Story of a Girl

by Aimie

Chapter 11: "American Eagle, Navy Blue Dresses and Mitch Mixer"

SAM'S POV--

Getting married is supposed to be the happiest time of your life. But sometimes...it's not. You've got so much stress on you and you can't think clearly because you want everything to go smoothly.

I am excited, don't get me wrong. I mean, you know, it's finally happening!

We arrived at the airport in Seattle the other day and were greeted by Carly, Spencer, his wife and 4 other children. We were also greeted by my parents and his mom. And..someone else...

THIS IS HOW IT WENT:

--

NORMAL POV--

"Freddie!" yelled Mrs. Benson running to him and giving him a huge hug.

"Hey...Mom" he said "You're..choking me" he began to cough and she let go of him.

"It's so good to see you again!"

"Mom, this is Sam" he pointed to Sam. "You remember her, right?"

Sofia frowned. "Is she the one that made you lose 5 pairs of underpants a week?"

Sam turned scarlet, her face was so red. Jolie laughed hysterically.

"You could say that..." he smiled. "And this is Jolie,"

Jolie waved and gave Sofia a hug. "She's...Mom...she's...my daughter"

Mrs.Benson's eyes widened. "YOUR WHAT?!"

Freddie winced, "My daughter"

"And when did this happen?" Sofia asked placing her hands on her hips in such a motherly way. Sam just laughed.

"16 years ago"

"YOU WERE 16?? Freddie, you should've known better" she shook a finger at him.

"Mom, I'm a grown man" Freddie said, embarressed.

"Yes, you are very mature, having children in your teen years" she replied sarcastically.

Jolie rolled her eyes.

"Are you sure this is your kid?"

"Hey!! Can't you see a resemblance?" Jolie hugged Freddie and smiled.

"Not really," she said. "She looks more like Sam, to me"

Jolie pulled some hair behind her ears. "We have the same ears" Freddie laughed.

Sofia sighed. "Yes, she is your daughter. Those are the Benson's ears. I have them too" she pulled some hair behind her ear as well. She gave Jolie a tight hug. "Welcome to the family"

"Thanks Grandma"

Those words made Sofia Benson's eyes glimmer with tears. "You don't know how long I've waited to hear that"

Jolie smiled. "You too Sam, welcome"

"Thank you Mrs.Benson" she hugged her as well.

"You can call me--"

"Mom? I don't think so, I'll just call you Mrs.Benson" Freddie laughed.

"Well, aren't you getting married? Wouldn't that be confusing?" she asked,

"True..."

"Call me Sofia"

"That works" Sam shrugged as she waited to greeted by the next batch of people running over.

"SAM!" Carly flung her arms around Sam's neck. "You're back! You too kid!" she ruffled up Jolie's hair.

"Gee, thanks Aunt Carly, great form to greet someone" Jolie said trying to fix her hair. Carly hugged her.

"Better?"

"Slightly" Jolie smiled.

"Sorry..."

"Say your sorry to my hair" Jolie smiled.

Carly's attention turned to Freddie and she plastered a huge grin on her face.

"Oh...my...gosh!" she hugged Freddie. "I can't beleive this!"

"Well, beleive it cuz it's happening" he smiled and hugged her back.

"You've been gone too long, Freddie, too long" Carly said.

"Yeah, Dork, way too long" Sam smiled. "But, I found him"

"No you didn't" Jolie piped up. "I did"

"Well, I was gonna..."

"No you weren't...you're such a liar"

Jolie and Sam stuck their tounges out at each other. Carly laughed. Heidi's plane didn't leave until the next day and Jolie felt sort of best friend less.

"Hello"
This made Jolie turn around. "Hey, Geekhead!"

Adam had his hair cut a different way, sort of mohawked. Kind of how Joe Jonas had it before he made it long. His clothes were different as well. When she had left him, he was wearing ugly clothes from Mall Mart and now he had on American Eagle. He had Vans on his feet and his hands in his pockets. She couldn't help but to think he actually looked...hot?

Adam hugged his friend so hard, he picked off of the floor and didn't put her down until she was screaming "Okay!You can put me down now!"

