Three ways to warn Scotty

"Scotty, Scotty where are you I want to talk to you." the southern belle called she could here something in the kitchen. Going in she discovered Scotty with his hand in the cookie jar, literally, he was a bright red as he slowly removed his hand from the jar and smiled nervously.

"So Lauren,thought you were in your room" "I was I wanted to see you,we should talk"

Five minutes later

They had moved outside and were looking at the setting sun, Lauren on Scotty's shoulder

"so you realize that your going to win right?"

"How do you know?" the down to earth country boy answered.

"well I just have a feeling I mean you've never been in the bottom and your amazing" And not just as a singer she thought as a person as well. Though she didn't dare say that out loud.

"Well I suppose but I can never be sure."

"Well," the blond said. "if you win I'll plant one on you as congratulations" she said then got up and went to bed leaving Scotty to contemplate his feelings and her words.

"hey Lauren watcha doin?" Scotty asked upon discovering the girl hanging upside down, her face beet red.

"How long have you been like this?" he inquired "your face is really red.". She flipped over and shook her head clearing it of the blood

"Bout five minutes why? Did you need something? Is there an emergency?" she fired off questions so fast Scotty couldn't help but laugh "No nothings wrong I just wanted to see you Haley and James are visiting something about we're to young to be here on our own" the blond huffed yet went inside with Scotty laughing as he followed

Inside

"Hey,it's the baby and the country boy finally decided to join us huh!" Haley said when they got in,she stood up and gave them both hugs

"Yep figured we couldn't hide forever so we decided to show up" Lauren said they all sat down and caught up on what had happened.

Later

"Lauren you can't hide it for ever you know" Haley said once they were alone

"Hide what?" the 16 year old said innocently

"That you like Scotty! We're not stupid! everyone else saw it except the person it involved."

"I don't know, he just wants to be friends so what's the point" she answered

"The point is what if he thinks the same exact thing he wants more and he thinks you just want to be friends he could be in the exact same position your in?" Haley said suddenly she squeaked

"I got it" she exclaimed

"Got what?" Lauren asked warily. Haley sat up tall and announced proudly

"I double dog dare you to kiss Scotty on national television in the finale!"

"will it make you be quiet if I do?"Lauren asked when the 20 year old replied all Lauren could say was yes.
