Here I Am!

The Start Of It All

"I'm here Princess, don't cry I'm here." I whisper in her ear still rubbing her back as she cries into my neck. I look up to see my parents smiling, with Camila still pacing. I stand up with Sofi in my arms and walk towards my parents and Camila, who still has no idea I'm here or that Sofi just ran across the room to me. I stand next to my parents as we watch Camila, waiting for her to see me.

"Mija." My mom calls her, Camila just mumbles. I laugh causing her to snap her head up in shock.

"Monkey?" She asks tears in her eyes. I nod and slowly hand a sleeping Sofia to my dad. She runs at me, giving me a koala hug, burying her head into my neck. I rest my head on hers and rub her back like I had with Sofi. I feel her tears on my neck and whisper to her. "It's okay Cam." Over and over, until she had calmed down but still hadn't let go of me.

"Karla, we have to go to our seats." Mami says. I chuckle as I feel the vibrations of Camila groaning on my neck. She picks up her head giving me a glare, while I smile innocently back. She gets off of me but grabs my hand. I smile and place a kiss to her forehead.

"I'm sorry I lied Cam, I just wanted to surprise you." I tell her as we make our way to our seats. She just grips my hand tighter. I look down to see her biting her lip and looking around at the other contestants. "Nervous?" I ask She looks up at me and nods. I smile at her. "You're going to do great Cam. I mean you do have your good luck charm." I have a big smile on my face looking ahead as we follow behind mom, dad and a still sleeping Sofia. She laughs and pushes me.

"Shut up. I'm less nervous now that your here. I just don't know how I'll do." She says getting shy. I stop waking and call up to our parents. "Mami, we'll catch up." She looks at Camila and nods in understanding, walking ahead with Papa and Sofia.

I turn to look at Camila, who is looking up at me questionably. I pull her to sit on an empty seat, and pull her close to me, causing her to burrow further into me. "Cam, you are going to do fine. I promise you that. You are going to be able to audition, and you are going to rock it, like you do whenever you sing." She looks up at me.

"You really think so? I mean I have a very little chance of performing. Plus I don't think I'll be that good." She says sadly. I rub her back and pull her closer.

"You are going to do fine. I believe in you, Mami and Papa believe in you, so does Sofia. If you get scared just look at me, okay?" She nods and gives me another hug.

"Thank you Monkey. What would I do without you?" I laugh and pull her up.

" Be scared all the time." I laugh, she hits me, causing me to laugh harder. "But, you help me too Shadow, more than you realize." I mumble the last part under my breath. "Now, let's get in there so you can rock your audition. And that's what happened. She did her audition, made it through, got eliminated but brought back and put into Fifth Harmony for them all to come in third overall.

~~~~~~End Flash Back~~~~~~

That was the last time we acted like that. Since then she's gotten busier along with me graduating college, and being busy finding work. I'd call whenever I could but, she'd never answer. Same goes for everyone else in my family. I was shut out.

This leads to where we are now. I'm in my parents house in Miami packing my bags. I can't take knowing my own family won't acknowledge me, so I'm moving. In college I was studying to be a computer scientist. I can write code, hack, and I can build computers and other gadgets. I got a job in California so that's where I'm heading. I mean no one here is going to miss me, so why should I stay where I'm not wanted.

I sigh as I look at my room once more. I grab my two hoodies Camila and Sofia like, and put the one they like on their beds. I may seem like an idiot for doing this but their my sisters and even if they hate me, I still love them. I turn and make my way to my car. Double checking I have all of my bags, I get in my car and make my way to the airport.

After my flight, I get out and look at my home from now on. "California, Here I Am!" I sigh and begin my walk to my apartment.

A/N: Hey guys so this is my new story. I just want to make a couple things clear.

1. I have no hate towards Camila and her family. I just felt she would work for this story. If it makes you upset I apologize, but this is my story. I'm writing it how I feel it works.

2. I have no idea how X Factor works, so the whole flashback is most likely not realistic, I tried to make it as realistic as I thought it was.

3. Would you guys like to have a friend in 5H? Or another group/ person? I would like to have you guys have an impact on these stories, so any input would be appreciated.

I hope you guys enjoy this story, I plan on updating this one regularly.

Thanks You for Reading,