This little act caught everyones attention.

"Um..Jolie...who is this?" Freddie asked like a concered father.

"My idiot of a best friend" she replied.

"Hey! I'm not an idiot!"

"I know, he's just too smart" she rolled her eyes.

"Was that sarcasm?"

"Kind of"

"You're mean" he crossed his arms over his chest and pouted.

"And you're a geek, now we're even"

Freddie smiled and laughed.

"I'm Adam, remember?" he shook Freddie's hand.

"Yes, of course!"

"How does Mr.Benson work for you?"asked Adam,he smiled.

"Just fine"

Adam smiled shyly. Jolie looked over at him.

"Heyy!" Spencer said giving them all hugs.

"Hey Shortstuff" Jolie ruffled Ken's hair.

"I'm a big boy!"

"I'll bet" smiled Adam.

"JOJO!!" Kay came running and flung her little arms over Jolie's neck.

"Hey, Kay-ee-boo!" Jolie hugged back.

"Jojo, what are you going to do today?!" asked Kaede. "Do you want to go to a theme park?"

"Um..." she tapped her chin. "I may have to move some appointments around..." she kneeled down in front of her. "But what they heck, I accept!"

"Yes" Then Kay began her little dance and everyone laughed.

Jolie sighed. Her family was getting crazier and crazier everyday.

"Lie Lie!" screamed a voice. That could only mean one thing...Laila. Laila tried to hug Sam without commenting and went on to her granddaughter.

"Laila!" Jolie ran and hugged her grandmother.

"How you been, baby?"

"Good, Nani, you?"

"Eh, never better" Laila turned and hugged Sam while her grandfather came and hugged her.

"Papi, how's your back?" she asked.

"Strong...enough" they laughed and continued hugging. "So, what about you? How you been, pumpkin?"

"Pumpkin? That's a new one..." she laughed. "Good, you know"

"I do. I heard you found your dad. He's a great man" Max lowered his head.

"Yeah...but no one takes the place of my Papi in my heart" she smiled widely and hugged her grandfather.

"Thank you, Lie"

After a few more mushy moments the group separated. Each family returned to their respective house, each person began a new life.

Wedding Day

"OoOOH! I am sooo nervous!!" Sam glittered in a pretty white strapless dress.

"Don't move!" said Carly trying to do her hair.

"Soorrrry! I can't help it if I'm a tad bit nervous!"

"A tad?" Jolie questioned.

"A bit?" Heidi piped up.

"Oh, who asked you?!" Sam said putting her shoes on. All four girls laughed.

--

"I'm scared" said Freddie. "What if--?"

"Don't worry, Son," said Max who had taken a strange habit of calling him that. "When I married Laila, the chandelier broke and we all had to run outside to--"

"Max! You're scarying the poor boy!" screamed Laila.

He shrugged. "Well, it's true..."

And it wasn't making his feelings any better. "Thanks for the help!"

"Anytime, Sonny, anytime" he smiled.

"Please, Mr.Puckett, don't call me that"

"No problem" he smiled.

Freddie laughed.

Within hours they were married and at the reception. The place was filled with white balloons, a huge cake, and a DJ. It looked absolutley wonderfully weddingish.

Jolie walked up to the DJ guy. "Hey Mitch Mixer,"

"Jolie. You comming back to school?"

"Yup. Sucks doesn't it?"

"You need anything? You can always come to me...but..."

"It's gonna cost me? Yeah I know" Jolie looked around. Her dress was a navy color, it was strapless and went to her ankles. It was one of those times that you'd rarely see her in a dress. Adam had nearly fallen of his chair. Her brown hair was let down in loose beachy waves.

"Do you need anything?" he asked

"I want...play me a song" she smiled.

"And that would be?"

"Story of a Girl by 3 days grace" she said. The song started to play. "So how much?"

Mitch smiled. "Baby, for you, it's on the house" she smiled.

"Thanks Mitch, that's so unlike you" she smirked.

Mitch Mixer was a con-artist like Tom Sawyer and like Rip Off Rodney. But! He was cute. He had dark brown hair and deep green eyes.

