The Way I Am

Welcome

I use to think the whole idea of being famous was stupid. Most people dream of being famous like my best friend, Ella stone, for example. I wasn't always a doubter when it came to fame. In fact, I loved to think I had what it took to make it in the big show, Hollywood, but when my dad left me and my younger sister, taking my brother with him, I gave up. I thought it was all my fault because my mom was so supportive and he wasn't they would get in fights over when she would tell me I couldn't make it work. I miss my brother I haven't seen him in 4 years. He used to come home for Easter every year but when he was a junior he stopped. He said he had other things and couldn't travel. My dad and brother live in England. They moved after the divorce, so nothing would happen. My brother didn't want to go, but he knew my mom couldn't support us all. I remember I was 8 and he was 10, he sat me on my bed and told me he was leaving. I cried the whole night, but he never left my side that night. Most brothers and sisters fight, but we were different. He was supportive, but honest with me and I am so thankful for that now. I try to be that way with my sister, veronica, but she hates the nickname she was given " ronny". After the whole divorce thing gave up my dream and help around the house while my mom worked. Ella has an amazing voice and since I knew I wouldn't make it I supported her. I video her singing in the car and posted it on my Instagram. People loved her, one day I was trying to convince her to do covers on YouTube and I promised I do all the work all that she had to do was sing. Ella promised one cover and if it fails that's it. She did a cover of "Dead" by Madison Beer. I edited an intro together and posted it. I also promoted it on all my and her social medias. She grew a 100 subscribers in one night and people at school kept asking her to posted another one. She did three within 2 weeks and grew to 1,000 subscribers and 2,500 views each. Even though I did sing anymore I wrote songs and created songs. She had been begging me to let her see my song journal. I wrote a song that I thought would fit her voice amazingly. I let her read it and she wanted to get started right away. I had my other tech friends make a studio in my private office. Yeah, private office after 5 years of suffering with money. My mom met a rich guy and they hit it off, one thing after another he became my step-dad. I don't talk to him much and he stays out of my business. My friends built that and my other best friend, kenzie, was helping style us for the music video. Ella, convinced me to sing a little part of the song. Kenzie's boyfriend was going to film since I couldn't. We spent 150 dollars on production. We filmed at my step-dad's mansion. It was release on the internet. It gained 1 million views and she gain 15,000 subscribers. I got a email 3 days after the video. From danielle Fisher a talent agent in L.A., she request me and Ella fly out after graduation in 2 weeks. Oh, did I forget to mention Ella and I were finishing college. The trips was all expenses paid. That wasn't the only good news, my brother was coming home and going to my graduation.

3 days before graduation...

Ella and I were working on a new song. When the doorbell rang, I got up to answer it so ronny wouldn't.

I open it to reveal a man in his upper twenties. "Hi, I don't know if you remember me, Pe, I'm Tyler, your brother!" the guy said. " oh my god, tyler" I practically screamed. I hugged him. " mom and trey aren't home, but Ronnie is up in her room doing homework." I told him, hinting to go see veronica.

He hugged me again and I headed back to my room in the basement. I had the whole basement to myself. There is 3 rooms down there and the house is on a hill so the one side is in the ground and the other has glass doors leading to the backyard/pool area. It is like my own apartment. The rooms go a lounge area with stairs, a door going into my room with a closet and bathroom. If you headed to the door farthest from the stairs that is my office. Ella was waiting for me in office. I was tired of writing and it was Friday night. We have a long weekend, because ofditch day and memorial day. I convinced her to go swimming. We changed and I checked in on ty and ronny. They decided to join us. Betty our cook was making steak. My mom and trey came home as we were getting in. Of course my mom made a fuss over Tyler. Trey was going to get in with us and my mom was just going to sit on the side. Ronny is 13, so I hang out with her and do her makeup. Once a month we have a sister sleepover. It just a day full of us time, nobody else. Sometimes she wanted Ella and Mak to join us. We ate as a family for the first time in awhile. Ella is like an adopted sister. She was my best friend since I was 5.
