Life Before Fame

"Thank you all for coming out! I love you so much and don't forget to stop by Freddy's Big Belly Burgers for the after party!" I yelled in the microphone, breathing heavily as the stadium rumbled with screaming and chanting. I bowed and waved to as many people as I could.

I took my hair out of the ponytail and shook it, wincing as I pulled on my scalp. "Oh. My. God! You did amazing up there! But you couldn't have done it without my help." My manager gloated and I smiled slightly at her. She patted my head, "As of tonight, you are the biggest pop start in North America!" She squealed and hugged me. "Party time!" She yelled and I sighed, following her.

Ever since I could remember, this has been my dream. I prayed every night that one day I could make it big in this world. Singing's been a passion of mine since I was eight. I would never be here without my family and friends.

Well, old friends.

"Hey babe." Austin said, kissing me on the cheek.

"Hey." I replied and started wiping my make up off. He grabbed my hand, frowning at me.

"Why are you taking that off? We have a party to attend to and I can't have you looking like a homeless wreck." He picked at my hair and I slapped down the wash cloth, putting my hands on my hips to face him.

"A homeless wreck? I wouldn't be talking if I were you, Austin, because if I can remember correctly you were the homeless wreck. I'd suggest you let me do what I want because I made you and I can ruin you." He glared at me and I glared back, daring him to make a wrong move.

"You have twenty minutes." He mumbled and left. I let out a breath I was holding and fell down in the chair, putting my hand on my head.

Luckily he didn't catch my bluff, yes I could easily destroy him but I'm not that cold and heartless, even though that's what my reputation is. The go-lucky diva that gets everything she wants. None of the things I got were what I want; I didn't want to be a snobby, rich brat that repulses everyone even if I'm the biggest pop star. I wanted to go to charity events, raise money for kids at home and my family, but my management was heartless enough to make my family feel low and leave me by myself. I wish I could rewind to five years ago, when I was seventeen and still innocent, just playing with an unknown band that me and my friends created.

Ariel, my designer, stepped in the room and held up a black sparkling outfit. The top reached above my belly button and the skirt reached up to it to make it look like a dress. "Amanda wants you to wear this. She says she has a special guest for you and Austin." I mentally gagged at the sound of his name.

"Alright, I'll be out in a few. Tell Amanda to get the car ready." I waved at her and she gave me a worried glance, probably afraid I'll explode on her.

"Actually, she wanted you to take the limo, it gives you more exposure." I just nodded and locked the door behind her.

"Of course I need more 'exposure' because being the biggest pop star isn't enough." I mumbled to myself as I put on the clothes and black heels. I pulled my hair to the side and started making expressions in the mirror.
