So, I got really annoyed with this chapter. I wanted it to be perfect but I don't think I could get it exactly how I wanted it. So I settled on this. lol

I hope you like it. Don't yell at me if it's crappy:)

My knees were shaking and my palms were sweaty around the microphone as I watched Anoop being judged.

"Hey." Adam said from behinde me. That big geeky smile that I hadn't been able to hold back for the past couple days whenever he was around broke out on my face.

"Hey." My voice was shakey. He put a hand on my shoulder.

"I can't believe you're this nervous. You're gonna be amazing." I turned around and smiled up at him.

"Promise?" He grabbed my hand. He smiled at me and I forgot what I was so worried about.

"I promise." He hugged me and they told me I had two minutes to be on stage.

"Go get 'em." Alli ran over to me and kissed my cheek. She had already sung and was so great.

"Kill 'em, baby girl." I forced a smile and walked out on the stage. The audiance cheered and I went to the middle of the stage.

"And we're back on in 3, 2, 1."

"Hello, welcome back to American Idol." Ryan said, standing next to Paulas chair. "It is Micheal Jackson week and up next is Audriana Flowers, singing ABC by the Jackson Five." I took a deep breath as the music started. I gave it my all and actualy started to really enjoy it and forget about the cameras. The nerves came back as I faced the judges. Paula and Kara had huge smiles on their faces.

"Yo, yo. Audriana. I liked it. I think you're a very good singer, exspecialy when you consider how young you are. You were full of energy and you sang your heart out. The only thing I would say I had a problem with is that you didn't make it your own as much as you could. It wasn't Karaoke, but it didn't show me as much of your personality as I would have liked." I nodded and smiled at Randy and turned to Kara.

"Audriana, I have liked you from the very begining. Tonight, I think you gave it your all, and you rocked it." She smiled. I turned to Paula.

"Audri, you have so much talent. You're extremly confident for a seventeen year old. You did so well on that stage tonight and I am so proud of you. I think you will be back next week." She clapped and I thanked her. Simon smiled and I swallowed hard.

"I didn't like you at first, and I didn't want to put you in the top 13. I wasn't sure you were going to be good enough or could handle this." My stomache fell as I waited for the bashing. "I'm happy to say you proved me wrong." My mouth dropped open a little and everyone cheered as Ryan walked over to me.

"How was it being on this stage for the first time?" He asked, putting an arm around my shoulders.

"It was amazing. I was nervous at first, but once I got started I had so much fun."

"And how do you feel about the judges comments?"

"Good. I was kinda scared. I'm glad they liked it."

"Coming up after the break is Adam Lambert, doing Black or White." I ran backstage to see him before he went out.

"You were so great, Ana." He said, pulling me into a tight hug. "Best of tonight."

"Yea, well you haven't gone yet." He pulled away and rolled his eyes.

"I gotta go out there."

"Good luck. You're gonna amaze everyone."

"Thanks, sweetie." He kissed my forhead and ran out to the stage. I stared after him.

"You did such a good job!" Alli sqweeled, wrapping her arms around me and picking me up off the ground.

"Careful, Alli. I'm breakable." She set me down.

"You were great." Lil hugged me.
"Hope you're ready to go home." Megan said, walking over to Kris and touching his arm. I ignored her and turned my attention to the show.

"...Adam Lambert, doing Black or White." The crowd clapped and cheered as Adam started. I knew he had them from the first note. He used the whole stage, connecting with the crowd and the judges. He threw a few sexy glances at the camera that made my heart beat faster and he finished on that freakishly amazing note. As soon as he was done the whole place was on their feet. He smiled so big I thought his cheeks were going to crack. All the judges pretty much told him he was going to win the show, and I couldn't say I didn't agree. He ran backstage and attacked me with a hug.

"Was I okay?"

"No you sucked." I said sarcasticly. He laughed and then looked at me.

"I'm gonna go see my family. Wanna meet them?" A secret part of me was excited that he wanted me to meet his family.

"Well, I really should go see my family."

"Right. I'll see you later then?" I nodded and went off to find my family. Someone grabbed me from behinde and sqeezed me.

