[ Brooklyn Gray went viral last week after a surprise song release ]
[ @hailey_townsend: she's growing so much. I love her #brookgray ]

[ @jake.connors: she's really out here kicking everyone's ass ]
"Do you remember...? Happy together...?" I sang into the mic. "I do... don't you?" A lot of my music videos were action-packed. Wether there were dancers or neon lights, I never disappointed. But now that I was slowly leaning away from my party-animal past, I just wanted to sing in a recording booth. No colors, all in black and white, no dancers, just me and my voice. My lyrics.
[ @brook_gray_4ever: Paper hearts is in all of my playlists now ]
I sat on the wooden stool, gently leaning over, closer to the hanging microphone. My eyes were closed like they usually were whenever I sang. "Thought you'd hate me but instead you called and said "I miss you"... I caught it..."
[ @juliamichaels: I'm proud of her ]
[ @kate.love_: I still wanna know who she's talking about... ]
A part of me was still afraid to let my feelings show. For so long, I've kept my emotions from everybody else thinking it would make me vulnerable if they knew.
"I miss my mom..." I say, my voice shaking. "I hate him so much..." I finally cry out, tears beginning to roll down my cheeks.
I was glad people appreciated the change but I still thought about how easy it would be to still take it all back. It wasn't too late.
I let my arms rest on my lap, eyes still closed. "You said forever and I almost bought it...""I'd... never hurt you, Brooklyn."
"None of it was ever real! I've been lying to you since the beginning, I'm not who I say I am. You weren't worth the truth."
I opened my eyes for a moment, a stray tear rolling down my pale cheek as I sang the lyrics that stung the most. "I still love you... I promise..."
Andy put down the pile of papers, her expression dropping when hearing those words come out from her phone's speaker.
Harrison looked down at his car radio, trying to keep his focus on the road all while listening to her new song. He wasn't surprised, but he wasn't expecting everything to come out so soon.
[ @georgiamiller: OMG! who is heee??? ]
[ @sarah_monaco: yes Brooklynnnn!!! ]
"But I miss you... I'm sorry..." I sang, another tear dripping from my chin onto the hardwood floors.
I wanted to tell everyone to cut the cameras and forget about all of this. But I knew I had to do it. I knew that this was a part of some kind of process to get my life back. That's all I wanted.
Maybe this will all backfire and I'll become old news. The fame and success will wash away and I'll be the girl who used to be something. But, maybe people will understand.
Understand that all I want is to sing from the heart for the first time in years.Eric sat back in his chair, looking down at his computer as the song played. A soft smile pulled at his lips. "There you go, kiddo..." He muttered out weakly.
