Prologue
"I never really put that much thought into being a musician," I said quietly as I held the recording contract that had just been slid across the table for me to read. Hollywood Records had just asked me to become one of their recording artists, and I wasn't exactly quite sure.
Don't get me wrong, I love singing and I love to perform; it just always seemed as if… I wasn't quite good enough. That and there was so much pressure, I didn't necessarily want to become famous or anything, I was just looking to have some fun with my life.
"Would you like some time to think about this, Emma? It's a big step in your life," the producer said from behind the desk. I started to mess with my class ring with my thumb; it was something I was used to doing whenever I felt unsure. Did I really want to change my life forever?
"Um… yeah. Can I get back to you in a few days? I really need to think this over," I whispered. I watched as he nodded and began to write down his number on a sticky note.
"Thank you. I'll try to contact you in a few days," I stated calmly as I picked up the sticky note and put it into my pocket. I turned on my heel slowly to see my boys standing in the doorway.
"Say yes," the middle one mouthed to me, he still had his hair straightened despite what everyone said about the curls being perfect. I smiled and walked over to give them each hugs before walking out of the door.
There were so many decent reasons for me to say no, but they were the only major influence for me to reply with a yes.
I knew one thing was for sure.
If I became a part of this record label, I was definitely going to need to break the mold.
