Sometimes I don't know if I wanted the fame to start with. But that's crazy, right? Most people grow up with dreams of being famous. Of living in a giant house in Hollywood and riding in limos and walking the red carpet. Who would think that I would drop being famous any chance I saw. Only problem is, there is no chance.

Don't get me wrong, I love being famous. I have the big house. I have the limos. I have been on the red carpet. But I would give anything to go unnoticed for just one day.

My mother used to tell me stories just before she tucked me in at night. She told me the stories of princes and princesses. Of kings and queens and castles and dragons. But all of that is over now. There are no more stories. There are no more knights in shining armor. No more nights when my mother gets to tuck me into bed. Because there is no more six year old Gem and no more mother.

There is only me. In a world where everyone knows my name. I am in a world where I can't escape. I am all alone just looking for someone to understand, yet finding no one to comfort me.

I am lost. I am lonely.

I am Gem.
