That's Not Me

Divert My Attention

Y/N's P.O.V

I never thought I would be so pumped watching my album on the charts. My album dropped just last week and 4 of my songs made it to the top 10 with 1 winning the crown, claiming the number one stop. My album its self was in the top 5. And the streams for the album was none stop, as the numbers would jump rapidly every second. All of my friends and team from Rocque Records were cheering and celebrating. Finally, my life was starting to fall into place.

I wasn't worried about where my life was going, or having the need to continue to play pretend, like I was happy with my life. I wasn't back then. But now, for the moment, everything felt so peaceful and just right.

Like that time when I was 16. I got a part time job working at my parents law firm, just doing the basic; organizing paper work and other boring tasks. After some time I finally managed to get enough money to buy a playstation 4. Usually I would spend most of my time playing music or studying, but I wanted to play video games online with my friends. I had so much fun playing GTA and Call of Duty. I remember thinking that I wouldn't mind playing video games for the rest of my life. Because in that moment I had no worries about anything, nothing that gave my life stress.

I told my friends about it. Playing video games for the rest of my life. That or just watch people play. Do something that wasn't me. Whether it's sleeping, or playing video games, or playing the piano, or studying. Giving my thoughts up, that's what was important. Not thinking about anything, and letting my mind be clear. In this moment it was just like back then. Empty mind, with nothing but peacefulness.

"Alright Y/n let's get right to the point" I hear Daniel, one of the record labels executives says, snapping me out of my thoughts. He looked so happy and excited, though I could see that hint of green in his brown eyes. Almost like money signs were his new pupils. That little Caching like noise ringing clear in my head. "Ive been watching you and I like what I see. You are a talented, talented kid. You sing, you dance. Hell maybe you can act, I hope you can act" He places his hands together as if he was prying to his god.

"I can." I slowly nod my head trying not to make and snarky remarks. These people were professions and ive been taught to always be respectful in a professional environment.

"Because there are so many things we can do for your imagine. Make you bigger than anyone in Hollywood." He says.

"Thank you, sir. I mean, coming from you this would be such an honor"

"Good, good. I will talk to your manager Mrs. Martinez and we'll see what we can do about getting you on tour" He smiled. "Now, y/n take it easy and don't get into trouble."

"Staying out of trouble is all I'm good for" I mumbled under my breath. Daniel gave me a wide smile, shaking my hand before him and his pals walk out of the studio room. When they got out, Ariana, Zendaya and Selena were still with me, though they didn't look as excited as they were just a moment ago. They already knew from my posture, I was thinking long and hard.

"Hey y/n, are you alright?" Ariana asked. I know they saw what happened a couple of weeks ago during my concert. Pulling Hailee on stage and singing her that song. They had yet to find out Emily was actually Hailee, and so I decided to tell them. I wanted to be honest with my friends.

And as I expected, at first they were really mad, but confused as well. Selena on the other hand didn't show a reaction expect curiousness. Her eyes narrowed as I told them everything I knew.

"Wait, did Hailee tell you this?" She asked. This was the second time her only concerned was how I found out. Nothing else. No questions about why Hailee did what she did or throwing insults her way like Zendaya and Ariana.
