Update! lol This chapter is sorta kinda filler so that I can get to the next chapter and things can happen. lol Anyways, I hope you enjoy(:


"So, what's this big crisis that interrupted me and Adam's make up time?" She sat down on the bed next to me and crossed her legs Indian style.

"You know how you're in love with Adam?" I felt the confused look cross my face.

"Is this a trick question?" She rolled her eyes and stood up so that she was looking me right in the face.

"Be serious about this."

"Yea, I love him. Why?"

"How does it feel? You know, to be in love."

"Why?"

"Answer the damn question please." I sighed.

"It's not something you can really explain, Alli."

"Try." I thought for a second.

"Well, it's like all of a sudden what you want, what makes you happy, it all comes second to what makes him happy. All your plans for the future suddenly change, because they include him now. And everything in your past doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that you're with him now, and you know that nothing will ever change your feelings about him. It changes everything you've ever thought or felt. It makes everything else in life, good or bad seem so…so…pointless." It was a bad description, but it was the best I could give. She sighed and lay down on her bed.

"Damn."

"What?"

"I'm gonna tell you something but you have to promise to keep your mouth shut; like I do with all your little secrets."

"Do you really think I'd tell?"

"No. How do I say this?" I saw a shadow in the doorway and looked around Alli. Anoop was peeking in. I smiled at him. "Audri, this is important. Listen to me." I opened my mouth to tell her Anoop was there but she cut me off. "I think I'm in love with Anoop." My mouth dropped and I saw Anoop's drop at the same time.

"Uh, Alli." I pointed at Anoop. She gasped. They stared at each other for a moment.

"Hey. We were, uh, we were just…you know, playin' around. I knew you were there." Her face turned redder than her hair as she stammered over her words.

"Allison," He said, taking a step toward her.

"Well, I'd love to stay but, yea, bye." I ran out of the room and into the kitchen. Adam was sitting at the counter with a big bowl of ice cream and a pen in one hand. His tongue was peeking out of his freckled lips, his brows furrowed in concentration. I glanced over his shoulder to see what he was writing.

"Hey, no looky." He said, pushing me away.

"What is it?"

"A song. Inspiration struck." He took a big bite of ice cream and made a face when it was too cold. I sat down next to him.

"I don't get to read it?"

"You can when it's done." He told me, with a mouth full of cookies and cream. I grabbed the spoon from his hand and took a bite.

"Is it about me?" He rolled his eyes.

"Do you think everything is about you?" I nodded.

"I sure do." I ate another big bite of ice cream.

"Hey, stop eating all my ice cream." He stuck his bottom lip out.

"Aww. Here's you're stupid ice cream." I stuck my finger in it and wiped some on his cheek.

"Cold." He whined. I smirked and took another bite. He shook his head. He got an evil look on his face and picked up the spoon, acting like he was going to throw it at me.

"Come on, you wouldn't wanna piss me off again when we just made up."

"I'm sorry, but you asked for it." He flung it at me, covering the side of my face and neck in freezing cream.

"Uh!" I squeeled at the cold. It dripped down my face and onto my chest. "Adam Mitchel Lambert!" He took a step back and held up a hand to stop me. He made a puppy face.

"You couldn't hurt someone so cute, could you?"

"It's cold, Adam!" I shivered.

"Here, let me help you clean it up." He grabbed me and started licking it off my face and neck. I giggled and pulled his face to mine.

"You're gross."

"You know you like it." He licked the last drop off my neck.

"Mmm, maybe a little." He laughed, his hot breath tickling the sensative spot on my neck.

"See, this is why I like ice cream so much."

"Because it's a good aphrodisiac?" He smiled and went back to kissing me.

"Audri," Alli said, walking into the room. Her face was red and she looked like she was about to breakdown and cry. I looked at Adam. He smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Come find me when you're done." I nodded and wiped what was left of the ice cream off my face as I followed her to our room.

"What happened?" She took a deep breath.

"Well, he has feelings for me too."

"So why do you look like you're about to slit your wrist?" She shook her head and a tear rolled down her face.

"He said nothing can happen 'cause I'm so young. He said maybe when I'm eight-teen...." She looked down and started crying harder.

"Aww, Alli." I pulled her into a hug. She cried into my shoulder and wrapped one arm around me. "That's good. That means that his feelings for you are strong enough for him to do what's best instead of just doing what he wants."

