,,how are you feeling?"

Once more I took a deep breath. I was definitely afraid off telling everyone my past, but I was wanting so long for it. I felt like I was ready.

,,kinda scared but at the same time I'm excited,, i truthfully replied.

The interviewer looked up to me and smiled ,,okay. We asked you're fans to write us questions they always wanted to ask you" she said still smiling ,,if I ask you a question that you're not comfortable with, just tell me to ask the next one. We all know that all of this will probably be hard for you, soo we just wanted to make sure that you're at least comfortable here" she said while standing up and going somewhere.

I didn't know what was happening until I saw her walking back to her spot with two cups in her hands. The cups looked super familiar but I couldn't figure out from where.

The confusion must have been visible on my face. Before she sat back she handed me one of the cups and said ,,The coffee shop that you and Lauren went to in France is now opened in Miami too. I though it would be cool to get you iced Matcha tea" i didn't know what to say. I didn't know what I was feeling. I guess I was happy.

I looked at Lauren. She was holding the same cup as I was, but I was assuming that hers got iced Latte Macchiato in it.
I smiled at her, then turned to the interviewer and said ,,wow. You don't know what this means to me.. thank you" I took a sip of my drink. Thinking about the memories that popped up in my head, I turned to Lauren one more time and smiled. Thinking to myself, how that day changed my life.

,,I'm glad you like it. Okay let's start, shall we?" She said while picking up a paper that was on a table beside her. ,,Probably the most asked question was.. why do you wanna stop? Why now?" She asked, looking up from the paper at me.

Without any hesitations I replied ,,I always hated the fame. Even way back before I was famous, I hated it. I don't even know why to be honest, but I guess it is the spotlight you are constantly in. Everything you do is on display. Every mistake, every miss step" the whole time I was speaking, I was looking at the girl in front of me ,,and there is one more thing.. everything you talk about, you need to be totally over it. If you for example write a song about something that somehow affected you, everyone will bring it up. Your fans, every interview, literally everyone will ask about it. That is the hardest thing about fame i guess" everything I was saying, I was saying it like I had it planned beforehand.

The interviewer looked like she was deep in thoughts for a moment and they she asked ,,what would you say to all the young people out there that wants to be famous?"

I leaned back into my chair, turned to the camera and said ,,Take a moment and think about if you really want it or if you only want what comes with it. Becoming famous takes a lot of work.. hard work. Yeah once you get there you will have the money and fans.. but is it worth it?" I turned back to the girl.

,,Do you think that money buys happines?"
She was just about to ask.

Before she could even ask the question I said ,,no. Not at all" she nod her head and she mentioned for me to continue, so i did ,,I mean, not for me at least. I have a lot of money. I can buy mansion, i can buy house in the hills, i can buy whatever I what. Yet I still feel happiest in my apartment, with my best friend, cooking our favorite foods, watching our favorite shows.. you don't need a lot of money for that. You just need the right person" I looked up at Lauren, she was tearing a little. I smiled at her and nodded my head. She did the same.

The interview saw our interaction and said ,,Lauren really means a lot to you. You really love her, right?"

I was still looking at Lauren when she said it. In that moment my smile grew even bigger. With my eyes still on Lauren I replied ,,yeah, i guess I do"
