Madison's POV

I am currently getting set up to record another ticktok when there is a knock at the door. In comes my mother. I internally roll my eyes because I knew how this was gonna go.

My mother wants me to go to college ,settle down and give them grandbabies. It sucks because that's now how I picture my future right now . I see myself as a artist . A singer if you call it that. I have about 10 million views on tiktok and I have about 3 million on YouTube. I actually make good money doing it and It helps pay the bills but my parents have too high expectations.

"Yes mother ? What can I do for you ?" I say sarcastically .

"Honey when are you gonna go out and find a real job and maybe a nice boyfriend?" She said and I rolled my eyes.

"Mom it's not even 10 am and your already on me about this ? Can I get back to recording now ?"

"Sweetheart the good Lord didn't forsee women making money on the internet. Being all whorish. That's not what our purpose is ." She said and I groaned in annoyance.

My family is very traditional and Christian so it's very hard to get through to them.

"Mother please not now. Can we talk about this later ?"

"Me and your father have decided to set up a date for you ." She said and I gasped..

"Mom why the hell would you do that ??" I asked.

"It's time to get out there Dear. Highschool is over. Time to grow up."

"Mom I make money doing my videos and it helped pay the bills. Why is it such a problem."

"Your going on this date. End of story. He will be here tomorrow at 7 to pick you up. " She then walks away without another word.

"Fuck my life .z" I mumbled to myself and got back to work on making my video .

Let me explain.....

I am currently trying to do a contest on tiktok where the rapper Dax is choosing people to be on his Dear Alcohol remix.

I already know he's chosen a few including my idol Phix. I seen him perform a couple times but never had the courage to get the meet and greet . But maybe this could be a whole new opportunity for me..

(In this story I am going to use skydaddys verse for the remix. I don't know how to make one up for myself so I'm just going to use hers )

I go to the laptop and press play and once the tiktok camera was set , I began singing my verse )

"I keep drinking till I'm someone I don't recognize...

I got wasted...

Just one more shot of whiskey then I'll put the bottle down

The warmth that it provides me is the best thing that I have found

And I know that it can't kill me 'cause I'm already dead

And I would do anything to drown these thoughts inside my head

I'm messed up, fucked up, and I only disappoint

My mental health doesn't give me much a choice

Drunk in the crowds, getting lost in all the noise
If someone screams and no one hears, do they even have a voice?"

I stopped what I was doing and ended the video before editing it and posting it. I put my phone down and sighed. We will see !

"I saw your video girl ! You got some major talent. Dax will be an absolute idiot for not choosing you ."

"Come on Serena. There is no way he'd notice someone like me ." I said and she scoffs. Serena is my best friend but sometimes she's a little too much.

Suddenly my phone started rapidly going off and I see that my video got 3 million views but that's not what got me excited.
