My sister decided that she was going to write a "The Voice" fan fiction. Yay. I hope you enjoy it, and please don't hate her.

This was not my plan. I didn't want to be here, singing in front of four global superstars. It just... ended up this way. It's a long story, so I hope you have time.

Alex was excited. His face was lit up, and I enjoyed seeing my brother so happy, since I didn't get to see him smile much anymore. My 24 year old brother was auditioning to audition for The Voice USA. Since it had been just the two of us for six years now, I had come with him because I was scared to be anywhere else. I was 13 and had had a bad childhood. Yes, I didn't consider my self a child anymore. Not after what had happened.

I put my earbuds in and turned on Beyoncé's If I Were A Boy while Alex signed in at the front desk. I found my self singing along in a few moments' time. About three-fourths of the way through, a man walked up to me.

"What's your name, girl?"

"Um, Jenna. Jenna Laken. Why?"

"You have a very pretty voice. Come with me."

I looked around. Alex wouldn't be back for at least half an hour. He was always telling me to 'open up and take a risk' so I did. I followed that man.

Two men and a woman sat at a desk. I heard a door slam, and the man I had followed was gone. The panel looked up at me unhappily.

"Name?"

"Jenna Laker."

"So, are you going to sing already, Jenna?"

"Um, sure?"

The first song that popped into my head was If I Was A Boy, so I started to belt it out. (See, Alex? I could take a risk!) My family has been called talented in the musical department; both Alex and I have good voices. And so I just sang, not a care in the world. I just wished that I could feel that way all the time.

After I was done, the woman lowered her glasses down off her nose. "How old are you, child?"

"Thirteen, ma'am."

They started at me in astonishment, then turned and talked in low voices."

After about five minutes, the turned back towards me. "People aren't supposed to audition for The Voice until they're 15-"

"Oh, so that's what I was doing!"

"As I was saying, you aren't 15 yet, but we're going to make an exception for you. That was quite amazing, young lady."

"Thanks."

I was led back out to the waiting room, where I found Alex.

"Where have you been?"

"Auditioning. I think. Maybe? Well, whatever happened, I'm in! They're letting me audition on season 7 of The Voice! You?"

"They didn't like it. i guess I- wait. You're auditioning. Seriously?"

"Yep. Is that a problem? If it is I can always decline-"

"No, it's amazing!"

"Yay! So I'm allowed to?"

"If they're okay with the fact that you're only 13, I don't think there'd be a problem."

"Awesome!"

Now all I had to do was audition.

Okay, Chapter 2 should be out in, like, 2 days. At the most. My sister is a LITTLE obsessed. Hope you liked it!
