So Enjoy!
One pill.
One tiny, little pill.
One tiny, little, blue bill.
That's all it took to ruin my career…
I'm Clare Edwards, and this is the real story. Not the story that the paparazzi or news will tell you, the actual story; the true story. Now where do I start…
I wasn't always famous. Hell, I wasn't even talented enough to get in the talent show at school.
So how did I get a record deal worth 3 million dollars?
Beats me.
My family was the example of a perfect Christian family, the husband and wife who love each other deeply and their two perfect, beautiful daughters. Always going to church every Sunday and attending church camp during the summer. And things were like that, at least until before my 13 birthday…
Let's fast forward to after my sister got raped, after her suicide attempt, after her big move to Kenya.
My age? 15 years old. My location? Degrassi Community School, outside, sitting at a table reading a book. I don't know why, but I decided to skip 6th period and walk to the park. What a bore that was, so to pass time until 7th period I decided to listen to my iPod.
Adele's soothing voice came crashing into my ears.
I heard that you…
settled down, that you…
found a girl and you're…
married now-ow-ow…
I heard that your dreams came true…
guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you-ou-ou.
Old friend…
why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back…
or hide from the light.
I hate to show up out of the blue uninvited but I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face…
and that you'd be reminded that for me…
it isn't over.
Never mind I'll find
someone like you…
I wish nothing but the best…
for you too…
don't forget me, I beg.
I remember yo-
"What the hell!" really? REALLY? I looked up at the person who yanked my ear buds out of my ears and saw a tall guy wearing an Armani suit with his hair slicked back holding and iPhone and a brief case. "Sorry to interrupt but, I heard you singing and just had to come over here!"
Crap, I didn't even realize I was singing out loud!
"Uhhhhh…thanks, I guess…"
Well what was I supposed to say?
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Brian Larkins, CEO of Rolland Records. What's your name?" I don't know what made me tell him, but I did. "I'm Clare, Clare Edwards" How do I know this guy is really a record producer? What if he's just a con man? So many 'what ifs' were going through my head, I could barely think anymore.
"I think you have real talent Clare, listening to you hit all those notes in that Adele song was absolutely amazing! If you let me sign you to R.R. then I will guarantee you that you will be the next Katy Perry. What do you say?"
Thinking about all of the places this could get me. Leaving Degrassi. Fame. Fortune. All seemed glamorous. So what did I say?
"I'm in"
Those two words changed my life forever.
A/N: So I really hope that you liked it! I know this chapter's short but it's the first chapter, the ones after this will be longer. I'll be posting new chapters every Friday.
