Chapter 1

100% Upload Complete .

I shut the laptop closed and sighed, closing my eyes and thinking about how my life has changed in the last few years. Just two years ago, I was a regular fourteen year old with loving parents, a caring older sister, three best friends, and an amazing boyfriend. Now, I had lost a best friend, lost my mother, and lost my boyfriend. I squeezed my eyes trying to blink back the tears as I felt a burning sensation in my throat and tried to think of the positive things in my life. I still had my father, and I had another boyfriend and two amazing best friends.

I opened my eyes and looked at my closed laptop thinking about how I had just finished uploading my cover of "Die Young" by Kesha on Youtube. As you have probably guessed, I was a Youtube singer with almost 6 million fans. Of course, I always got some haters saying that my videos are just typical videos of me singing a cover of a specific popular song while playing its music on my piano and reading its lyrics from my iphone. What's so special? The thing is, I worked really hard, and my hard work paid off. I didn't directly rise to the top. It took me two years to reach what I was then.

Another reason to why I got really successful is because I was really passionate about singing. Singing was probably the only thing besides drawing that I became really passionate about ever since the two accidents that changed my life completely. Ever since the tragic changes in my life, I set my mind on becoming successful and following my dreams. That did happen, but it didn't make me forget my old life that I wished I could have back.

I wouldn't describe my voice as angelic and soft, but I'd rather say it was strong and I was completely capable of singing high-pitched notes easily. I've never took singing lessons, nor piano lessons (I played by ear), nor drawing lessons. I learmt everything by myself, and my dad always said that I was his 'Independent little girl', but the truth was, I just didn't like depending on anyone anymore, because whenever I made the mistake of doing so, that person just walked out of my life.

Nobody that I personally knew was aware of my singing abilities, the exception being my older sister Sarah, my dad, my best friends Lance and Casey, and my boyfriend Hunter. Not even my cousins knew! Not that it was a secret, but my cousins never seemed to stumble upon my YouTube channel or even videos. I never bothered telling them because I didn't really care.

People looked at me as the girl with the perfect life and the perfect friends and family. They said that I was pretty and talented with a successful life, so what more did I want? I'll tell you what I wanted: I didn't want the fame or fortune, nor did I want the beauty. I just wanted my old life that consisted of caring people back, but that was out of my favor. I had to always put on a show for the people around me, and that was what I was about to do in just a few hours.

I sat on my bed as my heart beat started accelerating, nervousness eating its way through me. I started imagining stuff that could go wrong that day. My palms got clammy just thinking about tripping and falling, or dropping the microphone, or even burping.....

"Hailey, are you finished yet?" Hunter's voice came from behind me. I quickly wiped my palms on the bed sheet and turned to face him, nodding. I checked him out, from his dirty blond hair, to his beautiful mesmerizing brown eyes, to his well-defined chest that was hugged tightly by his white shirt, to his- snap out of it!

 Heat rose to my cheeks, just for the fact that I'd been checking him out. I admit that he was a very attractive guy, though, and any girl would have been lucky to have him. At least he was able to get my mind off the 'accidents' that might happen. I risked looking at his face, and to say that he was undressing me with his eyes would be an understatement. Good, he didn't catch me ogling.

"Oi! Are you undressing me in your mind right now?!" I yelled out clapping my hands loudly.

"Can't say that you weren't doing the same thing two seconds ago" He replied, smirking, and winked. I blushed a deeper shade of red, knowing that his words are true. So he did notice, after all.

He walked closer to me and held my chin.

"You're so cute when you blush," He complimented. Is he trying to make me die from embarrassment? I swatted his hand away and stared up at him through my eyelashes. He held my hand and made me stand up, sat down in my place, and placed me on his lap caressing my back in soft soothing motions. I really loved it when he did that cute little gesture. I smiled at him as he kissed my cheek and rubbed my back, making me lean into his comfort. I leaned in and kissed him on his luscious lips and my eyes fluttered closed as soon as our lips made contact. The kiss was short and sweet, and he pulled away making me pout to whisper in my ear:

"Anyways, I came here to remind you that you have to get ready for the performance. You have one hour to finish up." Oh yeah, did I forget to tell you that I was performing at the state's biggest mall in approximately two hours? I lived in California, and that day, it wass pretty busy since many of my fans travelled here to watch my very first performance.

This is my first story! Sorry if there are many spelling/ grammatical mistakes, but I am trying my hardest here! I am pretty young, and my first language is not English, so... Please give me a chance! The whole story is planned out in my mind right now and it gets interesting soon enough!
