Friday

I had to wake up at five in the morning to drive to Hickory, where we were filming my music video, with my mom and Everett.

I was feeling a mix of emotions.

Excited, nervous, anxious, happy.

The house we were filming in was absolutely gorgeous, it was an older somewhat of a colonial style house.

I was immediately placed in hair and makeup. Ev and my mom kept me entertained and awake with jokes and advice.

Pala gave me the full rundown on everything and how this day was going to go.

I was excited. This wasn't a small music video being filmed on someone's phone or cheap camera.

The thought that in a few weeks the whole world would be able to see this and judge me was a little scary.

We were filming the scene where I was just on the bed lip-syncing first in a velvet top with a satin bralette and some funky cheetah bottoms.

"You're gonna do great, Grier." Ev pumped me up as they put the finishing touches on makeup

I gave him a nervous smile, "Thanks."

I walked into the set which was just a bedroom with a messy bed with a camera crew and everything in there.

Whew.

They explained to me how they just wanted me to have fun while lip-synching perfectly to my song.

And it went pretty well, it was my song after all.

Once we got that section done, we filmed the parts of the music video we needed with my love interest. His real name was Kyle and he was nice in real life just not the music video.

It felt weird holding hands, hugging, or even being so close with another guy when I was really into another guy.

We also had to film the scene when I caught him cheating on me.

I got to throw water on him, but I also felt pretty bad, even if it was just acting.

After we got that done, I had to get in the outfit that I knew would throw some people over the edge when the music video came out.

It was the grey bra with the cropped sweater with a bunch of holes in it along with grey boxer shorts.

"Grier, you need to be kind of sexy, kind of sassy." The camerawoman spoke

I nodded, "Gotcha."

That was new since I felt like my image was the 'first daughter of football' as some people referred to me as.

But this was my dream and I was going to put out nothing but the best for my music career.

So they asked and I delivered.

It wasn't that hard when I had my number one fan behind the camera cheering me on.

Then again it was kind of awkward with him watching me damn near naked.

Then the bathtub scene was my shit.

I never thought being in a long dress in a bathtub with flowers could make me so happy.

However, it wasn't that fun once the water got cold after shooting for forty-five minutes. We wrapped it once I smeared the mascara.

Everyone was so proud of me, I couldn't wait to see the outcome.

When we got back to Charlotte, Ev stuck around and hung out with me which was highly appreciated.

"What do you think people are going to say?" I asked Ev as we laid on my bed
