Her eyes shot open when she felt the train jolt to a stop. She shifted in her seat which caused her hat and her hood to fall off her head. Her eyes widened when she saw that the people who were on the train with her seemed modern because of their clothing. Mitchie's breath started to quicken and her chest was heaving. A girl who was about thirteen looked towards Mitchie and her eyes widened as well. Her mouth gaped and she started to squeal. Mitchie winced, but sighed. She jumped slightly when she opened her eyes and saw her right in front of her.
"Oh my God." The girl squealed. "Michelle Torres. I love you. Your music is amazing. Will you sign my iPod?" she said quickly and excitedly. Michelle, eye roll, smiled politely and nodded grabbing the iPod and the sharpie marker from the girl.
"Who do you want me to make it out to?" Michelle, gag, asked. The girl breathed out and turned towards Michelle, for the love of-
"Marianne, please. I love you Michelle. Your music is such an inspiration and I know that you'll be a legend in the next 15 years." Marianne said. Michelle, snort, smiled at the girl, flattered and returned her iPod.
"Thanks. Really." Michelle, oh my fucking-, said with a smile. Marianne sat back in her seat next to her mother and Mitchie, content sigh, slumped back into her seat. She took her phone out of her pocket and sighed heavily when she saw all of the missed calls and voicemails she had gotten either from Jared, producer, and Marcus, manager. Mitchie put her phone into her duffel and leaned the back of her head onto the cold window.

Let us find out more about this Michelle Torres shall we? Before Michelle was discovered, she was Mitchie Torres, a small town girl that lived in a small town in Newark, New Jersey. She was loved by every person that she talked to and loved even by the bugs.
Then Jared heard her singing in one of her YouTube videos and contacted her right away. He asked for information and told Mitchie that he was coming over to listen to her sing live. Mitchie was ecstatic, oblivious to the fact of what she would be getting herself into. She told her mom and begged her to take her shopping for new clothes shoes and everything. After, she went over to her best friend's house, Caitlyn Gellar, and told her about it. they squealed and jumped around for fifteen minutes and then, Mitchie excused herself to tell her beloved boyfriend. Shane Grey.
She ran to his house, which was only 5 minutes away and knocked loudly when she got there. A wide grin and light eyes were what Shane opened the door to. Mitchie jumped into his arms abruptly and she told him the news immediately. Shane congratulated her and told her to go for it and give it her best. This was what Mitchie thought was all she needed.
Finally it was the day for Jared to come over and listen to her sing live. She sang an original son by her and wowed Jared. He gave her a warming smile and told her that she was amazing at singing and that she would be a huge hit. Mitchie was so happy at herself that she completely forgot about her old life. This caused her and Shane to break up. Unaffected, she shrugged it off and went to the limo that was waiting in front of her house to bring her to the recording studio.
A contract was shoved into her face. She smiled widely and signed it without even caring to read the very important piece of paper. That's when Michelle Torres was born and Mitchie Torres was buried into the ground. And the life of being a celebrity turned into the worse.
She was bossed around and she wasn't able to do what she wanted. All her songs which were composed by her were all revised into something that meant stupid or was nothing close to what the original thing was. So, she rebelled. She didn't show up at the recording studio for three weeks and when she did, she purposely made her voice dull and boring. This ended into her almost getting sued and getting fired from the label. Why didn't she sue them instead, you ask? Now she can. But back then she would've gotten sued back for a something she didn't do. See how insanely twisted her celebrity life was?
But it wasn't always this bad. For the first couple of weeks, it was luxurious. A limo was always waiting in front of her new mansion, courtesy of Rock Away Records. Everything that a girl could want was always granted. From shoes, to clothes, to iPods, to make-up to a convertible car. But when her record was at the top of the charts, everything stopped.
She was kicked out of the mansion and moved into a cheap apartment room because Jared said she wasn't able to pay for it. Her convertible was almost taken if Mitch- excuse me, Michelle, hadn't convinced the car dealers that she would pay for it. Sucks right? Nope. The apartment was 2 hours from the recording studio, and she had to be there at 6 o'clock sharp every morning. After a year of this, she was fed up. But she did nothing to change it. When she did try to make Jared change the rules, she cowered away from him, scared f what her consequences was. 2 years later she was here, running away from her fame, and going back to the life she loved.

The train slowed down until it came to a complete stop. Mitchie sat up from her seat and looked out of the window. She saw a big sign that said, Welcome to Newark. Stay for long, and Mitchie's mouth formed a wide grin. She heard the PA say that they were in Newark and the second that the doors to the train slid open, she sprinted out of the train an up to the city of Newark.
Once she was on the top of the stairs, she stopped and put her hood and hat on before walking up the last couple steps and stopping to look around. She smiled widely again and breathed in the wonderful smell of Newark.
Welcome home Mitchie.
