A.N. I know all of the songs are real songs, but pretend the aren't... I'm going to say this right now, I own absolutely none of the songs!
"Ladies and Gentleman! Let's give it up for the Cole sisters!" The announcer yelled. Thousands of people screamed. 5 beautiful girls walked onto the stage. The camera zoomed in on each of them as the announcer read off their stats.
"Annalise Cole. The eldest at 16. She is our 'it' girl, all the girls want to be her and all the guys want to date her!" The camera zoomed in on a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Evelyn Cole. The 'perfect all American girl' and at 14, too!" This girl looked a lot like the first, same hair and eyes, the only difference was her face was rounder, with a bit of baby fat still...
"Abigail Cole. She just turned 13, making her the teen dream!" This girl had black hair which made her bright blue eyes pop.
"Emma Cole, the pop princess at 12!" This girl had blonde hair and blue eyes once again.
"Annabelle Cole, only 10, but she's making her way into the record books." Another black hair blue eyed beauty.
"And here they are! The twins!" Two more girls ran onto the stage. "First theres Ella, America's 8-year-old Angel!" The little blonde blue eyed girl smiled and waved, all sweet and innocent and blowing kisses... The camera moved onto the next girl, she had black hair, that curled just slightly, and bright, bright blue eyes, framed by dark lashes"And the youngest Cole sister, but definitely not the least. She writes all the songs! She's already starred in six movies! Released three vocal albums, three of which were without her sisters! Miss Addison Cole!" The crowd cheered louder than with any of the other girls.
Addison took the microphone from the poll and yelled out, "Hey everyone! How's it going tonight!" And then the music started to play and she went off singing a song, no eight year old should sing,
"For those who don't know me I can get a bit crazy, have to get my way, yep, 24 hours a day 'cause I'm hot like that..." And she went on and on. Once she finished, the other girls went, working their way up the line.
Ella with 'Holding out For A Hero'
Annabelle with 'Girlfriend'
Emma with 'Rich Girl'
Abigail with 'Animal'
Evelyn with 'All American Girl'
Annalise with California Gurls, with the others singing and dancing back up.
(A/N I'm going to do it now, right in order, by Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Saunders (On the Shrek soundtrack) Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stefani, Ke$ha, Carrie Underwood, and Katy Perry)
"So where are these 'California Gurls' today?" a woman's voice asked as the picture started to fade, and was replaced by some talk show host. "Well, it's been ten years to the date since the Cole Sister's last concert and we have the eldest, Mrs. Annalise Cole Colt here today, to talk about her and her sisters' lives and the disappearance of the youngest."
"Hey everyone!" A woman in her mid-twenties waved from the other couch in the room. I could tell it wasn't a set, and it looked really familiar, but I had no idea where it was.
"So Annalise, why don't you tell us all about the lives of your sisters..." The woman 'suggested'.
"Well, after Addison disappeared, we stopped performing... it just wasn't the same with out her... "
"Do we have any idea what happen to her yet?"
"No. All we can do is prey that she is safe after all these years..." She flicked a tear away. "Yeah right. You're happy Addison's gone. No more competition for top dog." I thought.
"Well, we all keep her in our hearts." There was silence, before Annalise went on.
"The rest of us see each other as much as we can, what with our busy lives and all, on birthdays and holidays especially... Anyway, Ella is eighteen now and is just dating, nothing serious, but she's looking around. She's produced seven albums after Addison disappeared and stared in three phenomenal movies!" I saw them all, weren't too great. "Her and Annabelle still live here in California along with myself, but in a separate house... Annabelle is twenty now and is also dating. She stopped singing and showbiz after Addison. So now she is working on getting her med degree and plans to become a pediatrician. Like I said, Ella and her share a house, that's only a few blocks away from mine.
"Emma is engaged now at twenty two to Matt Roberts, twenty four, the hockey player yes. They plan to be married sometime this spring, but are not sure on a date yet. They are living together in his house in Upper New York State... She continues to sing, but her only real concerts are the National Anthem before each of Matt's home games when the team invites her too.
"Abigail had gotten married, in fact only a month ago, its her anniversary tomorrow, so Happy Anniversary sis! But anyway, she married Thomas View, who stared in 'Journey through the Hills'... They just bought a house over in Litchfield, Connecticut and are planning to move in ASAP." Great. That's where I live. "She's twenty three and her husband is twenty six. She continues to sing and does charity events frequently.
"Evelyn is married and is expecting a daughter by the end of May, so we are all very excited for her. She's twenty four and her husband is twenty five. His name is Mark Davidson, he's a doctor of some kind, I don't see him much though since they have been down in Florida for the past year, since Evelyn's first major movie is premiering in the Disney World Park, where they also filmed. The film is called 'What Happens In The Park Stays In The Park', it's rated PG-13 and is a thriller, I think it looks really cool and I'm dying to go see it.
"As for me, here I am. I live in California in the house we grew up in with my husband and three year old daughter. My husband is James Park, yes he is the movie star. My daughter, Diana was named after my mother since she was born only a week after my mother and father were killed in a car crash with a drunk driver. She's going to be starting pre-school soon..."
"Addy. Let's go. You're going to be late for school." My aunt called, coming into the room, "Ah. Is this that ten year anniversary thing Kristina promised?"
"Yep." I answered, standing and walking over to my 'hair and make-up station'. I pulled my wavy black hair out of my face and into a high ponytail.
"Which one is that?" She asked.
"Annalise."
"Oh. She looks the same. Pretty with the same cruel edge to her."
"Why do you think I left?" I asked applying a little bit of mascara, which I didn't really need since my eyelashes were so dark, but it was habit after all those years.
"I guess she's enough to drive anyone away..." My aunt laughed. "Not to mention your mother..."
My mother pushed us all to a point where we couldn't be good, we had to be best. There was no choice. It was the only way to get mommy's love. I remember watching videos of her back when she was young with only a daughter or two. She was so sweet and kind. That was before the girls got famous. Then she became a monster.
"Hm." I pulled on a blue and pink sweater vest over my white button down long sleeved shirt. I adjusted it over my khaki pants. You call it dorky? So do I. But that's the school's dress code.
"The bus will be here soon." My aunt said standing up. She walked over to me and kissed my forehead, "I'm glad you came to me." And she left.
I looked into the mirror at myself. It had been ten years since I had last seen my sisters. It had been ten years since there were seven Cole Sisters. Now, one was missing. I was that one.
Welcome, to my life as a superstar in hiding.
