Someone | Trevor Moran

Chapter One

The Video:

"Wake up... Get up honey.... It's already noon"
"What?" I shout as I sit up. "I slept that long" I moan falling back onto my pillow. My mom takes a seat on the edge of my bed.
"You sure did, now get up. You can't waste everyday away!" My mom says sarcasticly. "I know it's summer but that doesn't mean you stay in bed all day!"
"It honestly feels like 8 o'clock in the morning." I moan "Wait... what day is it today?"
"Wednesday! Why do ask?" She gives me a questioning look.
"Oh no" I whisper to myself as I jump out of bed. "I have to upload a new YouTube video today and I haven't started filming it yet!"
I start to yell whilerunning toward the bathroom leaving my mom in my room alone. While crossing the hallway I run, literally, into my dad!
"You're in a hurry!" He states as he directs me out of his way!
"Can't talk. I have a video to film" I jaunt straight into the bathroom without even making eye contact.
Half asleep a take off my pyjamas and hop in the shower. I lather my body with soap, making sure to clean every inch of my body. Head to toe!
After drying myself off I put on a navy blue shirt with an anchor on it. I grab a pair of light coloured jean shorts, and quickly do my makeup! I grab my foundation and gently dab it on my face blending the skin coloured liquid evenly, next I grab mascara and let the brush dance softly over my eyelashes!
My usual look! I'm really not a huge fan of makeup, but trust me, without this little bit I look like an old hag. And nobody wants to see that!
My hair hasn't quite dried yet so I pull out my blow drier slowly maneuvering it around my head.
All dry!
I examine my hair wondering what to do with it! After about five minutes of pondering, I look in the drawer next to me and find a hair elastic, I put my hair up loosely.
The wave in my hair gives it an extra oomph.
I know, I know all that thinking just to put my hair in a up. Well I'm just weird like that and you need to appreciate it.
The reflection I see in the mirror is a totally different person then the grumpy bear that woke up this morning.
I put the finishing touches on my outfit, making sure everything is perfect.
After I am happy with my look I run down stairs for my camera.
While walking I hear strange noises and realize my stomachs is looking for food, so I put some bread in the toaster while searching for my camera!
It is still by the computer from when I uploaded my video last week. I grab the camera and head back into the kitchen just as my toast pops. I spread some Nutella on it and grab a glass of milk!
Taking a bite I can feel my taste buds dance as the Nutella floats through my mouth!
Sitting in silence I picture myself standing in front of my camera, singing my heart out!
Incase you didn't know I sing on YouTube! It's both a hobby and a passion! :)
My mom walks downstairs as I'm mouthing the words of the song I plan on performing, she gives me a strange look. And I return one to her!
"Excited for your new video?" She asks, changing to a smile.
"Oh course, I've been practicing all week!" I say enthusiastically.
"What song are you singing this week?" I'm surprised by this question, because I have been practicing all week and I thought she'd have heard considering our rooms are beside each other.
"'Dark Side' by Trevor Moran" I reply with a grin.
"I should have guessed. That's your favourite song"
"Yeah..." I frown. "I hope I can do it justice. I mean, he is my favourite singer, I hope I can live up to his expectations of the song"
"You have a beautiful voice Raelynn, Trevor and all the other O2L members would be proud to have you sing their song" she squeezes my shoulders and exits the room.
The silence continues until my brother comes in.
"Hey there little one" Luke pats my head as he walks by. My brother is great, don't get me wrong he just needs to stop treating me like a baby! I'm 15 not 4. Nonetheless I still love him!
Let me tell you a bit about my brother. Luke is a jock. But not your average cruel, bully, popular jock. He's more gentle and nice, so he gets all the girls. Which is kind of weird when you have people coming up to you asking when his next game is, or talking about how good looking he is. But I've learnt to get used it!
I chomp down the last few bites of my toast, and give him a look! Which he returns in a mocking way! We stare like this until he breaks and cheerfully asks:
"Are you uploading a new video today?" He smiles.
"Yep" I answer confidently. "To 'Dark Side' by Trev-"
"Trevor Moran?" He quetions, as if it's even a surprise. He, as well as anybody, knows its my favourite. So I nod in approval! "How am I so good at this?"
I shrug my shoulders and down what's left of my milk.
"You should give me a demo" when I give him a strange look he gives me a more direct answer. "I want to hear you sing"
"Um... Alright" I stutter nervously and walk him to my room where I have a microphone set up. I walk toward the speakers, plug my phone in, and walk back to the microphone.
The song begins to play and I feel warmth flood into my cheeks. I start off rusty but can feel the confidence flow into me like the water rushing from a broken dam.
By the time I finish I have an audience. My parents have come to hear me sing as well, and they are all clapping. I know this sounds cliché but it makes me feel special.
After they leave, I set up my camera, angling it where my microphone is placed, and walk toward it! I press record and introduce myself and the song I'm planning to sing, with just a little praise about how much I love Trevor.
I start the song and begin to sing, this time with much more confidence.
"It should be outlawed what you can do to me..."
I know I need to get over it but I sing much better without an audience. But I'm not famous so I have a some time to get over it.
The song flows out of my mouth like a rushing river, with strength, and beauty.
This is going to sound so cheesy, but singing makes me feel so alive, Its like I'm a whole different person. It's like my get away, my paradise.
"...I feel you pull me to the dark side..."
Finishing the song with a smile on my face I wave goodbye and turn off the camera.
After rewatching the video, I'm quite pleased with my performance and begin editing the video, adding intro and outro, etc. etc.
I overlook the video to make sure it is perfect, add my social media websites and post it to YouTube! :)
