Chapter 1

Anne drew's POV

"Here we go." I said to my brother as i adjusted the camera. "Are you ready?"

"Yep. Turn it on" he ordered. I turned the video camera on then stood at my position.

"Hi, this is Anne drew" i introduced myself "and that's my brother Justin" i said pointing at my brother who is happily waving at the cam. "And we're going to make a cover of When You Say Nothing At All." after doing my little speech, my brother started strumming the few chords of the intro then i began singing...

[me]

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart

Without saying a word you can light up the dark

[justin]

Try as I may I can never explain

What I hear when you don't say a thing

[us]

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best, when you say nothing at all

[justin]

All day long I can hear people talking out loud (oh?)

But when you hold me near (oh, hold me near)

You drown out the crowd (drown out crowd)            

[me]

Try as they may, they can never defy

What's been said between your heart and mine

[us]

CHORUUUUUUUS.

After the song we bid goodbye then turned off the camera. "Time to upload it!" Justin cheered. I'm Anne drew Phyllis, 16 and single. I know, my name's kinda for a guy. That's why my mom changed the spelling! She said that i was born at "St. Andrew Day" she liked to call it. That's my oh so loving brother Justin Phyllis. We were formerly from Wolverhampton, but moved to London when i was 4, i think. And our parents died 5 years ago, in a car crash. So it's only my brother and i. I go to Uni, he goes to the same Uni. So as to pass the time, we upload covers on YouTube. And we've got 14 covers right now. "It's done!" Justin announced after a while.

"Now we just got to wait." i said, stretching my arms up then laying on the floor of our studio. Just to clear something up, this isn't a real studio. This is just an empty room at the basement of our grandmother’s house that we turned into a semi-studio, so we could record stuff here. Justin and i love singing. "Jus." i called.

"Hmm?"

"I'm hungry"

"ANNE DREW! JUSTIN! IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH!" i heard our grandma call.

"WE'RE COMING!" Justin shouted back.

"what time is it?" i sang

"It's time for lunch!" he sang with me. Just like in Bubble Guppies. We're always like this when it's time for lunch. He walked towards me and crouched down. "Who wants a piggy back ride!" i laughed at him but hopped on his back anyway. He ran upstairs to the dining room. "We're here gran!"

"Oh, put her down." she scolded, but in a calm voice. Justin set me down and we both sat on the chairs and started eating. "So how was school, dear?" she asked us. We live with our grandmother here in London. That’s why we moved here. So she has company. When you look at her, her physical appearance may look old but she is still child at heart. And she looks like our mother too. She takes care of us and in return we take care of her too.

"It's fine gran, just one more month to go and i'm going to graduate!" Justin cheered.

"Is it already dear?" grannie asked in shock and giggled a little. "I'm so proud of you. How about you Anne?"

"Uhm.. examinations just finished last week so... I'm just waiting for the results."

"Are there any boys that you're dating?"

Justin stopped eating and looked at me, grannie was smiling teasingly at me, while, i, on the other hand almost choked on my food. "Grannie! Of course, there's none!"

"Good. Well if there is i'm gonna rip his throat out." Justin threatened.

"Don't be so overprotective to your sister. She might not get a boyfriend." Grannie teased.

"I'm just joking!" he defended.

"Since you're joking, might as well wash the dishes." Grannie told him and she winked at me. I stood up and hugged her "thanks grannie" then kissed her head. I headed to the living room to watch some tv. I flipped through channels til i stopped at a channel i want. One Direction was on singing their new release, Best Song Ever. "Hey, Justin!" i called him from the living room.

"Yeah?"

"Let's make a cover! Best Song Ever! A new release of some boy band!" i yelled. Justin didn't answered. A moment later he appeared in the living room and sat beside me. "Let's make a cover." i suggested.

"How many views on YouTube?" he asked.

"Dunno. Go get the laptop."

He stood up and got the laptop from the basement. "Okay... They've got over a million views. Alright. Let's make a cover next week"

"wait, how many views on ours?"

"Hmmm... 104,000"

"Oooh. That's too low. Maybe we should cover recent songs. You think?" i asked. Cause the last cover we made hit half a million. Suddenly my phone rang. And i didn't knew, that phone call would change our lives... FOREVER.
