It's time for another update. Once again I do not own the guys from BTR.

"I cannot believe you had me go barefoot," Kendall said when I stepped out of my car the next morning. "I also can't believe no one noticed for about two hours."

"What's even better is they're not going to refilm it," I laughed.

"You two need your heads checked," James said giving me a friendly hug. "But that was pretty good."

"Thank you James. I'm glad you liked it. But would you be ok if Kendall and I were to go out on Saturday. That was part of the bet," I asked leaning into his side.

"You don't need to ask me that, Ari. We're not together anymore," James said.

"I know but we just broke up so I wanted to see if it was ok. I don't want to upset you more than I already have," I said looking into his brown eyes. They looked sad yet very relieved.

"James it's not like I'm going to kiss her or anything we're just going out for burgers on Saturday," Kendall said.

"Just go. It's for the bet isn't it," James said patting Kendall on the back. "She's a man-eater." I heard him add but pretended to ignore it.

I followed the boys into the studio and to hair and makeup. There was no way I was gossiping today with everyone there with me. I didn't even have anything to talk about except the whole barefoot thing and Kendall was telling that one. Before I knew it my hair was done in loose curls and my light makeup was applied.

I then walked toward my dressing room to plop down on the couch until I was needed on set for the day. Staci was occupying the chair in the corner with the radio on.

"You look miserable. What's up?"

"Stace I miss being with James A LOT."

"Ari, you're better off being single for a while. I don't think you know what it's like to be alone. You always have a guy. Take a break from it all."

"I know but he looks so gloomy."

"Don't worry about it. He'll be fine just like you will. I'm quitting school!"

"I'll be fine I know that. Wait you quit school? WHY?"

"I want to start acting. I have a few auditions lined up for this week. School sucks Ari. It's boring and the people are stuck-up snobs. It's not like the schools I visited back in PA were people didn't find my accent funny or think they're better and prettier than me."

"Well duh they talk just like you talk. The just don't know who your best friend is. You know being single may be fun. I can still hang out with them right? The guys I mean."

"No you can't hang out with them."

"Stace!"

"What you asked me if you can hang out with them and I said no. It's not like it's going to stop you. You do work with them."

"It's Nana's birthday next week," I said going through the calendar on my phone

"You know what that means," Staci said.

"What does that mean," Carlos said peering in the door. "Arianna they need you on set."

"Our Nana is turning 75 and she always has her party at Hershey Park," Staci said a bit too excitedly.

Staci loved our nana's parties more than Nana herself. I think we all loved going to the park and then walking through the zoo at the end of the day. It was one of the few times the whole family got together. No one really knows why Nana has her parties at Hershey, but we do know she wants everyone to have fun.

"You guys should come with us. It's tons of fun and their always down a few guys for the racing roller coaster. The guys believe us girls are cheating since there are more of us," I said to Carlos.

"You mean the Hershey like the chocolate Hershey," he asked.

"UH huh. There's chocolate world the amusement park and a zoo. Nana's always had her parties there. She likes getting everyone together to have fun. You all should really come along. I'll give you the details at lunch," I replied walking into the mock studio.

I walked through filming doing what Arianna Walker does best, performing. Still wearing my sandals I was blowing everyone away today. Using my true life inspirations no one could do better when the camera was rolling. Maybe I was showing off, since I was single again. But if you were to ask me I would just say today is my day to rock.

"Dad would it be ok if the guys come to PA with us? Staci and I really want them to go. Please," I asked my dad on my walk back to the dressing room to get Staci.

"Nana always says the more the merrier so sure they can come along," my dad said when we stopped at the door.

"Thanks Dad."

I walked into the dressing room to still find Staci lounging on the chair. She was diligently typing something on her laptop, probably emailing her mom about next weekend. I walked up and slowly closed it.

"You ready for lunch. The guys are waiting and eager for news about next weekend," I said as she gave me puppy dog eyes.

"I was emailing Nana, you meany. I was telling her about Logan," Staci said getting up from the chair.

"She can meet him at her party now let's go. Please."

"They're coming with. Where are they going to sleep?"

"Um the house. Geez Stace even you know the PA mansion is the size of mine and my dad's. My mom loved making big houses for her family. There's deff enough rooms."

"I can't believe it's already Nana's birthday," Staci sighed walking out the door and down the hallway. I wasn't far behind.

"So you guys can come to PA with us next week for our Nana's birthday. You'll love her way more than hanging out in Hershey Park," Staci said sitting between Logan and Carlos.

"That's where they make the chocolate right," James asked. "And your Nana has her birthday there?"

"It's actually an amusement park and a zoo and also the company. Some days the whole park smells like chocolate. That's the best part," I said reminiscing on the smell of cocoa.

"We should really show them Centralia the nerdy part of home. Trust me its nerd heaven there sometimes with people taking pictures of the smoke rising from the ground. It's a ghost town but the two of us always needed to see it. Isn't that 'Silent Hill' movie based on it," Staci said.

"Puh-lease, Centralia got old when we turned 10. Stace, we want them to have fun not be bored to death," I said.

"It doesn't sound boring. It seems kinda cool actually. All of this is close to your home," Kendall said.

"No but my uncle lives up by the mines. He actually runs the family mine, on my mom's side of the family. Staci's mom and my dad are brother and sister."

"I was thinking the two of you were connected somehow. You can't fool me," Carlos said. "Are there elephants and stuff in this zoo?"

"UM uh, no. It's just animals in North America," Staci answered resting her head on Logan's shoulder. "I'm really tired today."

"Maybe you should take a nap when you finish eating," Logan said looking down at her.

I looked at the two of them. They had so much love for each other that I don't think anything could ever tear them apart. I was jealous of what they had. It wouldn't surprise me if they would get engaged in the future. They'd truly make adorable kids along with a happy married couple until they died. I looked a James then, who was busy talking to Carlos about the new script. Kendall on the other hand was watching me observe the others.

"You look sad," Kendal said. "What's bothering you?"

"Me, oh nothing really. Just thinking about some things," I replied.

"Do you want to go for a walk to just get your mind off it all? Sometimes I think you just talk way to much Arianna," Kendall said getting up and taking his hand in mine. "We're going for a walk."

"What if I didn't want to go for a walk," I said glaring at him.

"You were going anyway. You just don't seem like yourself today, like something is really bothering you."

"Nothing's bothering me. Everything is fine, really it is."

"Arianna Walker don't you lie to me." Kendall stopped walking and turned to face me. "I'm not fond of liars."

"Kendall I'm not lying to you. Ok well yes I am. But I'd rather not talk about it. I don't want to cry today. There's just way too much on my mind. My mom isn't going to be there on the doorstep welcoming me home. The house is going to be empty and have this cold feeling. She won't' be there on my wedding day helping me get ready. She won't be there to see her grandkids first Christmas or birthday."

"She will be there. You just won't see her there but she will be. I can't guarantee this but everything will be ok," he said giving me a hug. "You're doing fine without your mom right now and you'll do even better in the future."

"Thanks Kendall." I looked up and into his eyes and smiled.

Thank you so much for reading.
