Beyond the Fame

Masterpiece by NONI

I woke up in white sheets and uncomfortable pillows, a feeling I have come way to familiar with since the little sleep I get is in a hotel room. I sighed and got up rubbing my face, trudging to the hotel bathroom. I splashed some cold water on to my face, and pat it dry. I took a deep breath and looked in the mirror. 'I need to do this'

"NOMI! You better be up!" I sighed, walking out of the bathroom to see my mother already in a black pantsuit ready for the day typing away on her phone. "There you are. Hurry we have limited time, we have to get you Cinna. Here throw this on, don't worry we'll make sure no one sees this." she said gesturing towards my appearance.  You mean the ugly me?

I threw on the hoodie and sweats with no question and my slippers,after grabbing my phone. "Alright let's go, and put your hood up." I did as told following behind her out of the hotel. I walked behind my bodyguards through the back of the hotel and into a car. No cameras, no screaming.

I looked out the window to see a grey gloomy sky. I was in a daze until I felt my phone vibrate.

Unknown:

Hey it's Justin ;)

I smiled at the simple text,

Me:

Hey, wassup.. :)

I pressed send before I was ushered out of the car and into a building. "Um, can I get a coffee please?" I asked my mother's assistant.

"Ofcourse ma'am." She nodded before walking away.

"Nomi, let's get you in to this, we need to make sure it fits." Cinna said ushering me over to raised platform.

Justin <3

We should hang tonight, after award show.

Hang out? Well if it gets me away from all this...

Me:

I'm down for that Bieber :)

Justin <3:

Glad to hear it, Clark ;)

I smiled down at his response, and a couldn't help but feel a small tingle in my stomach. It didn't last long as it was replaced with a brief pain. "Ow."

"Sorry hun, but you have to keep still." I rolled my eyes as they continued to adjust, fix, and safety pin parts of my outfit for tonight. I stood there uncomfortably, since most of the time I was topless with a small thong on my body. And whenever I got the chance I would cover my chest with my arms.

After a grueling 2 hours, they finished and rushed me over to hair and makeup. I scrolled through my instagram as they worked on my hair for tonight. Just the normal tweets until a scrolled passed a news article reading it aloud, "Will Nomi Clark have the most awards this year as a female at the Billboard award show tonight, or will she not be as successful as we all predict?" I looked at my mother awaiting her response.

"Oh please Nomi, ofcourse you're getting all the awards your nominated for. Those bloody reporters don't know anything. We're the best, and we are gonna win." I gave a slight nod before returning back to my phone.

When they were done with my hair and makeup, I had some time to kill before putting on my outfit and heading to the carpet, and frankly I was starving. I walked over to the small table of food and picked up a handful of grape and a bag of Takis, my favorite. I happily sighed as I finished my grapes quickly opened the bag of chips. I was about to eat one when-