"My little girl! You were so great!" I turned around.

"Hi, Mom." Her eyes were wet. "Mom," I whined. "Why are you crying?"

"I'm just so proud of you, Audri." She hugged me again.

"You really were great." My dad smiled, kissing my cheek.

"Thanks, Dad."

"Sup, Audri?" Abby punched my shoulder. I smiled, I was happy she wasn't making a huge deal. She knew I didn't want that.

"Same old stuff. You know, singing for all of America. The usual." She smiled.

"Who's the hottie eyeing you? He's got a great voice." I turned to see Adam smiling at me.

"Ana," He said, walking up to us with a group of people following him.

"Hey, Adam." He hugged me and turned to the group.

"I want you to meet some people. You guys, this is Audriana. Ana, this is my mom." She shook my hand.

"You are beautiful." I blushed. Adam rolled his eyes at her.

"Thank you, nice to meet you Mrs. Lambert."

"Please, call me Leila."

"This is my dad, Eber." He smiled and nodded at me.

"Pleasure to meet you, Audriana."

"This is my friend, Brad." He just winked at me and smiled, making me laugh.

"And this is my brother, Neil." Neil opend his mouth to speak, but Adam held up a hand. "And he will now refrain from making pervy comments." He closed his mouth and shook my hand.

"Hey." He smiled. I noticed that Adam and Neil looked alot alike, and they both looked like their dad.

"Nice to meet you all. Everyone," I turned to my family. "This is Adam. Adam, this is my mom." They shook hands.

"Mrs. Flowers."

"Oh, you can call me Sandy."

"Sandy." He nodded.

"This is my dad."

"Call me Don."

"And this is my sister, Abby." She shook his hand, and I knew that look on her face.

"So, how old are you?"

"Abby!" I hit her arm. She rolled her eyes.

"Fine. How old's your brother?" Neil raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Abbigale!" My mom scolded. She sighed and Adam laughed. Our familys talked a little and then they had to leave.

"Do you have Friday off?" I heard Brad ask Adam as I was saying good-bye to his mom.

"No, but I have Saturday off. What are you plotting, Bradly?"

"Well, I wanna go clubbing, and it's just not the same without you."

"I don't know. That's probly not the best idea. Why don't you just come chill at the mansion?"

"Chill with all your American Idol friends? Exciting."

"Some of them are really cool. Come on, I'll even buy some cheap beer and have everyone hit on you." Brad laughed.

"Alright, alright. I'll call you." I didn't even realize that I was staring at them until Abby whispered in my ear.

"He is really hot. But try to be more subtle about the drooling." I snapped my eyes up to her but ignored the comment.

"Are you gonna be here next week?" She nodded.

"When I told my boss you were on the show he said I could have all the time off I needed to support you. So, try to stay on the show for a while."

"Alright." I laughed. We all hugged and my mom started to cry again for no reason. I walked them out to the car and they were gone.

"Hey, wanna give me a ride? Kris ditched me for his wife." He said, walking up beside me.

"Sure." I looked up at him and even in the dark he looked gorgeous. "You owe me." He smiled.

"How bout we go get ice cream? I'll pay."

"You would live off ice cream if you could, wouldn't you?" He shrugged.

"I got a sweet tooth." He took my hand and we walked to my car.

"Put your seatbelt on. I'm not a good driver." He laughed.

"I already guessed that." He put it on and started playing with the radio. His phone started ringing.

"Brad, I'll call...Brad st...Bradly Bell! I will call you later...I'm busy...Okay, bye bye." He sighed and closed his phone.

"Exs." He muttered. We were sitting at a red light and my head snapped over to him.

"Exs?" He bit his lip.

"Um, um, uhg. Damn. I guess I have to tell you now. I mean I already was but, I was gonna wait and-"

"Are you...are you, gay?" I didn't want to offend him. It wasn't a bad thing, I had alot of gay friends. It was just that it felt like someone was digging their nails into my heart right now. He sighed.

"Well, no. If I had to put a label on it, I'd say I'm bi." I suddenly felt like I could breathe better and a small smile crossed my lips.

