*Author's POV*

Camila slept peacefully for the first time in years. Ever since Alejandro made her life miserable ever since she left Miami and why did she leave you ask? Why did she not contact again you might wonder?

It was all behind her father's plan. Alejandro and Mike worked in the same business which was property development but Alejandro was always shrewd and tried to push Mike down. When one day he lost an important contract to Mike that pushed his limits so they moved away from that family. And he threatened his family about ever contacting the jauregui's ever again.

She did try to contact Lauren through her old e-mail. But I guess it never went pass the drafts. She did not know where to start. An apology? A warm hello? An emoji?

Ever since she moved away from Miami Camila was just never the same. She left a piece of her heart forever within Lauren's embrace and that piece would never be replaced again. Her smiles turned into frowns. She never laughed. She was always played around like a puppet for her demanding father. It's always what he wanted but he never asked what she wanted.

He wants her to study medicine but does he know she has been taking musical classes behind his back? He never noticed the paintings in her room. He never noticed that guitar in the corner. He Does not even remember her birthday.

Sinu always told Mila "I have no idea what changed him. Trust me he wasn't like this before he left Miami. Camila your father is a good man don't you forget that." Sinu was Always there for Both Camila and Sofi.

She was always there to support an guide them through trials and tribulations 😉. Sinu wiped her tears and hugged her saying "Mila don't cry mama loves you sofi loves you." Camila always made sure that sofi never grew up in the way Camila ever did. She vouches for sofi for her small mistakes. And gets the hits from her dad.

His words cuts deeper then the pain.  "YOU ARE PATHETIC!! WORTHLESS!!! I NEEDED A SON!!! AND ALL I GOT IS A FREAK!!" She tried everything to make her Happy. She's even planning to go for medicine but she knows that's not what her heart wants....but she'll do anything to see that smile of her Dad which is mere memory now.

*Camila's POV*

*Knock on the door* 
"Miss Cabello you know what happens when you're late. Master will be furious. You have piano classes at 7, Miss Lovato will be here soon so please get up" one of the maids said from outside.

I sighed and dragged myself off the bed. I realised that I was still holding the old album. I smiled to myself and kept it underneath the bed back where it belongs. I ran off to take a shower. After taking a quick shower I put on a short dress and blow dried my hair.

I put on a bow on the top of my head. I looked at my reflection and smiled at myself "Here we go!" I walked out the door and the emptiness of the house never surprised me. I'm used to it ever since I was 10.  Why build a mansion to live in when your family is broken?

I sighed walking to my music room. Miss Lovato was already playing a melody. I knocked but she was too immersed in the melody that she couldn't hear it. So I let myself in. I recognized the melody. "für elise composed by Beethoven in 1810" I said out loud when she touched the last note.

"Congratulations Mila! You were always my favorite student. Hey between you and me? Sofi is tone deaf" she giggled. "Oh that's what I've been saying my entire life! Now she wants to join x factor! Ever since she saw this girl band perform. I think Lylas was the name" I joined into the joke.

Piano and art are the only 2 classes I wait for. My dad thinks it's a waste of time. But thanks to my mom's persuasion I get to keep the classes.

"Okay! Let's get down to business! Let's play this new melody it's called Turkish March." Demi said changing the sheet music.

*1 hour later*

"This is brilliant Camila! You just finished the entire melody! Tell me again why you don't want to take music up as a profession?" I smiled sadly "My dad thinks it's a waste of time. But this is what I want. Why can't he understand? He never came to my piano competition or my programmes he never even watched me play." I said looking down at the keys of the piano.

When I start playing I get carried into another world a different dimension! With endless possibilities! I feel like a free bird who has been caged for far too long. Suddenly all my sadness melts away into a pool of bliss. Suddenly i feel like I'm home.

Demi sighed softly. "I guess that's the end of our lesson... god bless you Camila you are one strong girl" she send gently patting me on the shoulders before leaving. I watched her close the door. Leaving me all alone with this sinful sadness "I HATE MY LIFE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

But it just echoed aimlessly around the room. I banged my fists on the piano keys. I stared out  the window hoping that this nightmare would end someday.
