We get up and get ready for the homework assignment. I put on a pink (I know- PINK.) T-shirt and my skinny jeans along with my zombie converse. (It's me- did you really think I would be 'normal'?) We walk into the choir room and wait on our guest. I sit with Lindsay and we get really excited. We hear a door open and all look at each other. They walk in and Alex basically gets up and we cheer- Dot Marie Jones. DOT MARIE FRICKEN JONES! We cheer and she smiles at us. "Hey kids." We all look like 'The Joker' from batman. "Nice to meet you." she says and we all nod, dumbfounded. "Guys?" Robert says, trying to snap us out of it. They both laugh and Dot nods. "Why don't you just do the performance?" She says while laughing. We walk over to the performance area and sing. We look at her and she seems upset.

We take our seats again and she looks at us. "That was amazing." We nod. "Thanks." We say and she gives out various comments. "I could really feel the emotion." She says to me and I smile. "Thank you." I say back and she looks at Damian. "Wow. You broke my heart a little." His eyes widen and he smiles. "That's why I have chosen you to be the winner of this weeks assignment." He jumps in his seat a little and smiles. "Thank you soo much." He says and she smiles. "This weeks music video is going to be- 'Mad Word' By Tears For Fears." We nod and so does she. "Damian, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow." He nods and she waves goodbye and Robert looks at us as she leaves. "This weeks Music Video will be filmed at the Universal citywalk." We nod and Samuel stares in shock. "That is like the shopping mall equivalent of the walk of fame! thousands go through there everyday!" Samuel says and I instantly feel sick. "Enjoy." Robert says and walks away.

I walk outside and slump down on the ground. The cold wind whistles and I bury my head in my legs. What happened to no more self pity? I shake my head and look at the ground. I see Skip and he waves as he walks by and into a Starbucks. I open the door and look at Samuel. "You want to go get some coffee?" I ask him and he nods. "Sure." He says with a smile. "Will you grab my hoodie? It's in my room." He nods and I wait outside. He walks out and passes me a brown hoodie. "This isn't mine." He nods. "It's mine." He says with a smile and I put it on. I wrap myself up in it and we walk down to Starbucks. "How you feeling today?" He asks and I shrug. "Horrible." He nods and pulls me closer to him with his arm wrapped around me. "That makes two of us." I hug him and he half smiles. We walk in and I see Skip. "Hey." I say and Samuel looks in the same direction as me to see who i'm talking to. "Skip!" Sam says and we walk over to him. "Irish. Dreads." We smile and sit down. I lie up on a sofa while Sam takes the seat next to Skip. "What's up kids?" We shrug. "It's just getting heavy in there." I say while Samuel orders coffee for us.

"That sucks." We nod and Our coffees come. "Hows it goin' ?" Sam asks and he nods. "Good- kind of hard being in a band with another person when the other person is on tv & you hardly get to seem them." I half smile and drink my coffee. I get a text and smile.

From:

Everything is all set up sweetie, just need to get you on our turf and show the Americanos what we are made of ;) Love You. Xo

Samuel looks over at me and smiles. "You seem happier." I nod and reply.

To Mum:

Having a heavy week, we had to talk about our pasts. Alot of tears, from everyone. Got out of the house for half an hour with Samuel to have coffee with his friend Skip. Love You too. Xo

"It's just mum." He nods and I sit with my feet up against my chest and play with my phone will they talk band-stuff. I look through a conversation I once had with Daniel; from when we were together. I delete it and hear a click. I look over at Samuel who has a camera pointed at me. I smile and Skip laughs.

I take out my ipod and take a picture of them both. They smile and I tweet it;

Just Like Brothers. SamuelLarsen & SkipArnold Talking Band Stuff.

I smile And a blue tweet appears on my timeline.

"Toto texting Kansas. With my hoodie."

I smile and see a tweet from Skip.

"You know someone cares about someone, if their smile makes them smile."

I look at the picture; Me smiling into the text message and Samuel smiling at me.

I smile and finish up my coffee. I sit up and they keep talking band stuff. "We need to practice." Samuel says while finishing his coffee and we get up. "Enjoy." Skip says and pulls Samuel into a hug. I put my phone in my pocket and Skip hygs me. "Later Irish." I nod and we walk out.

We look up at the fire escape and he sighs. "You ok?" I ask and he nods. "I don't like this feeling." I look at him. "Heart broken." He says and sniffles. I hug him and look up at the fire escape. "It's just a couple more days." I say and he nods. "Then i'll be gone." He says and I look at him. "You are not going anywhere! Do you hear me Samuel Larsen? You are not going anywhere." I say and he hugs me.