"I'm only sixteen now."

"That's less than two years Alli." She pulled away.

"What would you do if you couldn't be with Adam for almost two years?" She asked harshley. When she put it that way, I started to feel a little of her pain.

"Well, use that time to make your relationship stronger." I suggested.

"I don't want to! I just want to be with him; now. And what if his feelings go away before I turn eight-teen? What if he meets someone else and falls in love?" I opened and closed my mouth, wanting to say something, but not knowing what would help.
"Why don't we call Abby and Nicole and they can come over for a while. They're like experts on guys." She nodded and hugged me again. It was ten at night but I called them and told them to come over for a while and try to calm Alli down. We went and sat on the couch with Adam while we were waiting. Alli laid her head in my lap. I could hear her crying softly as I stroked her hair and we watched Family Guy.

"My head hurts." She sniffed.

"Here." Adam started rubbing her temples. There was a knock on the door and I went to answer it.

"Is she okay?" Abby asked.

"She will be. She just doesn't realize that right now." We went into the living room.

"Hey Allison." Nikki said.

"Hey." She mumbled.

"Wanna talk?" Abby asked.

"No."

"It'll help you feel better."

"No it won't."

"Uhm, Allison. You have a visitor." Adam mummbled. We all looked up to see Anoop. He waved at us and then looked at Alli with sad eyes. Alli quickly jumped up and ran to our room. Abby and Nikki followed her. I kissed Adam's cheek and went after them.

"Alli, it's gonna be okay." Nikki told her.

"Yea, I know you think that the world is ending, but it's not. I mean, hell, at least he cares enough to think about what's best for you instead of just knocking you up and leaving you alone with a daughter for a year and a half." I rolled my eyes. She was obviously refuring to what happend with her and Kurt.

"Abby, you left him. And you didn't even tell him you were pregnant."

"So? He's still an ass hole." I shook my head and sat on the bed next to Allison.

"Allison, maybe you should talk to Anoop a little more about this. You know, you could talk about what's going to happen until you can have a relationshop. Maybe he won't even see other people." Her faced scrunched up.

"Who the hell is gonna sit around and wait for a dumb kid?"

"Alli, you're hot." Abby assured her. "And sweet, and funny, and you're a great person. Anyone would be happy to have you." She rolled her eyes.

"Yea, right. No guy would want me." Abby rolled her eyes and sighed. She folded her arms across her chest.

"Adam! Kris!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. We all glared at her. "What?"

"Uh?" Kris said as he walked in with Adam behind him. They both raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't Alli hot?"

"She's beautiful." Kris said, still looking confused.

"I'd do you." Nicole said.

"So would I. You know, if I went for chicks." I nodded in agreement with Abby. Allison just glared at the ground. Adam sighed and sat between us, taking Allison's hand.

"Allison, you are beautiful, sweet, funny, and a great person. The only reason Anoop wants to wait to have a relationship is so that it can start out right. He cares too much about you to let things get screwed up 'cause they started on the wrong foot. Whoever ends up with you, whether it's Anoop or not, is going to be one very lucky guy." I smiled up at him, wondering how he could be so smart and cute at the same time. Alli smiled a little too.

"Alright, out!" Abby told him. "Stop doing our job." He stood up and she took his spot on the bed.

"You're just mad 'cause I'm doing it better than you." She stuck her tongue out at him and put her arm around me.

"We can do our job."

"Yea, so out." Nikki shooed him.

"Why are you sticky?" Abby asked, touching my arm and giving me a weird look. Adam laughed.

"There was an ice cream accident earlier."

"Accident?" I glared at him.

"You so liked it." He licked his lips and winked at me.

"Ice cream as an aphrodisiac? Brilliant." Abby said.

"I know." Adam said, proud of himself. I rolled my eyes.

"Have you ever tried the flavored body paint?" She asked him. He made a face.

"Not that great; too runny." I raised an eyebrow at him. "I'll explain later." I huffed.

"Did you forget about why you're here?" I scolded, looking at Alli. They turned to her. She was looking down at the ground, crying silently.

"Right." Adam and Kris quickly left, talking about the different flavors of body paint available at Spencers as they went. I forced the thoughts of Adam and body paint out of my mind, but made a mental note to discuss it with him later, and turned to Allison.

