Creating My Dreams•A BYE Fanfic

Chapter 5

Sammy's POV:

Its official. No more videos can be submitted. I just wish mine was enough. I wish it so badly. No one understands how much I want it. But who am I kidding... Thousands of videos were chosen, and only 10 will win.

It's almost like im hyperventilating again. Its Saturday and I have nothing to do. Which means nothing to keep my mind off of it. Also meaning I'm doomed to hours of messing everything up. So far, I've already spilled my sisters coke twice, almost crashed the car, and I've zoned out so many times that my mom told me not to leave the house alone.

But I was prepared for this. I planned ahead and did my homework Friday night so I wouldn't have to do it later, either when I'm upset because I didn't make it or too excited to focus because I did.

But since I'm not able to leave the house alone, I ask my sister to drop me off at the studio so I can just hang with Gary or just my piano. Or maybe I can practice my guitar. As long as I'm doing something I think I will be fine.

**************************************

"Okay. Bye!" I say to my sister as I close the car door. I just promised her that I wouldn't do anything stupid, so I just said okay cuz god knows what I'm going to do.

When I go in, its unusually quiet so I just head over to the recording studio to play piano in peace and quiet. Gary and the other producers must be in a meeting or something. I begin to play All Of Me by John Legend and when I'm done with that I play Someone Like You by Adele like four times. It keeps my mind off of you know what. When I'm sick of playing that song, I start to play Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts.

That's when Gary finds me and starts talking to me about how the video recording went the other day. I keep my head down so I can focus and I won't mess up the notes. I'm lost in my music and Gary seems to notice what's up.

"Anything wrong Sam?"

"Ehh not really. I'm just worried about the contest and stuff," I say as I keep my head down and keep playing the notes.

"Well you'll be happy to know you've been chosen then." He says casually.

What he says just flies right by me and I let it sink in. Once it clicks, I snap my head up and stop playing. I just stand there with my mouth open and begin to smile like some weirdo as I run over to Gary engulfing him in the biggest hug I've ever given anyone. I wrap my legs around him and almost make him fall but he just hugs me back just as tight. We just stand there for awhile and I don't know what's happening around me anymore. I don't even notice the camera guy standing by the door.

Riley's POV:

We got good news today while we were eating dinner. We submitted our decision early enough and we got who we wanted, Sammy Green.

We decided with her producer that we would wait to tell her until everyone had chosen who they wanted. That way it would be more of a surprise. But really we were the third group to choose who we wanted, so that meant she was the third best but I don't see how that's even possible. Her voice is amazing.

Once all of the bands had selected their choices, we decided to tell her of our decision. And because we couldn't be there when Gary told her, he recorded it for us and sent it to us the minutes after it happened. We also planned to do a live video chat with her that night or the next day to catch her up on some things.

Right now me, Toby and Connor are sitting in front of my laptop getting ready to watch the video from Gary. Were all pretty excited. I mean wouldn't you be if you got to deliver this news to someone with huge dreams?

When the video begins, it shows Sammy in front of the piano playing Bless the Broken Road. She is looking down and is so focused in the music so she is oblivious to the camera.

When Gary starts to talk to her casually, she keeps her head soaked in the music, but when Gary delivers the news of her life, she brightens up like a light on a Christmas tree.

She stop playing and squeals and runs to Gary full of excitement. I look over to Connor and Toby to see smiles on their faces too.

"I think we did good," I say.

"Oh yeah! I'm so ready for this tour. She's gonna be a hit." Connor says.

"I think she better calm down or she's gonna burst!" Toby says laughing.

I look back at the screen to see her back on the ground with her hands on her face in disbelief. She's asking Gary questions like if he's kidding or how could this happen with out giving him time to answer. Before he knows it she's back in his arms in a hug. A few seconds later, a tall blonde walks in and she is soon screaming in joy and hugging her. While rejoicing the blonde trips and falls on the floor, causing the whole studio and my tour bus to break out in laughter. After that, the camera is shut off.

**************************************

Sammy's POV:

"I honestly can't believe this!!!" I scream to Grace as I help her off the floor. I'm still jumping up and down in excitement and I can't stop. This is really happening...

I'm still being congratulated when one of the photographers comes up to Gary and says,"got it." With a smile on his face. Then he comes over to me, smiles and gives me a hug, and leaves.

I walk, more like happily skip, up to Gary to ask what that was all about.

"Oh that was Mark, a photographer who works here. I got him to film this whole thing so we could send it to whoever. And plus the guys in Before You Exit asked me to since-"

"WHAT? Before You Exit chose me?? I thought it would be like... Idk...someone else not them! They're huge!!" I totally lose it at that. I'm dreaming. I have to be.
