Author's note: HEYA! Sorry, i thought i was gonna get this chapter saturday, but i ended up spending time with my friend, so i continued it little by little, and finally finished this morning when we woke up. (: I'm gonna start working on the next chapter right now(: So R & R!

I stood up from the lounge chair, and lifted up my sunglasses. "So two days, how does my tan look?" Erika asked me. I smiled.

"Very nice Eri Nellie. Totally California" I replied, and slipped on my flip flops. She playfully glared at me, and I flashed her a smile.

"Going back to the room?" Charlie asked, removing her sunglasses, and sitting up. I nodded, and moved from the chair to get my bag, but as I was bending down, someone ran into me, and I went flying.

Straight into the Palm Woods Pool.

I quickly pushed off from the bottom of the pool, and soon surfaced, sputtering out water and treading water. I moved my wet bangs away from eyes and glared up at the boy who had pushed me in. it turned out to be the blonde cutie from earlier. He held out his hand, and I huffed, but gratefully took it. He pulled me out, and I stood dripping wet in front of him and my friends. Max handed me a towel, slightly glaring at the blonde, while the other three were trying to hide their laughter.

"I'm so sorry!" he apologized to me. I rolled my eyes, and nodded.

"Let's go you three" Maxine told Erika, Charloette and Arya. I gave her a look as her attitude changed drastically. We walked up to the room, with me having a trail of water after me.

"I'm gonna change" I told my sisters, as I walked to mine and Maxine's room. I grabbed soccer shorts, and a tank top. I went, dried off and changed. When I came out into the bedroom, I saw Max sitting on her bed, with her guitar in her lap, and she was slightly strumming. I cocked my head to the side, and went and sat next to her.

"So….." I trailed off. She looked at me, and continued to strum away. "Max, whats up with you? If looks could kill, the cutie would be ten feet under" I blurted out. She looked up, and gave me a confused look.

"Isn't it six feet under?" Max asked, the corners of her mouth turning up.

I rolled my eyes. "Not the point Maxxie"

She sighed and gently set the guitar down, and looked at me.

"Ava….you know I told you the divorce was finalized and everything was great?" she asked. I nodded, trying to figure out what was going on in her head. "Everything isn't fine Ava. At first it was horrible because I couldn't figure out why he would do that to my mom. But then after everything had settled down, and my dad told me that I would be able to further my music career if I lived with him, but I couldn't just abandon my mom. He was the one who had an…an…an affair!" she cried, and I saw the tears spill over in her eyes.

"Oh Maxxie" I voiced.

"And now my mom is working two full jobs just to support me and her. I'm in L.A. with dreams as large as this city, and there isn't a single chance I get to live any of those dreams" she concluded. I looked at her, and my heart immediately went out to her. She was my first friend in New York.

"So when it comes to guys, I'm guarded because I don't trust them anymore" she told me. I then hugged her tightly.

"Oh Max. Why didn't you tell any of us? You know we would've hopped on the first plane to Louisiana, or begged our parents to get you to come visit us." I told her. She wrapped her arms around me in a hug, and I felt her shrug.

I ended the hug, and picked up her guitar for her. "This is beautiful Maxxie. Where did you get it?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"My mom got it for me after the divorce with some of the money she got" she explained as she tokk it from me.

"What were you playing earlier?" I asked. She shook her head.

"Just something I wrote" she mumbled. A smile formed on my lips.

"I'll be back" I said, then ran out of the room. "Girls!"

They all looked at me, and waited. "Do you all know why we're actually here?" I asked quietly. They all shared a look.

"We're gonna help with Maxxie's dream? Right?" Arya asked. I smiled and nodded.

"I'm kinda surprised our parents let us do it, but if it's for Max, there's no doubt we're gonna do everything in our power to make sure it happens" Charloette said. Erika nodded in agreement. I smiled at my best friends.

"So are we gonna tell her?" Erika asked. I nodded, and we walked into her room.

"Maxxie! Put down the guitar" Arya cried. She looked at us, but did as Arya told us. I smirked.

"So, you know how you said you couldn't live any of your dreams because of money?" I asked. She slightly nodded.

"You know we didn't pick L.A. just for the sun and surf" Erika told her. She looked confused. I rolled my eyes.

"We're here because of you Maxine! All of our parents agreed to it over the phone, and soon we were talking about it, and we decided 'what the hell?'. So here we are lovely. We've all helped each other at one point, and now its your turn" i explained.

"What?" Max asked, still confused.

"Your dream? Of being famous, along with Arya's dream. It's gonna happen Maxine. The whole point of us being in L.A. for 'vacation' is to help you" Charloette said. Maxine looked at us, then shrieked out of happiness. She launched herself at us, and we had a group hug, smiling and laughing.

I pulled away and grabbed my camera, setting it up, and hitting the timer button and stood next to my best friends. "Say L.A.!" Arya cried. I smiled and wrapped my arms around Maxine, and Charloette, and we all smiled as the flash went off.

"So play us the tune Maxine" I said. We all sat together in our room, and listened to the tune. I then got an inspiration for a song, so I dived for my song book, and began writing. The other four shook their heads, and began talking.

"So this is it. We're actually gonna get a chance to do this" Max said. I smiled at her, and nodded.

"Yup. This is our summer" I smiled.
