I had to run away. What other choice did I have? She was being too much of a naggy mother who hates everything I do. What is it with her and her hate for music? I ran away to L.A. where I participated in a singing competition with my best friend, Jay. It was really nerve-racking, and I was scared shitless. But I managed to pass to the next round- boot camp. Jay made it to boot camp too. When the day of boot camp arrived, we were all asked to assemble at the back of the stage. All of us waited nervously for our turn. Negative thoughts filled my mind as we waited. What if I didn't get to the next round? What if Jay did and I didn't? I decided to talk to the other contestants that made it through, to make some friends while I still can. And that was when I met him. That was when I met Ethan.
