Hey readers...Nami is back baby! I know I just finished 3 Words To Choke Upon but as soon as I finished that story, I started thinking of new ideas. I literally stayed up day and night thinking of new ideas until this idea hit me. Then i spent all day today writing this chapter:) By the way I put MY own character named Marissa. Hee anyways I hope you enjoy the first chapter ^.^
Clare's POV:
I never knew being a punk rock singer could be such a hard life, especially for a 16 year old girl like me. My name is Clare Edwards but people know me as my stage name "Black Pixie." I know that name sounds weird but my manager said it sounds like a punk rock singer name, instead of Clare Edwards.
I've been in the music business for two years now. I was discovered when I was 14 and ever since, I've made two albums; The World Inside Out and Crawl to Hell.
I remember when I was discovered, I was just coming home from school….
~*~*~Flashback~*~*~
I was walking up the steps into my house and as soon as I got in, I ran to my room. I dropped my bag on my bedroom floor and flung my body onto my bed. Who knew going to Degrassi can be so tiring and dramatic? I looked over at my guitar in the corner of my room and smiled.
I jumped from my bed and grabbed my guitar before putting it in my guitar case. I walked out of my room and out of the house. I like to play my guitar at the park sometimes to feel…free.
I walked all the way to the park and sat in front of a tree that was in the back of the park. I started strumming and singing my one of my songs. It was love song that I wrote about a boy that doesn't know I exist.
He was a year older than me but he was beautiful. From is long, shaggy jet black hair to his gorgeous emerald green eyes. His name was Eli and I always had a crush on him ever since he started school this year.
He was a sophomore but I had Advanced English class with him, even though I was freshman. Even though we had class together, we barley talked to each other.
But anyways, as I was playing and singing I noticed a shadow in front of me. I stopped playing my guitar and looked up to see a well dressed man standing in front of me. I froze because I didn't know if he was a rapist or not.
"Can I help you?" I asked the mystery man.
"I'm sorry. I was just walking around when I heard your voice."
"Okay…"
"Your voice sounds amazing. Are you a trained singer?"
"Thanks and no."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chris Drive and I am a manager from Fearless Records."
"Fearless Records?"
"Yes. And if you don't believe me, here is my business card."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a white card out. He handed it to me and I took it while looking at it. The card had his name, cell phone number, office number, and an address to a studio.
"Wow. I believe you."
"Anyways, how would you feel about being a professional singer?"
"Really?"
"Yup and if you want we can talk to your parents right now and get their permission."
I thought about that and suddenly thought about this decision. I can stay here and continue being the awkward, nerdy, Christian girl or be a famous singer?
"We better call my parents right now then," I said with a smile while shaking his hand.
That night Chris came over to my house and had a conversation with my parents. At first, they were worried and scared of letting me go but after Chris convince them with a couple facts, they finally agreed and signed the contract.
After that, I had to go to school the next day to clean out my locker and transfer out of Degrassi. I didn't tell anyone at school what's going on because I don't have friends and I really doubt anyone would notice that "Saint Clare" left.
As I was walking towards the school's main entrance to leave, I bumped into a hard chest which caused me to drop the books in my hand. I started apologizing to the person while picking my books up when I heard a smooth voice say,
"It's okay."
I looked up and notice it was Eli Goldsworthy I crashed into. He bent down and started picking up the last book for me before handing it over to me with a smirk.
"Thanks," I said while grabbing the book and started exiting the school.
I can't believe the one time I talked to him I'm leaving and never coming back.
~*~*~End of Flashback~*~*~
I thought about Eli for awhile until I became so busy in work, I didn't even remember what he looked like. But the song I sang at the park was the last love song I ever wrote before the incident happened.
I know my past two album names sound dark and that's okay because that what was what I was going for since my name is Black Pixie. All my songs are written by me and only me. Every lyric in my songs represent the person I am and what happened in the past two years.
But I don't want to explain what happened. Currently, I'm walking out of the recording studio after recording for about an hour and a half. It is almost the end of November and weather right now in Vancouver is really chilly.
I noticed the limo driver was holding my door opened and had a smile on his face. I smiled back at him before entering the limo and watched him close the door.
I felt the car moving and I just pulled out my phone to see the time. 8:48 p.m. it read on the screen. I put my phone down beside me and pulled my Ipod put of my purse then putting my headphones in.
I scrolled through my songs and chose Nobody's Home from Avril Lavigne. I started playing with my long red-brownish curl hair while listening to the song. Even though I became a punk rock singer, I didn't cut my hair but I got a new pair of glasses and a new wardrobe.
I went from wearing floral tops, flats, and jean skirts to leather jackets, studded accessories, and tight skinny jeans. I was so lost that I didn't even notice that the limo stopped outside my hotel where I see camera flashes and screaming fans.
I stepped out and had my bodyguard, by my side, pull me through the fans and into the hotel lobby. Once we were inside, I walked away and into the elevator. I pressed the 16th floor button and waited. Once I heard the ding! the elevator doors openedand I was speed walking to my room.
Once I entered my room, I walked over to the edge of my bed and kicked off my 7 inch black heels. I fell back onto my bed and reached into my pocket so I can call my best friend, Marissa.
Marissa became my best friend after I was discovered and she was in the recording booth when I went to record my first song. Ever since, we've been insurable and we didn't let our fame get in between us.
