Toni's POV

"Everybody knows... a turkey and some mistletoe...
Help to make the season bright...mmm...
Tiny tots...with their eyes all aglow...
I will find it hard to sleep tonight...
They know that Santa's... on his way...
He's loaded lots of toys...and many goodies on his sleigh...
And every mother's child...is going to spy...
To see if reindeers... know how to f- fly-"
I began coughing.

"S- stop it! Now!" I yelled, blowing all the fake snow off of me.

"Ms.Braxton, it was beautiful you are-" I put my hand up in the Director's face for him to stop talking.

"Hey! Did you fail to throw snow in prop school or some shit?! What the fuck is wrong with you! You're getting it more down my hundred-million-dollar throat instead of the ground! Do it right, or you're fired!" I yelled, looking up at the prop guy.

One of my assistants came up and handed me my water.

"Where's my phone!" My other assistant came running up to me, handing me my phone.

"Ms.Braxton-"

"WHAT!" I said, looking at the  Director.

"Ms.Braxton, I'm so sorry about that-"

"You sure will be if my throat gets starch," I called my manager, Craig.

"Craig, sweetie, get over here, please." In a hurry, Craig came up to us with my other manager.

"Yes, Toni, is there a problem?" He said nervously.

"Yes, there's multiple; I'm tired, hungry, the set smells like shit, they're trying to kill me with snow! I'm Toni's mother fucking Braxton. If these problems don't change, I'm out!" I yelled, making everyone stare at me like I was crazy.

"Who the hell do y'all think You're staring at!" I yelled, stomping my feet and going off into my dressing room.

"Oh, Dios mío! They were right about her a Perra!

"Woah! Miss Braxton might be a little of a"

"Bitch" said Marcus, her other manager.

"Well...it's because we're on our second leg of the tour, and she's tried, we're also squeezing in this Christmas album in the middle of October, doing music videos and extra stuff, so of course, she's going to be a little bitchie." Craig smiled.

"Okay, whatever! But if she has another out bust. I'm out! Dios, Esta's personas son irritants." He said, mumbling the last part.

"Craig, you and me both know Toni isn't going to calm down. She scares me." Marcus commented.

"I know, but I had to tell him something. He's the 5th director, and we're already over budget. And you got to grow some balls." He said, walking away.

"Should we come back when she's awake," Marcus whispered.

"Yeah, we should," Craig whispered back.

"Or whatever y'all boozes have to say...just say it," Toni said with her eyes still closed.

"Oh...no, ma'am, we just came in here to get you back on set so we can finish the video an-"

"Shut up," Toni said with her hands up. She shooed the masseuse out of the room. To leave them alone to talk.

"Talk!" Toni said impatiently.

"We would like it if you can come back on set to finish-"

She put her hand up, indicating for him to stop talking. Craig sucked his teeth and sighed in annoyance. She answered the phone talking to someone.

"Yeah, for sure! On Friday? I will be there for sure. Okay, thanks, love bye." She said, hanging up the phone and immediately started texting someone. She finished then looked up at them, annoyed.

"Ok, what do y'all want!" She said, making them jump.

"We just want you to come back on set so we can finish this video on time."

"Fine! But I want my breakfast now! It's like y'all don't care about my well-being like I'm not paying y'all!" She yelled. Marcus and Craig looked at each other then, Leaving, they called one of Toni's assistants to bring her food right away.

"Gosh, I just want her to finish this so we can go home and get paid," Marcus said. As I quickly agreed.
