wanna, oh Hit me up

All right, J, it's your turn to sing!

- Sing?

- Yeah.

This is your song. You got it.

Sing one of your songs.

Sing what you feel. Come on.

- What?

- Yeah.

No. I feel uncomfortable.

Come on, J. I need you.

- Please?

- Oh, you know what? I'll do it later.

Because I have to answer the doorbell.

Put the camera in our

room. We'll do it later.

Hi. Oh.

What... Sorry.

She's not going to do it later.

- No.

- No.

Thanks. Bye.

Why didn't you tell us?

Because I don't want you girls to worry.

If we're forced out, doesn't that

mean that we could all be separated?

You know what? Okay. 30 days,

that's what they're giving us.

- There has to be something that we can do.

- There is.

We can be strong for each

other, and for your sisters.

And don't worry. I'm

going to figure this out.

- Okay.

- Okay? I'm working on an appeal.

Everything's gonna be fine.

It's funny how realizing

that your life might fall apart

gives you new perspective.

Even though I'd known that inscription

by heart since I was a little girl,

it felt like I was seeing it

for the first time that night.

It made me wonder what my dad thought

I'd be going through when he wrote it.

But really, I just wish that he'd

tell me how to get through this now.

- Come here.

- Just kidding!

Aja!

Sing one of your songs.

Sing what you feel. Come on.

What? No. I feel uncomfortable.

I need you.

My name is Jerrica, and

if you keep watching,

I'm going to play you a

song that I wrote, obviously.

Hi. I'm Jerrica. Oh.

Oh, hey, I didn't see you there.

I'm Jerrica Benton and this is my song.

I...

I need to cut this.

Ohh!

Hi.

I'm Jem.

Maybe I'm alone out here

And nobody's listening

Maybe I'm the only

one My voice is echoing

What if I'm wrong

And there's a million

others just like me

No, you're not alone Alone

We can be alone together

No, you're not alone Alone

We can feel alone together

And no, you're not alone

Alone

I can see the flashing lights

Oh, but can they see me?

Everybody shines so bright

I'm in the dark hiding

What if I'm wrong and there's

a million others just like me?

And no, you're not alone Alone

We can be alone together

And no, you're not alone Alone

We can feel alone together

And no, you're not alone

Hi.

I'm Jem.

You done?

Hey, Kimber. Um,

I'm sorry, but you're gonna have

to figure this one out for yourself.

You didn't record anything?

I don't know what you're so scared of, J.

But whatever it is, you don't have to be.

Besides, I think you look pretty

good in your rockin' hair and makeup.

Uh, guys, something's

happening with the Internet.

Just unplug the cable thingy

and then plug it back in again.

Really, Shana? "The cable thingy"?

No, I mean, like, something's

happening that you really need to see.

Okay.

Oh, my gosh!

Shana, you have to come here right now.

- I don't know how this is happening.

- Are you serious right now?

- Hurry up.

- Every time I refresh it, it just keeps going up.

- What?

- No way!

Click that one.

I'm here with Erica

Raymond, founder and CEO

of recording empire

Starlight Enterprises.

All the Web's been talking about

is this video posted by an

artist who only goes by Jem.

This Jem video, it's magic.

Do you have any advice for an

emerging young artist like her?

- What's going on?

- Absolutely.

Jem, if you're out

there, check your in-box.

- Oh, my God!

- Mm-hmm.

- Is that me?

- Yes!

- No! I deleted this.

- Jerrica, she's a huge deal.

Check your YouTube account.

Guys, the Erica Raymond just

asked Jem to do three shows in LA.

- That is crazy!

- Amazing.

Look at the money that she's offering.

You. Did you do this,

Kimber? What the hell?

- You know how I feel about these things.

- No, this is awesome!

We're sisters and we're

supposed to help each other.

You helped me with the music video, so I helped

you overcome your crippling online shyness

and boom, win-win.

And you're wearing the necklace I designed.

36,000 freakin' people

just saw my necklace.

- Can you please link that to my Etsy account?

- Yeah, what's your log-in?

J, don't worry. The video's

public, but my account's private.

So nobody knows who

uploaded it or who's in it.

All they know is that she calls herself

Jem, and they seriously like her.

Actually, they love her!

Except that guy. And that one. Scroll down.

Ooh, that guy really doesn't like her.

Oh, my God! I'm not letting

you be upset about this.

You're Internet famous. That's the second

best thing to being actually famous.

Jerrica, she does have a point. You're

getting hits like water-skiing squirrel.

- I love water-skiing squirrel!

- Yes! He's so cute.

When they first put him on the thing

and then he just balances on the water.

- He doesn't even fall off. I can't even do that.

- Like, so badly. So badly.

You're way more than

water-skiing squirrel.

J, you can't be upset about this.

This doesn't happen every day.

The Erica Raymond just direct-messaged us.

I always knew you'd go viral.

- That just sounds gross.

- You're gonna be famous!

There you go.

The version of me that they want

doesn't... It doesn't exist, Aunt Bailey.

If I go on stage, they're

not gonna see this... Jem.

They're gonna see this small-town wannabe

who writes songs to sing in her shower.

I think you're absolutely right.

You are no rock star.

Right. Yeah. No, that's

exactly what I'm saying.

I think you have the potential to

become something so much greater.

Aunt Bailey, just...

please, just listen, okay?

No, you listen.

There are some ideas,

some voices that are too

special to keep hidden.

Those are your father's words.

You know, when we were growing up here

in this house, our lives were here.

But your dad was always talking

about what was out there.

And as soon as he was old enough,

he went out to make it happen.

I think you're more like your dad.

Maybe your life is out there.

It's just that I know that this could

really help with the

family and the house and...

This is not about the house.

Okay, this is about you

not going your whole life

wondering what would have happened

if you had taken that chance.

Besides, when was the last time

you had the chance to go back to LA?

Hmm?

Think about it. Okay?

Yeah!

- Morning.

- Good morning.

You with the band?

Something like that.

Zipper.

No, my name is Zipper, ma'am.

- Oh!

- You'll have to forgive my associate.

He's terrible at first impressions.

I:

Am

Cold

Blooded

Cold-blooded

Cold-blooded

I'm a cold-blooded woman

- Erica Raymond, Starlight Enterprises.

- Hi!

Bailey. From... my house.

It's such an honor to meet you.

Thank you.

- Would you like to come in?

- That's why we're here.

Let me see your armory

- That knife looks nice and sharp

- Girls! Downstairs!

Okay, I'll be right there. One second.

Miss Raymond, you can

make yourself at home.

- The girls will be down in a minute.

- Great.

- Can I get you something to drink?
