Fame and Love

How it all began...

Hey Guys! So this is my first fan-fic. Bare with me here. I really hope you enjoythis book because I plan on making it into a series. Anyway, I don't usually write fan-fics as you might see in my creations. Action and fantasy is more of my cup of tea. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new series! Don't forget to vote! Love 'ya!

-----------------------------

I went up the stage with my three best friends. My hair was tied up into a messy ponytail. My big round glasses making my forest green eyes seem wider than they already were. I wore a grey striped V-neck and black skinny jeans with some black Doc Martens. Lia was the shy one in our group. She was nerdier than me, if that was possible. Isabelle was the daring one. With her combat boots and midnight black hair. Then there was Ciara. The girly girl of the group. She always told us to dress to impress. I was the friendly, outgoing one in my group. But I liked my casual and comfortable look. And I'm sure the other girls prefered their own style as well. We've known eachother since the first grade. As we went on stage I couldn't stop shaking. Isabelle nudged me, "Calm down." She whispered. I gave her a slight nod. Demi, Kelly, Paulina, and Simon all looked up at us. Simon raised an eyebrow.

"What are your names?" Simon asked. We all introduced ourselves. The judges nodded. "And what will you be singing today?" Demi asked. I took a deep breath before I answered, "'About the Boy' by Little Mix." I answered. The judges gave us strange looks, as if not believing we could sing it. Especially with that powerful high note. The one I was supposed to sing. "You sure? You don't want to sing anything else?" Simon asked. 

"No." I said firmly. They all nodded. We waited for the music began. Ciara had Leigh-Anne's parts. I had Perrie's part. Lia had Jade's part and Isabelle got Jessy's part. Lia started singing once the music started. After Lia was Isabelle. She had the perfect voice to pull off Jessy. We all had the perfect voice for each of our parts. That's why we loved Little Mix. Because we sounded most like them. After Isabelle, Ciara soon started. Back to Isabelle then Ciara. The cycle went on until it was the chorus. The high note was nearing too quickly. I tried to swallow the bile that rose.  After the chorus it was my part.

'It's the first time we met

The lightning to my thunder

The green light on red

The kiss that pulls me under

It's all in for me

If your the test, I got the answer

And I'm all that you need

Now you finally get the chance to...'

While singing I could hear the roars of applause and clapping. I looked up to see the judges looking at us in wonder. Simon gave me a strange look that I couldn't decipher. I smiled as I sang the chorus with my best friends. Ciara gave me an excited look. She winked and I noticed too late that my turn was coming again. I gulped.

'I know you like to take it slow

But I'm running out of ime

It's like I lost my self control 

'Cause you are the one

And you know what you've done

My poor heart's come undone

Baby please!' 

 During the high note I felt somebody pull at my hair tie, making it come undone. I heard the cheers and clapping become louder. I opened my eyes, not remembering closing them. The judges were clapping, looking at me in awe. Their eyes were close to being as wide as mine. Simon held up his hand after my high note. I gulped and turned around to see Isabelle with my hair tie. I grabbed them from her clutches. Narrowing my eyes at the Isabelle. I turned around when I heard somebody take a deep intake of breath. It came from Kelly.

"Wow. Y'all are just amazing," She then turned her gaze on me, "and your voice! So much power in that high note! Then your friends undo your ponytail and take your glasses away and I see this beautiful girl with the best voice I've ever heard!" Kelly finished. 

"What she said." Demi said. I chuckled and said a quiet 'thank you'. "All of you are amazing, and the way you harmonize and I can tell you guys are very close. The high note was beautiful! I got chills." Paulina complimented. I blushed and thanked her.  We looked at Simon. "The girls are right, you guys are amazing together and sound exactly like Little Mix. Okay time to vote. Kelly?" Simon asked. Our gazes shifted to Kelly. "I would be crazy to say no." She said with a grin. We grinned. "Demi?"

"Of course!" She squealed. Our grins broadened. Paulina said a yes and so did Simon. I screamed with joy and started jumping around with the girls. After the excitement we went backstage to be greeted by our family members. We all went home to celebrate and prepare for the journey ahead of us. But, as every band, we broke up. Right after the X-Factor, of course. Sadly, we lost. Second place wasn't too bad. After the X-Factor Belle and Lia decided to share some news on a girl's night.

       "What!" Ciara shrieked. "You can't just leave us! We're a band! Friends-For-Fucking-Ever! You can't just move!" Ciara rambled. She turned to me for support, but I was speechless. Out of all the girls, Isa and I were the closest. We knew each other better and for longer.

"Calm down, CiCi! We would have never made it as a band. We've auditioned for everything and we always lose! We can always stay in touch. Sure, Li is moving to New York, which is way farther than Cali." Isabelle tried to reason with Ciara. As they argued I stared into space. Lia. New York. Isa. California. I couldn't believe it. I was sucked out of my thoughts by screams and curse words.

       "THIS ISN'T FUCKING FAIR!" Ciara screamed. "Life Isn't fair, Ciara. Deal with it!  You don't have to act like a fuckin' brat everytime you don't get your fuckin' way! That's life for ya, CiCi. We're not all spoiled brats with fuckin' millionares—" I heard a slap. My head snapped to where Isabelle and Ciara was. I shot up from my seat towards their direction. Just when Isa was about to lunge I stepped in between them. My head moved to the side as Isabelle's knuckles made contact with my nose. A sickening 'crack!' was heard. Lia stood frozen. I heard someone gasp as I felt the blood trickle onto my lips. My hand reached up to my nose.

"Will you look at that? Things certainly took a turn for the worse." I chuckled. I tried my best to ignore the throbbing pain coming from my broken nose.

"I am so sorry! Fucking Ciara! Look what you made me do!" Isabelle shouted. As Ciara started snapping back I shouted, "Enough of this nonsense! We won't get anywhere if we keep arguing! I would really like it if you could stop talking for a moment and help me get to the ER. After the whole nose situation the girls had to leave. Ciara and Isabelle still wouldn't talk to each other. After they moved, Ciara and I tried to continue as a duo. It just wasn't the same. Ciara was soon consumed by popularity while I hung out alone in the library. We didn't talk anymore.Now, now I see it was the easiest way for her to get rid of me. I kept on going. I started a Youtube channel and everything. After a while I got noticed by Capitol Records. Just like that my journey began. Who knew the Italian-Mexican girl with six siblings would get noticed?
