Yeah... hiya, guys! I'm trying this out. We never really found out much about Eden, so I guess I'm making a backstory for her.
Disclaimer: I do not own Instant Star. I do, however, own the Taylor family excluding Eden.

My parents' dream was to have two children. They were strict Catholics and they wanted to name their children after the first people- Adam and Eve. When my sister was born, they named her Eve Elizabeth, to go along with their plan. And when I was born, the dream ended. I wasn't an Adam, and they were disappointed. So they called me Eden, the garden where Adam and Eve lived.
They tried and tried to have another baby- a boy this time, their Adam, but no luck. My mother was not pregnant again. So it was just us two girls- Eve and Eden. We were friends, only two years apart, and we played together and taught each other things. We were so different, though, in appearances and otherwise.
Eve had dark brown hair. She was more of an exotic beauty, while I was the cute little curly-haired blue-eyed blonde. She was a ballerina- the perfect image of what my parents wanted for their daughter. And she was the best in her class of uncoordinated five-year-olds. Even then she had perfect balance and accelerated to the next level quickly. And I was always compared to her. Eve sang in church choir. Eve got straight A's. Eve is beautiful.
Oh, I was smart and pretty and all of those things as well. But I never measured up to Eve. Never. I tried so hard. I joined her ballet class and worked my hardest, practicing late at night until my parents told me to stop thumping the floor with my toe shoes. But Eve was so careless- never practiced, never studied, and she was automatically amazing.
Me, the girl who worked for it, who really tried, got nothing. My parents loved me, there was no question there. They never hurt me, never ignored me. But it still seemed like Eve was always better and they wanted me to be exactly like her.
You'd think she'd be awful when our parents weren't looking, but she wasn't. She was one of those goody two shoes who always did the right thing. And people didn't hate her for it. Everyone wanted to be like Eve, everyone wished they were Eve.
We had a perfect family. Nothing was ever wrong.
It was scary how perfect we were.

What did you think?? I have another chapter. I wrote this a looong time ago but I never put it up.
