Dark Corner

I quickly sang the last couplet and then finished the song while turning off the shower. I quickly dried myself and then went up the stairs to my attic room. I jumped on my bed and went on YouTube.

I clicked on one of the most popular YouTubers, and started one of her videos. The girl was around the same age as me and had blond hair and bright blue eye. she seemed like she was like a popular kid, some girl who could have any guy.

"Hello there guys! thanks for clicking on my video. I practiced really hard on this one. It's called I See Fire, from Ed Sheeran. I totally love the guy. but here I go."

She started singing and I was shocked to hear my own voice filling my ears. That was my voice. Not hers, of course it seem like it was her, but I think it's actually me.

"I hope you liked it. See you later lots of love." she waved good bye and then ended the video. I was mad, how dare she steal my voice. I couldn't ramble on about how angry I was because the doorbell rang.

I quickly ran down stairs and then opened the door. I looked at the girl who looked up at me with her bright blue eyes. I wanted to slam the door in her face. But she quickly stepped in.

"Hello, I'm Samantha." she smiled at me and I wanted to slap that stupid smile off her stupid face. I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want. Because I don't think I like you very much." I groaned and her shoulders slumped and the smile was wiped off her face.

"I guess you found out. Look it was never meant to go this way, really. My sister found the clip and she posted it and I quickly got famous so I started to do it." She explained and I sighed. I knew how demanding social media worked.

"What do you want." I snarl, and she smiled knowing she was a step closer to what she actually wanted, she seems like a girl who gets what she wants when she wants it.

"I'm asked to perform on live television. And now my question. Would you maybe sing backstage and our mics can be like connected. so when you sing you hear it from my mic. I know some nerd who can take care of that. I've thought about this solution for a long time. This can be your debut, you have an amazing voice don't let this chance go wasted." She said and I thought about it. She had a point.

"Why don't you just play a music CD behind you, so you can playback?" I asked this time she smirked knowing I didn't say no.

"Because." she started "it's easy to see that it's exactly the same song I sang as in one of the videos. Plus someone could find out. And maybe I need you more then once." she said and I sighed. Knowing she was stupid, but not completely stupid.

But was I also stupid to not take this chance. I could do what I loved, I could see people who love my voice, this is the one things I've been waiting for. Only my ugliness held me away from it. this is my chance.

"Alright." I agreed. She smiled and hugged me, I just stayed there awkward not really knowing what to do. I wasn't the one to be hugged.

"Alright. We will be best friends." she smiled and I smiled awkwardly and she dragged me up stairs.

"So I thought about singing a One Direction song, I love those lads, really." She gushed, but already knew this was going to be a long day. I wasn't fond on those guys.

"Never, I don't really like One Direction, maybe we could do Lego House from Ed Sheeran ." I proposed, she sighed but nodded her head.

"But I can choose the next time, and we can also decide to switch. You choose now, I next time and then you again and so on and on and on." she explained. And I wanted to agree.

"But you can't choose nagging songs." she nodded her head happily and then we shook hands on it.

"So the performing is tomorrow so I guess we need to practice." She said and dragged me upstairs, but I was too shocked. Tomorrow, live television, and now, in the evening, practicing. This is never going to work out.

"Tomorrow!" I said a bit loudly. She looked at me like I was mad, she shrugged and then opened my bedroom door and pushed me inside, her following behind me.

"Yes, but you have an amazing voice so if you just learn the lyrics you know most of it already and then we're fine." she sighed and I shook my head but knowing I couldn't get more from her.

"Alright. You just say what you think and listen. First we'll listen to the song and then it'll will come alright like you said. But you're staying with me until we're done." I said warningly. She nodded.

I opened up YouTube and then typed in Lego House, and clicked on the song. It started to play and we listened.

I started to sing and she play backed perfectly. We did this for a long time and in the end, it was 2 a.m., we were done and exhausted.
