As Aidan continued to drive down the streets of LA, with me still holding on tightly to his waist, I would rest my head on his back and look at the passing palm trees and buildings. Soon, we pulled into a driveway. And Aidan turned the bike off and helped me get off of it. "See? That wasn't so bad, was it?" Aidan asked. "Not bad at all," I answered. Aidan unlocked the door and gave me a brief tour of the house. We started in the living room and ended it in his recording studio.

He turned on the lights, and almost immediately, the string moving lights turned on, sending bursts of colors around the room. "This is nice!" I smiled as Aidan led me into the studio and sat down in a swivel chair, next to the familiar white table where he recorded his videos. "So, about your song. Have you given much thought on what type of instruments you'd want to have in your song?" he asked.

"Not really. But, I was thinking about having some parts of the song played on the piano, and maybe add guitar later into it," I explained as the song lyrics appeared in my head. Aidan nodded and smiled. I could tell that he thought it was a good combination. "I like that. So, I was thinking. We could start the stream at around 3:00, and I'll introduce you to the fans after a brief introduction," I nodded at the idea, and to pass the time, we started doing vocal warmups while he set up the live stream around 2:50.

My heartbeat started to pound in my ears as the time grew closer and closer to 3. Aidan looked over at me, silently asking if I was okay. "I'm fine, just a little bit nervous," I admitted. "That's okay, I get nervous doing these too, but eventually it'll go away. You're going to do great, I promise," Aidan always knew how to make his fans feel a little more confident in themselves. I watched as the number of people waiting for the live stream jumped into the thousands, and my heart started to pound inside my chest again.

Aidan gently rubbed my shoulder blade as the countdown to the start of the live stream decreased. When it hit the 10-second mark, I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Hi everyone!" Aidan said as he waved into the camera. He looked over at me for a split second before his gaze returned to the camera. "Man, this week has been crazy! Trying to find the mystery girl. But on Friday, I found her, and she's the winner of the contest!" Aidan smiled. From a distance, I could see the comments. Some of them were asking who the girl was, while others were asking him to guest them.

"Well, why don't I just show you who she is?" Aidan turned his phone towards me, and I appeared on live. I could feel my cheeks grow slightly pink as I waved at the camera. "Everyone, this is Serena! She is our mystery girl! Thank you so much to everyone who auditioned! All of your auditions were amazing, and I loved hearing them!" Aidan smiled. I started blushing at Aidan's words, and I looked down at the comments.

User1: OMG! She's so pretty!

User2: Please sing for us!

User3: She's not that pretty. Ashley's better looking than she is.

User4: Shut up, User3! She's gorgeous!

"Hi, guys! So nice to be here!" I smiled. The comments kept flooding in, and some people asked why I ran away from Aidan at the auditions, but I avoided the question, not wanting to put my business out there. "So, most of you saw the video of her at the auditions last week, and you guys only got a small snippet of her singing. So, if she wants to, I think it would be cool if Serena sang for us,"

My eyes went wide when he said that. There was a part of me that wanted to chicken out of singing. But as I read the comments from his fans begging me to sing, I couldn't refuse. "Okay, if you insist," I smiled as Aidan passed me his acoustic guitar. My fingers gently plucked the guitar as I tuned it for the song I was going to play.

Some girls feel best in their tiny dresses.
Some girls, nothin' but sweatpants, lookin' like a princess.
Some girls kiss new lips every single night.
They're stayin' out late cause they're just celebratin' life.

You know some days you feel so good in your own skin.
But it's okay if you want to change the body that you came in.
Cause you look greatest when you feel like a damn queen
We're all just playin' a game in a way, tryin' to win that life.

Most girls are smart and strong and beautiful.
Most girls work hard, go far. We are unstoppable.
Most girls, our fight to make every day
No two are the same

I wanna be like, I wanna be like most girls.
I wanna be like, I wanna be like most girls.

I wanna be like, I wanna be like
I wanna be like, I wanna be like
I wanna be like, I wanna be like

Most girls (yeah)
Most girls (wanna be, wanna be, wanna be)
Most girls, our fight to make every day
No two are the same
I wanna be like most girls.

I wanna be like, I wanna be like most girls.
I wanna be like, I wanna be like
I wanna be like, I wanna be like
I wanna be like

Aidan started clapping for me when I finished singing, and I handed him back his guitar. I looked down at the comments to see what people had to say, and the majority had positive comments about my performance. "That was Serena Waterbury, everyone! Follow her on Instagram at SereneCinderella!" Aidan smiled as he placed the phone between us. We were on that stream for almost an hour, and we answered questions and even guested a few of his fans who were super sweet!

"Well, everybody, thank you so much for joining the stream! It was fun hanging out with you!" Aidan said before turning off the live stream. As soon as the little red turned off, I let out a sigh of relief that I didn't screw it up. "I told you were gonna do great!" Aidan smiled. "I thought it was going to be scary because you have so many fans!" I chuckled as I flipped a piece of my hair behind me.

Aidan stood up and walked closer to me. And wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into an embrace. It was hard for us to pull apart, and in that moment, I didn't want to let go.
