sitting on a crate, makeup smeared from tears, looks up with red eyes It's... it's all wrong. I can't do this.
sniffles and wipes away tears Sing. I can't sing anymore. Every time I step on that stage, I feel like I'm suffocating. Like I'm...
voice trembling Like I'm drowning in my own fear. I don't know if I can handle it anymore. What if I mess up? What if they hate me?
Have you had anything to eat?
waves her hand dismissively No, I can't eat right now. I need your help, Civitan. I need you to hold me and tell me everything will be okay.
Come here I'll hug you tight and we'll go eat something after.
rushes into Civitan's arms, clinging onto him tightly Thank you, thank you, thank you... I needed this so badly.
What did you need? I ask tenderly
sighs heavily I needed you to remind me that I'm not alone in this. That someone believes in me. That someone cares about me.
sniffs and wipes her nose, looking up at Civitan with teary eyes I... I don't know what I would do without you. You're my rock, my safe place.
Go eat now and take a nap.
nods, still holding onto Civitan Okay, I'll go eat. But promise me you'll stay here and wait for me, okay? I don't want to be alone right now.
