Daneliya's POV

After a deep breath, mummy hands me a set of in ears and a microphone. She then leads down a short hallway to a closed door.

"Beyond that door is the stage. When you go up, a stage hand will come up behind you and bring a chair for you to sit in. Have fun out there, sweetheart. Mila and I will be rooting for you here." Mummy says, smiling brightly.

"Thanks mummy, I won't let you down." I say and head out on to the stage. Just like she said, a man placed a chair for me as I hobbled on to the stage where momma was waiting. She kneels down next to me and helps me place my crutches against my chair. Once I'm firmly seated, I give the crowd a quick wave before the lights dim. 

(Hailee)
This was all you, none of it me
You put your hands all over my body and told me, mmm
You told me you were ready
For the big one, for the big jump
I'd be your last love, everlasting, you and me, mmm
That was what you told me

(Daneliya)
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free

(Both)
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

(Daneliya)
I was too strong, you were trembling
You couldn't handle the hot heat rising (rising), mmm
Baby, I'm still rising
I was running, you were walking
You couldn't keep up, you were falling down (down), mmm
There's only one way down

(Hailee)
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free, oh

(Both)
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We've both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

(Both - Interchanging lines)
If you're ready, if you're ready
If you're ready, I am ready
If you're ready, if you're ready
We both know we ain't kids no more
No, we ain't kids no more

(Daneliya)
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free

(Both)
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

(Both (Daneliya))
If you're ready, if you're ready (send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready? (Treat her better)
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
If you're ready, if you're ready (send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready? (Treat her better)
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

As the song drew to a close, I looked at Momma and gave her a big smile. She led the crowd in a round of applause as I gave a small bow in my chair.

"Ladies and gentlemen, give it up once more for Daneliya Tuleshova!" Momma says. I make my way off stage rather clumsily with my crutches. As I got backstage, I was ambushed by mummy and Mila who showered me a with praise. I took a seat on mummy's lap and watched the rest of the show as it finished by uneventfully.
