Okay, either this is the last chapter or there'll be one more. Probably this is the last chapter. I've got writer's block out the arse and well quite frankly I'm thisclose to screaming and beating my head against a wall.
Chapter... eight
Audrey ran home after the fight and before she could run to her room Greenlee came wandering out of the diningroom.
"Oh Audrey you're home." Greenlee smiled.
"Yeah." Audrey nodded, holding back tears. Green'ee smiled melted away and she looked concerned.
"Honey what's wrong?" She asked, walking over and hugging her daughter.
"The boys were being stupid and now Liza's mad at me and I don't know what to do." Greenlee kissed the top of Audrey's head.
"Why is Liza mad?"
"Because... oh it's stupid." Audrey shook her head and pulled away from her mom to run off.
"Something came for you today." Greenlee said, She grabbed it out and handed it to her.
"Thanks mom." Audrey took it without looking at it and ran off. She looked at the package in her hand and opened it, inside was a dvd. Audrey put it in the DVD player and sat down to watch. It started out showing Audrey, Xander, Sean and Cameron together and waving at the camera. The words Right Here went across the screen. Then it faded into their day at the park and the music started in the background, Audrey's voice rang out of the speakers.

Oh yeah yeah
I'm right here" It had the swings
and running around and the Merry go round. In all it was a fantastic
video and Audrey sat there, tears flowing down her face. The door
opened and JR strolled in.
"Hey Audrey can I borrow your... what's wrong?" He stopped in the doorway.
"it's nothing." Audrey shook her head. "What did you want to borrow?" She stood up.
"Audrey, what's wrong?" JR walked in and sat on his younger sister's bed.
"It just... The boys got in a fight and Liza got mad and... It's all really confusing." Audrey crossed her arms.
"Why did the boys fight?" JR asked patiently. Audrey sighed and sat next to him on the bed.
"Because the three of them wanted to ask me to the dance at school and figured whoever came out of the fight with less bruising would ask me." Audrey rolled her eyes.
"Sounds stupid." JR said bluntly. Audrey looked at him, a little suprised he was just that... matter of fact.
"Yeah, it really is." She agreed.
"Why would they think you'd go with them if they fought?"
"I don't know." Audrey shrugged.
"'Why's Liza mad?"
"Because she had a crush on Sean."
"Still sounds stupid." JR shook his head.
"Exactly." Audrey nodded with a sigh.
"They'll get over it Auds. Just... move on with life, they'll see you're over it and bam, that'll be the end of it." JR got up and headed for the door.
"JR... how did our parents end up with a smart kid?" Audrey asked. JR turned around and smiled.
"Not sure."

The night of the dance Audrey got changed and her dad drove her to the dance.
"Have Auds." He smiled. Audrey kissed him on the cheek and got out, running into the gym. It had been decorated into an under water theme.
"So very original." Audrey rolled her eyes, but grinned, walking to the refreshment table.
"Drey!" Audrey turned to find Liza and Sean walking over, holding hands. Audrey smiled at them, taking a bite of a cookie.
"Hey." She said, around a mouthfull of Chocolate chips cookie. She swallowed it and looked at them. "So are you two..."
"Yes." Sean nodded. Audrey clapped, hugging Liza.
"You're such a nerd." Liza laughed. "Where are Xander and Cam?"
"Don't know." Audrey muttered, taking another bite to avoid saying anything else.
"Right there." Sean pointed. The girls turned to find Xander and Cameron walked over, looking sheepish.
"Hey guys." They said. Audrey crossed her arms and glared at them.
"Hey Dude." Sean nodded at them so show them he forgave them. They looked at Audrey, who turned away.
"Come on Audrey, you can't be that mad at us." Xander said.
"Oh you'd be surprised." Audrey snapped. Cameron looked down at his shoes for a moment.
"Look Audrey, we're really sorry." He looked back up at her. "We were wrong to fight, but..."
"But what Cameron?" Audrey asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"We're sorry." Cameron Repeated.
"I bet you are." Audrey nodded. She sighed and looked at them both. "Ever do anything that stupid again, and you'll get the swirley from heck." She threatened.The two boys looked at her with smiles.
"If your stick arms could hold us down." Xander teased. Audrey laughed and they headed out to the dance floor.
After about an hour Julie Favore, class president walked over and asked them if PRU wanted to preform.
"Well duh!" Had been Audrey's reply. They got instruments from the music and got on stage.
