Prologue
The camera's lights flashed before my eyes.
There were so many people.
All surrounding me.
Always Smile. Use Your Manners. Don't Let Them See You Cry.
I flashed a smile and waved to the crowd.
A man handed me a mic and I 'joyfully' took it.
"Hello everyone!" I said 'cheerfully' "I hope everyone is having a wonderful day"
Everyone cheered and screamed.
I smiled and waited for silence.
"So today I'm going to sing you guys a couple of songs, before I finish off this wonderful tour." Everyone clapped and cheered.
*After the performance*
Mrs Norah was waiting for me backstage.
"Wonderfully done, you followed the rules perfectly".
There was silence as we walked to the tour.
As soon as we stepped inside Mrs Norah hugged me.
"You can let it out dear" She whispered gently.
I started to cry.
"It's ok" she told me "You have the next 2 months off performance"
I continued to sob onto her chest.
" The pressures to much" I cried "All these fans looking up to me, when I can't even handle myself!"
She rubbed my back softly.
"Not everyone can be perfect" she sighed.
"But I have to be picture perfect" I breathed starting to calm down.
"Sometimes that's just how life goes" she said "You seem so happy on camera, but so insecure in real life" she sighed "You can never tell if the person you see on T.V is ok at all."
"Always Smile. Use Your Manners.."
"Don't let them see you cry" I sighed
