I Like the Way it Hurts (Eminem Fanfic)

Chapter 1- A New Start

Year 2000

Sara's POV:

"I want to have a talk with you." I told my manager over the phone.

"Sure, what's up?" My manager, Erika responded.

"Umm... It has to do with where I wanna go with my career. I'd rather not talk about it over the phone. I would like you to set up a meeting with the record label as soon as possible."

"Alright I'll do what I can."

"Thanks see you soon."

A Week Later

(At Capitol Records)

"I set up this meeting because I want to change my image a bit and that includes the type of music I sing. I feel like I've overgrown the whole cliche pop sound. I would like to do have more electronic beats and sing a little R&B. As well as collaborations with rappers."

Everyone was absolutely silent. So silent that I could almost hear crickets.

"Well, uh unfortunately we can't take your request. We want a certain image for our label and what you just offered is not within the boundaries that we have. So you'll have to continue about the same route we had for you if you would like to continue under our label." Answered the CEO.

It took me a moment to answer because I wanted to give them the news as polite as I could.

"I really have the desire to take my career to the next level and unfortunately I can't do that under this label. So with all due respect I don't know if you've noticed but my contract is expiring next month and I won't be renewing it. "

"If that's what you feel is best for you to do so be it. Good luck."

"Thank you I wish the same for you." I exited the meeting with Erika.

Two Months After

As I was eating breakfast I could hear my phone buzzing disrupting my calm morning.

It was Erika.

"Yes ma'am." I answered.

"So you see how we have been searching for another record label that is willing to take into consideration what it is that you want to do as a solo artist?"

"Yes?"

"Well I have good news. No one other than Dr.Dre is willing to take you under his wing."

"What? Oh god... that's great! So when will I be meeting him?"

"He said next Thursday. He will be working with other people at the studio, but he said he would for sure make room for you."

"Alright. Okay so tell him I gladly take his offer."

After I hanged up I called my best friend Gaby and told her about what I just found out. Now all I had to do was wait for the day to come.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I'm basing Sara's character off of Rihanna, Selena Gomez, and Miley Cyrus song wise.
