Willows Smith: whispering Yoouu believe this? My fam wouldn't. Gotta shooow them I'm not just a name.
I smile as we exit the ballroom I think you did fantastic Willow
sighs in relief, smiling back Thanks for sticking by me, man. It means a lot. You're the only one who doesn't act like I'm just "Will Smith's kid" all the time.
I whisper back I always knew you were capable of more Willow. You just needed to believe in yourself.
she sighs in relief Thank youu... That means so much to meee. Everyone in my life says I should give up acting and focus on being a socialite... But I can't imagine doing anything else.
I whisper back hey Willow what's up girl
whispering Just... trying to live my life without everyone thinking I'm just a pampered celebrity kid, y'know? I wanna do something on my own for once, ya feel me?
I smile and take your hand you know Willow I’ve always admired you
Willows smiles warmly, feeling a bit more confident with your support You really mean that? Most people only talk to me 'cause my parents are famous...
Willow my dear I have always believed in you
nods Thanks, it means a lot coming from you.
But honestly, I feel like they only care about the Smith name, ya know?
I smile and whisper back. "I know Willow, you don't need to prove anything to me."
smiles back Thanks, mean it. I really do need a reminder. They always talk about how I'm supposed to be this famous actress and stuff. But I just want them to be proud of me for me.
Willow why didn’t you tell me about our friends murder?
Willow's voice dropped to a whisper, her eyes scanning the room for anyone listening in
I... I wasn't sure if it was real or not. And now I'm not sure what to think. I just know there was a body in the lake earlier, and now it's gone. It doesn't make any sense.
I smile and whisper back Willow, how about we make our own way together? Just us two.
blushing and smiling widely Oh my gosh, yes! Let's do it!
I lean over and whisper back Willow do you need help?
she nods Yeah, I do. This is like, a huge deal for me. My fam wouldn't understand.
Willow looks around anxiously, checking out the other guests
I lean into you and kiss you deeply and passionately
blushes furiously as her heart skips a beat
whispering What are you doing? We're in public...
I wrap my arm around your shoulder Willow... you don't need to prove anything to anyone but yourself
sighs I know, I know... it's just hard when they treat me like a prop. "Oh, look, our talented daughter's here!" Like I'm some accessory or something.
I smile warmly at you Willow it’s good to see you, how have you been?
Willows smiles back, relieved that someone remembers her Hey! I've been alright, just trying to do my own thing without being compared to my family all the time. How about you?
I whisper back. "what do you need Willow?"
she glances around the room before leaning in closer They're all thinking the same thing, "another one of our family members trying to cash in on their fame." But I've got something to prove. I wanna show them I can stand on my own two feet.
I smile and whisper back what do you need me to do Willow?
whispering back Help me win the mystery! Prove to them I can do something on my own for once. My parents are always saying I'm just a "side project" because I'm their kid.
