Introduction

The whole rest of the summer I couldn't get over Nick and what he has done. Ugh! it made me soo sick. The plane ride I was just miserable. I cried the whole time and on that plane ride I wrote about 2 different songs and have been writing songs the whole summer. When I got home I talked to my mom about it and she made me feel better but it really didn't help me that much. I haven't seen Kelsey and Sydney the whole summer either except they texted me once! They must of stayed with Kevin, Joe and Nick to finish up the tour. Demi and Selena I have seen them the practically everyday. They helped me get through the tough time. I started reading the Twilight book and it was sooo good. I read the whole series. When I heard they were making a movie I was soo excited! I got a call one day over summer and the person who was suppose to be Bella Swan dropped out and now I am Bella Swam! AHHAHAHAHAH! I also got a record label with Hollywood Records. I have also done a few sold out shows in California, I haven't done my big headlining tour yet, but I’m really excited about it. I have also done interviews and photo shoots for different magazines. Ohh and did I mention that every magazine out there and everybody has a different solution to how me and Nick broke up?!?!

Chapter 1

It was my first day on the set and I was getting to know my co-stars. Robert Pattison was Edward and we got along really well, but when I got up to Taylor Lautner I didn't know what to say. He was just sooo hot. "I'm Amanda. I play Bella." I said and that was basically the only thing I could get out. "I'm Taylor. I play Jacob." He said then we hugged. Inside I was going crazy. He wouldn't let go until after a couple of minutes. I went through the whole cast and then we meet the director and all of the other people that make the film work. I got my script over the summer and it was really good. The director was tell us where everything was. The only thing was I had a tutor in my trailer because sense I am only 16 and I need my education. While the director was talking I got an idea of a song so I grabbed a pen out of my sweatshirt pocket and I wrote it on my hand. I put that hand in my sweatshirt pocket, so nobody would see it. After talking about the movie and everybody that works with the movie to make it a movie we went to our trailers. Mine was plain soo I decided to decorate it after I wrote my idea for my song on a piece of paper and left it on my dresser. I heard a knock at my door and I saw Selena and Demi. "Ohmigod!" I said while I gave them both a hug. "How's your day going so far?" Demi asked me. "Well, so far its going great. I met this really hot guy." I said. "Good for you." Selena said. "I know. He's right over there." I said and they turned around and quickly glanced at him. "Ohmigod! He is soooo Hot." Selena said. I nodded. "Come in. It's cold out here." I said inviting them in. They sat on my couch and we talked. Selena and Demi left because they were on there way to a charity walk or something like that. I heard a knock on my door again. "Come in." I said. "Umm... the director want to talk to you." Robert said. "Okay." I said and followed him to the director. "Amanda....right?" The director said. "Yeah." I said. "Have you ever read Twilight before?" HE asked. "I have read the whole series twice. I'm reading Eclipse again right now." I said. The director look very surprised. "Umm...interesting. You will have a teacher coming in to help you with your education." The director said. "Yes." I said. "We are having a cast meeting, in the building over there, be there around 3ish." She pointed. "Okay. Anything else I should know about?" I asked. "No, you meet some of your cast member before." She said. I started to walk back to my trailer and I was looking at everybody that walked passed me. I saw Taylor. Man, he is soo hott! I said to myself. I walked back to my trailer and I had about an hour to kill. I was happy that I brought my laptop and some of my study's. My phone went off. It was Kelsey. "Ohmygod! Kelsey I haven’t talked to you in forever. How are you?" I said. "I don't have much time to talk. I'm on my way to a premiere with the boys." Kelsey said. "Ohh. Ummm....okay. Well I have some news for you. I'm starring in-" I was cut off. "I have to go. I'm here. I’ll call u within the week." She said. "Within a week?! What kind of friend are you?" I said. "I'm a friend a good one and now I'm famous with Sydney and I’ll probably get even more famous then you will ever be." Kelsey said. "Wow. You don't need to call me anymore." I said with sadness in my voice then hung up. It was almost 3 and I thought I was going to be late. I grabbed my phone and put it in sweatshirts pocket and put it on vibrate. I ran out of the trailer and I tripped and I landed in the arms of Taylor Lautner. "Ohmygod I'm so sorry." I said. "It's alright." He said. "You going to meet the rest of the cast?" I asked. "Yeah. Want to walk with me?" He asked. "Sure." I said. "So, I hear that your a singer?" He asked. "Yeah." I said. "Have you gone on tour yet?" He asked. "I was suppose to start yesterday but I decided to hold it off since I'm here right now." I said. We walked into the building together just before 3 and we made it just as everybody sat down. The director Catharine and the producer and everybody else introduced themselves. Robert introduced himself first then I was. "Hi, I'm Amanda Paige. (Note: NOT REAL LAST NAME!!) I lived in Jersey since the age of 5. Then moved to Michigan and lived there until the age of 10." After I said that Taylor looked very surprised. "Then moved to California. Right now I am 16. I play soccer, softball, and volleyball, I do track and I'm also an all-star cheerleading. I'm also a 4 time world champion at gymnastics and martial arts I do. That's basically what you need to know." I said. Then we went around the table. Then in the middle of the producer talking again my phone went off, singing In The Ayer by Flo Rida. I swear I put it on vibrate but when I looked at it is said Nick. I pressed ignore and I then correctly put my phone I vibrate. After the meeting I went back to the trailer grabbed my things and I walked to the hotel that I was staying at which was about a block away. I unpacked and I thought about going swimming.

