A/n. Hey everybody. Just a quick notice, this story is completely and totally dedicated to my best friend Laura. We've been friends since we were 5 and she's been with me through everything. I couldn't ask for a better friend, I don't know what I'd do without her. So thanks Laura!

Chapter 1. Taking over me.

LPOV

"Laura, two minutes hun!" my agent shoved me out of my dressing room and looked intently at my outfit.

I had my favourite dress on. The top was silky, glittery, black and had straps on. The skirt part was red and had layers of material on it. It kind of suited the song I was about to sing.

The only bad point about the dress was that it didn't show my tattoo. It was on my lower back, it was a picture of a dark, blood red dragon with "Faith" in Chinese writing.

I got it done for my 19th birthday, mom totally freaked out. That's how old I am by the way, only 19. Only 19 but a star.

My hip-length, almost black hair was left down but it stood out fantastically thanks to my dark pink and purple highlights. My make-up was light but noticeable, my eyes were smoky grey and my lips were a dark pinky-purple.

"You look amazing as always! Now get on stage and sing your ass off!" Linda was so subtle. Linda was my ninja-agent, she made me famous. She threw a microphone at me and pushed me on-stage.

As soon as my fans caught sight of me, all I could hear was thunderous clapping, whistling and screaming. Man, I loved being popular!

As rehearsed, I stood in the middle of the stage as the lights went down and the music started. On cue, I brought the mic to my lips and started singing.

You don't remember me, but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream, and dream I do
The lights began flashing and I starting swaying to the music.

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me
I lowered my voice and made it angelic again

Have you forgotten all I know, and all we had
You saw me mourning my love for you, and touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many fears inside that are
Just like you are taking over

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me

I believe in you
(I believe in you)
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me (taking over me)
You're taking over me (taking over me)
Taking over me

The lights went out a soon as I sang the last line. The only bit of light was on the giant TV board above my head, all that showed up were my hazel-green eyes.

I walked off the stage and as soon as I was off, the lights came back on. I heard shocked gasps as they realised I wasn't there. Gullible suckers!

I walked into my dressing room and I was bombarded by my friends. There was Kara, Lindsey, Mary and Dana. They were all bleached blondes, anorexic and were all around 5 foot. I was a good 5'9".

They all looked like clones if you ask me but they were okay friends I suppose, as long as there were no boys around.

"Come on Lo-Lo, we're going clubbing. Can you sneak out?" Mary asked in a very whiny voice.

"Never call me that again. My name is Laura, use it! And of course I can sneak out, have you ever known a time when I haven't. You know where to wait." I whispered as I knew that Linda was just outside the door with Harvey.

Harvey was my bodyguard and a good one too. He was extremely muscled and kinda cute too but he was really strict and would probably freak out if he knew I went clubbing every night.

As if on cue, Harvey walked in the door. He never spoke; he just lifted a hand and curled his index finger in, the hand gesture to say "come on".

I sighed, hugged my friends one by one and slumped my shoulder as I walked out. This was my act every night. It made all the adults less suspicious. Even though they had absolutely no reason to be, I was 19 and legally a woman.

Except with these people I was treated as if I was three. Harvey held the door open while I climbed into the limo. The drive back home was silent and seemed to drag on forever. When we finally got to my house, Harvey walked me to my door and then turned and walked straight back to the limo.

That guy seriously needed to get a life.

I ran inside the house and was about to bolt upstairs when my mom called me into the kitchen. I don't know why, she never really bothered.

"Yeah mom?" I asked when I got to the breakfast bar.

"Where are you going hunny?" She asked, getting some bottled water from the fridge.

"I just got back from the concert, I'm going to bed." I answered, yawning to make it seem real.

"Oh, okay then. I'm going to dinner with Pedro in a few minutes so don't wait up." She called, walking out of the room. See what I mean? The woman just does not care.

I can't really complain though, if she became more observant then I could never sneak out as much as I do. As soon as I got to my room, I ran into my walk-in closet and picked out my outfit for clubbing. When I had finished I looked in the mirror.

I had on black skinny jeans with black high heeled boots that went just above my knee and a black long sleeved fixed top with a dark red corset.

