| Chapter 26 • The Grammy's |
Michael•
Today's the day, I must admit I was nervous. I honestly didn't have my hopes up only because I was in a category with talented talented people. Off the Wall did go Platinum last night so there is a possibility I could win but my hopes aren't up. I am excited though.
I'm excited for my Butterfly, I'm excited for Toke and Onny. I'm excited for Ciara but I refuse to talk to her, especially after that stunt she pulled at the studio. I'd just got my girl back I was not about to let her go.
I am the announcer person for the award that the girls are nominated in, and they're the announcer for my award. Crazy, isn't it?
Well, I'll switch over to Butterfly but fair warning, she's very nervous. See ya🙂
Jayden•
I think Mike told you already but I am so freaking nervous! Our first Grammy! The girls and I were running around like chickens with our heads cut off. Michael seemed calmer than us but I knew he was nervous deep down.
"What time do we have to be there? Or what time is the limo coming?" Ciara asks, "Around 5:20, the awards show starts at 6:30/7:00." Token replies
"Okay so its 11:35, the hair dresser and makeup artists should be here right-." I was cut off by knocking at the door, "Now." I finish
"Wait we don't have our dresses on!" Onyx exclaims, "Okay umm, Buggs let them in and you two go to the bathroom and slip your dresses on." I instructed to Onyx and Token
"What do I do?" Ciara asks, "You start getting your makeup done, I'll start on my hair." I said
~ Laytal, After All The Chaos~
Man, we look hot.
I turn to Michael and smile, "How do we look?" I smile softly, "You all look stunning." Buggs smiles, wrapping his arms around my waist, he was in a tux-looking all cute and stuff😌
"Get a quick picture before we leave, we have 10 minutes for a quick photoshoot." Ciara says, we all agree to the plan before giving Michael the phone
"Alright, ready?" He says, we all nod and pose for the picture
Alright, lets get to the Grammy's!
~ The Building ~
Wow, this was all so beautiful and shocking! Different celebrities getting interviewed and walking the red carpet, some pulling up. Michael had to ride in a different limo cause I honestly dont know.
"Ready girls?" I mumble, feeling my stomach twist, they all let out shakey breaths before nodding
We all smiled and got out the car, instantly blinded by the lights. "Jayden Jayden over here! Token! Onyx smile! Over here Token! Jayden look please! Ciara why are you here? Ciara! Look!" The paparazzi are so mean
We all smile for the pictures before walking onto the red carpet, fans screaming as loud as they could possibly could. We stopped where we were told and started posing for the pictures. We did get interviewed but it wasn't anything too important.
Just how we're doing, any songs coming up and what we were wearing.
~ MICHAEL'S AWARDS 🤠 ~
"Please welcome to the stage, Destiny's Child!" The hostess Diana Ross says (🌚)
OH! Here's our announcer outfits!
Simple and sexy! DOUBLE OH! Michael already performed Don't Stop Til You Get Enough and Rock With You. Let me tell you, he looked smoking h a w t ! 😪
We go to the stage with a huge smile as everyone cheers and claps, I send a wink to Michael before clearing my throat.
"Good afternoon everyone!" Onyx says, I grin before leaning to the mic, "We are so excited to be here but its not about us right now." I pass over to Toke, "Right now is about The Best Breakout Album of the Year!" She says, "So without further ado-." Ciara looks over at all of us before straight to the crowd, "And the nominees are!" We exclaim before doing the little arm thing to the screen
As everyone's attention was turned to the screen, we get the envelope that held the winner and we also get the award. After everyone was called out, everyone's attention was turned to us.
"Whew, this is so..oo!" Onyx says causing everyone to laugh a little, "The winner, of the Best Breakout Album of the Year award goes to..." Ciara starts, I open the envelope and giggle softly, a fat blushed formed on my face. "Go ahead." Token says before moving herself, Ciara, and Onyx back
"Michael Jackson for Off the Wall." I giggle before clapping with everyone else
Its so funny and adorable that I got to announce that my baby won! I'm so proud of him, he worked hard on this project, its what he deserves! Everyone in his category deserved this award, but Michael was the one who got it.
