I Leave for Manhattan, A Warriors fan-fic

anytime you turn around you're gonna see my name in lights.

January 25th 2023

It's been a month since the events of Christmas and do you guys remember when I said I wanted a gallery with everything that I like such as Marie Antoinette, Hannah Montana, Clueless and others. Well Jordan and his crew made that happen and today is the grand opening of my gallery entitled The Suite Life of Carrington Marie.  

I stand in the venue waiting for guests to arrive and many more. Chloe x Halle, Ashley Tisdale, Victoria Monet, Ari Lennox, Halsey and many other celebrities are expected to make apperances and give speeches. 

I'm so fucking excited...

Jordan and his squad walk into the venue with bags in their hand.

" Ahhh, J2 thank you for putting this together for me, it means alot that I get my own gallery." I said. 

" No probs, I gotta look out for my bro's little sister." J2 said as he was patting my back. "Let's go we got a grand opening to attend."  He said

I nod my head and we walk to the stage where my gallery was. I walk in and I see all these famous faces. Chloe and Halle, DDG, Ashley Tisdale, Ari Lennox and a few of my dad's former teammates.  The sound of applause filled the area as I walked inside the room. I walked around and I seen the one and only Ashley Tisdale.

"Ashley Tis-".  I stuttered as I stood in front of her.

" I know, I know you're a big fan, you literally have a poster of my album in your gallery". She said. I gazed at the photos of her albums Headstrong and Guilty Pleasure on the wall. 

" You made my childhood." I said to her as she brings me into a hug

"It's great that you look up to me. I'm honored that I have such a fanbase." Ashley said 

"I mean thousands of little girls looked up to you which led them to be powerful great young women." I say to her.

"That's right, I was a role model for young girls around the world." She says

"Well, I'll see you around." I said walking away from her. I gaze at my gallery with all my photos to document my journey of becoming a woman. 

I've really came so far from being this shy little kid to this confident young woman.

I'm so damn proud of myself.

My dad walks up onto the podium to get ready to open the event, applause follows as he introduces himself.

" my name is Stephen Curry, proud husband of Ayesha Curry, son of Dell Curry and proud daddy of the Boston Celtics." he said as the crowd laughs.

"No but tonight I'm celebrating the real woman of the hour, my beautiful daughter Miss Carrington Marie." He said trying not to tear up. " I've watched her grow over the years into this beautiful young lady and she's out doing stellar things in the community." 

"Now everyone give a big round of applause for Miss Carrington." He said holding his hand out welcoming me on the stage. I walk on the stage and I give him a big hug as I stand next to him.

" We'll now have my former teammate Shaun Livingston on the stage to have some words of encouragement." Dad says standing at the podium.

" How's everybody doing tonight. I just wanna say thank you to Stephen for having me cheer my dear niece on in her endeavors and I have a few words." Uncle Shaun said as I stood behind him

I stood there with my ankles crossed looking like a true queen. Uncle Shaun looks at me and then he brings me in front of him on stage.

" My dear niece Carrington, I've watched you grow up from this shy little kid into this beautiful, confident young lady you've always dreamed of. I want you to continue to do great things in the world and never change who you are for anyone."   He said to me with his hand on my shoulder, I then try not to tear up as he gives me a hug.

" Thank you Uncle Shaun." I whisper into his ear.

" Next we have former Disney star and current owner of Frenshe beauty products, Mrs. Ashley Tisdale-French".  Dad said.

Ashley walks onto the podium and grabs the microphone.

"How's everyone doing tonight, as you all know me I'm Ashley Tisdale and  some of you guys know me as Sharpay from the High School Musical franchise, Maddie Fitzpatrick on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody  and last but certainly not least  Candace from Phineas and Ferb. Carrington invited me today because she says I inspire her. She also says that I was a role model to her as a child and I was honored to hear that from her, So Carrington I offer these words to you, never give up and always reach for the stars." 

Everyone claps as Ashley walks off the stage back to her seat. I walk up to the podium and I stand at the microphone I wipe my eyes as I start to speak.

" I said I wasn't gonna cry". I said

" I just wanna say thank you to my big brothers for making this thing happen, Ashley Tisdale thank you as well I wouldn't be the woman I were today if it were'nt for you. but more than anything I'd like to thank my parents because I obviously wouldn't be here without them, my grandparents, my friends and even my big sister Devyn, even though I've only known you for 6 months you've helped me be a better big sister to my own siblings. "  I say with tears in my eyes.

"Okay now that my acting moment is over, In the words of Marie Antoinette herself. " I said

Let them eat cake...

As I walk off the stage Brooke, Paige, Chloe and Nia run up toward me wrapping me in a hug.

" Congrats on your gallery. " Brooke said

" Thank you Brookie, it means alot that you guys came". I said 

" Did you guys see the time when we went to topgolf, it's all framed in my gallery." I said laughing at Paige's missed shot

" Those were the days." Paige said with her hands on her hips

"Paige, that was only 3 months ago". I said laughing 

" oh right..." She said

I walk through the gallery and see every moment through my life.

What a life I lived...