"So, you like the meat and the taco?" He laughed.

"Yea, I guess I do." I looked down and smiled.

"Ana, the lights green."

"Oh." I started driving, only to be stopped again by another red light. I looked down at my hands on the steering wheel.

"You don't have a problem...with me liking guys?"

"Of course not." I looked over at him. He smiled.

"Good, I didn't know how you'd react." I rolled my eyes.

"You honestly thought I would care?"

"Well, no. Ana, light."

"Well, I don't. I have gay friends you know." He laughed.

"But I'm not gay."

"Right, only half." We got to the ice cream stand and he got this excited look on his face. It was adorible and I couldn't help but smile at it as we got out of the car.

"Ana," I looked up at him. "Could you, um, not tell anyone? About me being bi."

"Of course I wont." He smiled and walked up to the counter.

"Hello, welcome to the Whippy Dippy. What can I get you tonight?" A blonde girl asked in a bubbly voice, and she reminded me way to much of Megan. I looked up at the menue and read it over.

"I'll have a cherry cordial flurry."

"What size?"

"Uhm, small." She smiled and wrote it down.

"And for you, sir?"

"Large swirl, in a cone."

"You will not eat all that." He snorted.

"Whatever. Have you ever seen me with ice cream? I eat full containers sometimes."

"That explains it." I said, poking his stomache.

"I know, I needa lose some weight." I frowned at him.

"I was kidding. You don't need to lose a pound."

"No, I needa loose about 15."

"No, you're perfect." I accidently spit out. He smiled and I looked away to hide the red on my cheeks. He poked my stomache.

"Stop." I giggled, pushing his hand away.

"Oh, is someone ticklish?"

"No." He smirked at me and my eyes got wide. He grabbed my sides and started tickleing me. I laughed insanly and tried to push him away.

"Stop...oh my god...Adam....please!" I spit out between laughter. He stopped and smiled at me.

"Here you go." The girl handed us our ice cream.

"Thank you."

"Have a nice night." Adams ice cream was huge. He couldn't eat all of that. We sat down at one of the yellow tables infront of the building.

"So, did you like my family?" He asked suddenly.

"Yea, they were really nice. Your parents seem really in love." He laughed so hard he almost lost his ice cream.

"Don't do that while I'm eating!"

"What?" He was still laughing.

"Ana, my parents have been divorced for years."

"Really? The're so...nice to each other."

"Well I think they may be 'getting back together.'" He made air quotes.

"That's great!" He frowned.

"No. They 'get back together' a couple times a year." I raised an eyebrow, still confused. "Basicaly, the're gonna have sex and if I was still at home I'd have to hear it." He shivered in horror.

"Oh, I see."

"Your family's really nice." He said, changing the subject.

"I guess so, but I think you may have to watch out for Neil. My sister might try to get in his pants." He laughed.

"Trust me, she wouldn't have to try very hard. He's such a man whore."

"Well then, I guess the're perfect for each other."

"Doesn't Abby have a daughter?"

"Yupp, Melanie." I smiled. "I miss her. She's three. She looks just like me, only prettier." He shook his head.

"I doubt that." I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. He looked down, so I dropped it.

"Damn! You already ate half of that thing?!"

"I love ice cream."

"I know, but that's just...I don't even know."

"I'll probly want more by the time we get home." I shook my head.

"You're crazy."

"So I've been told." He finished the over sized ice cream before I was even half way done with mine.

"Geeze." He smiled.

"You gonna eat that?" He pointed a painted finger at my flurry. I rolled my eyes.

"What? I was serious." I shoved a bite into my mouth.

"Yes, I am." I ate the rest and he waited patiently. By the time we got home, it was way past the curfew for the Idols.

"Well, we're in trouble." I sighed.

"Nah, I texted Kris and had him and Alli cover for us." I smiled.

"Good thinking." We got out of the car and he grabbed my hand as we walked to the door. I went to open it, but he stopped me.

"Wait." I looked up at him and he was staring down at me.

"What?" I whispered. I suddenly was finding it hard to breathe.

