I ran away . I just kept running not bother looking back . i have my pink hockey bag filled with all the stuff I need...For now. My name is Merceedez Diamond. It all started about two years ago with my big brother left me , my mom and dad to go to Hollywood with his three best friends. Never saw him since. Well... that's wrong I have seen him...on CD covers, posters, even on TV! But since he left my dad died, my mom getting re-married to Jake Trade. She died two months ago and Jake abusing me . last week I finally made enough money to buy a plane ticket to L.A. and my social worker says , that i either have to

A) stay with Jake,

Or B) go and see if my brother will let me stay with him .

I am going to ... somewhat go with B . (:

I went on the plane leaving all my Minnesota roots behind...time for me to finally start over. I got a cab to the Palm Woods , 'Home to the Future Famous' , leaving me with 2000 dollars left. I went to the front counter a fat man with glasses...greeted?... me... while eating a tuna and onion sandwhich...yeah...his breath stinks.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ? I HAVE NO TIME . FOR YOU LITTLE GAMES." He yelled.

I raised an eyebrow then moved my hair to the side.

"No, i am here to live so can I please get reregistered?"

He then looked nervous.

"Oh ! oh yes Miss...?"

I looked and smiled. "Diamond"

"Oh, great another James Diamond fan! Now please tell me your real last name." I looked at him.

"No! Really my last name is Diamond!" I pulled out my wallet with my birth certificate , health card etc.

He nodded and I got my room keys.

"Apartment 2K"

I smiled and skipped towards the elevator ... and look for the cat dragged in. Kendall and James.

I walked past them not saying anything. Then I heard whispers behind me.

"New girl! Niice" i heard James. Okay...that was wrong on SO many levels.

"Dude...she looked super familiar...but she's hot." Gross.

I went up onto floor 2 . and saw Logan and Carlos. Greeatt.

Carlos went into his apartment ... i think . and Logan kept looking at me and then his eyes widen .

"MERCEE?" he yelled. Really Logan? Scream louder.

I gave him a weak smile and waved. He quickly ran over and gave me a big hug. "Logan...can't breathe" he let go .

"Oh my god, what are you doing here? The guys are going to flip out !" he said and kept going I just muted him out for a while.

"Wait...Logan. How did you recognize me?"

He rolled his eyes. "Please Mercee, your the only one I know with James exact hair colour and eyes, and your the only girl I know that would go to Hollywood with a Hockey back that has Diamond with Diamonds on the side."

"Wow. At least SOMEBODY recognized me."

He cocked his head to the side. "who didn't?"

"James and Kendall , I just passed them , they think I am...really attractive."

Logan made a face. Probably thinking that James thinking his baby sister is hot.

Out of nowhere Carlos comes out with his hockey helmet on and a corn dog in one hand and a hockey stick with the other. He was complaining about something to Logan about why no one in a horror movie won't listen to him. Then he looked up at me.

"Mercee? Mercee DIAMOND?" he asked.

"Uhm, Hey" I said and smiled. I quickly unzipped my bag and got out my hockey helmet. Right before Carlos hugged me against the wall.

"I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" he yelled. Carlos is definitely stronger than Logan.

"Can't...BREATHE" he waited about a minute before Logan pulled him away .

Then my old best friend in the whole world came up from the elevator with her mom. Katie Knight.

"MERCEEDEZ!" she squealed.

"KATIE!" we both ran up and hugged each other.

"Why didn't we get hugs like that?" Carlos and Logan complained.

"because Katie didn't try to SMOTHER ME TO DEATH."

Me and Katie went to my apartment to sort my stuff out. And we caught up a bit.

"You know...James has been depressed lately ." I looked at her concerned.

"he's been drinking, he's been missing you so much...Gustovo wouldn't give him anytime off to go and visit you." My heart almost fell .

"James...has been drinking?" Katie just nodded. "how much?"

She bit her lip hoping I wouldn't ask that.

"One too many.." was all she said.

"I-I have to see him"
