My Own Fame (Sequel to 'The Trap')

Lily's POV Chapter 1

Hey readers! The next three chapters will be Lily's story. It's sort of slow right now, but hopefully it'll pick up soon! I'll try my best to update every Monday! Thanks for reading!

"Hey Lil, I don't feel good."

"What's wrong, Jack?"

"My stomach hurts."

"I'm sorry. What's up?"

"I'm nervous about baseball tryouts today."

"Why?"

"It's a new coach and everyone has to try out again. It's not fair." 

"It's going to be okay."

Jack looked at me, rolled his eyes and shook his head. I knew he was stressed.

"I'm serious, Jackson Madison. Don't make me call Dylan."

(Jack is one of my seven brothers and is number eight out of fourteen. He looks up to our oldest brother, Dylan. It seems to me that Jack is Dylan's twin because they're always together. It's so cute!)

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Please don't call him."

"Wow that actually worked? I mean of course it did! I'm an amazing sister!"

"Hey sis, uh still hurting over here."

"Okay look your new coach is a close and personal friend of mine. So I'll put in a good word for you."

"Oh who are you kidding, Lilian Grace? We all know that you're dating Sydney's brother, Axel."

I whispered in his ear. "Who told you that?"

"Nobody. I figured it out. But don't worry, Triple C okay?"

(Triple C is the secret sibling club. We use the phrase to say that secret is safe with me.)

"Thanks."

He nodded. "You two are an weird couple."

"Why?"

"It's just you're quiet and he's loud, he's tall and you're a midget like Mom. Um don't tell her I said that."

I nodded. "Anything else?"

"Um yeah he's really into sports and I always to explain every sport to you."

"But Axel and I are the same age."

"So?"

"So we have that in common."

He rolled his eyes. "Wow I had no idea."

"Okay time to head back to class, Mr. Cowell."

"Hey, you can't throw me out! My Dad's a music mogul!"

"OMG, my Dad is too! Jackson, I've been in this family longer than you've been alive."

"But I was adopted straight from the womb. Beat that."

"I'm twelve years older than you."

"Age is just a number."

"Fine. You were adopted into my family because Dylan, Rochelle, Holly and I encouraged Mom and Dad to date, get engaged twice and finally get married. You would be an orphan without us, little brother."

Jack stood there with his mouth opened completely. (Yes! I won the argument!)

Suddenly there was a figure in the doorway. "What's going on here?"
