Behind What The Eye Can See

The Great News

UNIQUE

" Mom! Mom! Mommy I did it. They signed me! " I said running into the house with the mail in my hand. I was ecstatic.

" Congrats baby. " She said in that small soft spoken voice she has. You see my mom is sick with cancer has been for a long time.

" I-I could stay here if you want me to mama. I mean- "

" No baby. Follow your dreams. You've had your heart set on this for the longest time now. Don't stop your dream for me. But I want you to remember one thing. "

" What is it mama. "

" Remember where you came from. Remember the people who have been there since day one. Remember God and the church. Keep them first. Don't forget them most important things. Ok? "

Tears streamed down my face. " Yes ma'am. " I hated to see my mama in the state of health. Matter of fact it killed me.

" I love you. "

" I love you too mama. " She grabbed my hand and smiled at me.

" Now go chase your dreams. "

I went upstairs and started to pack my clothes up. I was gonna miss this room a lot but I'm starting my dreams. It couldn't be better than this.

............................................

" Ok make sure she takes this at this time and those at that time. And- "

" Unique I have it under control I promise. " my best friend Margarita reassured me.

" Just take care of her please. " I said in a almost whisper like form. My voice was no longer with me from all the tears I cried thinking about my mama and how I'm leaving her.

" I will I promise. "

She gave me one last hug as I walked out. I turned around and took one last look at the house I've called home for years that I was leaving for a whole different environment. As my limo driver drove off I looked back trying to keep the house in my sight for as long as possible. A couple tears shed from my eyes as I saw my little brother and my best friend turning into tiny dots as I drove farther and farther away from the house.

As I closed one chapter another one began in my life and I can't wait to see what's written in it. I plugged in my ear buds and hit the play button on my playlist and closed my eyes.

..........................................

I was boarding the plane my body soon began to get nervous jitters. Am I ready for the life of fame? Was I ready to live a life I thought was made for me?

I sat in my chair after putting my luggage away and once again plugged my ear buds in blocking out the rest of the world. I finally arrived in LA and looked for the cab with my name. I spotted it and walked to it.

" Hi I'm Unique Williams. "

" Ashley Harris. Hop in sugar foot. "

I chuckled at the nickname but obeyed as told. I put my stuff in the trunk and hopped in.

" So tell me about yourself. " Ashley insisted.

" Well I'm 19. I lived in Virginia. I am Puerto Rican and African American. My dad is from Puerto Rico and my mom from America. "

" Well where is your dad? If you don't mind me asking. "

" Umm well he left us when he found out my mom had cancer a couple years ago. "

" I'm sorry to hear that. "

" Um no its fine. Well tell me about you. "

" Well I'm 23. I've always lived here in LA and never left. I wish I could but the job I have won't let me. Anyway I'm here to be your assistant, your costume helper, etc. Anything you need I'm hear for. " She handed me a new phone. Matter fact it was an IPhone 5s. " My number is on speed dial just hit number one. " I nodded my head understandingly.

We arrived at the studio and walked in.

" Unique Williams for Mr. Davis. " Ashley said.

" Go on in. "

We walked in to see Mr. Davis sitting there.

" Mr. Davis I'm back. " Ashley called.

" Ahh great. You must be Unique. My oh my your beautiful. "

I blushed. " Thank you sir. "

" Please call me Michael. Lemme hear a song. Go ahead in the recording booth. "

I walked in and placed the head phones on my head.

I opened my eyes and they both had shocked faces.

" I've never heard a person with so much talent at the age of 19. " He said still shocked.

" Thank you " I said.

After talking with them for an hour or two I finally got to the place they bought for me to live in. It was huge.

I called my mom and we talked for a little bit and by the time we finished it was late so I changed into some pjs and hoped into bed.
