I am sitting in the limo with my agent Aliyah. Looking at her I ask. "Did you put those tickets aside for my sister and friends?"

"Yes, I did. I also gave them VIP access to you before and after the show. I hope that's alright with you?"

A smile spreads across my face. "That's fine. When we get there I want you to look for my sister and bring her straight to my change room I need to talk to her."

The limo pulls around to a side entrance that's secured by security, that's there to protect me from fans. That may or may not be dangerous to me. The door opens and my head security guy, Denzel is standing there. He holds his hand out to me and I take it. "Hello, Miss Stryker. Are you ready?"

"You know I'm always ready for my concerts, Denzel. Did you bring your daughter tonight?" I ask, stepping out of the limo.

"No, Miss." He steps aside. "She's at home with my wife. She tried to get tickets to concert, but it was sold out before she could get them."

Looking at Aliyah I say. "Get some tickets for them and give it to Denzel tonight before he goes home."

"Yes, Miss Stryker." She writes it down on her notepad. She pulls her walkie talkie out of her pocket. "Does anyone have eyes on Maggie Stryker and her friends?"

The walkie talkie goes off and someone replies. "Yes, I have my eyes on them. Should I approach them?"

Aliyah looks at me and I nod. "Yes, tell them that Melody wants to see them in the change room." She leads me to the room. Once in the change room I walk over to the rack and flip through the clothes trying to find something to wear for my first song. I settle on a red dress that has a slit up the side and it flows around my stomach.

Grabbing the dress I walk into the bathroom and put the dress on. While getting changed I hear my sister say. "Where's Melody?"

"She's getting changed. She'll be out in a moment." As Aliyah says, that I walk out of the bathroom.

"Hey, Sis." I move over to my sister and pull her into my arms, hugging her. "I want you to sit in a special section that I had reserved for family and friends."

A smile spreads across her face. "I'm glad you thought of me when it came to that spot. Will it fit all my friends?"

"Yes, it will. You're going to have the best view of the stage as well. Now, introduce me to your friends."

Maggie places her arm through mine and she drags me out of the change room. She stops close to her friends who are arguing about the cutest guy in school. Maggie clears her throat and the group turn towards her.

One of the friends screams and yells. "It's Melody Stryker."

I cover my ears as the rest of the girls scream as well.

Maggie whispers. "They're you're biggest fans, Mel. I should have told you that before I requested a bunch of tickets from you."

I laugh. "Its fine, Mag's. After the last couple of weeks I've had, it's good to see my fans are still loyal to me." I step into the middle of the group and introduce myself to them. From what I've seen of the girls they aren't using my sister to get to me. Which is a good change for her.

During the last couple of years she had friends that used her to get into my concert and after the free tickets they walked away from my sister leaving her in tears. I pointed that out to her and she didn't believe me at first.

I think she might ask me whether or not these friends are going to leave her and I'm going to tell her I think this group will be loyal to her.

Maggie gives Aliyah a camera. "Can you take a picture of us, please?"

"Sure," Aliyah looks at me. "If that's alright with, Melody."

A smile spreads across my face. "I'm okay with that." Maggie stands next to me and on the other side is one of Maggie's friends. Behind me is a couple Maggie's friends. The flash goes off on the camera and then Maggie suggests that we pull a funny face at the camera and we do.

"Five minutes, Melody." The stage hand says.

"Okay," I put the microphone on my head and look at the girls. "Denzel, will show you to your seat. Before you leave I have something for you." I give the girl's my new album. The album I gave them hasn't hit shelves yet, but it will in the next two weeks.

"Thank you, Melody." The girls say as they take the album from me.

I watch them walk away with Denzel. Clipping the microphone to my dress I make my way over to the stage.

The Benson Brother's finish their last song and they walk off the stage hitting each other on the back. Drew the eldest of the brother's stops next to me. "Kill it out there, Mel." He kisses my cheek, before walking over to his brothers who whistle at him.

A stage hand stops next to me. "You can go on now."

I walk onto the stage and look at the audience. Taking a deep breath I begin my first song and the crowd goes wild and they begin to sing my song with me. Looking over at my sister I see her dancing with her friends.

Maybe I'll get the girls on stage later.

I move my hips as I continue to sing the song. One of the back-up dancers places his hand on my hips and we begin to move as one. Then he spins me around and dips me. I walk away from the guy as the chorus begins.

And I never want to see you again,
You made promises,
And broke them.

You left me broken,
And yet I had to mend my heart,
But that doesn't mean I forgive you.

I'm shutting the door on our love,
And opening it for another,
Who's going to show me what you couldn't.

All I can say is thank you,
For showing me your true self,
It's what I needed during a rough time.

A tear rolls down my face as I continue singing the song that I wrote about the first guy I fell in love with. He was my first for everything, but after I gave him my virginity he ran for the hills. I think that was the only thing he wanted from me.

Looking into the crowd I see my ex fiancé and his arms are wrapped around the woman he left me for. Her stomach is huge, showing me that he's been cheating on me for longer than he told me. As I look at the happy couple laughing and enjoying my show I get flashbacks of moments between us

I start to have problems breathing as I remember the last time we were together.

We were sitting close to the pond at my ranch feeding the ducks. I lie my head on his shoulder and he whispered. "I love you, Melody Stryker. I can't imagine a day without you in my life. When we go on our honeymoon I want us to try for a baby."

I told him that I would like that and then we made out. Things started to become heated between us and we made love in that spot.

I can't do this anymore.

I pull off the headset and walk off the stage. Running to the change room I lock myself in the room and grab the bottle of champagne that's sitting in an ice bucket. I put the bottle to my lips and begin to drink.

There's a bottle of prescription medicine on the table and I look at it.

"MELODY," Aliyah yells. "Open the door."

I ignore her and move over to the bottle. I unscrew the cap and look at the tablets I put them on table. Taking another long drink of the champagne I start to feel lightheaded. I continue to drink until there's nothing in the bottle.

The door to the room is kicked open and I fall to the ground. Before I black out I hear Aliyah say. "She took something."

Darkness takes over me and I black-out.
