Sing 2 (Johnny x OC)

Chapter 6

Mum, Aaron, Melissa and I had so much fun yesterday. We just spent the whole time, watching movies, doing karaoke, telling jokes and catching me up to speed on my life in this world. After the first movie, we were in the kitchen getting some snacks when Mum revealed something to me that I didn't expect.

"I know this situation isn't ideal, but I'm really glad you're here." She said, a gentle smile on her face.
"Not that I don't appreciate it, but why?" I say, confused.
"Well, it wasn't obvious or expected, but I could tell that these past few months Alyssa seemed unhappy. A mother can always tell when something's wrong, you know. You'd think that being so popular would allow her to live her best life. It shocked me to no end, when she moved back into the house. She said it was because she missed me and Aaron, but eventually it started making sense. She would come home from events, recordings, interviews with bags under her eyes and a fake smile. I got really worried at one point, but I realised that she wasn't enjoying being artist as much as she did when she started. It's not uncommon for artists to experience burnout. I was going to suggest taking a break a few days ago, but as soon as she came back she went straight to bed. Then you came along. Hopefully she will have time to take care of herself in your world." She finished, with tears prickling at her eyes.

I immediately wrapped her in a hug. "Don't worry, mum. I'm sure she'll be fine where she is." I said comfortingly. The news about the other Alyssa really shocked me. I guess this is the unspoken truth about celebrities. Hope she likes my world then, can't get more boring than that.

The rest of the evening went great, it feels just like my family back home. A few differences in looks and mannerisms, but they're still the same loving family I know. We all ended up falling asleep sprawled across the couches, the TV screen turned off automatically a while ago.

Suddenly, a harsh ringing noise invaded my eardrums. My eyes snapped open and I sit up quickly, I looked around to see Melissa's phone blaring from the table. I reach over and shake her arm.

"Melissa! Your phone is ringing!" I say, shaking her shoulder.
"Hmm." She says, blearily opening her eyes.
I reach over and hand her the phone, she stares at it for a second, rubs her eyes and pick the call.
"Hello, Alyssa Mercia's office. This is Melissa speaking." She says in a neutral tone.

The person on the line talks for a while, as their speaking Melissa's eyes slowly widen in shock.

"That sounds great but I will need to confirm this with Miss Mercia before anything else. Hold, please." She says, making my eyebrows furrow.
"What's up, Melissa?" I ask.
"Okay big news, you've been hired to perform in a play sponsored by Crystal entertainment, called Out of this World..." the rest of her explanation gets drowned out as I am lost I'm in my own thoughts.
So this is where the film comes in. I should have expected this, to be honest. I should probably still get involved, so my presence in this world doesn't affect the future, or something.
"So, I know you said you haven't really sang in front of people before but, are you up for it?" She asks, hopeful.
I smile, "I'd love too." I say, despite the nerves twisting in my gut. What have I gotten myself into now? Sigh.