"Listen to me. I know how you're feeling right now; you think your world is ending, or you at least wish it would. You're scared, you don't know how to fix the pain. I've been heart broken before. I know how you feel Alli. But you can't let it stop your life. You can't let the pain scare you into not being happy. I did for way too long. Look what I would be missing out on now if I let all the shitty stuff that's happened to me hold me back." Nicole looked at me for a second, studying me.

"Are you ever gonna tell us what happened with Jason?" She asked slowly, cautiously. I shook my head.

"Come on. We're your best friends." I shook my head again.

"Why not?" Abby pressed.

"I don't like to think about it." I stood up and looked the other way.

"You told Adam." Alli qietly pointed out.

"Yea, so tell us."

"It's not your business." I said thru clenched teeth.

"Oh, but it's Adam's business?" I ground my teeth together.

"It might make me feel better." Alli said, not taking her eyes off of her feet. They all started yelling from different directions. I felt my eyes well up with tears of frustration, annoyance, anger and sadness.

"Shut up!" I yelled at them, a tear spilling over.

"It couldn't have been that bad if you've been able to keep it a secret." Abby concluded. A few more tears escaped.

"You really wanna know? Will it make you happy if I tell you?" I growled. They all nodded. "Fine. He cheated on me, beat me, raped me, made me feel like a worthless piece of shit." They all stood there, their mouths hangging open. "But you're right, I kept it a secret so it couldn't have been that bad. You wanna know why I told Adam? He's the only person I've been able to just be myself with since. I trust him, I love him, he's the only person I can open up to and feel comfortable and safe with. Now you know, you can go celebrate." I flung the door open and stormed out, running straight into Adam's arms. He wrapped his arms tight around me as I sobbed into his shirt.

"Shh. It's okay Baby. Shh. What happened, Sweetheart?" He rubbed soothing circles on my back and kissed my head. I sniffed.

"Nothing, they just made me tell them what happened with Jason. I'll be fine." I pulled away a little and looked up at him. He took my face in his hands and wiped the tears away with his thumbs.

"Speaking of Jason..." He said slowly. I looked at him, confused. "Your mom called., Jason was arrested." I froze. After a few seconds Adam started to look worried so I spoke up.

"He, uh, um, I need to sit down." He nodded and walked me to the living room. I sat down on the couch. He sat next to me and I laid my head on his lap. I stared at the ceiling. My mind was spinning. I couldn't figure out how I felt; I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, but wasn't sure if either would be appropreate.

"Are you okay, Ana?"

"What'd he get arrested for?"

"I'm not sure. Your mom said something about asault and she wants you to call her." I shook my head.

"She's gonna want to know what he did to me."

"I think it's time to tell her." I sniffed.

"I don't want it to ruin everything I have now." I whispered.

"It won't Ana. I promise. It'll make it better."

"How could it possibly make it better?"

"You'll feel better if you know he can't hurt you or anyone else again." I sat there for a minute. Could I really put my first love in jail? Yea, he had hurt me and probably a lot of other girls, but he was such a huge part of my past. I knew I had to do it though. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if he hurt another girl like me and I did nothing to stop him.

"This is gonna be really hard." He looked at me for a second.

"I know , Babe. I'm here for you though."

"I know." I pulled his face to mine and kissed him. It was a short, sweet kiss but it gave me a very strange kind of high. I kissed his neck, trying to distract him so that he might forget about me calling my mom. After a few seconds he pulled away.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but stop kissing me and go call your mom."

"Nah, I think I'm okay here." I leaned into kiss him. He put one large, freckled hand over my mouth and glared at me. I glared back.

"I don't know what I'm interupting," Lil said, breaking our staring contest. "And I don't want to know. Audri, your dad is on the phone." I groaned. My mom was bad enough, but my dad had anger issues and was not easy to talk to. Lil held the phone out. I just stared at it. Adam took it.

"Thanks Lil." She nodded and walked out.

"Press the end button." I told him, only half joking.

"Audriana, you can do this."

"No, I can't." He gently set the phone down and looked me in the eyes.

"Yes, you can."

"And what makes you think that?"

"You're strong." I rolled my eyes. "And I love you." I sighed and picked up the phone.

"He-hello?" I mummbled.

"What did he do to you?" My dad growled.

"Dad,"

"Tell me right now Audriana Marie Flowers." I gripped Adams hand and took a deep breath. "Now." He yelled.

"Give me a second dad. This isn't easy." I heard him taking deep breaths. There was a click.

