Prologue
Here I am. Sitting in this mirror right before my big performance. Think about where it all started. I put these earrings and make up on without a care...not really caring where I STARTED. Just to think that I was just like the people in the audience, coming to see a celebrity getting credit for what someone else has done for them. Me, Maliyah Jones, was once one of the people.
" Ms. Jones?"
" Yes, Jeff?"
" You're on in 5... whats the matter? You seem bothered. Want to talk in the little 5 minutes that we have?"
" Its nothing."
" Maliyah, I know you. Whats the matter?"
" I was just thinking about how I started in this game; just the fact that I didnt get to thank Max before he died. Hes the main reason I'm here. If it wasnt for him, I don't know where I would be."
" Im sure he's looking down on you and is proud. Now come on miss black Kim Kardashian-"
" You know I hate that cornyass nickname, Jeff!"
" I know Im just fuckin with ya. Rock that stage, Lili."
" Thanks, Jeff."
