DISCLAIMER: in the upcoming chapters I'll be using Olivia Rodrigo's song 'Drivers License'. For the purpose of the story, I will be saying that Jorgia Taylor wrote it, which is obviously not the case. I do not own the rights to 'Drivers License', I did not have any involvement in the creation or release of the song, I am just using it for fictional creative purposes. I wanted to make that clear so I don't get into a lawsuit situation over copyright infringement or something like that lol. I hope you're enjoying the story so far, ima let you read on :)
Today is the day. It's been 3 weeks since I released the video and I have to say it's been the most hectic 3 weeks of my life! Within the first week alone I hit 92 million views - which is crazy - and now I am on 234 MILLION VIEWS! WHAT?! That same week the video was uploaded, I had a producer contact me about potentially releasing 'Drivers License' which obviously I agreed to! I'm in complete shock how much my life has changed in less than a month: three weeks ago I was a girl living my broadway dreams; now I'm releasing a song and writing an album. (this last part is top secret info - even Ella doesn't know!) Drivers License is being released at 6pm, just before my show, and I have never been more excited in my entire life!!

I think tonight has definitely been one of the best shows so far, the energy in the audience has been insane! I've just finished the busiest stagedoor I've ever seen on broadway, I'm pretty sure there were people waiting for a photo/signature who weren't even at the show which is mental because we only ever get some of the audience come round, but that's a blessing in disguise cause it means I can go home early lol. I pick up my phone to check what was happening on my instagram. The response we got just after the release was crazy, so many people have told me how much they love Drivers License and what it means to them; which means a lot to me. I scroll through the comments and one catches my eye, so I pause to read it:

what. Blonde boy commented. And he called me beautiful. I'm in shock, I think he likes me. "What is wrong with me?" I mutter to myself. Of course he doesn't like me, we're just friends and I've just released a song so he has to be nice. Right? Oh I don't know anymore, I'm just going to live that single aesthetic vibe and not think about boys because 'new year new me' is who I am.

It's Thursday morning. I'm currently sat on my bed drinking hibiscus, watching the latest episode of 'Peaky Blinders', (bbc iplayer is a blessing when you are American) and having an absolute vibe of a time.
"Jorgia honey can you come here please?" Amy calls, taking me by surprise. "We need to talk to you about something." Oh no this can't be good
I take a quick look in the mirror and mentally prepare myself for whatever is about to occur, before running downstairs and being greeted with Noah and Amy sat on the sofa; a bland look on both their faces.
As I cautiously walk downstairs, Noah beckons me over to the sofa and looks at me, an unreadable expression now owning his face. "What's up." I ask, trying not to sound as worried as I'm feeling.
"Jorgia we.. we have some news for you. Now I don't know how you're going to react, but please don't be mad." He stuttered, now looking genuinely upset.
Amy hands me a plain white envelope which I snatch out of her grasp and rip open. Huh, it's a piece of paper. I turn the paper over to find a receipt from broadway.com for.. newsies tour tickets?
wait...newsies tour tickets...in Chicago?!
"OH MY GOD" I scream, possibly alerting everyone on the beach behind our garden "OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH AHHHH!!" I start jumping up and down ecstatically as grins begin to grow on their faces "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!" After I've finished having a heart attack we all sit back down on the sofa and I turn to face them.
"We wanted to treat you to say well done for all of your incredible achievements recently, I am so proud of you." Amy says, pulling me into a hug
"I am too" Noah pipes in, jumping off the sofa from behind Amy and joining our hug. "you have not only released a song, but you have managed to juggle everything alongside Beetlejuice so well. You need a break and honestly, we do too so we thought why not go and see the tour?! You have wanted to see for ages and I feel like now is the perfect time to go." Noah smiles at Amy and I before sitting back down on the sofa for the third time.

A huge bag of butterflies exploded as they called our flight for departure. I can't believe I'm actually going, I've wanted to see this show for so long! I never got to see newsies during it's broadway run, and now it's on tour I might just go and see it multiple times (I'm slightly obsessed with the soundtrack!)! As we board the plane and find our seats I feel both nervous and excited for the next few days, this break is just what I need to clear some headspace and focus on me and my family.