"Audriana," My mom said in a shakey voice. "You don't mind your father. Take all the time you need. We just want to know what happened." I could hear both my mom and dad breathing heavily into the reciver. I looked up at Adam, searching for support. He nodded his head a little and rubbed his hand in circles on my back.

"Will you tell me why Jason got arrested first?"

"Assualt charges is all we heard of."

"Tell me now, Audriana. Did he hurt you?"

"Well, Daddy has to promise he won't do anything stupid first." I heard them whisper yelling at each other.

"I promise. I just want to know, Audriana." I took a long breath and gripped Adam's hand tighter. I felt him squeezing back and somehow it made me feel a little better about the whole thing.

"Well, um, do you remember when I fell off my skate board and got all banged up?" All I heard was my dad's heavy breathing. "That's not what happened. Jason, um, Jason hit me. Well, he hit me a few times actually." There was just silence, like in a horror movie, right before someone gets killed and it's dead silence to build the suspence. I got a chill and shivered a little. Adam pulled me in tight to his side. When no one else said anything, I guessed they were waiting for me. "And, well, uh," a tear slid down my cheek but Adam quickly wiped it away. "he, he cheated on me. But, he, also, um, raped me." I finally spit out. More silence. "Mom? Dad? Someone speak please." I begged in a shakey voice.

"I'm going to kill that little son of a bitch!" My dad yelled. I heard a loud crack.

"Don!" my mom yelled. "We need to be here for her right now. It's not going to help her if you go off and get yourself into trouble, now is it?" I heard a loud bang. "Sweetie, I need to go talk to your father before he does something we all regret. I know you need me more right now but,"

"It's okay mom. I have people here that can take care of me. I love you. Tell Daddy I love him too."

"I will if I can stop him. I love you, honey. I'll call you back in a couple hours." I could hear the tears in her voice. I hung up and let out a heavy breath.

"Well, my dad is gonna kill Jason."

"Good." I glared at him. "Baby, he's just shocked and upset. I want to kill him everytime I think about it. But I haven't, and he won't either. You just need to let him calm down."

"Okay." I nodded, trying to convince myself that it would be okay.

"Baby, I love you. And you have no idea how proud of you I am. But I think you're stonger than you realize; you're breaking my hand."

"Oh!" I let go and pulled my hand away. "Sorry." He took my hand back.

"I didn't want you to let go. Just...kiss it and make it better." He smiled. I rolled my eyes.

"Here." I brought his hand to my lips and kissed it gently. "Better?"

"No, now it's infected." He grinned and leaned in for a kiss.

"No, don't kiss me. Your lips might get infected." I teased.

"Fine, if you don't want to kiss me, you don't have to." He pouted. I rolled my eyes and pulled his face to mine.

"You're lucky I love you."

"I know." We kissed for a second. "I don't mean to be a kill joy," He told me between kisses. "But Lil just saw us kissing before." I sighed.

"Great, more shit to worry about." He frowned.

"Want me to distract you from your problems?"

"And how do you plan on doing that?" He smirked and leaned into me, nibbling at my ear. I moaned a little. He pulled me into his lap and nipped at my ear again. "That could work." I gasped. I felt him grin against my neck. He ran his tongue over my sensative spot. "Don't give me a hicky; it'll make people suspicious."

"They already are suspicious." He mumbled against my neck. His hot breath sent a rush of heat thru my veins.

"Yea, we are." Kris said, sitting down next to us. Adam glanced up but other than that didn't let Kris' precence interupt him from the task at hand.

"A-Adam," I studdered between heavy breaths. "Maybe,"

"Maybe you should stop before I barf." Kris suggested, turning on the TV. I nodded a little, not that I wanted him to stop. It was just rude to continue if Kris was uncomfortable. "Plus, are you guys even trying to hide it anymore? I mean, Danny or anyone could just walk in whenever and see you guys." Adam sighed and pulled away.

"Fine." He pouted. I bit my lip and took Adam's hand, pulling him off the couch.

"Where are you two going?" Kris asked.

"Hell if I know." Adam said. "Where are we going, Babe?" He asked as I pulled him down the hall.

"Does it matter?"

"Not really. But how am I supposed to know you're not about to tie me up and torture me."

"You'd like that too much." I pushed him into his room and locked the door. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Ana, what are we doing in here?"

"I don't know. Getting some alone time? And Kris is right, we have to be more careful about our PDA."

