Before The Fame-

*Dream*

I'm crying. Stacy just humiliated me in front of the entire school. I walk through my front door to see Shawn Mendes, my brother, sitting on the couch watching TV and my parents fighting. Again.

Shawn looks at me, "Sky, what happened? Are you okay?"

"Stacy-she-" I'm choking on my words from crying so much.

"Hey, calm down. Let's go upstairs since Mom and Dad are fighting again." Mom and Dad have been fighting a lot lately. I don't know why either.

I jump on Shawn's back for a piggy-back ride and we go into my room. He sets me down on my bed with him sitting next to me.

"Okay, now what happened?"

"Stacy, the bitch, stole my boyfriend from me. And then she humiliated me in front of the whole school."

"Are you okay?"

"I guess. I'm gonna ask Natalie to come over. Is that okay?"

"Yeah. I'll go make some vines. Feel better." Shawn walks out of the room and I grab my iPhone 5S to text Natalie:

To Natalie💖: Hey, I'm guessing you know what happened at school. Can you come over?

She replies almost immediately:

Natalie💖: Of course. Be there soon giirrl😍

To Natalie💖: Just come in the back door. Parents fighting again.

Natalie💖: Kay

*Dream Ended*

I wake up crying and seeing Natalie looking at me, "Are you okay Skylar?"

"Yeah. It's just Shawn again."

"He called me a little bit ago. I told him you were still asleep. But he's home. Right now. And your dad is out of the house."

"My dad is just probably drunk at some bar. Not like Shawn would know that." I roll my eyes.

"Yeah. I know Sky. It hurts."

"Alright, well I better get over there before he leaves again. Can you do my makeup first? Well, cover up my bruise on my face?"

"Yeah."

In about 5 minutes Natalie was done doing my makeup. She covered up my bruise and did my actual makeup with a smokey eye. She says it complements my rare, long eyelashes and green-blue eyes.

"You're so lucky Skylar."

"How? I hate the life I have!" I snap at Natalie.

"Stop talking like that, you can make your life better. You have an absolutely, amazing voice, you're beautiful, and you're so confident about everything. You can make your life better if you just try."

"Yeah. I guess. Thanks."

I walk out of her room and see Mr. and Mrs. Fields (Natalie's parents) in the dining room. "Bye Mr. and Mrs. Fields. I'm gonna get going. See you later."

"Come back any time darling." Mrs. Fields insists. They both know about how my dad abuses me. I somehow convinced them not to tell a soul.

I decide to text Shawn and let him know I was on my way:

Shawn😘: Hey, be at the house soon. Just coming back from Natalie's.

I never bothered to change Shawn's contact name. It's been like that ever since he left. I never got around to changing it. Not like I ever texted him anyways.
