the family.” He said in a small whisper.

I nodded and grabbed for my purse and my rehearsal clothes. We all walked out towards the cars. I said goodbye to everyone and got in Diggy’s car. I still don’t know how I feel about Khalil but I know whatever he has to talk about isn’t that big of a deal. Diggy got in and played with my hair.

“I’m really proud of you beautiful.” Diggy started the car.

“Thank you.” I kissed his cheek as he pulled out of the parking lot.

I drove quietly down the street as Iris rambled on the phone with her cousin Keisha about tonight’s performance. My mind was else where. I really needed to talk to Elana. It was really important but I’m kind of glad Tristen and Iris interrupted because I realized it wasn’t the right time but I’m going to tell her what I need to tell her way before summer is over.
