The songs mentioned and used in this chapter are not mine. I give all credit to the performers and owners.

‘And we’re back with Tori Carter. Ok so in an interview in Australia you announced your anti-bullying campaign. When can we expect more information about it?’ Ellen asked me.

‘Together We Will Shine is the name of the campaign and it’s going to show young adults that there not alone. That there will be someone to listen to you, if any bullying is going on in you’re life. But mainly to show kids that bullying is not ok. What’s going to happen is my newest album 70% of the money made off it is going to be used to help promote awareness. I have a few people guest starring on the album, which I’m really excited about.’ I smiled.

‘It’s hard to believe that you are only 17. Are you sure you’re not lying to us about your age?’ Ellen laughed.

‘No I’m not lying. I just hate to see people bullying each other. We all share this planet so why can’t we just get along.’ I said.

‘So the song that your going to perform for us, is that going to be on the album?’ Ellen asked me.

‘Yeah. To me this song relates to what a lot of young people go through at some point in their life. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the album.’ I smiled.

‘So are there any songs in particular that are a favorite of yours.’ Ellen asked again.

‘Well I love all the songs, and I guess if I had to pick a few I would say Bless Myself, Step Up and Never Be The Same.’

‘Ok so your going to perform Never Be The Same for us after the commercial.’ Ellen said. I smiled nodding towards the camera.

‘Tori get in position.’ Someone called me over. Ellen and I walked over to the mini stage.

‘It’s amazing what your doing. Your parents would be so proud of you.’ Ellen smiled pulling me into a hug.

‘Thank you.’ I gave her a small smile.

‘Here she is everyone. Singing her brand new single, Never Be The Same. Tori Carter.’

I took in a breath as the music started playing.

Let me tell you about a girl that I used to be,
Same name same face but a different me,
She didn't know what she was thinking,
Didn't know her world was sinking,
Had her dreams written on a paper in her hand,
Held on tight but she didn't understand,
The love and heart that she's replacing,
All the past that she's erasing,
We all get lost sometimes and we forget who we are and we forget who we are

Somewhere along the way, we're all running in a crazy race,
Never thinking about the hearts we break,
And as our hope starts fading away things are never gonna be the same,
'Cause when you're standing there all alone,
Losing everything you've ever known,
You're staring at a different face things are never gonna be the same,

I wish that I could share a different point of view,
But the words coming out wouldn't speak the truth,
You wouldn't know what I was really thinking,
And I'd return to the girl, who's sinking,
Sinking down to the world that waits below,
And I don't want to be there anymore,
Don't wanna be there anymore,
And we all get lost sometimes and we forget who we are and we forget who we are

Somewhere along the way, we're all running in a crazy race,
Never thinking about the hearts we break,
And as our hope starts fading away things are never gonna be the same,
'Cause when you're standing there all alone,
Losing everything you've ever known,
You're staring at a different face things are never gonna be the same,

The more you win, the more you want,
It never ends, it never stops,
Oh it's never enough,
Oh, the more you win, the more you want,
It never ends, it never stops,
Oh it's never enough,

We're all running in a crazy race,
Never thinking about the hearts we break,
And as our hope starts fading away things are never gonna be the same,
'Cause when you're standing there all alone,
Losing everything you've ever known,
You're staring at a different face things are never gonna be the same,
Things are never gonna be the same,
Things are never gonna be the same,
When you're standing there all alone,
Losing everything you've ever known,
You're staring at a different face things are never gonna be the same,
Things are never gonna be the same,
Never gonna be the same.

The crowd started applauding.

‘Tori’s self-titled album Tori is out June 30th. Up next we have Ashton Kutcher.’ Ellen smiled as they went to commercial break.

The song used is Never Be The Same by Jessica Mauboy.

So in the chapters coming up some familiar faces will be coming up. Not sure about the reactions to them though ;)
