"Hey everybody! It's Margot, and today I'm going to be doing a cover of Ed Sheeran's song "Happier." I hope you guys like it!"
I played the beginning chord on my piano, automatically feeling so comfortable then and there. Something about music just makes me feel like I'm at home.
Makes sense, I guess. My father is Henry Franklin, the CEO of Franklin Records, which is kind of a huge deal. There are tons of popular artists on that label right now, example Alessia Cara, James Arthur, Zara Larsson.
Need I say more?
Running such a huge company is pretty amazing for my dad, but it also means he's like, never around. Which is why my dad lives in LA and I live in Albuquerque.
Albuquerque.
When I could be pursuing music in LA.
It's my mother. My parents divorced when I was 11, and are definitely not on good terms at all. Mom thinks it's not safe for me to live with Dad because he's too consumed with work, and LA is a relatively dangerous place for a 17 year old girl.
Which is ridiculously stupid.
But, apparently the judge agreed with her, which is why she has full custody and I live in Albuquerque.
Don't get me wrong, I love my mom. But, LA would be huge for me. These YouTube videos I post every Thursday would finally pay off. I could be a real artist.
I guess I am a little YouTube famous. I do have a million subscribers and a silver and golden play button, if that counts for everything. But I'm simply not content with YouTube videos being the extent of my music career.
"Walking down 29th and Park
I saw you in another's arms
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier
Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new
'Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you
Sat on the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody need you like I do
I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darling, I am still in love with you
But I guess you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'd feel it too
I could try to smile to hide the truth
I know I was happier with you

the fall • s.m.
Fanfic"Falling for you is dangerous. I can't control my own emotions, my own movements when I'm with you. If I fall in love, you know what will happen next between us. The fall," I said. There was silence between us for a few moments, and my heart pounded...
