Please review. It would also be really cool if you check out my other pieces. -Kerri
"I am hung over as fuck", I said across the room where my manager/ best friend Rachel was waiting for me to wake up with a bottle of water and a bottle of Motrin.
"I know, but happy twenty second birthday", she said as I swallowed the pills and chugged the rest of the water bottle. I stood up and shook my head to get rid of last night's birthday adventures.
"Thank you", I said as I hugged her. I walked into the bathroom where I was kind of satisfied to see that my hair was still kind of straight and my eyeliner was smeared so bad I looked like Ke$ha in the Tic- Tock video. I brushed out my hair, washed my face but didn't put more make up on. Tonight were the VMAs and I was presenting an award so MTV was sending over a makeup crew to make me look good.
I walked back out to find the crew was all ready there and because my hotel was on the same street as the theater I would literally walk onto the carpet after I got ready. A
After the makeup crew gave me a smoky eye and a tan I slipped on a gold glitter strapless dress and four inch Jimmy Choos and was ready to go, but not before I wiped off the makeup they used to cover the small tattoo on my wrist. I walked out of the hotel with Rachel and ended up taking a car down the street to the theater. As soon as I exited the car cameras flashed and I stopped at the Buzznet camera first to do an interview. Alex Lipshaw from Hey Monday was the correspondent for the show tonight.
"Melissa Crawford, how do feel about presenting tonight"
"I'm really excited. MTV couldn't have been more courteous about flying me out here and I'm really glad I get to do it".
As the red carpet people started pushing me on to the next camera.
"Melissa one more question!"
I pushed away from the people shoving me off and stood back in front of Alex Lipshaw.
'So, Melissa we hear you are presenting with one of the nominees tonight. How does it feel to be able to meet one of your favorite musicians?"
"I actually don't know who I'm presenting with yet", I said in all honesty.
"Should we leave it to be a surprise?"
"I think that's a good idea." I told him and kept walking down the carpet, doing interviews.
I kept walking and getting pictures taken and by the time I was at the end I was ready for the after party already. I was ushered to my seat and sat down next to an empty seat, and Rachel. A minute later a man walked down the aisle of seats and sat next to me, followed by four other guys. I didn't pay much attention until I heard the man next to me laugh. The laugh was so familiar, but I couldn't place it. It wasn't until the lights in the theater went out and the show was about to start that I finally looked over to see who laughed. As soon as I looked, I turned my heard around and looked straight forward. Jack Barakat was sitting right next to me.
