Legacy

Chapter 1:

I would like to give a huge thank you for even reading this story first of all. I know that it must be hard as Selena didn't have kids before she died and that is what inspired this story. So please no harsh critiques if I get any general information wrong, sadly I don't have the book Chris Perez published which I will get and later change the mistakes............

Enjoy :D

Sophia's  Point of View

My name is Sophia Marie Perez Quintanilla; I am the daughter of the late Queen of Tejano music Selena Quintanilla  & Chris Perez both Grammy winners. People think that by having the last name Quintanilla I would be in the spot light as any kid of famous people are. I don't see myself as one of them. I did loose my mom when I was almost 3 years old and that broke my family to pieces especially my dad who lost his  soul mate, his best friend.

I resemble my mother a lot so people tell me and by pictures. I look exactly like my mother , same body, same appetite, same spirit. The only difference is my hair and eyes which I got from my father dark and curly.

There was a period of time were I didn't see my father and my family would always make up stories as to why every time I asked about him he didn't show up. In some ways I did feel like I did loose my father as well. But as I grew older they did explain to me that his way of dealing with momma's death was by using things that weren't good for him.  After three years of my mom's death he meet Venessa Villanueva, after which he married after having my little sister Cassie. Then a few years later around 2001 they had my little brother Noah. Around 2008 they got divorced, since then he hasn't remarried.

Around the year 2005 when I was around 13 years old, in Univision they did a tribute concert to my mom called Selena Vive, the band got back together to perform my moms greats hits like Como la Flor, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, I Could Fall in love, Dreaming of you, etc. My uncle A.B did his version of Baila Esta Cumbia using a video of my mom in her last concert. During those rehearsal where the hardest for my family, I remember going to one of them as I sat in the stage listening to them play I could notice how my dad, aunt Suzzy, where the first one to cry but tried their best to hide it, but at the end they all ended up crying including me. The day of the concert was really sentimental in the fact that it was exactly 10 years since my mom passed away and her legacy still lives on, you see girls who weren't born in her time jam to her music. Young ladies dressing like her and trying to dance like she did. At the end of it all the tribute concert was a great hit.

The memory that I still carry of my mom since she died when I was 3 the day before she died as every night for bed she would sing me my favorite song Bidi Bidi Bom Bom as she always told me the song was inspired by my dad, that every time he was near her heart would make that sound plus she use to sing that to me when I was in her stomach.

After my mom died it was hard for me to fall sleep because she was the only one that would be able to make me fall asleep, the day mom died was the most hardest as the only thing my dad and me could do was cry, cry for the fact that we lost one of the most important people in our world, we both lost our best friend.

As I grew up going to my mothers boutique since my dad and aunt Suzzy  were  technically the ones charge I grew a passion for fashion, how ironic. I slowly started by seeing my mom's designer try to design new clothes which resembled my moms style which he did successfully but as I grew older I ended up helping him with the designs and he did use my input in them some.

" your defiantly your mothers daughter" he would always tell me.

Everyone had the hopes that my moms beautiful talent would be passed down to me as she was a natural singer, I knew how to dance but they were just waiting on that to happen. My grandfather had the same hope that I would have inherited my moms singing ability as he could have created another generation of Los Dinos, he was the first generation and my mom and my aunt and uncle were the second generation.
