~Gina's POV~

As I saw Kris leaving to stage, I noticed that he had something red in his eyes and he coughed meanwhile.

"Daniel!" - I called Kristian's brother.

"Hm?" - he aproached.

"Is Kris doing well?"

"Yeah he is okay. He had a cold few days ago so maybe that is why he is coughing."

"You sure? I know he doesn't sleep so well last few days."

"Yah totally. It's fine."

I wanted to believe him but I just couldn't.

"Okay Kris, you have 3 takes. The third one will be filmed. Okay?" - Tea was just doing her job.

"Yep. Let's go!"

Lights went down and music started. I saw Daniel behind me biting his nails like he was nervous about something. Something was definitely wrong but delegation was hiding it. In the end of "Water so deep, how do we breathe" part, Kris's voice cracked and he coughed. Music stopped. I took the microphone so he could hear me up there on stage.

"You need a break?"

"Nope, I am fine." - he was still coughing.

"I will repeat myself; do. You. Need. A. BREAK?" - I got pissed because every single contestant who had a slightest problem listened to me and took a break, but he didn't.

"No! I swear I am fine!"

"Ugh fine. Take one. One more time." - Kristian was really pissing me off in that moment.

I was holding up to myself not to curse out loud, I didn't know why was it pissing me off so much but it just was. He did it quite fine the second time and he managed to finish the song successfully even though I still had doubts. As soon as I turned around to see what was happening in the green room, people who were sitting in there just hitched looking towards the stage. As I turned around, I saw Kris on the floor.

"Next time I say to take a break, then f*cking TAKE A BREAK!" - I shouted while running up on stage.

I wasn't glad that I was right the whole time. As much as I wanted to tell everyone "I told you so" I also wanted to cry that much. I went up there and sat down on my knees putting Kristian's head on them. He was still awake but exhausted.

"Sorry." - he smiled at me hoping I would forgive that easily.

"I don't want to listen to your sorry."

"Well at least we are even now." - he was probably talking about that day when he thought something happened to me.

"I hate you so much." - I tried smiling through tears.

Daniel took him outside the arena as I told him that Kristian should rest. I went to the toilet to refresh myself.

"Tea, continue with rehearsals. I'm gonna be back soon." - I said while leaving.

I was thinking about every single problem that occured during rehearsals and remembered that Bosnian delegation still needed someone to perform. This all happened because of lack of sleep of contestants. No one slept for days and there is almost nothing worse than lack of sleep. I returned to the arena and just after everyone finished their rehearsals, I ordered everyone to go and sleep as soon as they come back to their hotel rooms. I found the head of bulgarian delegation to say that they will have a redo of second rehearsal at 8 am, just before the jury rehearsals for semi-final 1. I went back home lying down on my bed pissed off while remembering the whole day.
