c h a s e - t h e - s t a r s -- you should know by now that my name is daisy kerry van leer, but please call me dais (like daze), or dee. i like them much better! although my fake i.d. says differently, i'm really seventeen years old. cool, huh? i guess i could be classified as a celebrity, but i prefer not to be labeled. i grew up in the beautiful city of dallas, texas, but i certainly like this town much more! want to know how i act? three words can tell you that: i'm optimistic, infinitely curious, and amiable. yeah, i'm pretty amazing, aren't i? some say i look just like selena gomez, though i can't see it! jealous? i know. just look at how glamorous my life really is:
the story of how daisy came to be is somewhat typical. her mother, sicily ramone, was a normal teenage girl. with parents that liked to travel. with a huge school-girl crush on the high school football jock james van leer. everything was perfection for the young couple. in almost every picture they have from their high school years that they've shown daisy, wide smiles are plastered on their faces. they were the sort of couple you could look at, and just see how in love they were, and are. along with being just infatuated with each other. both sicily and james were good looking. and has a seventeen year old male with a good looking girlfriend james wanted sex. it was a natural process. and after a couple of conversations about the subject sicily knew she wanted james to be her first and last, she was also hell bent (along with the rest of the town) that they would be married by the end of their senior year, and he was "the one" for her.
the first time they had sex, it was fine. nothing earth shattering happened. the second time however, something seemed to go wrong. the parents have never spilled exactly what went "wrong" to daisy, whether they didn't use a condom at all or it broke, but something happened and james had gotten her pregnant. sicily knew her parents were going to murder her for this, but she hoped james would be happy. sicily always had a picture of how her future would be with james, how they'd be married with kids. and while she didn't expect kids this early, she was happy to welcome. and sicily thought he would be also. however, james didn't take it has planned. james had a full scholarship to USC, something he couldn't and wouldn't trade. he loved sicily, but this was just so much more important. it was then the young couple decided to go their separate ways, a mutual understanding, though sicily was left heart broken.
since her parents didn't disown her completley, sicily decided to accompany them on their travels, instead of staying to finish her senior year. when sicily was seven months pregnant it dawned on her that she needed to stop being in a different timezone every thursday and to settle down. booking a flight to dallas, texas. sicily pulled up to her grandmother's front porch to find james van leer sitting on the steps. shocked as ever sicily when out to meet him. and it was there, that the young couple ignited the flame that never left the two of them. james wanted to be with sicily, and he wanted to be here for her - and his daughters. and from that moment on, the two stuck together. and on november tenth, kenya and daisy van leer were brought into this world.
when the girls were two years old the couple got into a major fight. which caused them to seperate. sicily took both of her girls, refusing to split them up, and headed off to los angeles. while james went back to miami. in miami sicily found herself an office job that allowed her to supply the basic needs to her family. what she didn't know however, was that her best friend - who kept the girls as she worked - was allowing james to see kenya and daisy. it was kept a secret for months, until one day when sicily came home early and found him. furious at first, she quickly calmed down and understood that they were his also. and he did have a right to see them. it was during that conversation that the couple agreed to try to be together again. they were both more mature and responsible than the first time around. and both determined to make it work.
when the girls were eleven fate came knocking ont heir doors, or rather strolling into an ice-cream parlor. as sicily was treating the girls to some cones, a man came in and said he was interested in seeing the girls act. happy as ever, because every little girl wants to be famous, kenya and daisy pleaded with their parents to let try it and to call the man. and at dinner time that night james gave the okay. when they were thirteen years old the girls got their first role on a small tv family show. it was nothing major. and the show was canceled after one season. however, the girls got another call. that show was relatively bigger and expanded their fan base, and made their face known. by the time they were fifteen the girls were house hold names. with daisy taking the lead as the "more famous" twin. daisy never asked for the lead, nor was it her goal to be the more famous sister. it just sort of happened. and it happened quickly. up until they were fifteen it always seemed that they were equal in popularity. but she began to notice. and when she did she began to panic. the entire thing was riding on her. she had to be her best. and it was from that stress that daisy's eating disorder began to flourish.
daisy's eating disorder started out small. it was even normal at first. she was just a teenage girl who started to watch what she was eating. and as her body was making changes, she decided that maybe a work out routine was good - just to tone up her body. her parents thought it was fantastic. and her manager liked it also. the better daisy looked, the more male viewers the show would get, which broadened her fan base and appeal. however it didn't stop there. it quickly manifested. soon she was skipping meals. and in seven months daisy was a pro at faking eating and had learned the tricks of anorexia and bulimia. she knew how to sit down with her family and make it look like she was eating when she really wasn't. she knew how to cook things in the microwave so the smell would spread through the house and then claim she already had breakfast earlier than the rest. she knew how to throw up on point, and where to do it so her family wouldn't hear. it's been something daisy was been struggling with every since. no matter how thin she gets, it never seems to be enough for her. callie , sixteen , eastern .
