Natalia pov:
As soon as we got in the house I was rushing like crazy! I hopped in the shower and than got out when I got out I had 15 mins left! The school is 6 mins away so technically 9 but since my brother told the teacher we were going to be a few minutes late I technically add 20mins!
As I curled my I eyelashes and put on lipgloss. I was stuck what was I going to do with my hair?
After what felt like forever I finally decided to leave my hair down and put 2 braids on each side of my head and looked around my draw and found rose clips that I clipped on too my braids.
My hair:
My dress:
As I sprayed my vanilla perfume from Victoria Secret. I took a second to look in the mirror. I looked so much like my mom and dad in one, I kinda felt bad I was a constant reminder of my mom to my brothers. My looks, The way I speak and sometimes my attitude and where I learnt to be stubborn from. Those traits all came from my mom.
I was pretty but the few comments I got kept roaming in my head. Am I really fat? Did I gain weight?
Anyway I ignore the questions and I decided it was time to go down stairs but before I went I put on my mom's necklace I wear everyday as a sign of good luck. She said if anything where to happen to her to never take it off.
As I walk downstairs all my brothers stare at me and smile.
"You look bellissima" Lucas said
"Thank you" I said smiling
"You look amazing Principessa" Noah said kissing my temple
"Thank youu" I say smiling looking up at him
"I can't believe we are all related to some one so pretty" Matthew says smiling hugging me
I just smile as everyone stares at me as Leo comes down the stairs with his dance costume on he looks kinda fireeee his role is a hip hop version of the beast before he turns to the beast! This school finds away to add dance to everything
What he's wearing:
"You look like me and I dress very good so that's a compliment" Leo say's flipping his imaginary hair.
Making everyone laugh! As Leo shakes my head back and forth and says " You will do fineee trust me if I could sing like you... I wouldn't be worried"
I just giggled and then Noah said " Alright we have to hit the road everyone pick who there driving with now please so there is no confusion"
"Okay, Nat is coming with us so Noah we will be riding with you"Leo says
"Alright come on let's go" Noah says smiling at me
As we all get in the car and are now a minute away I start getting more anxious and soon I start bouncing my knee a little as I began to zone out
"Principessa" Noah called but i didn't hear him and called again about 3 times till he said
"Natalia?" He called this time I heard him and snapped out of it
"Ummm yes I say" look at him as he looks at me through the rear view mirror
"Hey, everything is going to be fine alright". Noah said reassuring me
"Uh okay" I say my pace in my leg slowly decreases
As we arrive Leo says " Sissssss your readyyyy we about to eattt this uppp and I guess you will too Theo for helping with the boxes. Leo says the first part excited and the second part just to bother Theo causing Theo to say
"Ooohhh shut up" Theo says jokingly but still receiving a slap on his leg from Noah. Since Theo was sitting in the front seat.
"Sorry" Theo said immediately after knowing he is supposed to be a role model for me.
Anyway as we get out and we get in the dressing room we have 30 seconds til the show starts! Made it just on time.
What I didn't tell my brothers is that not only am I doing a song by myself but I'm also doing a duet with a girl named Hannah! We sound good the only problem is we are in the beginning of the musical!
As the musical begins like 5 mins in Ms.Woods the music teacher who is also in charge of the singing part of the show says it's your turn Ms.Marino and Ms. Jackson (Hannah's last name)
As I go on stage the stage light is to bright to see anyone I only hear cheering as I walk to the piano and so does Hannah expected she is in front of it.
When I sit down I spot my brothers some look confused but most are just smiling! Before we play a video goes on of a interview I took and so did Hannah yet mine is first
The interviewer is underlined.
What's your name?
Natalia Marino
So Who taught you how to sing?
Well I heard my mom sing and I guessed I just remembered and so yea
How long have you been singing for?
Well I have been singing for a little over a year but my brothers didn't find out until like a few days ago but I haven't played the piano in 8 years til a few weeks ago.
You have brothers?