"I like PDA." I rolled my eyes at him and pushed him back on the bed. I was surprised at myself for being so aggresive and taking the lead, but there was so much adrenalin rushing through me. I sat on his thighs and kissed him deep and slow. He put his hands on the small of my back and pulled me closer to him. He tugged on one of my lip rings with his teeth. Before I knew what I was doing, I started to unbutton his jeans. He grabbed my hands and rolled over on top of me, pinning my arms above my head.

"I don't think so." He said. He kissed my neck, keeping my hands above my head.

"What?" I asked, confused and breathless.

"I'm not about to let you do something you're going to regret tomorrow."

"I won't regret it." I promised. He kissed my collar bone.

"Yes, you will. You're acting on impulse because you're upset about Jason."

"When did you become my therapist?"

"Now." I pulled away and glared at him. I was feeling really rejected. I just wanted to be with him, and he didn't want to be with me the same way. I was extremely hurt and you could probably see it all over my face. "Audriana, you know I love you so much." I looked away. He moved his head so that he was looking me in the eyes. I looked away again. He sighed and reajusted his hands so that he was keeping both my wrist captive in one hand. He used the other hand to turn my face and force me to look at him. "And you are more than gorgeous; I don't think there is any guy that wouldn't love to be in my position right now. And trust me, it's not something I want to be stopping. It's something I would enjoy...a lot. Trust me. But you mean too much to me to let you do this when you're not ready." I kept glaring at him. "Just think about it for a second. If you're really doing it for the right reasons, I'll be more than happy to do whatever you want." I thought as I stared at his big blue eyes. I was ready. And Adam was definitely who I wanted it to happen with. It just wasn't the right time. I was rushing it a little because of all the emotions I was feeling with Jason. I didn't want to look back and know that the first time with Adam had anything to do with Jason. I just had to wait for the perfect time.

"Fine. We'll wait."

"Don't you love it when I'm right?" I rolled my eyes and kissed him.

"I love it." I wiggled my wrist around, trying to get him to let go. "You can set me free now. I promise I won't molest you." He laughed a little.

"That's a horrible promise."

"Didn't we just decide we're not going to do something I might regret?"

"Just because we're not going to have sex doesn't mean we have to stop having fun."

"Speaking of fun, want to tell me why you know so much about flavored body paint?" She smirked a little.

"I'm not sure you want to know." I looked him over, imagining him covered in a rainbow of yummy colors that I could lick off of him.

"Oh yes. I think I do."

"It involves Cheeks." I pouted.

"Why do all your stories involve Cheeks?" He bit at my lip ring again.

"You know, I really like these things; I could have a lot of fun with them." He ran his tongue over them.

"Don't avoid my question." He sighed and laid down beside me, pulling me into him.

"He was my first love, Ana. We did everything together." I already knew that Brad was his first love, but it always annoyed me to hear him say it. It was stupid and selfish for me to wish he had never loved anyone else when I had too. Maybe I just hated that my first love ended up being my biggest mistake.

"Why did you guys break up?" He shrugged a little.

"He broke up with me for someone else." That bothered me for three reasons; 1. Who in their right mind would leave Adam at all, let alone for someone else? 2. If Brad had left him for someone else, why did he want him now? 3. That meant that Adam had never actually wanted it to be over. He must have caught on to what I was thinking.

"I didn't want it to end then. In fact, I was completely heart broken. I didn't think I would ever be able to move on." I glared at him. "But now I couldn't be happier that he ended it. What I felt for him was absolutly nothing compared to how I feel for you. And that feeling just keeps getting stronger. When he dumped me, he told me everything happens for a reason. Now I understand that he was right. Everything that happened in all my past relationships happened so that I could be with you." I huffed.

"How do you come up with this cheesey crap?" He smiled.

"It just comes natural." I kissed him gently and laid my head on his chest.

"I love you." He kissed the top of my head.

"I love you more."

"Not even possible." I yawned.

"Wanna sleep in here? I mean, Kris has his own room now. And I'm sure Alli would love some alone time."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? We're supposed to be hiding this." He laughed a little.

"Everyone already knows. Anyone who hasn't figured it out by now has to be retarded." He had a point.

"They're going to think we had sex."

"They all think we've been having sex since before the first show. Besides, let them think what they want. They're going to anyway."

"There's only one problem."

"And what is that?" He wanted to know. I leaned up and kissed him.

