Bejeweled- The lucky one season 2

Speak Now(Taylor's Version) release weekend

July 6th

It's Speak now TV release eve and I’ve never been more nervous and excited about a release before. We are in a hotel in Kansas City and I made a point to rent the Event room for a listening party with my band, dancers and family. There’s a buffet settling the food and tables, and the whole room is full of purple details. They even have a full 360 degree couch with purple pillows in the middle of which they settled on a digital music player, also known as Alexa. I’m here to take a look at the progress and I’m impressed.

– Everything is just perfect, guys, excellent work. Now I’m returning to my room to get ready. See you guys at the party.

On my way to my room I make sure to text dad and let him know I want a huge tip for every employee helping to settle the party, it’s well deserved.
I'm nervous for tomorrow, and I'm not even talking about the show. As soon as the next morning Tree is going to text me with the first reviews and I always get too anxious, except for the P* one that always is bad anyway.

– Hey guys, everything is just perfect for the album release. – I say to mom and Claire.

– It's going to be a fun night, uh?– Mom grins at me, and I get emotional thinking how many album releases we already spent together. It was almost everyone expect for folklore and evermore that I was in a zoom meeting with her, Jack, Aaron and Bon Iver.

Claire is freaking adorable using one of the ribbons Grace gave to her. It's purple and is going to fit perfectly with her white T shirt and the purple all star.

– You are so beautiful, honey!– I say hugging her.

– Thanks, T. So you are going to record my reactions?

– Yep. And I already told Tree you are posting it tomorrow as part of Speak now promotion.
She gives me a thumbs up and starts to type something on her phone, sending a selfie a little later.

– Hey, who is the selfie for ?

– Ethan, he wants to see my outfit so he can choose his.

Mom gushes, finding it cute and I choose not to say anything. These two are too friends, attached to the hip. But she guaranteed me it's just friendship, so I gotta give her space and trust her. I just don't trust the boy.

– Well, I'm going to the bathroom now to get ready.– I say to them and both nod. Soon my dad,  Austin and Sidney will be here so we all can go down to the party lobby together. In a few hours, I'm going to amake peace with another piece of my past and this is everything to me.
…

It's five to midnight EST, and we are having the time of our lives at the party when I stop to make my speech and we can ALL sit on the couch to listen to my album. So Kamilla hands me a mic and I thank her.

– Hey guys! Let's sit down on this wonderful couch because I have a little bit to talk before we get to the countdown.– I say pointing to the one minute countdown that's going to start on the wall.
Everyone sits and I start:

– Guys, I'm about to own half of my old music and goes without saying how grateful I am for each one of you on my team and my tour, but it wouldn't be fair not to give a special thanks to my family. Mom, Austin, Dad and Claire, I wouldn't be here without your support. You guys saw my tears and hugged me when I lost ALL my work and almost lost my sanity. I felt hopeless but you guys cheered me up and then I finally got in agreement about the trendmark and could release it to the world. I lost many things in my life these past years, mostly of which  I can’t get back, so gain back something is something so heartwelcoming and emotional… and now I'm going to stop before I start to cry.
Everyone laughs and I play a record Memo of Mine reading the prologue.
