It's been a week and 3 days since the release party and I haven't gotten a text or call from Normani.
I'm pretty sure I didn't put the wrong number in, I checked twice before I gave her back her phone so obviously she doesn't want to talk to me.
I mean, It makes sense. I'm just a nobody, I'm just "Brian and Billie's best friend" nothing more, nothing less. Why I care so much ? I don't know.
It never really got to me before whether or not I was noticed by someone or what celebrities thought of me because in my eyes Brian and Billie where just people, people who happen to make music that a lot of people like.
I'm interrupted from my thoughts when there's harsh repetitive knocking on the other side of my bedroom door.
I ignore it but that doesn't help because it just gets louder.
"Come in, Chicago" I huffed.
"Ok but, how you know it was me though ?"
"Bruh, you the only one who be knocking on doors like the police don't exist, what you want"
"Look at this shit, Bambi" He threw his phone at me to look at as he leaned on my door.
@ArianaGrande: Ok but like...do y'all hear her voice ? I'm legit honored to have her sing my song wtf...If y'all love me, y'all will help me find her @
@CatisArianaGrande:Yoooo when she hit those high notes tho...and that falsettooo!!
"Woahhhh, dude you for real ? nah you for fake...you for real ?"I looked at him with my hand over my mouth.
"Bino, that ain't even the best part, keep scrolling"
I scrolled down a bit more and was about to literally hurl the phone before I realized it wasn't mine.
@Normani: Had the pleasure of meeting the cutie at the release party, her voice is beautiful even when she's not singing 💗
"YOOOOOOOO" I yelled as I looked up at my younger brother.
We did an extra ass hand shake and yelled again.
"CAN YALL SHUT THE FUCK UP" Our mother yelled from the living room.
We instantly quieted down and muttered a "Yes mom" before silently bouncing around the room.
There were loud footsteps on the other side of the door before the two dumbasses I call my friends burst into the room.
"YOOOOOO" Billie, Brian and I yelled in unison.
"Can y'all shut the hell up, I'm tryna watch reruns of Flavor of love" My mother hollered from the doorway with her arms crossed.
"Now Billie I love you, you like a second daughter, which is why I will not hesitate to whoop you either. You never to old to get a good whooping"
"No we good mama" Billie quickly shut down any sort of offering of a whopping.
She nodded before closing the door and continuing her marathon.
Once we knew she was all the way downstairs, we all started dancing around silently.
Your fav crackhead could never.

One Week Later
"Chig, Are you sure about this ?" I asked hesitantly, I was still unsure if we should do this.
"Y/n I'm sure, don't worry about it. This is me just paying you back for all the times you were there for me" I nodded softly before letting out a shaky breath.
"Now get your ass in that booth" We laughed together before I walked into the booth.
During the week, Brian had made me a few beats but only one stood out which is the one I'm going to sing on now.
Silhouettes
Of the one I used to know then,
Always gone again,
before the light hits again
Silhouettes
of the one I use to love then,
always gone again
before I remember them
Silhouettes has been a word stuck in my head for a hot minute.
The song is essentially about being in love with someone but the person you love starts to fade away and you realize you're now in love with a stranger. Every now and then you'll see glimpses of the person you loved but they vanish again before you realize it.
Is it a personal song ? pfft of course not, I totally don't relate to this on any level at all.
How long before the old you comes out again ?
How long before my heart can shatter again ?
3 years of a headache, went down the drain
Is it wrong for me to say, I would do it all again ?
I sung the chorus one more time before taking off my headphones and walking out of the booth.
"Bruh, you sure you don't wanna collab one day ? I need you on this track, It's called Yellow" The offer sounded good but I didn't want it to seem like I was using him for fame.
"I'd love to but I don't want it to seem like i'm using you to get somewhere, I appreciate you though, Like so much. I love you, Chig"We dapped before he gave me the flash drive with the finished song on it.
"I love you to Y/NN, now get the fuck out so I can finish making these beats" I poured before leaving and walking down to my car.
Let's see if people actually like my music.

I was on my way to meet up with Scooter Braun to talk about stuff.
He says we're just going to talk but let's be honest, who flies you out this far just to talk ?
The taxi driver drops me off in front of the New York HQ.
After the receptionist shows me the way to go, I hesitantly walk towards his office.
I softly knock on the door and await his acceptance call.
"Y/N!" Scooter hollers enthusiastically with wide arms.
After we hug and greet each other, he sits down in his chair and I sit down in front of him.
"So, I've been watching you for some time ( sksks ocean eyes 🌚, anyway back to the story) and I think that you'd be great addition to this label" He clasps his hands together as he makes himself comfortable in his seat.
"Wow, Um...wow. I don't even know what to say, Where do I sign ?"
"I love the enthusiasm, so we have all the papers and stuff ready, they're right here" He points to his left where a stack of papers were.
I grab the papers and go to town.
I finally finish with my last signature with a huge bright smile on my face.
This is truly my passion and this is just the start of it all.
"Well, we're all set and ready to go. You're first song that you're gonna start working on though is going to be a collaboration"
"Oh really ? who am I working with" I asked rather eagerly
"Well it's N-" He gets cut off by the sound of the door opening
"Well she just walked in" I turn around happily only for my smile to drop.
Our eyes meet for a second before she looks away bashfully.
She waved softly before turning back to listen to what else Scooter had to say.
I had tuned him out as soon as she walked through the door.
What the fuck type of luck is this ?
A collab with Normani fucking Kordei