"I'm not so sure we're going to get any sleep."

"Fine by me." I giggled as he pulled me into him.

The next morning I woke up and felt Adam's arms tight around my waist. I could feel his warm breath and lips against my neck. I yawned and turned over to face him. I glanced at the clock; I had to get up in fifteen minutes. I looked down at him sleeping peacfuly. With all his makeup worn off I could see all his freckles. I smiled and gently ran my hands over them. The breath was knocked out of me as I realized, again, how beautiful he was. I kissed his lips softly and his eyes slowly fluttered open. He yawned and smiled at me. He tightened his arms around my waist and kissed me.

"Morning." I said quietly. He snuggled up to me.

"Great way to wake up." He mummbled. I laughed a little and nodded in agreement. He nuzzled my neck. After a few moments I pulled away.

"I hate to ruin this moment, but I have to get ready for the day." He pulled me in closer to his chest.

"You look perfect. You don't need to do anything. Just lay here with me a little longer."

"And are you really going to go out without your pound of makeup? People will see your freckles." He was quiet for a second.

"You know, we should start getting ready." I laughed.

"I wish you wouldn't be so insecure. I love your freckles." I kissed his cheek. He looked at me for a second.

"Okay, let's make a deal. If we can lay here for another 30 minutes, I'll go all day without make up. But you have to, too." I looked up at him and smiled.

"I get to see your freckles all day?" I asked happily. He laughed and pulled me on top of him, kissing me.

I enjoyed staring at natural Adam all day before the show. I knew that two people were going home, and that one of them would be me so I snuck in as much time with Adam as I could, knowing that we might be apart for a few weeks.

"You're not going home." Adam told me as I pushed him against the wall of an empty rehersal room.

"Do you want me to stop making out with you?" He shrugged and nodded.

"You have a point." He pressed his lips to mine.

"Everyone get in their places!" He pulled me into a hug.

"I love you." I told him, a tear coming to my eye.

"You are not going home. But I love you, too." We went out and sat down on the couch. Alli and Adam both squeezed my hands as the lights came on and Ryan got the show started. The first person in the bottom three was Lil, and then Anoop. Allisons face dropped as Anoop walked to the other side of the stage.

"Danny, Audriana. Please stand up. One of you is safe. One of you is in the bottom three tonight. We'll find out who, after the break." We cut to commercial and I glared at Ryan. Adam looked up at me.

"Calm down, will you? He has to cut to commercial. And you are not going home." I glared down at him. "Sorry." He put his hands up in surrender.

"We're back in 5, 4, 3, 2,"

"Welcome back to you American Idol. This is your results show. Right now Anoop and Lil are in the bottom three. Who will be joining them? Danny, Audriana." He opened the card and I glanced down at Adam. He looked up and gave me a reassuring smile. "Audriana...would you please go join Lil and Anoop." I smiled slightly and nodded, not surprised at all. I hugged Allison, Kris, Danny and then Adam.

"You'll be fine. I love you, Baby." He whispered. I quickly whispered an I love you back and went to my spot.

"Okay, Lil, Anoop, Audriana. Two of you will be going home. The first Idol leaving us tonight is...Lil." My mouth dropped and I turned to hug her.

"This sucks." I told her.

"I know, I'll see you later okay. Love you, Girl."

"Love you, too Lil." She hugged everyone else and ran backstage. After a performance and another break it was finally time for the last results of the night.

"Audriana, Anoop. One of you is going home, one of you will continue on Idol." He looked at us both dramaticly. I glanced over at Adam. "Audriana," I took a deep breath. "Go sit down, you are safe." I gasped and my hands flew to my mouth. I hugged Anoop. I saw Alli about to cry.

"Talk to Allison before you go." He pulled away and nodded. Everyone else ran over. Danny pulled me into an embrace. I quickly broke the embrace and went into Adam's waiting arms.

"I told you that you'd be safe."

"I'm not gonna live this down all night, am I?"

"Well, maybe you'll have to do me a few favors." He whispered seductivly into my ear. I giggled. Kris tapped my shoulder and I turned to him.

"Damn, you guys are bad at hiding this." He laughed in my ear.

"Shut up." I said, pulling away. Everyone hugged and said good bye to Lil and Anoop. Anoop and Allison stood holding each other for about ten minutes before Alli forced her self to stop crying long enough to let go. He told her that he would talk to her after he got all his stuff packed. I got into Adam's car and we drove to the mansion. We sat in the living room.