Yes I do
How many?
12 brothers
Wow are you the youngest?
Yes I am.
So who taught you how to play the piano?
My mom
Ohh do you still play with her now?
Ummm... well my ummm parents passed away when I was little in a plane crash
Oh I am so sorry to hear that I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable
No no it's fine you didn't know your just doing your job( I giggle in the video)
Well are you excited.
Umm yes but mostly nervous I never sung in front of a crowd before.
Do you write your own songs?
Yes I do this first song Hannah and I worked on together actually earlier on today
Wow and do you say you can sing?
I mean yea... I think so at least ( I giggle)
Well good luck!
Thank you
Then Hannahs interview went and then a spotlight went on us and it was time to sing!
I did not writ this song! This goes to rightful owners! Just pretend Natalia and Hannah wrote it!
Lyrics:
Seems like a part of me will always have to lose
Every single time I have to choose
Swore that it felt right, but was I wrong?
Is this where I'm supposed to be at all?
I don't have the answers, not today
It's like nothing makes the questions go away
What I'd give to see if the grass was greenerOn the other side of all I've had and lost
Would it be enough, or would I still be wondering?If I could go back and change the past
Be a little braver than I had
And bet against the odds
Would I still be lost?
Even if I woke up in my dreams
Would there still be something I'm missing
If I had everything, would it mean anything
To me?Feels like I might have broke the best thing that I had
I said too much to ever take it back
Scared I'll never find something as good
And would I even know it if I could?From the other side of all I've had and lost
Would it be enough, or would I still be wondering?
(Or would I still be wondering, oh)If I could go back and change the past
Be a little brave than I had
And bet against the odds
Would I still be lost?
Even if I woke up in my dreams
Would there still be something I'm missing
If I had everything, would it mean anythingMaybe I should turn around and take the other road
Or maybe I'm just looking for what I already knowI'm just wonderingIf I could go back and change the past
Be a little brave than I had
And bet against the odds
Would I still be lost?
Even if I woke up in my dreams
Would there still be something I'm missing
If I had everything, would it mean anything
To me?Would it be enough
Or would I still be wondering?
After we finished the feeling felt amazing just begin able to sing. To think I actually sung in front of a crowd felt amazing!
As the crowd cheered I smiled and Hannah and I both bowed and high five each other as we walked off stage!
"You did amazinggg sisss" Leo and Theo said at the same time making me giggle
"Thankssssss" I Said as Leo spun me around as we laughed
Then I walked over to Jake who looked surprised and said "You sound beautiful I didn't know you can sing like that rose"
I began blushing and said thank you " the nickname rose?" I questioned than laughed I mean my brothers call me that every now and then but rarely and I guess it fit my middle name.
"Yea is that alright?" He asked
"Matches my middle name Rosebell and it's perfectly fine Love" I say blushing and then the lights goes off and I immediately jump. One thing about me is I HATE THE DARK! Even if I am 14 years old! I need led lights or a flashlight!
I guess Jake saw my reaction and than reached for my hand!I smiled and whispered thank you. Wow he hustled held my hand in the dark!
After what felt like forever Jake and Leo went on and let me tell you they both nailed there rolls!
Then once again it was my turn as I walked to the piano i too, a deep breath and began!
Once again I don't own song! Belongs to rightful owner
All my life, I've seen myself through your eyes
Wonderin' if I am good enough for your time
You love me but for all the wrong reasons
Am I somethin' to you and not someone?
'Cause I feel trapped on this pedestal you put me on
You tell me that I'm beautiful but I think that's an understatement'Cause I am more than what I am to you
You say I'm perfect but I've got thorns with my petals, too
And I won't be confined to your point of view
I'm breakin' through the glass you put me in
'Cause my beauty's from withinOh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
My beauty's from within
Oh-oh, oh-oh-ohSo, I am done livin' my life just for you
You watched me wither and now you'll watch me bloom
You're hidin' in the dark but I'm reachin' for the Sun, woo-ooh'Cause I am more than what I am to you
You say I'm pretty but I've got magic that you never knew
And I won't be confined to your point of view
I'm breakin' through the glass you put me in, 'causeI am more than what I am to you
You say I'm perfect but I've got thorns with my petals, too
And I won't be confined to your point of view
I'm breakin' through the glass you put me in
'Cause my beauty's from within
Once I was done... I felt free like when I'm singing I feel like I'm in my room or singing in the shower. I am no longer present until the piano stops.
