"RIHANNA!"
"JADA!"
"JENNIFER, LOOK HERE!" I fake a smile as I stand in between Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez at the Beautiful Hearts foundation gala.
The Beautiful Hearts is a foundation that raises money for people who need heart transplants and for those who suffer from any heart conditions or diseases. All of this was really brought to my attention when Jason almost suffered a heart attack, two years ago. I definitely took that healing time to become learn more about problems with hearts and I am so happy that Jason is as healthy as ever.
I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Jason in my life. He makes up a big part of my life and marrying him was definitely the best choice that I ever made because he is all that I could ever want and need.
I walk to a reporter who quickly makes her introduction to the camera.
"You look beautiful tonight, Jada." Sarah, the reporter says and I smile at her.
"Thank you, you look real nice too." I comment.
"This is your second year at the Beautiful Hearts foundation and this time you have both Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez with you." I nod at her words. "What does this all mean to you?"
"Being here means the world to me. As you all know, my husband almost had a heart attack a few years back and it was definitely a low point in our lives because I almost lost him." I close my eyes for a moment, trying to hold back my tears. "While he was healing, I did all types of research into heart related issues, the different types of conditions and diseases. It just shocks me to see how much people suffer from these issues and the fact that nobody really speaks about it."
"That is true." She agrees and I continue.
"I found out about this organisation, they were quite small but they were effective. I decided to invest large amounts of money so that it could grow. I still don't know everything about the hearts but I am happy that I can use my money to help at least figure out some cures, get rid of the long waiting lists and really just having more healthy hearts available." I give her a sad smile.
"You truly are amazing, Jada." Sarah says while looking at me in awe and I thank her. "We heard that you could be performing tonight. Is this true?"
"I have always refused to perform here because I never want it to be me but for today, I will be performing while we livestream so that we can receive more donations." I confirm.
"How much will you be donating to the foundation?" Sarah curiously asks.
"I will be donating 25 million dollars." I softly say.

I really wish that Jason had walked the carpet with me but he didn't and that sucks. We have been arguing over everything these past few days. I wrote a song just for the gala because I'm hurt by the route that Jason and I are going down even though we are expecting a child.
