The Price Of Fame

Author's Note: Hey so here is a fanfiction that I'm (Infusion d'Iris) writing with LilyCullenSalvatore. It's ALL HUMAN. We got inspiration from our favorites movies. So enjoy! We wrote that prologue together.

PROLOGUE:

"Up next, a BB song ! " the presentor chanted on set. We could see a music video of BB, the hottest new teen star out there.

"I can't believe the Black Eyed Peas offered you to sing on their newest album! " Shannon confessed, eyeing Bonnie with wide eyes, filled with what could only be called as jealousy.

"Well, it's not like they haven't done it before, remember "I got it from my mama" by Will. ? That was all me!" Bonnie replied matter-of-factly, as if Shannon was talking nonsense.

They were sitting outside, on the terrace of a cupcake shop on Santa Monica Boulevard. Bonnie and Shannon were dressed the same, they were wearing those expensive designer clothes freshly bought in Rodeo Drive shops, their shoes were either Dior or Louboutin (ah.. .French haute couture always drives American girls crazy) and of course, their makeup and hairdos, as usual, were always flawless.

Not to mention they were the most popular girls at school, Shannon was the daughter of a very wealthy and influent Hollywood director and Bonnie was a singer songwriter who recently become a platinum album selling popstar and cover girl of OK and US Weekly magazines. They were living a golden life so to speak. The two didn't bother with boyfriends, they very much preferred to own toy boys, the kind of toy you play with once or twice and then toss away so that they can be recycled.

Shannon shrugged, tossing her long silky blonde hair back. "I always knew you had talent, Bon." She said, simply. After all, Shannon had been the reason of Bonnie's introduction to fame. Bonnie had sung in a school play, and then Shannon's father had contacted one of his record producer friends, and she had made a number one selling album. She was just one of those girls who loved fame, and who fame seemed to love back.

Bonnie smiled at her, pushing her silk scarf out of her face so that it wouldn't get stuck on her lipgloss.

"Oh my god you're BB!" A young girl with crazy ginger hair who was entering the store exclaimed.

Bonnie shot her the best smile she could muster. "Yep, that's me," She told her.

The girl handed her Bonnie's latest CD. "I just bought it. Could you sign it for me?" She asked, her voice pleading.

"Why of course," Bonnie exclaimed, in her nicest voice. She took the pen the girl offered her and signed her big elaborate script handwriting.

"What's your name?" She asked the girl.

"Monica," The girl told her, proudly.

Bonnie nodded, and wrote neatly on the CD.

To Monica,

Keep it real! =)

With Love,

Bonnie Bennett (BB)

The girl took it, looking pleased. "Thank you!" She exclaimed, rushing over to show her mother.

Shannon smiled, "You always were great with kids," She muttered.

Bonnie grinned, "I know," She muttered, her green eyes shining.

Her cell phone then started to buzz. She checked the caller ID.

"Oh crap, it's mom. I forgot about her stupid family dinner today," Bonnie exclaimed, standing up.

Shannon followed her, "I think it's sweet how your mom thinks you can be a regular family," She pointed out, as they headed towards the black stretch limo that was waiting outside.

Bonnie's bodyguard, Philip, shielded them from the paparazzi who were calling out questions. "Is it true you're dating Chris Brown?" "Are you releasing a new album soon?" "What are you wearing?" Bonnie had learned to ignore them. She slipped on her shades, as Philip ushered her into the limo. Shannon got in too, a slight grin on her pretty face.

"Well, I for once, hate that stupid family stuff," Bonnie complained, as the limo driver took off to her home.

Shannon giggled, and she blasted Bonnie Bennett's latest single 'Sexy Ass' on the CD player in the limo. "I love this song," She exclaimed, tunelessly singing along to the lyrics.

Bonnie grinned, "I don't like listening to myself," She muttered, as the limo stopped in front of her mother's semi-detached house. Bonnie lived in her own LA studio apartment, which she shared with Shannon.

"See you at home," Shannon muttered. Bonnie nodded as she hugged her friend briskly, and then stepped out of the car. Philip followed her to the door, his arms spread protectively around her.

Bonnie knocked on the door. Her mom came to it, biting her lip. "Bonnie, you're late," She stated, simply, letting her daughter into the house.

Bonnie rolled her eyes and entered. Philip followed. "Mom, you know I'm really busy," She muttered.

Her mom pursed her lips. "Bonnie, you're still a part of this family," She complained, gesturing to the dining table where Bonnie's dad was sitting along with her uncle, and her grandparents. Bonnie was an only child, she didn't have any brothers and sisters.

Bonnie sighed, and sat down at the empty space on the table. Her grandmother eyed her outfit warily. "Could your skirt be any shorter?" She complained, looking at Bonnie's black miniskirt.

"The real question is, could that shirt be any more low-cut," Her grandfather stated. Bonnie looked down at her hot pink tank with a sigh. She got up, and stormed upstairs to her old room. The one she had before she moved out.

Her mom came in, a bored look on her face. "What's wrong now?" She asked her, sitting down on the bed.

Bonnie sighed, "I'm not cut out for the family life. Grandma and Grandpa are criticizing my clothes again. You know how much I hate that," She complained.

Her mom sighed too, "They hate you being famous," She stated.

"Well, I love it. I would give up anything for my fame. In fact, I'm leaving, I have a record signing early tomorrow morning, " Bonnie exclaimed, starting out of the room.

Her mother grabbed her arm, "No, Bonnie. I'm sick and tired of this attitude. You're taking a break from the 'famous' life and you're going to stay with your aunt in Mystic Falls," She muttered.

Bonnie burst out laughing, "Haha, very funny mom," She exclaimed, thinking her mom was joking. But in fact the look on her mom's face was serious.

"I mean it, I'm sending you to spend a couple of months with your aunt in Virginia. Maybe you can get rid of your smart ass attitude." She muttered.

Bonnie looked disgusted, "You mean Mystic Falls, VIRGINIA? There's like no Wifi there, it's the middle of the countryside," She whined.

Her mom actually smiled, "There is actually internet there. You might like it," She muttered.

Bonnie snorted. "Yeah, and maybe I'm not the hottest teen pop sensation," She cried, sarcastically.

Her mom looked scolding, "This is exactly why you need to go to your aunt. You have an ego as big as the continental US," She burst out.

Bonnie rolled her eyes, "I'm not going to Magical Storms, Virginia," She told her mom.

"It's Mystic Falls," Her mom corrected.

"Whatever," Bonnie said, rushing out of the room.

She grabbed her bag, and ran downstairs, she caught glimpse of her grandparents and uncle talking about the new Bonnie, and her nasty behavior.

"Yeah, yeah you can talk all you want about me, but whatever this little reunion is about, I don't care and I'm out of here! Guess you won't miss me, so…" as she finished her sentence she was already out the door, Philip following her practically running.

"Gosh I hate when they're like that!" she cried completely annoyed at their reaction, she hated when people where all judgmental over her.

"The limo will be there in 5 minutes Miss" Phillip said calmly, he knew how she was when she was pissed, she could just burst out on a random person.

"Thanks Phillip, for being there and all" she opened her arms and hugged him, saying thank you was something Bonnie Bennett had forgotten since she became successful and famous. So yeah, Phillip was at the very least taken aback, and scared because he never seen her that way.

The limo pulled over and Bonnie hopped in, followed by her bodyguard.

"So how was the dinner party?" Shannon asked faking a British accent, when Bonnie entered the living room.

"Awful, I stayed there for like five minutes, gosh it's good to be home!" Bonnie shouted as she jumped onto their expensive red couch.
