It is now the day of my performance at Leviticus.

And let me just say......

I FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO PEE ON MYSELF!

I'm just so fricken nervous. Those rehearsing days did not do anything for my nervousness.
I mean my voice and everything are on point but,
i just..... i don't know.

I texted Mikey earlier and invited him to come.

"Are you ready, J?!" my sister asked me excitedly.

I shake my head.
"I'm so nervous Jas.." i say shaking.

"Look. Just, pretend your alone in your room singing and dancing in the mirror. Don't look at the crowd. Just remember that you are a diva and no one can touch you.
I mean except Jamal since you probably want him to." she says whispering the last part.

"Shut up!" i say laughing.

That's the thing about my sister. She always knows how to cheer me up.

"Speaking of, where is Jamal?" Jasmine asks looking around.

"He went to go check up on Hakeem. Hakeem should be playing any minute now."

Just then i hear them introduce Hakeem.

"Give it up for Hakeem Lyon!"

I look out from backstage.
Music starts playing and Hakeem starts rapping.

My mouth is a weapon
I ain't scared of nothing
They say he so reckless
Bunkie's in the casket (Uh)
Betta hit the exit
I eat you for breakfast
Diamonds on my necklace
Guess that's what I'm blessed with
I'm a revolutionary
Pardon my vocabulary
I don't even 'member ever caring
Sue me when I'm in the cemetery
Legendary (Ahh!)

The spotlights then turned from Hakeem to Jamal who was playing the keyboard and singing as well.

Jamal really got on the stage with Hakeem! You go Cookie!

I do what i want and say way i want with no apologies
Excuse me if I'm blunt
I say what i want
With no apologies
And they won't shut me up
Hell naw, hell naw
They won't shut me up
Hell naw, hell naw
I do what i want and say what i want with no apologies!

"Yaaassss Jamal!!!!" i yell while he was singing.

As Hakeem wrapped up the song,
he said, "Your honor you can blame it on Tianna."

I guess he really likes her or at least really want to tap that.

When the song finished, Jamal went off the stage and came backstage to where i was.

"Yaass!! Jamal you killed it!!" i exclaim throwing my hands in the air.

"Thank you! Are you ready for your turn?" he asks me really excited.

Honestly, after seeing Hakeem and Jamal perform, i actually want to do it now.

I'VE BEEN INSPIRED!

"Yeah I'm ready!" i say confident.

"Good cause you are about to go on in about a minute." Jamal says.

"J, I'll be in the crowd alright?" my sister tells me.

"Ok." i say before she gives me a hug.

"Good luck!" she then tells me before walking away.