"I just, I wanna try something." He put his hands in the small of my back and pulled me closer to him, inching his face closer to mine. He paused for a second, then gently pressed his lips to mine. I didn't respond at first, I was shocked. Then I realized what was happening. I wraped my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer to him. My mind started spinning, and I didn't care who saw. The world stopped moving and noone else exsisted. It was just me and Adam, his soft freckled lips against mine. I felt him smile and he pulled away. He looked into my eyes and moved his hands.

"What was that for?" I asked, breathless.

"I just wanted to see how that would feel."

"How did that feel?" He smiled.

"Good." I felt a huge smile break out on my face.

"Good enough to do it again?" He smirked and pulled me toward him again. He pushed his lips to mine, with a little more force. I tangled my fingers in his hair and he pulled me into him more. I felt his tongue run over my lower lip, asking for acsess. I opened my mouth a little. I didn't know how long we kissed for and I didn't care. The house could have caught on fire and I wouldn't have noticed. He pulled back again and let out a shakey breath.

"Wanna go inside?" I nodded and he took my hand again and led me in. The house was quiet. I guessed most of them were in bed.

"Wanting more ice cream yet?" He laughed.

"I wouldn't mind it." I rolled my eyes.

"You're gonna die from sugar over load." He laughed.

"Are you going to bed?" I looked at the clock and realized it was 12:30 and we had to get up at 7.

"Yea, I guess I should." He walked me up to my room and we stopped outside the door.

"Well, good night, Ana." He he leaned down and placed a quick kiss on my lips.

"Night, Adam."

"I'll see you tomarrow." He kissed my cheek and walked down the hall, into his room. After he shut his door, I stood there for a couple seconds, unable to move. I was tempted to pinch myself and see if I was awake. I walked into the room, in a daze. I layed on the bed and my mind started going crazy. One half of my brain was yelling how amazing tonight was, performing on the stage for the first time, seeing my family, Adam. The other half was yelling at me, telling me how hurt I was going to get. Nothing could really happen between me and Adam because I was underage. And I wasn't sure what I wanted to happen, anyways. Since Jason I had never wanted to be with anyone, or let anyone in. There was something so different about Adam, and he was making me break the one rule I had for myself. Don't fall. I had been kind of ignoring the fact that I had fallen for him, hard. If he didn't feel the same way it didn't matter how I felt. But now he did feel the same way and it had me very confused and panicked. But when his arms where around me, it didn't feel wrong or dangerous. It felt safe. It felt like I wasn't going to get hurt, but like something amazing was going to come out of it. I smiled a little. Then a small voice in my head reminded me that I used to feel the same way in Jasons arms. Adam would never hurt me like Jason, though. The voice reminded me that I used to tell myself Jason would never hurt me. I wanted to throw that dumb little voice infront of a bus. I sighed. I didn't even know what he wanted. For all I knew he would pretend like it never even happend. A big part of me wanted him to forget about it, a bigger part wanted something more to come out of all this. I closed my eyes and I felt the exhustian of the day fall over me. I yawned. Tomarrow I would talk to Adam about everything and get my thoughts straightened out. That both terrifyed and excited me beyond words. I slowly fell asleep, going over what I would say to him in my head.

The next morning Allis alarm went off at five. I rolled over and covered my head with the pillow. It didn't drown out the obnoxsious beeping so I threw the pillow at it.

"Hey!" Alli yelled, throwing it back at me. I groaned.

"Allison, we don't have to be up for another two hours." I felt her sit on my bed.

"Well, we're going to the gym." I cracked one eye open to look at her.

"Who the hell is we?" She smiled.

"Me and you." I closed my eye.

"No."

"Not giving you the option, sweetie." She pulled the covers off of me.

"No." I repeated.

"Come on. Gotta work that booty." She pulled on my arm.

"I want to be fat." I rolled over.

"You gotta work off all that ice cream." I sighed.

"I had a small. I'll work it off later."

"We can make Adam come."

"Yea, he had a large. Go bug him."

"Speaking of Adam, you two were out late last night."

"Yea, we got ice cream." She pulled on my arm harder and I gave in with a sigh, sitting up.

"I know. Why?" I shrugged, letting out a yawn.

