January 29th, 1996
Beyoncé's PoV

"You okay??" Michael asked as we're in the limo. I sighed and nodded "yeah I'm just nervous" I smile over at him. He chuckled "you've performed sooo many times at award shows, you'll be fine!!"

"Girls are you ready?? Remember to be on your best behaviour!" Michael turned to our children and stroked their cheek. They nodded and agreed to be on their best behaviour.
We pulled up to the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.
The limo door opened and Michael got out first... he bent down and lifted our girls out of the limo.. he held out his hand to me and I grabbed it so he could help me out.
Blue and Kiara grabbed my hand.. then Kiara grabbed Michael's so we could walk in a line.. we walked down the red carpet and everyone went crazy seeing us four together.
Michael did his usual thing, wave, bow and smile....

Disclaimer: I'm going to be adding the girl group Little Mix into today's award ceremony.. I'm not gonna spoil it now and say why but you'll find out soon!!

After walking down the red carpet we enter the auditorium and get seated right at the front where we normally are at all award shows.

The award show gets rolling and they start going through categories of awards.

"Single of the year goes to..." the host says then opens up the paper
On the screen behind him there's a collaged video of all the nominees.
There's me, Little Mix, Madonna, Whitney Houston and George Michael.

"LITTLE MIX SHOUT OUT TO MY EXXXXX"

Everyone stands up cheering for them, including me.
I smile while clapping loudly as they walk by smiling, they're such beautiful young girls... The four of them gather around the stand as they grab the award. They squeal and thank the ground.
I stay stood along with many other people in the crowd and clap for them.

"I can't believe it., I feel so humbled, we feel so humbled to win this award. First off I just wanted to say every single person nominated for this award is amazing! I mean— we love every single one of you!!" The dark skinned girl, Leigh-Anne says getting emotional making me smile and clap.
She looked over to me with tears in her eyes "I just can't seem to accept this award, I'm very grateful and gracious but.. my artist of my life is Beyoncé and this album for me the I am Yonce.. fierce album was just so—" she breathed as she tried not to cry.
I shook my head smiling wholeheartedly as she kept her eye contact with me... Michael was clapping next to me as he rubbed my back to console me
"Was just so monumental and sooo— well thought out and so beautiful, and soul bearing and we all got to see another side to you that you don't always let us see and we appreciate that!!" She spoke as she cried and the other girls wiped their tears as they nodded and clapped.

I stood their continuously shaking my head as a tear slipped down my face. This is so beautiful and humbling.

"And all us artists here we fucking adore you!" She said making me smile and shake my head even more
"Thank you, thank you. I love you" I say to her but she can't hear it. I know she can read my lips though.
"You are our light, and the way you make me and my friends feel.. the way you make my black friends feel is empowering and you make them stand up for themselves!" She pointed her finger to me passionately
"Thank you thank you!" I speak so graciously, I can see a camera pointing at me. They've got all this on record. I'm gonna look a mess!!
"And I love you, I always have and I always will!" She spike so beautifully
"I love you" I shake my head smiling as tears streamed down my face. That was so touching.
She blew me a kiss and I blew it right back

"AMA's I love you.. we love you. Our manager... family, friends we love you and adore you so much!!" The blonde one speaks, that's Perrie If I remember rightly.
"Thank you very much to everybody!" She said smiling and held up the award "thank you!" They all said together as everyone cheered as we watched them walk off.

Everyone rose to their feet, when I didn't need to, I stayed on my feet to respect the young beautiful ladies. Everyone cheered for them and praised them while clapping.

"That was so beautiful!" Michael smiled shaking his head while looking at me "mommy why are you crying??" Blue asked me "those nice ladies on the stage said some really beautiful things about mommy, mommy is just really happy and thankful" Michael said for me making me smile and nod.
I dabbed my face to get rid of the remaining tears.

30 minutes later:

"And the award for best music film goes to BEYONCÉ!!"

Everyone screams in praise as I rise to my feet to collect the award. My baby girls kiss and cuddle me.. Michael kisses me cheek and gives me a quick hug. We don't want people suspecting anything.

When I thank the host I turn to the microphone with tears in my eyes "thank you, thank you" I smile holding onto the award "I Umm— I'd like to thank everyone who was involved with the making of the Everything is love tour and film. It means so much to me how everyone came together to help me make this tour and film the best it could be!!" I speak as everyone cheered not letting me speak properly.
I nodded and smiled "I'd like to thank my wonderful husband who sadly couldn't be here tonight otherwise he'd be up on the stage with me thanking you all just as much.. so in honour of him. Thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts. It's means so much!" I say shaking my head as a tear falls down my cheek.
"I'd like to thank my two beautiful daughters and I'd like to thank Michael... I know he was nominated for this award too.. but in my eyes you deserve this.
The HBO Dangerous show back in 1993 was out of this world and one of my favourite music films ever! 3 years later you was still nominated for it which is so so crazy" I shook my head and breathed while looking at him
He smiled proudly as he bowed towards me blowing me a kiss "thank you so much, you inspire me so much. I wouldn't be stood on this stage if it wasn't help from you" I shook my head thanking him proudly.
He bowed numerous of times as I praised him up on stage.

"Thank you to my family, to my extended beautiful family.. Michael's family, the Jackson's" I smiled "my best friend Janet...all my other friends. I love you!" I bowed and walked off stage to go back stage.
I suddenly feel so sick.
I give Charles, my manager, my award and ran to the toilets.
I puked up in the toilets. Oh fucking great.. I'm coming down with a sickness bug. Charles grabs me as I try and steady myself when I stand up, but I get weak and fall so he grabs me tighter.

Michael's PoV
"Isn't she great!" Janet came over to us as she is here also... but she came with Latoya and my parents.. sat on the other half of the auditorium "yes she is" I smiled and glanced around looking for her:
Why hasn't she come back?? We're on a commercial break right now to give the hosts a rest while everyone can get ready backstage to present more awards.

Charles runs over hysterically "Michael, it's Beyoncé. She's not feeling too good" he exasperates making me feel so worried, I jump up and turn to Janet looking down at the girls' worried face "Janet please look after the girls!" I say and run towards the stage running on it and accessing backstage from that way quickly.. I follow where Charles is heading and where there is a crowd of people accumulating.

"Beyoncé!" I squeeze through the crowd and see she's sat on a chair drinking water.
I sigh and bend down holding onto my knees breathing heavily, I look up at her feeling worried
"Are you okay??" I questioned in which she nodded "I'm fine.." she stated with a weak smile
"Will you be able to perform?" I frown at her and she nodded "nothing will stop me" she shook her head making me smile weakly.
