I touched down in California and I rang my mom to ask her to pick me up. I got my luggage and found my mom, who was waiting for me, and we drove home. On the way there I explained everything that had happened. She understood.
We got back and I was greeted by my Dad and my two brothers, Sam and Joe.
I went into my room and thought about what I was now going to do with my life. Become a chef? Nah. A teacher? We know how that will turn out. I've always like singing and rapping so maybe I should start putting covers up on YouTube. And that's what I did.
I set up a camera and a microphone and I did the full song '23 - Mike Will Made-It ft. Miles Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J' I posted it straight on YouTube after making an account.
"IZZY, FOOD" I heard my mom shout. I ran downstairs and got my food. We all sat on the couch and watched South Park. When we finished I went upstairs to bed because I was slightly jet lagged.
I woke up and I had 2 texts:
From Johnson💙: 'hey Izzy, it's nice to hear from you. Gilinsky hasn't stopped crying since you two were in the principles office. Also he said it's not your fault for this. He wanted me to tell you that he still loves you too...like a lot. Also he got so mad he threw his phone at the wall and now it doesn't work so that's why he can't text you. Hopefully we can visit you soon. love you too izzy💙'
'Aw poor Jack' I thought to myself.
From Casey💘: 'IZZY I MISS YOU, IM SO LONELY WITHOUT YOU!!! It must feel so shit to have to of broken up with Jack. U 2 were so cute! Hope to see you soon xx love you 2 bubbles.❤️'
I was now crying after reading them. To try take my mind off of things I went to look at my YouTube video and over night it had gotten over 7,000 views...wtf. I had also received an email from someone. It was Scooter Braun. Like. The Scooter Braun. Who managed Justin Bieber and Tori Kelly. Oh my god. I opened the email and it read.

Dear Izzy,
I have just watched your cover on YouTube of '23' and I thought it was absolutely amazing. You're a great singer and rapper. I would like to see you at the studios tomorrow to discuss things with you.
See you soon.
Scooter Braun

Omg I can't wait for tomorrow. I ran downstairs and told my family and they were so happy. I decided not to tell Johnson or Casey yet because obviously things might not go right and that would be a let down. I sat down, thinking about tomorrow and I felt so excited. What if I actually became big.
