Composure {Brandon Arreaga (PRETTYMUCH)}

"Welcome the Gomez Sisters!"

At 6:00 AM my alarm went off. Usually I would groan but this morning I leapt out of bed. The last thing I had to pack was my bed sheets so I quickly folded them up and put them into a box beside my bed. I brushed my teeth before putting my toothbrush back into a box. I took a quick shower and put on my champion hoodie and black leggings, an outfit I had picked out the previous night. I grabbed my white slip on vans and slipped them on. I let my hair air dry, leaving it down and I didn't bother putting on my contacts. We were leaving all of our furniture here because the apartment came already furnished. Isabella and I were allowed to pack four suitcases each and a couple of carryons. We both would be taking two on the flight while our parents got the other two. We each had one carryon of necessities. Anything else we needed would be shipped to us by our parents later on in the week. Once we were all ready we jumped into the car and headed for the airport. We grabbed food on the way and quickly got on our flight. I read my favorite book for a bit before drifting off to sleep. About 3 hours later we arrived at LAX. We gathered our things quickly before heading to the apartment VIA uber. When we stepped inside it was the most beautiful apartment I had ever seen. The living room was furnished perfectly for Isabella and I. It was breathtaking. I truly loved it. We quickly began settling in. About 3 hours later we finished what we needed to do. It was still noon in LA, because LA is two hours behind Cedar Park. My parents stood by our door and we stood beside them. My mom of course had tears in her eyes.
"Okay this is it." she says quietly.
"You guys have been working so hard, and we are so proud of y'all. You guys deserve this, we love you." my dad said proudly.
Isabella and I both started tearing up as we hugged our parents. We stayed there for a little while before my mom pulls away wiping a tear.
"Okay we better get back, we love you both"
"We love you too mom," i say grabbing her hand. We all say our goodbyes before my parents head out the door. Isabella closes the door behind them and sighs.
"So this is it Gizzy, what do we do now?" she asks looking at me still holding onto the door handle.
I make a face like i'm thinking but then quickly grab my purse.
"We have a lot of time to kill, let's go shopping!" I say excitedly. Isabella smiles before grabbing her bag. We decide to walk to the stores because the traffic is too busy to try and uber anywhere.
We check out a couple of shops both picking out a few things unique to our style.
"I love LA, we could never dress how we wanted back home without getting judged." I say while holding a cute graphic tee up to my body.
Isabella puts on a pair of cute sunglasses and grabs a pair of overalls off the rack.
"Honey we were made for this life," she says in a funny accent before throwing the overalls over her shoulder and turning around.
We were both looking at jumpsuits when I feel a little tap on my shoulder. I stand upright quickly and look behind me at a group of pretty young looking girls, around 15-16 maybe.
The one in the front is the first to speak up quietly. She asks "are you Gabriella and Isabella Gomez?"
Isabella looks up and I smile.
"Why yes we are" I respond with a smile.
All the girls eyes light up and they begin to squeal.
"Oh. My. God." one of the girls says.
"I love you both so much!" another says.
I giggle slightly before saying "We love you too!"
the girls squeal again.
"Can we get a couple of pictures?" the girl in the front asks.
"Of course!" Isabella says.
We take pictures for about 5 minutes before we say our goodbyes. The girls leave the store all giggling and chatting amongst themselves.
"I can definitely get used to that Izzy," i say with a big smile.
"So I guess that means we made it little sis," Isabella says before we both start cracking up. We quickly checkout before heading back to the apartment. It was already 7 and we were both starving. Too bad we didn't have food yet.
"I'm just going to order postmates. Sound good?" Isabella asks picking up her phone. I nod in response turning on the TV.
Soon enough it was 11. We were both exhausted considering we were still on Texas time. We say our good nights before heading off to our rooms. I was barely drifting off to sleep when I hear a baby knock on my door. I look up to see Isabella peeking her head in.
"Can i stay here tonight Gizzy?" she asks in a baby voice.
I scoot over so she has enough room to lay with me. We both lay down side by side.
"So this is our first official night on our own." I say sighing. Isabella sighs and I can see her nod out of the corner of my eye. She grabs my hand and gives it a squeeze before we both drift off to sleep.

It has been a week since we moved in and we were catching onto things pretty quickly.
It was 9 AM and I had just gotten out of the shower while Isabella was cooking breakfast while jamming out to spotify. I quickly put on a comfy outfit before heading to the kitchen and sit at the table. Right as I sit down my phone begins to ring from my bedroom. I bolt up quickly running to retrieve my phone before I miss the call. The number is unrecognizable, but it shows the caller is from New York. I answer hesitantly.
"Hi is this Gabriella Gomez from the Gomez sisters?" I hear coming through the phone.
Yes, this is me," I respond biting my nails walking to the kitchen. Isabella looks at my curiously and I just shrug.
"Hi Gabriella! I'm Casey I work for TRL here in times square!" I look up shocked. Casey continues.
"Now i'm not too sure if you've been seeing the requests but the fans have demanded it and we are trying to see if you and your sister would like to come be a feature artist on TRL?" she finishes waiting for my response.
I don't even wait to ask Bella before I answer excitedly.
"Yes we would love to do that!" I respond with a smile.
"Awesome! Now the show will be in two days, we will introduce you guys and a couple of other guests we have, we'll ask some questions, you'll answer some fan questions, we'll play a few games and then you guys can perform up to 3 songs. How does that sound?" she asks.
"It sounds awesome! Thank you so much and see you in two days!" I finish before hanging up. I quickly fill Isabella in before running to my room to pack before we head off to NY.

—————————————————————-

The next two days fly by quickly and before I know it we are waiting to be introduced on TRL.
We hear "Now these next guests are two girls who are extremely talented. They can dance, they can sing, they have great personalities, and they are both extremely beautiful" I blush at the hosts comments. "Did i mention, that they're sisters?" The host finishes. The crowd cheers loudly. "Please welcome, The Gomez Sisters!" the host yells before me and Isabella run onto stage the cheers from the crowd only getting louder. I hug both hosts before taking a seat next to Bella, and the crowd quiets down.
"Welcome welcome, you two. We are so glad to have you here" the host says with a smile.
"And we are so happy to be here!" I respond back with a big smile.
"We'll get to the questions soon, but first I have to introduce our next guests." the host says to us.
"Now these people are some talented kids! Just like Gabby and Bella they can sing and dance! They are taking the world by storm, please welcome PRETTYMUCH"