"Allison is heart broken." He said sadly.

"Are you going to be that sad when I leave?" He rolled his eyes.

"Ana, you have as much of a shot at winning this whole thing as I do." I scoffed.

"Yea, right." He sighed.

"Speaking of me being right..."

"No one said anything about you being right."

"I'm always right. And if you ever want to hear the end of that, you're going to have to do me some favors."

"Like what?" He thought for a second.

"Let's start with a back massage." He said in a sexy voice. I laughed.

"Not gonna happen." He pouted.

"Pwease!" He whined. I threw my hands up in the air.

"Fine." He laid down on the couch and I sat on his butt and started to rub his back.

"You're good at this." I leaned down and kissed his neck as I rubbed his back. He let out a low moan. I jumped when my cell phone rang. I groaned and pulled it out of my pocket.

"Hello." I put the phone between my shoulder and ear and continued to rub Adams back.

"Hey, honey." I wondered why my mom would be calling when I had just seen her after the show. Her my dad, Nicole, and Abby had looked at me with pity, and I hated it. I knew telling them what happened would make things weird. I didn't need them to feel sorry for me.

"What's up, Mom?" She sighed.

"Well honey, I have some not so great news; you're going to have to testify against Jason in his trial." I gasped and climbed off of Adam.

"Are you okay, Babe?" I nodded. The look on my face must not have convinced him because he pulled me into his chest, comforting me.

"Did you report it to the police?"

"Your father did. But I think this will be for the best." I hung up the phone, not bothering to say good bye, and pulled away from Adam.

"What's wrong?"

"I have to testify against Jason because my dad told the police what happened." I put my face in my hands and held back tears.

"Audriana, I think you and I need to have a serious talk."

"I don't want to." He pulled my hands away from my face and looked me in the eyes.

"I don't care. Don't argue; just listen to me." I gave in and nodded, not really planning on paying attention to him. "I understand how hard this is going to be for you. And you have every right to be upset and pissed and scared. But I know you're still blaming yourself for it. But listen to me, it is not your fault." I looked down.

"Yes it is." I whispered. "If I would have told someone the first time he hit me. Or, or fought harder. Or..." I let a few tears roll down my cheek.

"Audriana, no." He took me in his arms. "No, it's not your fault. It doesn't matter what you did or didn't do, Jason made the choice to do the things he did. He needs to pay for it."

"What if I deserved it." He held me tighter.

"No." He said fiercly. "You are the most amazing person I have ever known. No one deserves it. Exspecially not you." I just looked down at the ground. "Look at me." I slowly looked up at him. "Now listen; you deserve the best. Now, I can't give that to you, but I'm going to try my hardest to make sure no one ever hurts you like that again. And I'll remind you everyday if I have to that you did not deserve it. Got it?" I nodded.

"I didn't deserve it." He kissed my nose.

"Good. Now, let's go to bed." We got up and walked to his room.

"Am I sleeping in here again?" He shrugged.

"You don't have to if you don't want to."

"I do want to. I'm just going to go change. I'll be back." He nodded and I walked across the hall. I opened the door and paused. Alli and Anoop were sitting on Allisons bed, making out. I gasped and they quickly pulled away. They looked like two dears caught in the headlights. I put my hand over my mouth to keep myself from laughing.

"Aren't you supposed to be gone?" She yelled at him. He nodded.

"Mhm, you're right. I'll see you in a few weeks." He looked at her for a second and she smiled back, then gave him an angry look.

"Get out of here!" He turned.

"Bye, Audri." He hugged me and ran out. I leaned against the wall and started laughing histaricly.

"You should have seen your faces."

"Shut up! Don't you have to go make out with Adam?"

"Actually, I do." I grabbed some pajamas.

"Not sleeping in here anymore, are you?" I shrugged.

"Not tonight at least."

"Well, don't think that excuses you from my wake up calls." I rolled my eyes.

"I would never dream of it." I changed and went back to Adam's room. He was already sprawed out across the bed asleep. "Aww." I turned off the lights and climed into bed. I pulled the covers over him and crawled under. I kissed his head softly and quickly fell asleep.


You know how I love your thoughts(:

And also, buy Adam's CD on the 23rd!! It's streaming on myspace and all the songs are GREAT. Help him get to number one, he deserves it.
