Chapter 17: Dreams and Goodbyes
Today is one of the most special days in my life. My album is done editing and today afternoon I have an interview with Radio Disney to talk about my album with Hollywood Records and to talk about my life. I'm so nervous. I wanted to be sure about what I was going to talk so I decided to call Kevin because he had experience. I called him to his cell phone and left a message so when he got it he could call me. I had to go to the salon in the morning to get prepared for the interview so I missed school. My agent called me and explained me how those interviews were and that I should use my words correctly.
Before I could notice it was time to go to the Radio Station. My hands were shaking and my heart was racing. My mom was trying to give me confidence while we were in the car.
"Honey, just breath you are going to do it fine" she tried to comfort me.
I just started thinking everything that my agent told me to say and reminded myself that I needed to calm down and sound confident.
When I finally was trusting myself my mom said "We're here honey".
When I heard that my heart started racing again and I was cold because of the nervous. I got out of the car with my mom and walked a few stairs. I finally was on Radio Disney. The guy who worked there was really nice to me.
"Hey! Are you Demi Lovato? Nice to meet you! I'm Charlie! welcome to Radio Disney, sit down" he smiled and greeted me.
I said hi and sat there. He started a convo with me and then a guy told him we will be on air in 3 minutes. I was nervous so I was shaking my legs and when Charlie noticed that he held my hand and said "don't be nervous. with that voice you have I wouldn't" he winked an eye and that made my day.
"Hello boys and girls we are back on Radio Disney with Racing Star Demi Lovato! Her debut album 'Don't Forget' will be released on September 23rd. So Demi what can you tell us about your new album?" he started with the interview.
"Well it has some pop songs but it's mostly rock and alternative." I answered.
"And how was the experience while recording it?" he asked again.
"Well it was really fun because I had the chance to write most of the songs in it and I experimented a lot of emotions while recording some songs" i answered super confident.
"As I've been informed this was your biggest dream since little right?" he continued.
"Yes it is" I smiled.
"Did you think that it was going to be true Demi?" When he said that it really hit me that I was living my dream now.
"Um, no" I laughed a little.
"And how about your friends, family and probably a boyfriend taking this big change in your life?" When he said boyfriend all I could think was Joe and I got some really weird feeling.
"My family and friends have been really supportive with this and about a boyfriend I'm single for the moment" I smiled big.
"Who's your best friend?" he asked. I thought about Selena for a second.
"My best friend is Miley. She goes to school with me." I asnwered.
"And finally, what do you expect about this dream you are currently living?"he asked to close.
"Well I just hope I will keep living it till God let me do it and hopefully you will know me for a lot of things in this industry" I finished.
"Well my dear audience, this is the end of the interview. Demi thank you so much for being here."
"No problem" I smiled.
"To continue we are premiering Demi's first single La La Land from her debut album 'Don't Forget' releasing date September 23rd. Demi will you make us an honor to announce your first single please?"
"Absolutely. Hi everyone, this is Demi Lovato and here it's the premiere of my first single La La Land so check it out."
"COMERCIALS" someone shouted from the back.
It was over. I couldn't believe it happened so fast and I was nervous.
"You did it awesome Demi! We'll see you soon again okay?" Charlie said goodbye and I left with my mom.
She congratulated me and she left me at school so I could be at the last classes. When I walked into the salon everyone was quiet and stared at me, then I realized that they were listening to the radio and my song was on. Even the teacher was listening. Miley stood up and said "SING." After that it became some kinda chorus and everyone was like "SING. SING. SING." The teacher politely asked me if I wanted to sing and I said it was fine. I started to sing my single as the music on the radio started. When I finished everyone clapped and I was so happy and proud of myself. Miley ran and hugged me but I could see one sit empty. Selena was missing. I asked the teacher about her and she explained me that she was not going to be in the school anymore. I got all concerned so I called her and she told me if she could go to my house in the afternoon to tell me everything. I said yes.
Finally classes were over, I said goodbye to Miley and I got home. When I got into the living room my mom told me Selena was waiting for me in my room. I ran upstairs and she was checking all our old photos on my wall. She shade a tear when she saw me.
"Hey Demi" she said while drying her tear.
"Hey Sel, what's up?" I answered and asked.
"I'm doing really good. Demi I need to talk to you." she sounded serious.
We both sat in my bed and she started "Demi, I'm letting you know that my family and I have to leave again. My mom got another job in New York so we have to go.." she started crying.
"I just wanted to say goodbye and say I'm sorry for everything I did while I was here. Also I have to confess that I kissed Nick so Miley should be with him right now because he really truly loves her. I am really really sorry about all the damage I caused here. I understand if you hate me but I do care about you, you were my best friend and even tho we separated and you have Miley now, I will always love you as my sister."
I was about to cry so I hugged her really tide and answered "Sel, I don't hate you. I love you too and I forgive you for everything. I have to admit I'm going to miss you so much Selly" we both started crying.
Suddenly her cell phone rang.
"Demi, I have to go now. My mom is waiting for me out side and it's getting late for our plain. I love you Demi. I promise I will write you a letter with everything going on there" she said her last words to me.
"I love you Selly. I promise I will write to you too."
I waved from the door to her car and she blew me a kiss. I got inside my house and couldn't believe she was leaving..again. I was going to miss her so much.
