Heyy, I am Shelley, I turned 16 in November last year, its now January, I used to live in Australia until a couple of months ago, my mum died in a car accident because she was really upset, she had just found out that dad had a mental condition, he now lives in a mental hospital. So its just my sister, we have been keeping each other company, I have a boyfriend, matt, I really want to leave him but I am scared he will do something to my friends or kimmy if I do. Background check on kimmy, she is 19, pretty awesome; she lived in America with mum and dad when she was little, before I was alive. We used to go to America every few years to see mums best friend and see some of our family, I can't really remember, apparently she has four boys, but I didn't meet them, just Mrs J and Mr J, or Denise and Kevin, I don't even know their last names, I guess when you have known them for so long you learn to call them what they tell you to call them, but we haven't been to see them in the past few years, mums been busy with work, and so has dad. We are pretty rich, and when mum died and dad left, we were split the money, which was a lot!!!
Kimmy turned on the family computer, it was basically mum and dads because we both had our own laptops, this was the first time we had turned it on since mum and dad left. While kimmy was waiting for the computer to load I read mums letter, she died slowly, she was stuck in the car so one of the ladies there wrote down what she said, I was reading the one she gave me, over and over again.
Dear Shelley,
To start off, I really love you and I hope you know that no matter what you do, I am proud of you. I was going to tell you when I got home, dad is sick, the doctors are putting him into a hospital for the mentally disabled. I know this is hard, I am gone, and dad cant remember us, heres what I want you to do. I am telling your sister the same thing. First of all I want you and kimmy to stick together, don't fight, break up, or give up on each other. Second thing- I want you to move, move to a big city and go to as many auditions as you can, give out your demo to a heap of people. I know you want to, don't let anyone tell you that your not good enough, because I know you are. Third thing, stay in touch with everyone, Aunties, Uncles, Grandmas, Cousins, Family Friends. Fourth- I need one of you… or both of you to call Denise, tell her that I am going to be watching over her, that her normal day, is amazing, that she is the strongest woman I have ever met. Fifth, always remember that I love you, that I am watching over you as well, that no matter where you are in the world I am going to be there standing beside you, guiding you through it, stay faithful to god and live your life. And finally, Find a man who treats you with as much care and love as your dad gave to me, its worth it, believe me.
I guess you are wondering what happens to all of our stuff, well, you and kimmy need to split it up, or keep it together live together for now. I want you to have my purity ring that I had when I was your age, I was going to give it to you on the weekend, you know where it is.
I love you so much Shelley and I am going to be watching over you, don't tell yourself that you are a failure, because your not, don't let anyone at school tell you that you are ugly or dumb, because I know you know the truth.
You are the most beautiful girl, the best daughter a mother could ask for, I hope that I was the best mother a daughter could ask for, because I tried, I really did.
Love Mum.
P.S- don't forget, move, audition, give out your demos, because you girls rock! And I love you.
No matter how many times I read it I cried,
Shelley- Kimmy
Kimmy- yeah?
Shelley- We need to call Denise
Kimmy- I was about to say the same thing, mums emails came up and there is one from her.
Shelley- we will have to wait a bit, timing is different there
Kimmy- yeah ok
I started to read the letter again, mum kept saying, move to a big city, find an awesome job.
Shelley- We should move to America.
Kimmy- what
Shelley- we should move to America
Kimmy- why?
Shelley- mum said to move, to a big city, to give out demos, audition for things, well, America is the perfect place for that.
Kimmy- Your right, that's a great idea
Shelley- how bout we talk to grandma and grandpa tonight, we are going to their place for tea.
Kimmy- ok, I am sure they wont mind.
We called denise and she told us about a house next door to hers, we buy it, it comes with furniture and denise set it all up with us
FF- getting off the plane.
We get off the plane in America. I am wearing skinny jeans, a top and ballet flats, with my big sunnies and bag and kimmy is wearing short shorts and a sleeveless top.
Shell- Wow I never knew how exhausting plane trips were, I am stuffed.
Kimmy-yeah same, so all we have to do is find a person holding our name up (looks around) There, That's us Kimmy and Shelley Fitzgerald.
Shelley- Really I thought we were Elmo and Barney.
Kimmy- Ha-ha very funny (we walk up to the man) Hi I'm Kimmy
Shell- and I am Shelley, nice to meet you (I shake his hand)
Driver- Nice to meet you, so you're here to see Denise Jonas?
Kimmy- yeah, we are
Driver- Follow me, so you don't have any bags?
Kimmy- no we don't.
The driver opens up the door of a limo and gestures for us to get in. Just so you girls know, we are picking up Nick and his girlfriend on the way, ok.
Kimmy- Ok thanks
Shell- thanks
Ok so did I hear that driver say Denise JONAS, then nick wow how cool would it be to have the same names as the Jo Bros. we are just listening to music on my iPod, sharing headphones. We stop and someone opens the door quickly and sharply. A curly haired boy hops in the car and sits on the other side facing us, he doesn't acknowledge us, just stares out the window, Oh my god, they don't share the same names as the jonas brothers… THEY ARE THE JONAS BROTHERS. A girl hops in, she looked like miley Cyrus, she didn't say anything to us either just sat as far away from nick as she could get and looked out the other side of the window. OMG not only is nick Jonas in the car with us 'sigh', but Miley Cyrus is too!!! Omg, Omg ok breathe.
I put both earphones in my ears and kimmy got her iPod out, we both listened to our music.
Driver- Where to nick?
Nick- Miley Needs to go home, please *he said coldly*
Driver- ok, umm yeah
We drop miley off and I get out my phone
"Text Convo"
Shell- umm wow, I know he doesn't know us but he could at least acknowledge us. But OMG nick Jonas! Denise Jonas, we are going to be close to the Jonas brothers! Omg omg omg I am so excited, why didn't you tell me.
Kimmy- read the message you just sent me, and you will know why I dint tell you.
Shell- ok, so I am a little excited.
Kimmy- ha-ha yeah a little, omg he is crying, you should say something.
Shell- ummm you sure?
Kimmy- yeah, go for it
Shell- Ok, I guess it couldn't hurt.
I put my phone and my iPod away.
