October 1, 2013 - Los Angeles

Amy's P.O.V.

There's always one of those times when you don't know whether you're feeling more excited, annoyed, happy or just plainly tired of everything. And you must not complain. Fake a smile Amy, embrace yourself for questions.

I hate interviews.

My eyes followed the lady in front of me, seeing her how she makes herself comfortable on the chair. She definitely looked clumsy and also, uninformed. I still can't get over the fact that she expressed her happiness to have a famous singer as me to interview. Uhm, no? It would be a disaster if I happen to sing a note. Apocalypse. All the unicorns would die, now we don't want that to happen, don't we?

Maddie, as I learned to be her name, cleared her throat and placed a little device on the little table that was standing between us. No, why would she record me, my voice is so stupid on tape. I looked at her disapprovingly, but she didn't catch my intentions and smiled.

"So Amy, three months ago you've been chosen-"

"Actually, it's been four months." I corrected, taking a deep breath as I pulled a smile on my face. I'm so done with this woman.

"Oh I'm sorry, yes, four." she flicked through the papers in her hands. "Well firstly, I want to congratulate you, you have gotten really successful over the country for such a short time."

"Thank you." I nodded. I really don't remember the last time I've been so self-controlled. Maybe I broke a record for not storming out already.

"How do you handle with all the media and public attention? I'm sure it's a pretty big change in your life."

I cleared my throat, preparing to start. "Yeah, it really is. I still try to get used to all this whole thing with photoshoots, videos, fashion shows... Meeting people that I used to see only on television - It's just unbelievable, kind of weird for me. And most of the time, people laugh when I say it but, this is pure madness!"

She kept nodding, making me question if she was even listening to my answers or she's relying on that recording thing. "It's understandable considering this is just the beginning of your carrier. How is it living by yourself, away from your family and friends from New York?"

"Well I have my crew with me, with whom I've grown fond to. All of them are always around with me and they are really supportive to me." a laugh escaped from me when I saw Alan thankfully bowing down smiling. "But there are times when I just want to leave everything and fly over to New York and just stay there pretending none of this is actually happening, but you know - gotta stay strong. My dad always says to me to man up. As weird as it sounds."

Something told me I shouldn't have said that. Noticing that I'm already feeling sad by just mentioning my family, I sighed and composed myself. "And of course I sometimes feel a bit sad because I miss my parents and brother-"

"Your brother does not live in the US, am I right?" Maddie interrupted me while scribbling something in her notebook.

"Yeah, he lives in London." I smiled brightly, glad that someone finally asks about my brother. Most of the reporters don't even care about my family, only thing that is important is rumors, rumors and more rumors. "He works as a photographer in a magazine."

"Is he your only sibling?"

"Y-yes. It's just m-me and Josh." I stuttered, nervously smiling as I felt my hands starting to sweat. "Only us two."
