“So, Alessandra how do you stay grounded? I have seen a million girls in your spot before; your dad is a millionaire and has launched you into a world of fame, money, and tabloids. But you, you have figured out a way to stay out of it.” Oprah Winfrey said to me, staring at me intently, most likely noticing sweaty beads rolling down my face. I took a breath; I had grown to hate interviews, because everyone could see you, especially on Oprah.
“For me personally, I think it’s family support, you know my parents have been there for me for every single mistake I have made and I know they will always be there, when I turned twelve they sat me down and told me what could happen in this life I was blessed upon. Another thing is my faith with god, I believe he putt me in this position for a reason to make a difference, to show that you don’t have to be a bad girl and be famous. God has blessed me with so much, and I’m just grateful. You know that same day I sat down and had that talk with my parents, I got my promise ring, and I’m so proud that I have it.”
As I said that my dad rest his hand, on my shoulder and gave his million dollar smile, of course his smile was really worth a million dollars, I mean I guess that’s what you get when you are the top movie director in the country.

I sat in front of the mirror in the bathroom at the venue, sucking in my gut, and smoothing down my dress, I sucked in a little more, then until I couldn’t anymore. It was then I realized this dress was too tight, and my stomach showed too much. It was too late though, I was already at the benefit concert, I was already sitting next to dad, people had already seen me as they walked by, and they probably already commented on my growing pouch, I didn’t care though right?
That was the biggest lie, I did care, and I cared more then anyone. Who was I kidding? Black was not a slimming color no matter what anybody said.
By the time she exited the bathroom the concert would most likely be over, and the party would be started, where she talked up her father to everyone she could possibly talk to, while they measured her up.
She touched her hair once more, spirited on some of the free perfume sitting on the counter, and pushed open the door. And I immediately heard nothing but talking, and I saw my dad way across the room consumed in laughter and conversation.  I figured I could get out of being attached to his hip tonight and just have some fun, but only if I stayed out of his sight.
It wasn’t like my dad was controlling, not at all, like complete opposite, it was just that, for some reason he thought I loved talking to oldies, but I didn’t. He thought it was bonding, and he thought I always loved, it yet I didn’t.
I decided to just sneak away, I crouched down a little bit and backed up and slowly walked backwards hoping to see somebody I could talk to somewhere in this room.  I eyed the room as I continued to walk backwards noticing a couple famous faces, and a couple friends of mine in the room.
As I walked backwards, being the klutz I am, I ran straight into the back of another guy walking backwards, and managing to scrape up the back of his ankle with my black heels.
“Great job Alessandra.” I said to my self quietly, along with cursing under my breath. I quickly turned around, trying not to cause a scene.
“I’m sooo completely sorry. I’m like the biggest klutz ever trust-“I looked up from his ankle where he had a gauge, making him bleed through his pants.
“Oh, it’s nothing just a small, gushing blood cut. “ He said sarcastically smiling to me, and it was then I realized who it was, Nick Jonas.
“I’m seriously sorry; uhh want me to help you clean that up? It’s probably going to get pretty messy, you know with the blood, plus the heels of my shoes are dirty, there could be dirt, and you know infections, plus like airborne diseases, and other bad-“ I started when he cut me off.
“Do you normally ramble like that?” He asked smiling to me, making his almost rude comment, totally complementary.
“Yeah, actually it’s just something I do.” I said laughing.
: You should definitely meet my brother Kevin then, you guys would go on for hours. And yes, it would be nice if you could help me.” He said laughing, sticking out a hand to lead me to the bathroom with him.
