Me:It was nothing.
Brookie:Oh come on. It had to be something. Please tell me! I'm your best friend Becky!
Me:Oh alright.
I explained everything to her. From when me and Austin became friends to when he only paid attention to his other friends to him dating Taylor to finally him moving to Miami, the day my dad and stepmom died.
Brookie:Wow. You went through a lot the day he left didn't you?
Me:Obviously I mean I lost everyone that ever meant something to me.
Brookie:Well I completely understand why you have no feelings for him what so ever.
Me:Thanks Brook.
You see Brooklyn aka Brookie or Brook (I sometimes call her Brook or Brooklyn depending on how serious I am about something but I usually call her Brookie) is obviously my best friend. I met her when I first moved here. She was also the one who motivated me to make my first YouTube video.
*Flashback*
I've lived in Inglewood for about 5 months now and I am loving it here! It may not seem much but it's actually a very beautiful area especially with the Mexican vibe all over the place. I was heading to Brookie's place to talk to her about one of my favorite songs that I really liked which I wrote in one part my own lyrics to. I didn't really think it was that good which is why I needed her help. I finally got to her place and just walked in cause I'm basically family to her family so there wasn't really any point in knocking anymore. I saw Brookie just sitting there on the couch watching tv.
Me:Hey Brookie!
Brookie:Hey Becky! What's up?
Me:Well I wanted to have you're opinion on something.
Brookie:Well what is it?
Me:Okay so you know how one of my favorite songs is Otis by Kanye West right?
Brookie:Yeah and?
Me:Well I sorta added my own little part to it and I was wondering what you think of it.
I handed her my journal where I do all my songwriting, getting a little nervous about what she taught of it.
Brookie:Wow! Becky this is amazing!
Me:You really think so?
Brookie:Yeah! You know what?!
Me:What?
Brookie:You should shoot a video for this and post it on YouTube!
That immediately reminded me of when I said the exact same thing to Austin about a year ago. I just shook of the thoughts and started thinking if I actually wanted to post a cover of this song on YouTube.
Me:Well I don't know Brookie. I'm just not sure. I'm probably not even that good.
Brookie:Are you kidding me?! I've heard you sing before and you're amazing! Rapping can't be that much different!
Me:Well it's just idk.
Brookie:You know what we're making a video whether you like it or not cuz I'm showing THIS to you cousins!
She waved my journal around in the air and ran past me out the door towards one of my cousins' house. I started running after her.
Me:No Brooklyn please don't show it too them!
But it was too late since all my cousins always hang out at my Titi Lidia's house during the summer, (probably a good idea to mention that my whole family lived here in Inglewood huh? XP) which is only 4 houses down across the street from Brookie's place. She already just ran right into the house without even knocking. I ran up to my titi's house and walked in.
Brookie:Sarah! Get everybody over here! I got to show you all something!
Soon enough everyone came running to the living room.
Me:No Brook give it back!
But then my cousin Rico who's like a skyscraper to me grabbed my journal and held it up in the air and then I knew I was done for.
Rico:Well well well what do we have here aye prima?
Yeah yeah yeah he's one of those people who love you and all but always pick on you and honestly I hated that but he is my cousin so whatever. I just pouted and crossed my arms then my bangs fell in my face.
Rico:Pout all you want prima but you know you're done for.
Me:Yeah yeah just get on with it already.....
Brookie showed him what page it was on and soon enough my journal was being past around the living room to each and every one of my cousins. Then one by one they looked back up at me with a shocked or horrified look on their face idk which one it was.
Me:So it was that bad huh?
Then all my cousins and Brookie started basically yelling at me for saying that and telling me how good it was and all that.
Me:Ok! Ok! Shut up! Geez!
My cousin Rico then came up with this cool idea for the video and boom! Right after that Dr.Luke discovered me and helped shoot a couple more covers to build up on my fame then signed me and here I am now!
*End of Flashback*
Brookie:Becky....Becky.....BECKY!!!
I jumped nearly having a heart attack.
Me:What?
Brookie:What are you thinking about?
Me:Oh you know just remembering how this all started.
Brookie:Oh! Well you know if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be where you are now. Now would you?
Me:Yeah yeah ok thanks Brookie!
Brookie:You're welcome!
Me:Oh I gotta get back to the set so we can shoot my next video!
I grabbed my bag and gave Brookie a hug.
Brookie:Ok see ya later than good luck!
Me:See ya!
I ran out the door back to the set.