He makes his way on the stage and hugs each of the girls, Ciara knew not to be extra cause I won't hesitate. Once he got to me he places a kiss on my lips which makes everyone cheer and some whistle.
Once he got to the mic, he giggle softly and raises his award in the air, "First of all I'd like to thank God, without him this wouldn't be possible. I'd like to thank my management and family, my lable as well. My fans, this is mine as well as it is yours. I'd also like to thank these ladies, and my Butterfly, they've been keeping me motivated and I love them dearly. Love you, Butterfly. Thank you all again." Michael speaks before raising his award again and smiling
He grabs my hand in his as we walk off stage and Diana starts the show up again. Once we were backstage I hug him so tight, "I'm so proud of you baby." I mumble in his ear
"Thank you, Butterfly, thank you." He pecks my forehead before I finally released him
The girls all say congratulations before we let Michael go take his pictures and we go to our dressing room. We'd have a little segment with Diana, then commercial, one more award being announced and then it would be time for the girls and I to perform.
We'd actually be performing 2 songs then our award category would be announced.
~ THE GIRLIES PERFORMANCE ~
Here's our fits, we look so beautiful guys! 🥺
I got so nervous like a different type of nervous, my heart dropped so far. "You okay?" Ciara asks, I nod softly and let out a shakey breath, "This is our first performance in a long long time, people probably don't even remember us." I explain
"Girl TYME days." Onyx and Token smile, "Destiny's Child to the stage, Destiny's Child to the stage."
As we went to the stage and got in position we say a quick prayer, hoping everything would go how it was supposed to.
"Welcome back to the stage, Destiny's Child!" Diana says causing everyone to start clapping
We'd be peforming No, No, No and With Me, "Grammy's, let me hear ya?" Ciara calls causing us to somewhat frown our face but quickly smile again
Please Jesus...p l e a s e !
Michael•
I was sitting in my chair of course, watching the girls do their thing. Everything was going as planned until Ciara started singing Jayden's part. A little murmuring is heard which made me shift uncomfortable.
You could tell by Onyx's face she was ready to blow up, I grin softly and sing the song with them. Again, Ciara wanted to sing on Jayden's part which was starting to get me annoyed. Hey, at least they're getting a good response from everyone.
Once they were done performing, the crowd cheers and claps as I get to the back. I stand at the peak, hearing Diana joke and things about the girls. I could help but to remember our past, Dirty Diana.
We had such a beautiful relationship, I was so obsessed and in love with her. She was my first love, I lived with her. She played me, multiple times but I was blinded by her love. Anyway.
"Please welcome to the stage once again, Michael
Jackson!" Diana calls causing the crowd to cheer
I walk out to the stage with a smile on my face, I look over at Diana and nodding softly, "Hey Everyone. This next award is for the Best R&B Single of the Year! Everyone in this specific and every category mentioned are such talented people and I want to personally congratulate each and everyone of you." I stand straight to clap with the crowd, "And, the nominees are."
As the nominees are called out, I grab the award and the envelope that held the winner. I clear my throat before looking around the crowd, "The Winner of Best R&B Single of the Year award is... Destiny's Child, With Me!" I smile
I was so proud of these girls. I watch as they come out with complete shock faces, Jayden was last and she looked like she was about to cry. Onyx takes the award and thanks me quietly, I of course side hugged everyone but I kissed my Butterfly
"This...this is crazy oh wow." Onyx says, "I can't believe it, thank you guys so much." Ciara says, "This is crazy, we haven't even had a change to change." Token starts, causing us to laugh, "All of us would like to thank God, our fans, family, management and everyone else. I love yall so much." She blows a kiss
"I'm..I thank you all, everyone. Without you guys and God, this would not be happening. I would also like to thank everyone in this category with us, you all are so beautiful and talented. This is so crazy. Michael, baby I love you, you told me-you told us that we'd go far with our voices. I'm so grateful, thank you all. We love you." Jayden says before holding up the grammy
Once we were backstage, I pull Butterfly into my arms and peck her lips, "I'm proud of you my love." I smile, "Thank you, love."
The rest was history, a beautiful event. It was such a magical night.
