And you thought that was the last chapter i'd upload today???

9. The First Video

Mr. and Mrs. Jameson awarded me the gold label when I was

a guest performer at London Beat, a teenage variety show.

Which meant we had to shoot a music video.

"Cool, which one?" I asked when Caleb told me about it.

"It has to be 'A Place in this World'," he replied. "It's technically your first single."

"Oh. Okay."

The next day, Dad (my acting manager) and I met with some people in charge of making the video.

They asked me, Dad, Caleb and some other people about the concept we had for the video. In the end they decided to go with mine.

I was a new kid in school, then, finding myself alone, I play guitar under the bleachers. Then, the next day at school, I saw an audition for a talent show so I tried out. In the end, I rock my heart out onstage.

We shot the music video at a private school so I had to wear uniforms and stuff.

"Good take!" the director called. "Great, great work, everyone! Let's see it." We all grouped around him and watched the music video. It was awesome.

They all applauded again.

"So, we'll release the video in a week," the director said. "It's been a pleasure doing work with you, Miss Cullen."

"The pleasure is mine," I replied, shaking his hand.

The international release came a few days earlier than the music video. Before we knew it, tv show hosts, producers, directors and company representatives from all over the world were calling.

On the day of the video, I called Jake.

"Hello?"

"Hey, keep tuned in to MTV, okay? Make sure everyone, and I mean everyone is with you, okay?" I said hurriedly.

"Sure. What's the rush?" he asked.

"It's a surprise," I replied with the air of a five-year-old.

"Oh . . . 'kay, if you say so, hon," he said.

"Talk to you later, okay?" I replied. "Love you."

"You too. I'll talk to you after the surprise."

Jake and I hung up on each other. I sat down with Mom and Dad on the couch waiting for my music video. I killed a few hours on the laptop talking to Aunt Alice and Aunt Rose over the internet.

When Mom and Dad's theme song was playing, I tried Googling myself and checked out the reviews.

"What? I have a fansite?!" I said out loud. Mom and Dad looked over to see what I was up to. I clicked on the link and saw the website. "Wow, . They have ten affiliates?!" I checked out every other site and saw one called . It was a website dedicated to the "Nessie Cullen and Caleb James Shippers." Uh oh.

"What's wrong?" Dad asked. I was now rapidly clicking and typing at a celebrity gossip website.

"Some people saw me and Cale together," I replied. Sure enough, there were a few shots of me and Cale talking at Starbucks and walking down the streets.

"Jacob will not like that," Mom said.

"I know," I moaned.

"From now on, you've got to be careful," Dad added.

I checked out a few radio websites and saw "A Place in this World" and "Fearless" on top of the daily and weekly charts. Cool.

Then it was time for the video.

"Not bad," dad commented. "You'd make a great actress." He looked pointedly at Mom and she looked like she would blush if she could.

After the video, calls from Forks and La Push kept coming in, telling me how great it was.

The other calls were more advertisement offers. The three of us will go through them later.

The last call was from Jake.

"You were totally awesome," he said.

"Thanks," I replied. "Hey, how're finals?"

"Just one more week to go," he sighed.

"Study hard, okay?" I reprimanded him as if I was his mother. "So you can come here already."

"Yep."

"Love you, bye."

"You, too."

When the phone didn't ring for one minute, we gathered the company names then trooped to the dining room.

The phone rang again.

It was MTV.

I'd made a record on the daily charts by debuting on the top spot.

Haha. i've got a SUPER special surprise in the next chapter *squee* BTW, just had a great dream the other night *DOUBLE SQUEE!!!*