"He likes ice cream."

"Did anything else happen?" I was too tired to be annoyed or worried about what to say.

"No, Alli." She pouted.

"So you guys didn't have uber hot, kinky, rough, sex?" I rolled my eyes.

"Only in your extremely twisted dreams."

"Well, whatever. Go get ready. I'll see if he wants to come."

"He doesn't. No normal person wants to go to the gym at five AM." She laughed once.

"And since when is Adam normal?" She had a point.

"Whatever, go ask." I forced myself up and to the bathroom to wash my face, hoping it would wake me up. Adam stumbled into the bathroom, his hair a mess and his eyeliner smeared on his face. He was in boxers and a white muscle shirt.

"Alli said I have to workout cuz I'm fat." He whined. I held back a smile, he was too adorable for his own good.
"I gotta go, too. Apparently I need to 'work my booty.'" He sighed.

"Fine. If you go, I'll go." I smiled, and he smiled back.

"Maybe, we can lock her up some where and go back to bed." He shook his head.

"Not worth the hell she'd cause when we let her out." I pulled out my tooth brush and squeezed some toothpaste on it.

"Who ever said we were gonna let her out?" He laughed.

"You would miss her too much." I shrugged, brushing my teeth.

"I woulbn't mibss the vake up caws." I slurred, mouth full of minty paste. He smiled and bit his freckled lip.

"I can't argue with that." I spit and rinsed out my mouth, then wipped it with a towel.

"That tooth paste is too minty." I complained, walking back to the sink.

"Hey," He put a finger under my chin and made me look up at his face. Even with a little bit of sleep still in his eyes, they were fierce and breath-takingly beautiful. He pressed his lips to mine for a second, then pulled away and rubbed his thumb softly over my bottom lip. "You know, this is the first time I've seen you without makeup or anything." I blushed and looked down.

"I know. I look like shit. Bu-" He pushed his mouth onto mine again and it knocked the breath right out of me.

"No. I was going to say you look beautiful. You're a natural beauty." I smiled.

"Well, I like you without makeup, too. You shouldn't cover up those freckles." I put my hand on his face and rubbed my finger over one right by his nose. He started leaning towards me again, but we heard the bedroom door swing open. He let go of me and took a step back, so he was standing in the doorway and i moved back to the mirror to brush my hair.

"Hurry up you guys. I'm ready to bounce." Adam rolled his eyes as Alli pushed him out of the way so she could get into the bathroom.

"Uhg." I grunted. I walked to my closet to figure out what to wear.

"I better go change." He turned around and winked at me, then walked out the room. I smiled after him and Alli laughed.

"Geeze, you guys want each other." I made a show of turning my head to her and rolling my eyes. I wasn't sure if I could lie to Allison and I wasn't gonna test it on something big like this. I put on some running shorts, a tank top and my gym shoes and walked out into the hall. Alli was pulling on Adams arms, trying to get him out of his room. They were whisper yelling, trying not to wake anyone.
"Adam freaking Lambert!" Alli yanked on his arm again.

"Sleeeep!" He groaned. I walked over to them and pushed Alli out of the way.

"Hell no," I grabbed his hand. "You said you would go if I would. And I gotta go. So get your cute little butt in the car. Now." He sighed.

"Fine! You owe me big time!" He stomped off toward the front door. Alli opened her mouth, but I held up a finger.

"Shut up. No comments about the cute thing." She opened her mouth again. "Or I'm going back to bed." She sighed.

"Geeze. Okay." We walked outside and Adam was on the hood of his car, asleep. I held back an 'Aww' that would get Alli on my case again.

"He's so tired." I laughed.

"Now I gotta wake his ass up again."

"But he looks so peacful."

"Don't care." She walked over and opened up the car door then slammed on the horn. He jumped up and almost fell on his face.

"Bitch." He mummbled. He walked to Allis car and got in the back seat. I got in the front.

"I'll kick her ass for you later." He smiled slightly and layed down.

"Thanks, babe." I smiled as Alli got in the car. We drove off and I leaned my head on the window. Allison was talking but noone was listening. I was drifting to sleep when she cut off the engine.

