Chapter 1

"Ember I swear to god if you don't shut up right now I will physically come for you."Ivy has an let's say, interesting way to talk to me, but I love her none the less

"If you want to keep living here for free, then let me do my job" I exclaim back, that shut her up.

Ivy Broone is my absolute best friend, she's been with me all my life and I couldn't be more grateful for such a beautiful soul as my best friend.She was there when my career first started, when I was receiving alot of hate which is pretty common for new artists to experience. she was there for me when I went through the worst relationship of my life. She held my hand the whole time. And for that I'm forever grateful.

I'm nearing the end of my American tour, one day I hope to do a world tour, I know I'll get there eventually. I have my last 3 shows in my home town this week, I'm so ecstatic. Is my home town LA? Yes but I have always loved this place even whilst I was growing up. I loved the vibrant city and how it felt like nobody and everybody was watching you.

My first LA show is tomorrow night, hence why I'm singing my ass off at 11pm, and hence why Ivy is yelling at me to shut up. She comes with me to every show, always there on the side watching me and cheering me on, I couldn't do these shows without her or my mom there. They are my rocks.

I have an interview tomorrow morning at 9, then I have a meeting and then I have sound check, and THEN it's show time.My career has had many ups and downs, but I'm so forever grateful for my fans, they're the reason I can do this and why it's my career.I tend to do these interviews for the fans, not really for the company's that hold them, I know they like knowing more about my life. I mean come on, I was a raging fan once too, I was obsessed with Ariana grande, but to be honest who wasn't back way then. She's someone I really look up to in this industry. having contact with her is like a big fucking milestone in my life. Whenever I receive a text from Ariana herself I'm reminded of how far I've come as an artist.

After I finish off my last song for the night I start to wind down, obviously by resting my voice, I always get nervous having interviews and meetings on the day of a concert, but with how busy I am it's the only way I can please everyone, and trust me, there's lots to please.

The next morning I woke up at the ass crack of dawn. Well not really but 7am still seems to early to me.A day full of interviews, press, meetings, but I wouldn't change it for the world, and today I'm dragging ivy along with me for all of it. She loves it though, it makes her feel more involved in my career, her words not mine.

"Ivy girl, time to get uuup" I say, dragging the word a little to sound a bit more calm. She groans and throws a pillow at my head. How nice.

"Get yo ass up now or I'm leaving without you, we have to leave in 30 minutes." I exclaim, she groans again but finally gets out of bed.

"You knew that'd work, you know how much I love coming to these things with you, that's not fair." She pouts, I grab her face and force a smile onto her lips, she lets out a tired laugh.

After an excruciating half an hour we were finally out the door. A long day ahead of us we won't even get home till late, I warned Ivy but she still insisted.

The interview and meeting actually went better than I expected, thankfully, Ivy even got to be in the interview for a little bit, which boosted her ego alotttt.

It was finally sound check time, one of my favourite parts of a concert day, the calm before the storm, although I wouldn't call it a storm, more like a sun shower?I love to dance and run around during sound check, really get my energy and vibes flowing before the concert, the idea that there are fans outside waiting for me excites me the most. I love seeing all of their beautiful faces in the crowd, each and every one of them.

"Please please sing girLs tonight Emmy, it's my favourite song dude." Ivy expresses to me, I love that song and I always will, but it's what caused a lot of my hate at the start of my career, because apparently the message I was sending out was not appropriate? Sorry I just like to express what I like.

"Maybe, I don't want any angry moms coming at me again." I laugh, although at the time it sucked, I tend to laugh about it now, why should I care what a bunch of mothers think of me?

-

The vibes and energy tonight was INSANE. I've never felt so much energy and excitement from a crowd before, it seriously fulls me. Although I didn't play girLs but I think I will on my last night, maybe.

Bring on night 2 and 3.