I left my make-up and hair the way it was and opened my bedroom window. There was a giant oak tree that grew right next to my window; it was great for sneaking out. I was also a good acrobat, so swinging out of my window and down the tree was no problem at all.

I speed walked down the street until I got to a sleek black porches and I jumped in. this was Dana's car and we always took it because it was the best next to mine, a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo lp560-4. It was my baby and I swore to killanyone that touched it.

"So what's with the emo look Laura?" Kara asked. I glared at her as we speeded down the street, dodging traffic; this was New York for god's sake.

"Just because I like to wear black does NOT mean that I'm emo. You're just jealous because I look good in this colour and you look like a blown up bin bag in it." I gave her a smug smile and she didn't talk to me for the rest of the journey. Lindsey however, continued to cackle about it for the whole twenty minute drive.

God these people were annoying!

As soon as we got to my favourite club Ice, I hopped out of the car and strolled right up to the bouncer. He let us in right away and I flashed him my signature smile.

An hour later, we all had a drink and were on the dance floor. We'd only had about three shots of vodka each and the girls were already tipsy. Well, not tipsy, more like almost drunk. I was fine and I'd had about five so far.

"Hey, wanna dance?" A husky voice whispered from behind me. I turned around and saw a kinda cute guy, he couldn't have been more that 23 with blonde hair and green eyes. I nodded my head hard and he chuckled wrapping his arms around my waist. We were dancing for about thirty seconds before he dragged me over to the bar.

"Just give us a bottle of vodka, okay?" Sexy dancing guy asked the bar tender. The guy behind the bar went into the back room for a second and came back out with a small bottle. Sexy dancing guy gave him a wad of cash and led me over to an empty booth.

"Here, take a real swig of this." He slid the bottle over to me. I unscrewed the lid and took a huge gulp. The alcohol burned my throat as it went down. I coughed and he laughed.

"Well, you sure do seem like the type to try anything."

"You betcha!" I coughed again and he chuckled.

"Well then, meet me tomorrow at this address. If you get lost then just call the number." He handed me a slip of paper with an address and some numbers on it.

"Thanks. I will!" Finally, something to do other than hang out with the clones.

"See ya round beautiful. You can keep the drink, it's on me." He slid out of the booth and disappeared into the crowd.

This night was awesome. I get a number off of some cute guy and a free drink. I chugged the rest of the bottle and immediately regretted it because of the burning.

By this time I was starting to see double so I decided to go find the girls. Dana was the driver so she should still be sober. I hope. I caught sight of Lindsey and I grabbed her arm.

"Where's Dana and the others?" I asked, my voice slurring. She giggled and reached up to kiss the guy I noticed she was with.

"They all found dates for the night. You're on your own Lo-Lo!" she giggled again at my stupid nickname and then waltzed off with her "date".

Great! Jut great! I was all alone in a crowded club with no way home. It's happened before; I'll just have to find a ride. I scanned the room and noticed a guy with bad acne sitting on his own at the end of the bar.

"Hey sugar." I said as I walked over to him. He looked at me and his eyes literally bugged out of his head.

"H-hi, you're L-Laura Faith right?" he stuttered. I laughed, flirting was so easy.

"Yeah, listen. My friends ditched me and I really need a ride home…" I trailed off and gave him the puppy dog eyes that no-one can resist.

"I have a ride; I can give you a car- s-sorry. I meant, I-I have a car, I can give you a ride." He stuttered and I nodded gratefully.

I climbed into his beat-up Honda and the ride back to my place was filled with awkward small talk and half-hearted directions from me.

When we got to my place, I thanked him and gave him a quick kiss on his temple, the only place that wasn't covered with spots. I climbed out of the car and waited until he had driven off before I walked the block back to my house.

I was drunk but I wasn't that stupid to give him my real address. Sheep like that always come back.

I reached the house in about five minutes and climbed back up the tree- thankfully not hurting myself- and into my bedroom. I kicked off my boots before climbing into bed fully clothed.

I sighed and took out the piece of paper that sexy dancing guy had given me. I studied it for a while before putting it on my dresser and turning over.

My name is Laura Rose Faith and I have a great life. But this point was where it all went wrong.

A/n. okay, so I know that this is more like a prologue but it's too long so I made it into a chapter. Thanks for reading and please review.

The song was Taking Over Me by Evanescence by the way.
