" hi," I said into my camera, " I'm Amelia, today is April 18th and this is my first ever YouTube video so I'm quite nervous. This is my cover of Happy Little Pill by Troye Sivan." I took a deep breath, switched the backing music on and then began to sing.

" In the crowd alone

And every second passing reminds me I'm not home

Bright lights and city sounds are ringing like a drone

Unknown, unknown

oh, glazed eyes,empty hearts

Buy happy from shopping carts

Nothing but time to kill

Sipping life from bottles

Tight skin, body guards

Gucci down the baulevard

Cocaine, dollar bills

And...

My happy little pill

Take me away

Dry my eyes

Bring colour to my skies

My sweet little pill

Tame my hunger

From within

Numb my skin.

Like a rock afloat

Sweat and conversations seep into my bones

Four walls are not enough

I'll take a dip into the unknown, unknown

Oh, glazed eyes, empty hearts

Buy happy from shopping carts

Nothing but time to kill

Sipping life from bottles

Tight skin ,body guards

Gucci down the boulevard

Cocaine, dollar bills

And...

My happy little pill

Take me away

Dry my eyes

Bring colour to my skies

My sweet little pill

Tame my hunger

From within

Numb my skin

Bollards

B...b...b... Bollards

Bollards

Bright lights

Bollards, bollards

Bollards

B...b...b... Bollards

Bollards

Glazed eyes, empty hearts

Buying happy from shopping carts

Nothing but time to kill

Sipping life from bottles

Tight skin, body guards

Gucci down the boulevard

Cocaine, dollar bills

And...

My happy little pill

Take me away

Dry my eyes

Bring colour to my skies

My sweet little pill

Tame my hunger from within

Numb my skin." I then shut the camera off just as my brother older Levi walks through the door.

" come on we have to go!" He says slamming my bedroom door as he leaves. We were going to meet another one of my mums boyfriends. She hadn't had one for about 6 months so she must be getting sick of dating by now. This particular man had found her on the Internet and started taking to her on an internet dating site. They had been talking for 5 months and today my 14 year old brother and I are meeting him, and his kids.

My dad died in a car crash when I was only 5. He was hit by a drunk driver. My mum has been trying to find someone who we all got along with as she thinks it's important for us to have a father figure. Especially Levi. He really misses dad, he remembers him the most even though he was only 7 when he died. I really hope this boyfriend works out for mum.
