Hey guys,

Sorry for the late update. I was away all last week and kinda didn't know what to write...my bad. Thank you to all of the reviewers. We are at 60! That is the most I've had on a story before. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Last night was absolutely amazing for both Scotty and I. We had both sung wonderfully and I was almost positive that neither of us would go home.

"You nervous?" I asked Scotty, looking up at him, because my head was on his chest. We were chilling in the Coco-Cola lounge and talking about last night and about the elimination tonight.

He shook his head before replying "Not really. You shouldn't be either, we both did really well." Last night's theme was 'Songs from Now and Then'. I nodded my head and then laid it back onto his chest.

"How much time do we have left until the show?" I questioned as he grabbed my hand and interlocked our fingers.

"Like an hour until we have to get ready, then we have another half an hour until the show starts."

"I don't wanna leave here." I said sadly, looking away from Scotty with tears threatening to fall out of my eyes. I would be pretty upset if I had to leave Scotty, I wouldn't see him very much. He would become a big star and I would be a nobody. "If I leave, will you promise me not to forget me?"

Scotty tapped my chin so that I was looking up at him "You're not going to leave," He replied softly and kissing me on the cheek "And I will never, ever forget you."

"Awwww," Haley exclaimed, walking into the room as Scotty and I were millimeters away from kissing "You two are freaking adorable! Can I take a picture and send it to Pia?" She held up her phone and Scotty and I jumped apart

"Haley!" I exclaimed. You see, we had to keep it really quiet that Scotty and I were dating. Not a lot of people could know and a picture could ruin it. Only Haley, Jacob, James, Thia, Pia, Casey, Stefano, Paul, my family, and Scotty's family knew we were dating and we wanted to keep it that way.

"Fine," She surrendered, putting her phone back into her shorts pocket. "Where are you mamas? Shouldn't they be keeping eyes on the lovebirds?"

I laughed aloud. Mine and Scotty's moms loved us together. They knew we would be an amazing couple from the beginning and they were counting down the days until Scotty would become my mom's son-in-law and I would become his mother's daughter-in-law.

"I honestly don't think they care." I replied to Haley and she had an understanding look on her face

"Sorry, blonde moment. I totally forgot that your parents love you too together."

"It's cool." Scotty told her with a shrug of the shoulders. We had sat back down on the couch together and he was absentmindedly playing with my hair.

I leaned back into him and he kissed the top of my head. "Well, I hate to interrupt you two but Lauren, we have to go get ready." Haley said, tapping her wrist as if a watch was there. I rolled my eyes but reluctantly got up after kissing Scotty on the cheek.

"See ya later." I said with a wave as Haley pulled me out of the Coca-Cola lounge and into the dressing room that we decided to share for the final weeks of Idol.

"You two are so adorable together!" She gushed to me as we started to put together our outfits for later that night. I blushed slightly from her comment and looked over to her.

"I really like him," I replied sincerely. It was true, I really did like him. He was sweet and funny and smart and a total gentleman.

Oh yeah, and he could sing.

"Well, he like loves you." Haley teased and I gave her a small shove.

"Shut up." I replied with my head ducked so she couldn't see my blush, I blushed whenever someone said something about Scotty. It was a habit that I really didn't like.

"Jacob says so." She replied smugly as we made our way into the two bathrooms of the dressing room to change. I had to say, I think that I looked pretty good that night. I was wearing a puffed out silver-ish colored dress that stopped at my knees and a simple golden necklace. After we changed, the make-up and hair artists came and they just added to the beauty of the dress. My hair was curled and Haley and I looked the best we ever did this week.

"Scotty's pretty lucky," Haley teased with a smile on her face. I hit her on the arm and blushed, again.

"Yeah, well Casey's gonna be in love." I teased back, laughing as Haley blushed this time. He had texted her a minute ago, wishing her luck.

"Are you nervous?" I asked her liked I had asked Scotty about an hour ago.

"A little, but, I think that it is okay to be nervous."

I nodded my head in reply as we made our way to the stage. We met up with the boys on the way there and I immediately found myself in Scotty's arms. "Our mama's wanna see us real quick," He said and the two of us walked over to the lounge where our mama's were sitting and talking.

"You look beautiful, Lauren!" My mom exclaimed and I gave her a hug, I gave Judy (Scotty's mom) one too and then Scotty and I stood by each other as they wished us luck.

"You're lucky you got such a beauty, Scotty." His mom teased and I blushed

"You too, Laur." My mama added and the two of us blushed and then said goodbye because we were needed at the stage.

"Good luck!" They both called out as they walked the opposite direction of us to the seats.

"Why are they so embarrassing?" I asked Scotty and he laughed before giving me one more hug.

"It's their job."

"And the person leaving us tonight is…" Ryan paused, looking around the theater. I was standing next to Jacob in the middle of the stage. Him and I had been the Bottom Two and one of us was going home. Please, please don't be me… I prayed silently as tears were brimming my eyes. "Jacob Lusk." I looked over at the mad standing next to me. I gave him a huge hug and then made a beeline for Scotty. I threw myself into his arms and he instantly started to comfort me.

I was in shock. I was inches away from being sent home and I really couldn't deal with that. "Scotty…I'm…sorry." I said between sobs and I cried into his shoulder.

"For what babe?" He asked while Jacob sang his song and Haley patted my back reassuringly.

"For almost being sent home,"

"That's not your fault Lauren." He replied back and soon after the show was done and we walked backstage. He gave me a quick and soft peck on the lips and then we walked over towards Jacob.

Scotty hugged him first and the James hugged him. Jacob gave them both reassuring words and then turned towards Haley.

"I love you Hales." He said to her as the two hugged "You and I are diva buddies. I plan on it being the same on tour."

"No duh," She replied, sniffling a bit. He eyes were red and her face was streaked with tears, I'll bet we looked a lot alike.

Jacob then came over to me. "I love you too Lauren. Win this for me," He whispered into my ear and I kissed him on the cheek.

"I love you too, Jacob." I replied back and then he left to see the judges. Scotty came over to me and I quietly cried into his shoulder, upset that our Idol Family was now down to four.

That's all guys. Please review. Luv ya. :)
