Creating My Dreams•A BYE Fanfic

Chapter 1

The flash of the camera went off and I stepped off the set and back into my dressing room. I change back into my normal clothes and meet Gary back in the studio.

Gary is my producer and with out him I wouldn't be on my way to what I want most: my singing career. At first I was hesitant about the decision to drop volleyball for singing. I mean who wouldn't be after 7 years of playing. But after hours of discussion with Gary and my family, I decided on singing.

My family, my mom, dad , brother, and identical twin sister, always thought I would play volleyball in college. I always thought I would too. But I guess after so many years of elementary music class, back seat singing, and screaming at the top of my lungs at a concert, I found my real destiny: singing.

But there's a problem. Of course there is. There always is. I am scared to death to sing in front of anyone. Even myself sometimes.

So now your probably wondering how I even got to where I am today if I can't face my fear. Well, I met Gary when I was forced to, by my mom. When I was left home alone one night, my mom came back unexpectedly. You can probably guess what I was doing. Yep. Singing. She heard me and contacted Gary because she thought I was too good to hide. It went on from there.

Gary finally got me to sing into the microphone but only because I, for some reason, trusted him. Gary was a married man and had two kids. One six year old girl with a four year old brother. He wasn't a guy fresh out of college but he wasn't an old man. He had experience in the singing field and my mom just so happened to find him for me. I'm so happy she did though. He's like family to me.

Today, I had my first professional photo shoot for my covers. By the end of next week I'm supposed to have a complete portfolio filled out about myself and my career so far. This is for the Fight to Tour contest. I want it so bad but I'm so new in the music business that I'm worried I won't be chosen. But Gary is doing his absolute best for me, which includes the best photography one can have. Sometimes I think he spoils me.

So far, I have recorded two songs that I covered by Carrie Underwood: Little Toy Guns and Good Girl. I am in love with her voice and I am always singing her songs, so I wanted to include them in my portfolio. I have also sung live in front of Gary and only Gary, Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatt's while playing piano. ( I'm also learning to play guitar). I don't know why but I love this song. Its pretty old but no matter how many times I listen to it, it never gets old.

Now here's the scary\exciting part. Later this week, Gary's sister is getting married and she has agreed to let me sing a song at her wedding, which is crazy. I've never sung in front of anyone besides Gary, but my family and friends have heard my recordings, and now I'm supposed to sing in a wedding! Then, next Sunday, I'm supposed to sing at my church. I'm freaking out about this one too, don't worry.

I've discussed this with Gary and we've decided on the songs. I'm going to sing Mama's Song by Carrie Underwood at the wedding and Something in the Water by yet again Carrie Underwood at my church.

The main reason why Gary booked me to perform is so I have more to go off of when the bands who are choosing the winners for the contest look at me. He said it looks good if I sing live and in front of people rather than in a studio alone, so I agreed.

I also have to include a video of me explaining my career so far, who I would like to tour with (if any), my family, and what I have done outside of my career. Once I'm done with this, I have to edit everything into one video under 20 minutes.

That's why I'm meeting Gary in the studio right now. He is going to help me record it and help me look as appealing as possible. I just hope I do.
