Instant Star

Chapter 1: 24 Hours

I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta

24 Hours: Alexz Johnson

Bella Swan walked into G-Major one of the top recording companies in world to date. At first is started as just a small recording company run by a former magazine publisher named Darius Mills. Then he got a few big contracts and invented Instant Star which was a talent search looking for young musical acts.

That little cheesy talent search gave one of the most famous girls there first shot. Jude Harrison's was the first Instant Star winner and the only won to stand the test of time. When her first CD was released it boomed and the number didn't look good but people grew to love it. Jude second CD was so good that it hit number one on the billboards for weeks and turned gold. But he third CD was the one that started all her other best one because that one was her first CD that went platinum. Since then all her Singles were number one and her CDs were platinum.

When Jude was 19 years old she was married to her producer and true love Tommy Quincy. Soon after at the age of 20 she gave birth to there son Tommy Harrison Quincy. At the age of 35 Jude Harrison dropped out of the public eye as a singer but took over G-Major with Tommy. With the help of there son who now 28 year old they invented Instant Star: The World Search.

That is how Bella got involved in the music business and was the first winner. With the encouragement of her father (more like force) and her best friend Jacob she signed up. She never thought she win or even get a chance to sing. She can stilled picture the day of the finally almost 3 weeks ago and the day her life changed with just one stoke of her guitar.

Flashback

She was there at the final night of the Instant Star: The World Search and she was scared. At first she didn't care because she wasn't doing this for her but she really did love music and it was the thing the kept her together. The more day that passed made her realize how important this contest was and how much she wanted to win. So with that realization here she was. She was freaking out in the backstage girl's bathroom and she was torn in two. She could going out there and sing her heart out or she could jump out of that window and run. The were both very tempting choices and as she was about to make the wrong one Jacob walked in to the bathroom. Not just any bathroom though the GIRL'S bathroom. "Jacob what the HELL are you doing in this bathroom?!" she said almost shouting at him as her face turned pink. "Bella I heard you freaking out and I came to snap you out of it. Your great Bella and you can do this because you one of the best singer/song writer's out there. You said you wanted to get away from Forks because of the memories and here's you chance." Jacob said with light in his eyes. He was right im so many way and that scared because now she had no real reason to run from this. So she did the only thing she could at the moment: she splashed cold water on her face and watch out to the stage.

She grabbed her guitar off her back and her looked out at the people who decided her fate. Somehow she began to sing the song she had written for the finally.

The phone is of the hook
and Jamie's got a gun.
And Sherry's in the river
and the river is gonna run again.
Ooo ooo ya


So you don't know where to go
you don't know where to hide.
Holding all your tears,
keeping all your pain inside.
With your back against the wall
heart falling from your hand.You throw it in the river
and the river is gonna hide it again.
yeah yeah yeahyeah...

But you are not alone.When your not safe at home
and your running back running back.
While your off track
looking for a hope,
and for house to call your own.
You need a phone you feel all alone.
You don't know where to stop while your falling apart.
You need someone to hold
your hands are cold
You feel a little older.
You need a shoulder.
Oooo noo
But you're not alone.

What they will believe,
and if you want to change how its meant to be.
Even if they think you're strange.
Ooo
You want to live a life,
you need to breakaway.
Counting on your hands the days you have left to pay
but you are not Alone.

End Of Flashback

That was the song that won the contest and brought her here to Canada. She was offered a 3 album recording contract and once she finished she would be offered another one if they wanted to keep her. Her dad had been so supportive with all this. He left his job and Forks so he could come out here with her and keep an eye on her. He was offered a job as Chief of the Canadian Police Force and he was excited about it because this was no sleepy town like Forks. Since Bella was 18 she was offered an apartment that was owned by G-Major and was not to far off from where Charlie was.

The places weren't the only thing that changed it was the people or in one word her. She wasn't sure if Alice would like her new daring fashion sense or bury her alive. Instead of being the small town conservative dresser that she once was going. Now she wore rips jeans and slightly tight fitted t-shirts. She looked like a punk/rocker chick and she loved it because it gave her a sort of freedom with out have to go wild.

Bella sat there on an old orange couch waiting for her producer to arrive. Jude had met with her early and told her that she was sent aa new but good producer to help her. As she sat there she saw a guy enter G-Major and her heart started to beat faster at the sight of him. He was the exact image of Tommy Quincy 26 years younger only he had strands of red hair mixed with his black hair. Across the room Tommy Harrison Quincy was having the same reaction to the brown eyed angel just a few feet away from him.

As soon as they were done with there staring contest the close the gasp between them a bit. Surprisingly Bella broke the silent first. "Hey ah I'm Bella and I guess I'm your new artist. I'm the winner of the Instant Star Contest and I'm 18." . Tommy was in a daze and without even realizing it "I'm your new producer and I'm Tommy oh and I'm 26.".

While Tommy was freaking out about the age different and how amazing she looked, Bella was freaking out about hiw she could look away from him. She must be going crazy after all just 3 month ago a vampire broke her heart.

A/N: Sorry this Chapter seems a little forced. This wasn't the real first chapter but I had to change it at the last minute. This will be the first story in a Saga and all three story with have 15 chapters. I NEED 6 REVIEWS FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER.
