I used to know him

Chapter 1

Holding my mothers hand tight, I waited for the results to be announced.

Silence.

Everyone was eagerly waiting to hear who would win the Grammy for best new artist. I had been nominated. Knowing that I could win a Grammy at only the age of 19 was just crazy to me. My heart was thudding so loud and I felt dizzy, my hands were clammy and I felt like I was about to throw up. I can't handle this. Waiting to hear the results was killing me.

Everyone watched as the envelope was opened and the paper with the winner's name was pulled out. The announcer then paused for dramatic effect before revealing who won.

"And the best new artist goes to..."

This is it. She's about to say the winner. I really can't handle this. My legs are shaking and I can't breathe.

"Becca Jones!!"

I froze. That was me. She had just said my name. Wait, did she actually say my name or am I just dreaming? I looked at my mum and tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"Honey you won!" She shouted while jumping up and down.

I looked around to see my friends and family running to me and engulfing me in a hug.

I was still in shock

I touched my cheeks and realised that I was crying, my mum passed me a tissue and I quickly wiped my tears. I then started to walk up and the only thing I could hear was screaming and people clapping. The announcer handed me the Grammy and I stood in front of the mic and started to talk.

"Wow, I just can't even put into words right now how I'm feeling. I just want to thank my mum and dad for helping me and always telling me to never give up. I want to also thank them for believing in me even when I didn't. I want to thank my friends and family from around the world. Thank you so much for inspiring me every day and continuing to support me. I would like to thank my manager and music producers for helping me make the best music ever and also listening to what I have to say and helping me with more ideas. I obviously can't forget about my fans, thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving me and staying awake till very late at night to hear my songs when they just release. Thank you for spending your hard working money to come to my shows and to see me perform live, without you I wouldn't be here. I would also like to thank another person that has always been really special to me..."

I paused while looking around the room. I looked at my family and they looked confused as they didn't know what I was going to say.

"...his name is Nick Flow. You will all know him as the famous YouTuber but I know him as my friend from work. I first met him 4 years ago when we were working in a restaurant together. I was a waitress and he was a waiter. We spent a lot of shifts together and just become closer. We then started to talk about what we want to be when we get older. I told him that I wanted to be a singer and he told me he wanted to be a famous YouTuber. As time went on, we got closer and closer. Then one day, during our shifts, he turned to me and said 'Becca, I can already tell you will really be famous' and I couldn't help but smile. I wanted to believe him but I just couldn't as I didn't believe myself. I told him that I think he will be famous too and then I went and served a table. For the whole day, what he said was on my mind. I then started to pursue music as he started pursuing YouTube. We both got popular and then handed in our redundancy letters to the restaurant and celebrated with a pizza. As time went on, we both got busier and didn't have time to go out so we started to drift. Nothing bad happened, we were just so into our careers that we didn't have enough time to relax and hang out. We haven't talked in about three years and I shall admit that I do miss him. Umm Nick, if you're watching this, hi! How are you? Thank you for saying that so many years ago, I've never forgotten it and I hope you haven't either. I hope to talk to you soon. Thank you everyone"

I said as everyone listened with silence. When I was finished, they erupted into cheers and I smiled and wiped another tear off my face. I waved as I went backstage.
