It was about 3:30 pm when I got home from the recording session. I thought I did pretty good. We did an acoustic cover too, 'Someone like you' Sung by Adele. My voice was much different than hers, I still think that this was a good choice of song for me. We ran over the song quite a few times, we also tried a couple segments of other songs, but the only song we finished was this one.

I went into the kitchen and grabbed some cough drops from the medicine cabinet, and got a glass of water. I walked back to the music room. I set my glass of water on the piano, and took one of the Chloraseptic throat lozenges to numb my sore throat.

I grabbed some sheet music that I had already out on the top of my piano, and started playing some songs from an orchestra song book I got a while ago from my parents.

My cell phone started ringing and repeatedly vibration in my back pocket. I did a dramatic cut-off too the song I was playing then looked at my phone. A number I didn't recognize was calling me, i answered the phone with a somewhat puzzled "hello?"

"Hello Jamie Cord, this is Cassandra Williams calling from the front desk of star studios. Im calling to inform you that the recording crew today edited you recording, and ssent it out to a few music producers around the area, and i have some pretty exciting news for you!" I kind of Squealed a bit, if she called me someone most likely like my demo!

"Oh my goodness, whats the news?"

"Well, Someone sent back a letter saying that they absolutely loved your cover, and they would like to offer you a contract! Would you like to know who that someone is!?"

"Yes!"

"Well, It's Carl Falk! He is a songwriter/producer that is interested in giving you a contract! He has written songs for one direction, such as 'One thing' 'What makes you beautiful' & 'Up all night'. He also co-wrote Niki Manaj's 'Starships' & Taio Cruises 'Trouble maker'. I'm just making sure that it's alright that I give him your personal contact information, so he can get a hold of you and set up dates and such for the two if you two discuss business?"

"Yes! Ofcoarse! Wow. DOes this happen often?"

The woman let out a little giggle, "No, Your very lucky. Have a good day and you can reach the studio desk at this number if you have any questions or concerns. Have a nice day!"

"Thank you so much. Bye." I hung up my phone, and screamed a happy scream. I even shed a tear of joy. This is actually happening. It's not a dream anymore.

My parents came running into my room. They obviously heard me scream.

"Is everything alright?!"

I got up and hugged both of them and started crying. "It's better than alright! You will not believe what just happened. Come sit."

I motioned them to sit on the little love seat in the corner of the room, and I pulled out my piano bench to face them. I smiled really huge, and started telling them what happened, "Mom, it isn't a dream anymore! This is real! I never thought this would happen to someone like me."

"What are you talking about Jamie?" My dad looked at me with one eybrow raised.

I leaned over, and gently took both their hands in mine. "Star studios called. They sent my demo out. Someone called back, and offered me a contract. He's going to contact me to set up dates and such to discuss everything! This could be huge for me!" I screeched a little again and we all shot out of our seats and had a big group hug.

"Honey, this is amazing!" We all broke out into happy tears, and just enjoyed it for a while.

~~~~

We were still sitting there chatting all my options, and everything that had just happened. I honestly couldn't even grasp this.

My phone started to ring again in my back pocket, I held up my index finger to my parents and took my phone out of my pocket. Another number I didn't recall ever seeing before.

"Hello?"

"Jamie Cord?"

"Yes... May I ask who's calling?"

"Oh, I apologize, this is Carl Falk. I'm calling to ask if you'd like to meet me tonight around 6 pm, just to discuss some things and explain the outline, and the contract I had in mind for you."

"Tonight?"

"Yes, if you haven't already made plans."

I turned to talk to my parents about going to meet with him tonight. "Sure, were are we meeting?"

"I was thinking the Starbucks on 37th."

"Absolutely! I'll see you there at 6."

"Alright, see ya."

I hung-up the phone and looked at my parents, "This is actually going so quickly, like I can't even..."

"We are so proud of you!" My mom told me. I hugged her once again and got up.

"I have to go tell Troy! Oh by the way we are together now..."

"Yeah, Troy told his folks, and they told us. We know sweetie. Go call him"

I winked at my parents and ran out the door, into my bedroom, and called Troy. Wow.

~~~

"That's amazing! Jamie we are so happy for you!" The phone was on speaker while I was telling Troy and his folks about everything.

"And the best part, is that tonight at 6 I'm going to meet with my songwriter/producer, to discuss what his plans are for me! I'm so excited!" I squealed a really high squeal.

"Jamie, that's in half an hour."

I checked the time and realized how late it was, "Shit, I have to go get ready. I'll text you, bye!"

"Bye!"

I went to my walk in closet, and chose a tight, light pink, strapless dress that went down to just about my knees. It was a pretty simple dress, the only accessory on it was a zipper on the back, but it was a beautiful dress.

My hair was already curled from earlier that day, but my makeup could use some fixing, I grabbed mascara, foundation, powder, and sparkly black eyeliner, and applied it quick quickly, but it still looked good.

I looked around my room for my car keys, and grabbed my purse. It was already 5:40, I had to be there in 20 minutes. I could make it.

I hugged my parents good bye and told them I was leaving.

I hopped in my car, pulled down the visor to look in the mirror, I fluffed my hair a little bit, then took a deep breath and started my car.

Tonight is gonna be good. I and believe this is happening.

I pulled out of the driveway and drove to the Starbucks, my stomach started to tremble, so nervous, so nervous... It's ok. Get it together Jamie, you can do this.

I spotted Karl, and walked over to him, I extended my hand for him to shake, he grabbed my hand and kissed it. "You look beautiful darling, Simon chose a good one." He sat down, and motioned me to sit down too. He smile a huge smile at me, "Now, lets talk business."
