Ok, so this is my second fan fiction and I just wrote the other one yesterday. So yeah. I might be crazy but I didn't want to lose this idea. So here it is. Enjoy!
Fake a Smile, Blow a Kiss
Chapter 1: Two kinds of fame
Bright, flashing lights.
Loud, rude paparazzi.
Adoring, screaming fans.
Heavy makeup, and hair spray.
Extravagant, expensive clothing.
Hidden feelings and no one to talk to.
Fake a smile, blow a kiss.
That's on way to describe fame, but the other's that that comes from being born and raised in a small town where everybody knows everybody and nothing changes, no matter how small the change may be.
Being congratulated for being 1st in your class by just about everyone in town.
Being in the paper because you played in the high schools home coming football game and scored the winning touchdown.
Attending a high school with a population less than 400.
Knowing everybody since the day you were born.
Never moving away.
Living your life just like your parents did.
Worrying because they are considering putting in a 2nd traffic light because you don't want the 'traffic' to get worse.
Well, in life, things are thrown at you left and right and there's no pause button, or rest. It's not a game. People say you gotta 'play the game' of life. Well, newsflash. Life's not a game. Death is real. Pain is real. Emotions are real. They aren't some computer generated thing that can be undone simply because you want it to be changed. You have to deal with the outcome no matter what you think. It can be good, bad, heartbreaking, devastating, annoying, painful, or blissful. It just depends.
It doesn't matter if you're famous in Hollywood or famous in you small town of 3000 people. What matters is what you do with what you're given. Whether or not you stick with what you're got and play by the rules or if you completely change the game and make it what you want it to be. Do you do what you're told or do you follow your own beat? You can either stand up for yourself and what you believe in or you can sit back and let others run your life while you sit on the sidelines completely helpless because you don't want to upset someone else by speaking your mind for once in your life.
Or, you can change it up. You can start out as the follower. The one that does what you're told, no questions asked. Just try to please those around you before you even consider making you happy. Most of the time you're feelings are completely forgotten because you don't have time to please everyone and you, so you forget you.
But then, you finally have enough of it. You decide you can't take it anymore. You walk away and do what you want. Not what the world wants you to do. Not what your parents want you to do. Not what your friends want you to do. Not what you've been taught is 'right' to do. You blow it all off. You turn your back, walk out the door and make your own decisions because you're an adult and you can. You have your own mind and the freedom to speak your mind, but now, you also have the courage to speak your mind. You focus on you and your wants and needs. Yes, you might seem selfish and conceited for a little while. But then you tell them why you did it. Why you felt that you had to get out. You tell them how you felt like you were suffocating and needed to breathe and they get over it and accept it. And if not, you move on in your life. You finally decide that if they can't accept the new you that has a mind, then they're not worth your time. You worry at first about whether or not this is the right thing to do. But then something changes. Even in the small town you find that something can change. Some things change in a heartbeat, others take time. But you adjust. You finally grow up and learn. You realize your full potential and you go after it like it's nobody's business.
There are two people who have done before. Their names are Bella and Edward. And I'll tell you now. They did it and don't regret it. They thought for themselves and made their own decisions. They stopped taking life sitting down and grabbed it by the horns. They stopped putting on a show for the ones they love and showed their true selves.
For the first time in their lives, they smiled for real and fell in love.
