"Hey guys! Marina here. So, I've gotten a lot of comments on my videos about you guys cutting and having eating disorders. I have advice. If people are making fun of you for anything, just ignore them or smile and say thanks. If you act like you don't care, it'll stop. But if you're like me, you wouldn't know how to do that. I know what position you're in because I was there. Talk to an adult. They'll help you. If you have an eating disorder, please tell a trusted adult because being super skinny isn't fun. You don't need to look like a stick. You're all beautiful. Trust me on this. If you feel like no one loves you or cares about you, you're lying. There's someone that loves unconditionally. If you need to talk to someone, I'm here. My Skype address is in the description. Please use it if you're feeling down of feel like you're worthless. I love you all so much and if I find that you're hurting yourself or starving yourself, I feel like someone I'm very close to is doing it. You guys are my family. I know this was really short but I'm working on another cover that I know you guys will love. I love y'all so much. Bye my diamonds!" I say, staring into my camera lens. I plug my camera into my laptop and start editing.
I apply a cool filter and put my little ending at the end. My ending is all of my social media stuff with a clip of my song Electra Heart. I call my viewers my "diamonds". My manager, Sarah, has been pushing me to release another album because my last one, The Family Jewels, was such a big success. Well, half of my new album is done. I have 6 songs done and I'm expected to write 7 more. Oh God.
I finish editing and adding tags and a description and title. I post it on to my YouTube channel, Marina and The Diamonds, which is also my business name. I've even written a song with Charli XCX. I then get a call from my manager.
"Yes Sarah?" I ask.
"Come down to the studio. ASAP." Sarah says firmly.
"What, why?" I ask.
"Too much to explain. Now get down here!" she yells. I hang up and throw on a red flannel, black leggings, and black combat boots. I grab my purse and head down to the studio.
When I get there, I immediately head back into the recording booth. There stands Sarah and . . . 5 Seconds of Summer? I stare at the boys in awe. Holy shit. 5 Seconds of Summer is standing right in front of me.
"Marina, this is Ashton Irwin, Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, and Michael Clifford. Guys, this is Marina." Sarah introduces. I smile at them and shake their hands. They all smile back, and my eyes stay on Michael for a little longer.
"Well, Marina, we would like for you to open-up for us on our next tour." Calum says. I stare at him. Wide-eyed and shocked.
"Y-you want me to o-open-up for you guys on t-tour?" I stutter.
"Yes," the say at the same time. "Now, could you please sing us one of your songs so we know what you'll sound like live?" I nod and head into the recording booth.
"Don't do love, don't do friends
I'm only after success
Don't need a relationship
I'll never soften my grip
Don't want cash, don't want card
Want it fast, want it hard
Don't need money, don't need fame
I just want to make a change
I just wanna change [5x]
[Chorus:]
I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh
One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the worst
So I always act like I'm the best
If you are not very careful
Your possessions will possess you
TV taught me how to feel
Now real life has no appeal
It has no appeal [5x]
[Chorus 2x]
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly,
I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die,
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, gonna die, die, die, die
[Chorus 2x]
Da-da-dum...
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh." I sing. They stare at me awe. I flush scarlet walking out.
"Holy shit you're amazing." Michael blurts out. I smile and thank him.
"So, are you in?" Luke asks.
"Yes, I will go on tour with you." I smile. I squeal as they pull me into a giant group hug.
I'm going on tour with 5 Seconds of Summer.