Everyone was cheering and screaming and I just smiled bowed and walked off stage.
Just like that the musical was done but still something felt different I was happy. I mean I was happy sometimes but I was actually happy like I felt this was the life I was given.
Once the show was done everyone came on stage and bowed. Then we all went everywhere. I was on my way to fine my brothers until this tall middle aged man with a suit and a tie but it had music notes on it says
"Natalia right? As he held out his hand as I shook it.
"Yes Natalia Marino ". I said smiling
"I must say you have a beautiful voice. I am Zach Goodman!" He said smiling
"Thank youuu! It's a pleasure to meet you" I smiled
"I am the director of Sings and Movies , I think you have a chance as singing a song in our new movie! How about you take my card and I will exchange phone numbers with you and I will give you a call Saturday too see if you willing to take my offer" He said smiling giving me a business card!
OMG! WHY DIDN'T LIAM TELL ME THERE WERE GOING TO BE BIG! PRODUCTION I THOUGHT HE MEANT SMALL! THIS IS A BIG COMPANY AND THE DIRECTOR IS TALKING TO MEEEE!
"Omg seriously Thank you! my number is 234-561-7836 (Random number) !" I said smiling
He smiled and wrote down my number and said " Hopeful I will see you soo Natalia and winked and walked away".
Then I saw Leo and we both ran up to each other! "OMGGGG SIS HE TALKED TO YOUUU TOO!Leo shouted jumping up and down excited
"YESSS HE DID HE TALKED TOO YOU!"
"YASSSSSSSS OMG I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!"
"I AM EXCITED FOR YOU TOO BUT WAIT!....Why didn't you tell me he was going to be here?"
"Because sis I didn't know... BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER WE JUST GOT ASKED TO A BIG COMPANY!
"OMGGG I KNOWWWW" I squealed excitingly
And soon the rest of our brothers found us
"What got ya sooo excited" Ryan asked chuckling
"Becauseeee the director of sing and music just talked tooo ussss!" Leo says squealing again as I start giggle and laughing
"Together!?" Marcus asked Happy but confused
"No no, Separate he asked me to be in the movies or be a voice actor and he asked Natalia to sing a song in the movies either as a character or BACKGROUND! Leo squealed again
"I am proud of you too" Noah said kissing my temple and shaking Leo's head back and forth
"You guys did amazing" Henry said happy
"You guys really did" Nico said
"Natalia you alright? You seemed lost" Lucas says shaking my head back and forth
"Huh...oh yea just thinking" I say as I give a small smile
I forgot to mention I am also a little bipolar. It's not major or anything though.
"Thinking abouttt" Matthew says
"Ohh umm...mom" I say smiling but a little sad
"What about her?" Caleb asked
"Well her singing? What she would of said?" I say smiling but you can tell I am kinda sad
"Well I bet she would of said she was happy and proud of you and how you started playing the piano and how you turnt out to be a very pretty girl and how you are getting all the boys alright let me stop- Theo says laughing
Making me laugh! And smile again
"Maybe u are right!" I smile at him and then hug him he surprised at first cause I usually don't hug a lot but then he hugs me back and I hear him whisper something to Lucas as Noah whispers something to him back.
"I love ya.... And the last one to to any car owes me ice cream" I say as we all laugh and they say I love you too as we race to the car even in my low heels. They all nanowire I love ice cream but I love my family more. Don't take things for granted! You never know if tomorrow is promised but you know if you wake up that you were given another opportunity in life!
