Baby You Light Up My World Like Nobody Else

Part 1

"Cameron! Get your ass down here!" My mum screamed from downstairs. I sighed. Welcome to my life. I get screamed at by my mum on a daily basis, I don't really consider her a mother to me anymore. Not since she changed. My Dad on the other hand however is my rock. Loves me for who I am and will do anything to protect me. He was hardly ever around through. You see he worked with singers, he would write their music for them. He had worked with McFly, The Wanted and JLS. I hardly ever saw him. I lived in London with my family that consists of me, mum, Dad and my Brother Jesse. Me and Jesse got on well, better than any siblings I had ever met. I guess it was due to our whole family falling apart.

I got up out of my comfy chair and made my way down the stairs. Just because my family were falling apart doesn't mean we had no money. Awh hell we had a lot of money. Both my parents had pretty good jobs, my dad is a songwriter and my mum is a lawyer. I was pretty well off.

"Cameron Elizabeth Rose get your sorry ass down here!" My mum shouted just as I rounded the corner into the kitchen where she was working over the stove and my Dad was sitting in a chair rubbing his eyes.

"I'm here now!" I screamed back at her, "Daddy!" I cried as I launched myself into his arms. I felt his warm embraced and felt instantly soothed. My Dad, Jesse and performing were my whole world.

"Hey Cammie." He was tired I could tell. He had been working so hard with this new band. I walked out of embrace and walked towards the cupboards and pulled out a cup and started to make my father a cup of coffee.

"Do I not get one?" My mum asked from her position in the kitchen.

"Hell no." I heard her intake some breath to scream at me but my Dad stopped her. After I had made the coffee I handed to my Dad.

"So what do you want with me then?" I bluntly asked my mum.

"Well you ungrateful mare I was going to give you a job-"

"Uh no you weren't I was." My Dad butted in. I raised my eyebrows.

"Go on…" I was always fascinated by my Dad's job.

"Well as you know I'm working with this new band and well I could really do with some help. Would you mind."

"Over Summer?" I asked.

"Yes over summer." It would mean I wouldn't be spending so much time with my friends but who I was I to turn down such an offer.

"Of course I will."

"Thank you Sweetie." Out the corner of my eye I saw my mum mimic my Dad. I rolled me eyes and focused on Dad.

"So who is this band."

"One Direction." I shrugged. I knew they were good and they were of The X Factor but I wasn't a regular watcher.

"Cool." I kissed my Dad on the cheek and left the kitchen. I wondered back up to my room and sat on my bed. I thought about myself and my life. I'm 19 years young and about to attend Uni in September. I had taken a gap year to focus on my music and go around the world with some friends. I turned 19 in June, it was now start of July. Me and my Dad were the performers. I dance, sing, act and play the guitar and the piano. I also write a few of my own songs but nothing like my Dad's. Jesse was 23 and was studying at University for some I.T course, something that completely baffled me because of his gorgeous voice. I had 3 amazing friends, Lucy, Melody and Brittany. I have known all of them since I was 11 when we joined the same secondary school. They are amazing and have been one of my escapes from my hag of a mother. I reached under my bed and pulled out my guitar. Signed by my friends and with random drawings on. This was my most prized belonging. I got up and closed my door and sat back down on my bed. I began to strum a random song. I realized what song I was playing and I began to sing along. That was the ting with me I would just start playing a song without even realizing it, it was a sort of instinct I suppose. Currently I was singing Mine by Taylor Swift. I sang softly with my eyes closed. I drifted into a world of my own just singing and playing a song. I finished and I opened my eyes a small smile on my lips. I heard someone clapping and turned around to see Jesse standing in my doorway. My smile widened and I motioned for him to come sit down. I rested my guitar on my lap as he sat down on my double bed.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Nothing just want to catch up with my ickle sister." I slapped his arm. He would always call me ickle and I hated it.

"Dude I'm 19 now I'm so so 'ickle' anymore." I used hand quotations when I said 'ickle'. He laughed.

"No you're not." I laughed at him.

"I can't wait to get to university. You know to get away from here."

"I know the feeling but until then you have that job of yours."

"Yeah I suppose." He raised his eyebrows.

"You not looking forward to it?"

"I am! I just don't really know who One Direction are." A grin spread across his face.

"You will soon enough." It was my turn to raise my eyebrows.

"And what is that supposed to mean?"

"Oh nothing." I just punched his arm

"Play a song." A grin formed on my face. Me and Jesse were constantly singing together. We just loved it so much. I stood up and walked over to my piano, it was only a small but one but a piano is a piano, and began to play Rolling in the deep. Ever since it came out me and Jesse had harbored a love for it. I looked over and he was grinning at me. I started singing the first verse. When it came to finally I sang quieter and Jesse started to sing. He dropped off at the bridge and I sang again on my own. At the chorus we both sang our hearts out. It carried on like this and towards the end we sang together. The song ended and we both burst into laughter. That was the amazing thing about us we could just laugh together at anything.

"That was good."

"It was, now get out of my room!" He laughed and raised his arms up and walked out my room closing the door behind him. What he said about One Direction had me thinking. Maybe they were amazing I just had no idea. I shook my head and fell onto my bed listening to my parents argue. A regular in my house. I grabbed my pillow and pulled it over my head trying to drown out the sound. Maybe having a job was a good idea.