"Like I said, babe, for you anything" he smirked. He spoke with a Gangster accent.

She sighed. Mitch spotted Heidi as she came over.

"And for her," he started, his eyes were wide. "Everything"

Jolie laughed. "What's going on Jolie?"

"Ah, nothing"

"Did you request the song?" asked Heidi. "Who's your friend?"

"Yes, I did and that's Mitch" she pointed to him.

"Hello, Mitch" she smiled and bit her bottom lip.

"Hello, beautiful" he smiled. She blushed. "A dance?"

"I'd love to" she took his hand.

"Hey, Jo?" he said.

"Yah?" Jolie popped a cherry lollipop in her mouth.

"Mind DJing?"

"Not really..." she smiled getting up to play the music.

"Don't break anything!" he yelled out.

"No promises" she said fingering his stuff.

He rolled his eyes and he started to dance with Heidi to the tune of Tokio Hotel's "Ready, Set, Go!".

"Hey" said Adam comming up.

"Yo, wassup Geekroid?" she switched the song to "Shake it" by Metro Station.

"Must you verbally assault me?!"

"Yup, or would you rather me attack you?" she asked.

"Well..."

"Are you considering it?" she asked him rolling her eyes.

"Maybe..." he smiled at her. For once she noticed that he had perfectly white teeth, all straight and perfect.

"You're a dork" she smiled.

"Ahh, but I'm you dork" he smiled again.

"What? No!" she said, his smile faded. "You're my best friend, and you're my friend who's the dork. Not MY dork because that would make me a dork which we both know...I'm not"

His smile returned. "You're a lost cause"

"I'm a lost cause?" she switched the songs again to "Graduation" by Vitamin C. "What about you? You're the one that IM'd my dad!"

He rolled his eyes. "Look, Jolie, I got something to tell--"

"Hey guys" Sam smiled. "How's it going?"

"Well, I'm doing this music stuff and Adam is just standing there dorkily, so..."

Sam laughed. Freddie walked over and draped his arm over Sam's shoulders.

"Are you still teasing the poor guy?" he asked.

"But, Dad, he's a geek. How can I not? It's almost too easy" she said.

He laughed. "Well, you know, he has feelings too..."

"Whatever, Dad." she rolled her eyes and changed the song again to "Tangled Up in Me" by Skye Sweetnam.

It was a CD made just for Sam and Freddie. To Jolie the songs were so old and boring. But some of them spoke to her. It was weird.

"He's right, Jo, I have feelings..." he was stopped mid sentence by the crashing of lips onto his. After that, he closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her waist. And it was all to the song "Love Song" by Sarah Bareialles (A/N: sp?). She put her hands around his neck and they continued to kiss and it was nice. As nice as a snazzy chocolate moose cake when it's your birthday.

When they broke apart they heard an extreme amount of applause. There wasn't anyone who wasn't clapping.

She blushed. He scratched the back of his head nervously.

"So..." he started.

"So..."

"Are we together now?"

She thought about it for a moment and then smiled. "I...I guess so"

A/N: I didn't have much of the wedding because i've never been to a wedding (weird right?) so idk what happens. All I know is that they exchange vows and kiss.But..that's it. Anyways, JOLIE and ADAM are together. I felt all fluffy. SNAZZY! All those songs like Shake it, Ready set Go,Love Song, Story of Girl and the others are like part of my collective of favorite songs. I 3 them! I'm wondering should the next chapter be the last? I have alot planned for Sam, Freddie and Jolie but if this story is better off than I...but I ...then the story would be extremely long. So again I ask you! Should it? I gotta say tho, this my fav. chapter!

I'd like to thank Colors for getting me obsessed with that song 4ever by the Veronicas. I hadn't heard it before but after reading that chapter of iSam, I was like I have to hear this. And it's a really good song, so kudos on picking the song! It's snazzy!

Aimie

Let's just hope this non snazzy laptop doesn't crash again...

And it did! I have to stop writing on it cuz, everytime I dissconnect it to take it somehwere it magically turns off. No worries, I'm getting a new one and hopefully that Dell won't crash. I offically have grown a hatered for Sony laptops. Not snazzy at all...
