Dani never imagined her life turning out this way.

There was a time when her dreams felt just out of reach—like they belonged to someone else.

But suddenly, her world was more than she ever hoped for.

Her career was at its peak. Her fan base was growing stronger by the day.

She had a loving, supportive family cheering her on from back home.

A manager and producer who believed in her from day one, back when she was just an intern in Hollywood climbing her way up to assistant.

Coworker who became a friend. Friends who became family.

Her best friends, her biggest supporters, never once let her forget how far she'd come.

And then there was her boyfriend—steady, kind, and hers.

Even through the highs and lows of their relationship, somehow, they always seemed to make it out just fine.

Big Time Rush were her angels in disguise.

From the moment the four boys came to Hollywood, her life did a complete 180.

She went from being the girl surrounded by silence to the girl swept up in daily chaos—and she wouldn't trade a second of it.

Because in that chaos, she found her home.

And she wouldn't dare wish for any of them to leave.

Now, here she was—nearly three years into her career, with three studio albums under her belt.

Not only had she been nominated for her first-ever award, but not just any award—five Tween Choice Awards.

Dani could still remember sitting on the couch back home, watching the show with her little brother and mom.

And now, somehow, she was in it.

Nominated for the biggest award of them all: Awesomest Artist.

Just being included in a category with so many influential names was already more than enough for her.

But to her surprise, she wasn't just a nominee.

She was one of the most anticipated performers of the night—right alongside Big Time Rush.

The award show arrived faster than Dani could have anticipated, and "nervous" was the bare minimum of how she was feeling.

Honestly, Dani was scared.

Scared she was going to mess everything up.

...

It was the day before the show; Dani and the boys had a dress rehearsal before their big performances.

"This is amazing!" Carlos gushed as the five teens stepped onto the stage with their VIP access passes hung from their necks.

Dani held onto Kendall's hand as she glanced around the room in complete awe.
