Live, Love, Laugh And Forget (Being Usher's Niece Sequel)

Soon To Be Legend

“Hi honey, I miss you so much. It’s so hard to go through the everyday routine without you, without seeing you. Usher called me and told me what happened. I’m so sorry honey, I regret so much with letting you go there alone, I mean have no clue what I was thinking sending you there with no friends and barley any family. I miss you so much, and I hope you miss me too. The studio is almost cleaned out completely it should only be a couple more weeks before we are finally together again, and after that I promise I will never leave you again. You’re a strong girl Nicole and I know you can make it past this problem in your life right now, it’s just I minor speed bump, it’s hard to make it up but going back down is the easiest part. I love you so much. See you soon. Love – mom.”

Tears started streaming down my face when I read the email on my phone. I slid down the door of the women’s bathroom.

I took a deep breath.

“Ugh, get it together Nicole.” I whispered to myself. I whipped off the tears that were leaking out of my eyes and down my face.

I quickly stood up and walked in front of the mirror. I scrambled to open my purse and pull out my mascara. I redid my mascara and eyeliner.  

I stared at myself in the mirror.

What am I doing? I keep pushing away the people I love, the people who love me. This is not who I am.

“Hi.” A voice came from behind me. I jumped in startlement. I whipped my body around to face the voice.

“Hi?” I said not recognizing the face. She had dark brown long hair; she had bangs that fell just above her eyes. She was about 5’6 with pale skin.

“Oh sorry, my name is Carly. Carly Rae Jepsen.”  She said holding out her hand.

I hesitantly shook it back. “Nicole.” I told me.

She smiled big at me. “I know.”

My eyebrows furrowed at her. I was confused, how’d she already know me?

She caught onto my confusion. “Oh, sorry you’re probably really confused. I’m doing a song with Justin. He talks about you a lot.” She gushed to me.

“Oh.”

“Yeah, I heard you crying, are you ok?” she asked, her face turned to sympathy.

“Uh, yeah, yeah I’m fine I just, uh stubbed my toe on the door. I’m kind of a cluts.” I lied.

She looked at me with disbelief. “Hm.” She said obviously not buying what I just told her.

“Well whatever it is, I want you to know that everything will work its self out, nothing stays forever, good or bad.” She told me with a small smile.

I smiled at her back. “Thanks.”

“No problem, now if you will excuse me I must get back to the studio.” she said with a smile followed by a little wave of the hand.

I turned back to the mirror when she was gone.

Maybe it was time to forgive, but maybe it wasn’t, either way I was missing Justin and my friends like crazy.

I sighed before walking out of the bathroom and down the hall. I was about to enter the studio when I saw a picture hanging on the wall that caught my eye.

I admired it with a smile. It was Justin and usher, back when Justin sang for usher for the first time. Justin had his hand up, giving the peace sign. Below the picture was some writing.

Soon to be legend. – L.A Reid

“Wow.” I murmured.

I shook my head thinking back to all of the things that Justin has accomplished in his short life time. He will be a legend one day, I know it.
