Like Father, Like Daughter

Chapter 16: Number What?!

Janie's POV: Pretty much every social media page I own blew up the other day. I went from about 2000 Twitter followers to about 500k. I had to create a private Instagram page to communicate with my friends because my official one blew up with fans! I have 10 million YouTube subscribers now on my personal channel, not even counting my vevo channel, all because of "Hello". The whole album drops tomorrow, and I'm excited. I'm starting a U.S. tour next month, and hopefully I'll go worldwide. School's over by the start of the tour, so I don't have to worry. I'm gonna be a senior, and the tension mounds. Quick backstory, I skipped kindergarten and 1st grade. When I was taken to register and they tested me to see if I needed to be in a special needs class or not, they saw I was already doing multiplication and fractions. So I went straight to 2nd grade. That's why when I graduate next year, I'll be 16, the youngest in my grade. Back to the present now. The new April Billboard Top 100 comes out today, and I'm anxious to see if "Hello" made it on.

David's POV: I've secretly been listening to Janie's new single when she's not around. Her voice is beautiful, she got her looks from Iman and her voice from me. I grabbed the newspaper and sat down on the couch. I wasn't reading more than a few seconds when Janie dove over the back of the couch. "I'll take that thank you!" She said as she snatched the paper out of my hands. I just laughed.

Janie's POV: Dad stood up and mom walked into the room. I flipped through and finally found the top 100. "Fingers crossed." I said. I started at 100 and worked my way up. No sign of it. "If you're not in yet Janie it's ok, you'll get there eventually. The single just came out you know." Mom said. "Yeah, it took me years to get my first #1 hit." Dad said. I was silent as I scanned the list. Top 10. I was losing hope, when all of a second, "Number one!" I yelled as I jumped up and down. "What?!" Both of my parents yelled at the same time. I showed them. "Holy shit my daughter's selling more singles than I did when I started out." My dad said with a concerned-like look on his face. "And she's only 15." Mom said. "Almost 16." I chimed in. We all laughed. They both hugged me. "Just don't let this interfere with your schoolwork." Dad said. I chuckled. "I won't." I replied. Now, it's my turn. Janie Bowie is here to stay...