"Alright. Time to wake up losers." I got out of the car and opened up the back door. He groaned.

"I feel your pain." He rolled over so his face was in the seat and sighed. I looked up at Allison and she was facing the building so I kissed his cheek. I felt him smile under my lips.

"Please get up. I can't deal with Alli alone." He rolled back over.

"Kiss." He stuck his lips out. I glanced at Alli again and kissed him, lingering for a second.

"Now up." He pulled himself out of the car and dragged himself into the gym.

"It smells so bad in here." Adam complained, still bitchy from being half asleep.

"I know, it smells like sweat and-"

"Death." He cut me off.

"Yea, death. That works."

"You guys are such babies. Here are your guest passes." Adam took his and threw it on the floor.

"Opps. Lost mine. Can I go home now?" I laughed.

"Pick it up." Alli growled. He rolled his eyes and picked it up. Allison led us into the gym and got on a tredmill.

"Maybe we can take her keys and steal her car so we can go home."

"You guys know I can hear you, right?"

"Let's just workout. It couldn't hurt." He pouted.

"Yes it could." We gave in and worked out. I even started to break a sweat. By the time we left I was ready for a long shower. On the way home Adam and I were more awake. We all danced to 'Shake it' by Metro Station. I laughed at Adam, shaking his ass on the seat. We got home and noone was up yet so we all decided to take a shower.

"Me first." Alli said. "I got the sweatiest." She ran into the bathroom and me and Adam sat on the couch. He turned on the TV and put an arm around me. He flipped threw the channels and stopped.

"The big comfy couch!" We said at the sme time. He laughed and kissed my cheek. I looked up at him and knew it was now or never. I had to ask, to get the answers we both needed.

"Adam?" He must have heard something in my voice because he turned to me and muted the TV.

"Yea?" I let out a heavy breath. He pulled me into his chest. "Talk to me, Ana."

"I, well, uhg. I hate these conversations." He kissed my head.

"Talk." He repeated.

"I was just wondering, uhm, what's,er, you know, going on between us?" He let out a short laugh.

"Aww. Is that what this is about? You had me worried. I don't know. What do you want to be going on between us?"

"I don't know. This kinda thing scares me." He nodded, understanding.

"Well, I really like you. But I think what happens should be up to you." I looked up at him and I wasn't sure where this was going, but I knew what I wanted.

"I don't think I could be just friends with you." I whispered. His kissed my lips softly.

"I couldn't either."

"I'm scared." I confessed.

"I would never hurt you, Ana. Never." I swallowed hard. My heart beat faster because I believed him.

"I know. But, let's not tell anyone right now. It'll just cause problems." He smirked.

"You just don't want to give Alli the satisfaction of being right." I smiled.

"She'd never let anyone forget she was right." I leaned up and kissed him, wrapping my arms around his neck and leaning into him. Our kissing turned into a full on makeout session. He pulled me on top of him as he layed down on the couch. He had one hand on my lower back and one running threw my hair. He kissed along my jaw line, down my neck, and along my collar bone. My skin started to tingle and my head started to spin. We heard someone on the steps and I jumped up, moving to the chair next to the couch. Adam shook his head, laughing at me. I glared at him and he turned to the TV.

"Adam!" Megan squeeled, running down the steps. I rolled my eyes and his face twisted into an annoyed expression.

"Meg." He grumbled, not turning from the Big Comfy Couch. She sat down next to him and kissed his cheek. I ground my teeth. He crinckled his nose and pushed her away.

"Ana, come help me make breakfast." He got up and we went to the kitchen.

"Bitch is gonna get her ass kicked." He kissed my nose.

"She's not worth it." People started to come down and we ate and got ready.

"Ready?" Alli asked Adam and Kris as we were about to leave.

"Let's roll." Kris said. We walked out to the drive way and I stopped, grabbing Adams hand when I saw someone leaning against my car. I squeezed his hand and he wrapped an arm around me. I looked up at him and he was staring back at me, confused and worried.

"Hey." He said, stepping away from the car. I took a step so I was hiding behinde Adam. I started to shake.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

It makes my day:)