"Hello?"
"Hey Marissa!"
"Clare! Hi."
"Hey so I think it's time."
"Are you sure you want to go through with this plan?"
"Positive. I just… need it right now."
"Alright, I'm on my way. I'll be there in five minutes."
"Okay bye."
"Bye."
I hanged up and ran to the other side of the room to grab the papers off the coffee table. I heard a knock on my door and I ran to open the door to see Marissa with a wig on. She walked in and I closed the door behind her.
She turned around to look at me before fixing a blonde wig on my head and handed me a long tan jacket. I put it on and put on my glasses before grabbing Marissa's hand out of the room.
We sneaked out the back way of the hotel and got into Marissa's car. She turned it on the car before driving away to our destination.
"So are you ready for the surgery?"
"Yup. And don't worry I have the papers in my purse."
"Did you forge the signature?"
"Of course."
"Just checking."
We pulled up to the clinic and got out of the car. We both got of the car and walked in towards the receptionist's desk.
"Hi, we have a nine 'o clock appointment with Dr. Planet," I said to her.
"Alright let me check if he's ready for you."
She talked to him for about thirty second before letting us go to his office. We knocked on his door before we heard a faint 'come in' and stepped in to Dr. Planet's office. He smiled up at us, "Hello ladies. Please take a seat."
We each took a seat in front of his desk and he started talking, "So how can I help?"
"Umm we came here about two weeks ago asking for a laser eye surgery." I said with a smile.
"Oh yes. Do you have the paper work filled out by both of your parents?"
"Yes," I pulled out the papers from my purse and hand it over.
"Great and now, you follow while your friend waits in the waiting room," he said while standing up from his chair.
I nodded and Marissa got up also then gave me up as a way of saying 'good luck'. She left with a smile and I turned around to face the doctor.
"Should we get started?" he asked
"Of course," I said while following him out.
~*~*~The Next Day~*~*~
It's 2:36 p.m. right now and that means only 15 minutes until I can take the bandages off my eyes and no longer have to wear glasses. I'm lucky that my manager, Martha, hasn't checked up on me because nobody but Marissa knows about my laser eye surgery.
After the surgery, Marissa took me back to the hotel and helped me to my room. When we got in, she agreed to stay in my room with me since I can't really see. Marissa is such a good friend, especially now.
I guess I was so into thought that I didn't even notice 15 minutes didn't pass until I heard Marissa say, "It's time to take off the bandages."
I squealed in excitement and took the bandages off my eyes. As soon as it was off, me and Marissa ran into the bathroom to what I look like. As soon as we looked into the mirror, we couldn't stop staring at my eyes.
"Wow, where have you been hiding those big blue eyes?"
"I know right!"
I jumped into Marissa's arms and hugged her which she returned in favor. As soon as she pulled away she looked at me, "Okay now that step one is done, time for step two."
She smirked evilly before pulling me out of the bathroom and sat me in a chair that was at the desk in the room. She walked away for a second before returning with a pair of scissors and a towel.
"Relax and get ready to say good bye to the old Clare Edwards."
I laughed then sat still as she started working on my hair. So I bet your asking why the sudden change in appearance. Well, me and Marissa have decided to runaway. We both agreed that we don't want to be famous singers for awhile and want to be normal 16 year old teenagers.
Ever since we became famous, the only thing we've been doing is working. Now we love the fans and working on music but lately we feel like we are being stripped of our teenage life and having no free time so we decided to runaway to my hometown, Toronto.
I was into thought until I heard Marissa say 'finish' and put a mirror in front of me. I gasped in surprise and happiness. She cut my hair a little above my shoulders and I loved it. I looked down and saw the long pieces of my old hair. I got out of my seat and gave her another hug. I'm kind of a hugger if you haven't notice.
"Okay. Now that we are done changing our appearance, let's get our bags and get going. It's a long drive to Toronto."
I nodded my head and went over to my bed. I kneeled down and grabbed mine and Marissa's packed bags out from under the bed. I grabbed my phone and purse before looking at Marissa.
She used to have light brown hair with some golden honey highlights but dyed it dark brown. She also cut her hair short so it was a little longer than my new hair cut. She also went from floral tops to wearing an Asking Alexandria t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and purple converse.
I went from leather and studded clothes to my original style; a floral dress with black leggings and a pair of white flats. But I did keep my leather jacket, so basically we switched our style from the other.
Marissa grabbed her car keys and took a deep breath, "Are we really doing this?"
"Yup. But Marissa if you don't want to..."
"No! I do just…nervous that's all. Your aunt knows we're coming right?"
"Yeah. She said we could use the guest bedrooms since she doesn't use them."
"Okay. Let's hit the road," she said in a 'western' voice.
I laughed at her before following her out the door. We walked to the back of the hotel and I'm guessing Marissa trade her car in for a '65 blue mustang. We looked around before putting our bags into the back seats of the car and getting in the front seats.
She closed her door and looked over at me, "Ready to start a new life, Clare?"
"As long as we stick together I am."
She smiled at me before turning on the car and driving out of the Hotel's parking lot. After driving through town for 15 minutes and stopping to get us snacks while getting gas, I looked out the window and saw a sign that said: You are now leaving Vancouver. Come back soon!
I smirked at the thought of not coming back, ever.
