A/N: Early update! I don't even care if I didn't get any reviews for the last chapter, it sucked :P
Well anyways, hope you like this chapter! I think that it's okay, could've come out better.
Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi, Selena Gomez's "Love You like A Love Song", MTV, or anything else mentioned :)
Thinking back…I don't know what made me so amazed with Hollywood life.
Everyone's fake, everything's fake, the whole city is just fake.
Yet I still fit in.
Even though I was completely real.
Well…
My body was real, my attitude…yeah, not so much…
I can still remember the very first meeting with the record producers. We were trying to come up a sound for me.
After all…it's the music that really makes the artist.
"We need something new! Something fresh! Something… something…"
"Something no one's done before."
"Exactly! Good thinking Clare!"
I'm in a huge room in an even bigger building in Los Angeles! I still can't believe my parents said yes!
*flashback*
My parents were sitting in the living room, it was the first time that they were together without ripping each others heads off.
"Mom…dad… this is Brian Larkins, he's the CEO of Rolland Records." I said nervously, stuttering a bit.
"Clare? What's going on? Why are we here?" my mom asked me.
"Well, you see-", Brian interrupted me before I could finish.
"Mr. and Mrs. Edwards. You're daughter Clare has a remarkable talent, singing. If you let me take her to Los Angeles and get her an album then I can assure you that she will be a star."
"What about school?" my dad asked.
"There will be a private tutor so she can continue her education, it doesn't interfere with her studio time so she will be able to finish high school."
"Who will take care of her?" my mom asked.
"Everyone at R.R. will watch her and make sure that she stays out of trouble and keep all information away from the press if they hound her."
"I'm not so sure about this honey. You're only 15 and you've seen the things that happen to young celebrities! Drugs, jail, rumors, I just don't want you to miss out on a normal life."
Ah my mom…always looking out for me.
"Mom! Dad! Please! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me! Think of all the places this could get me! Please!" I was begging by now.
A shared glance.
A deep breath.
They looked me in the eyes and said "Okay, you can go to L.A."
"YES-"
"But! You have to call every week, stay out of trouble, AND if your grades start slipping then you're coming back here and going to Degrassi again."
"Okay! Yes! Whatever it takes!"
I was as happy as a kid on Christmas, I also didn't know what I was getting myself into.
*end of flashback*
And now I'm in L.A. and Brian, David (the sound booth guy), and I were trying to come up with a sound for my album.
"Well I just want to sing songs that people just want to dance too, pop with some techno and a little rock." Mixing all those sounds together gave me chills down my back (the good kind of chills).
"You know…that doesn't sound too bad. What do you think David?"
"I think that sounds awesome!" David is the typical California guy with the blonde hair, blue eyes, tan skin, ripped body, the only difference is that he has a LOT of tattoos! And he always wears fedora hats…I think he's gay.
"Okay then! We'll start recording next week!"
I 'm so exited!
2 weeks later…
My new single drops today. My palms are sweaty, my heart is racing, I am literally shaking!
What if people don't like it?
What if I'm getting my hopes up for nothing?
What if-
"Clare! Don't be so nervous! You sound great, the beat is great, the lyrics are amazing, you look stunning in the video, people will love it!" David said. David is the sweetest guy! And I was right about him being gay, his boyfriends name is Riley. He's a professional football player, the only player that's gay and everyone still loves him. Including me (he also went to Degrassi, I wonder how I missed him?).
"Thanks David! Oh , shhhh! It's on MTV!"
"Hey! I'm Ali Bhandari from the hit show "How to be Indie", and I have with me Eli Goldsworthy from the band Fighting Darkness and his band mates Drew Torres, Adam Torres, and Declan Coyne! Now, we have a new single from a new artist from Canada named Clare Edwards! So here's the world premiere of her song and music video 'Love You like A Love Song'".
The beginning scene starts out with me at a Japanese karaoke bar getting up onto the stage to begin.
Damn, I look good!
Okay, the beat's starting, here we go…
It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
Constantly, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hyptonized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are...I want you to know baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
No one can hold.
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on
(ooooooooh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby
(ooooooooh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby
(I love you, I love you)
I, I love you like a love song, baby
(like a love song, like love song)
And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I love you...like a love song...
I was speechless…
I looked amazing in the video, the song was amazing, everything was just…incredible.
Even Ali's, Eli's, Drew's, Adam's, and Declan's jaws were dropped!
"Woah…that was…incredible! I see a star in the making! What about you guys?" Ali asked.
"Definitely!" Adam said.
"Absolutely!" Drew said.
"Couldn't have said it better myself." Declan said.
"…"
"What about you Eli?" Ali asked.
"…"
"I think he's in shock." Adam joked.
"Well! What do you guys, the fans, think? Tell us on ! We'll tally up the votes and tell you the results after the commercial break!"
The commercials came on and I was ecstatic!
"Well, looks like you're a hit!" Brian exclaimed.
No shit I'm a hit! I made Eli Goldsworthy speechless!
The next day I was going to go do an interview with MTV about the music video, my life, my interests, ect.
To say I was excited would be an understatement.
Who knew the excitement would have an expiration date…
