Laurens POV her home
I sat in my room with my siblings, folding and stitching clothes. I heard my sister Taylor tell Chris that he was wasting the electricity by playing with the light bulb. I heard a door knock and it was Karla .
"Hey Lauren" she said to me " I just came by to tell you that I don't want to seem ungrateful by not saying thank you for what you did earlier for my note book and everything else."
"Don't worry about it, my action wasn't anything that big." I said with a genuine smile.
"Okay Lauren, but i also came by to drop off this so you can hear it and tell me what you think." She said handing me a cassette.
I put on a serious face and said to Karla "okay but what if I don't like it?"
      Karla looked like a dear in headlights and began to ramble saying " Well if you don't then, umm just don't tell me anything." She began to leave out the door.
     I instantly shot up the bed and chased her saying " sorry Karla wait up it was a joke. I'm sure that if the is cassette is anything like the lyrics in your notebook that Natalie read out loud it's marvelous. I sure it's going to be good and I'm going to love it."
     Karla had a slim smile and she said her goodbyes to Chris and Taylor, and left.
I smiled from ear to ear because the joy Karla caused me.
Third person POV-
Lauren sat on a roof top playing the cassette that Karla had brought her. She played the songs over and over because of how good they were she loved the lyrics and the voice. She hoped within her that one day Karla would write a song dedicated to her.-

    The next day Lauren went in search of Zayn to tell him about letting Karla join their group. Yet she was met with sluty girls who were friends with Zayn, according to Zayn they were going to film a video so he break records with his song. Lauren in the back of her mind thought that Karla would have been a better option. They began to film the video with dancers and girls.
-    
    Once they were done the went to DJ Khaled so they could show him the song and video. DJ didn't like the song and told them "to not waste his time with music that wasn't good or worth it."
    Lauren thought of the perfect idea to show DJ she asked him if she could play something, to what DJ agreed to. Lauren put the songs that Karla gave her into the speaker which DJ liked a lot.
   DJ told them " this is what I wanted, this is the real music I'm looking for." Lauren told them she would produce the music, Zayn would sing, and Karla would be a song writer for soul and bass. After making these arrangements DJ said " As soon as possible we will get you in a studio and record this song. I am going to make it so big that it will be on every radio in town. Lauren and Zayn were very happy at hearing this and Lauren couldn't wait to tell Karla about their new journey in music.

Karla's POV- Parents shop
As I was approaching the room where my parents were working I heard my mom say " Stop giving Karla encouragement with her music, it won't get her anywhere in life!"
"Karla has a lot of real good musical talent." My dad replied.
"I know she has a lot of good talent that shouldn't go to waste, but she wastes too much time listening to music all the time. She shouldn't expect to live off of it." My mom said.
"She can do school and write music at the same time." My dad said.
"Alejandro, we are killing our selfs working for her to be able to go to school and get her to college!"
"She can do both, Karla tries very hard." Dad said.
"I don't want Karla to end up like us I want her to have a good job and not be stuck in this shit hole all her life. My mom yelled at dad.
I had enough of my parents talk so I rushed to a hill above the city and cried all I could. I began to tear the pages out of my notebook full of songs as I was about to throw the whole thing I heard Lauren and Zayn. They were approaching me and says hey.
Lauren's POV-

"Karla don't you throw that treasure away, your music is very good please don't destroy it. I said as I saw Zayn began to grab it and read it.
"Lauren but my parents have sacrificed so much for me while I don't just focus on school. They don't want me to do music they want me to get a good major with a good job or at least better than theirs." Karla sobbed on my chest.
     Zayn began to tell Karla " look whoever said that doesn't know that music is money. I we get one good song on the charts we'll get a lot of money. After that you can fulfill your parents wishes, Lauren can take care of her siblings and I can help my mom's finances."
       I saw Karla deep in and my the she told us " fine but it won't be easy.
     " look Lauren showed me your music and it's great." Zayn confessed to Karla