Chapter 2

I grabbed a bikini out and I put it on and then I grabbed my Eclipse book, my phone, and my room key, then headed down to the pool. As I got closer to the pool I could smell the pool water. I walked in and grabbed a towel and I walked over and sat down at one of the lounge chairs. For awhile I sat there reading, until somebody sat at the end of my lounge chair and the top of the chair came up. I screamed. "Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you." Taylor said. "That’s alright." I said. "I thought I would be alone since it's almost 11 at night." He said. "Wow....ummm, I better get going to my room." I said getting up and I started walking with everything. "Wait." Taylor jumped up and grabbed my arm. I got startled and fell backward into the pool and he didn’t let go and fell in to, but thank god my phone, book and key fell on the concrete and not in the pool. "Are you alright? I'm so sorry." Taylor said. "I'm fine. Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah, I have a question for you?" He asked shyly. "Yeah.." I said. "What happen with you and that Jonas kid." He said. I just laugh as I swam over to the ladder to get out. "What?" He said and followed. "He cheated on me with some girl from Europe. Demi and Selena saw them kissing behind the tent at the Disney Channel Games then at the last day, the performance day I walked backstage to wish them good luck and there they were making out." I said as I grabbed the towel. Pick up my stuff from the side of the pool. A tear fell down my face. I got up and he said. "Amanda, you deserve somebody better than him." He said as he gave me a hug. "Ugh. I just can't get over it. Ever since then I have been writing songs like crazy." I said and now I was crying. I was in Taylor’s arms he was trying to calm me down every way possible. "I'm sorry." I said. "It's okay." He said wiping my tears away. I thought to myself this is not happening right now. "Well, I’m going to go back to my room." I said grabbing my stuff and walking back up with a towel rapped around me. "Wait, I have a question?" He asked. "Yeah.." I said. "Your a gymnastics world champion and you lived in Michigan." He asked. "Yupp, 4 time world champion." I said leaving the pool room with him still following me. "And martial arts." He said. "Think fast" I said throwing my foot in the air and he grabbed it and threw it to the ground. "Woah." He said. "Told you to think fast." I said opening my door and closing it behind him. I put my stuff on the table near the door and watched him through the peek hole. He walked across to his room. I grabbed a piece of small paper and wrote down this: (853) 453-4536(NOTE: NOT MY REAL NUMBER) call me Amanda. I walked out made sure nobody was looking. Kept my door wide open knocked on the door, slid the piece of paper under his door and ran and closed the door and watched out of the peek hole. To see if he would come out. He did looked up and down the hallway and looked at his feet and laughed a little. I walked away to go get ready for bed. I changed into my shorts and t-shirt and called the main office for a wake up call in the morning. 

Chapter 3

I woke up to the ringing for the phone. It was my wake up call. I got up put my hair up in a messy bun. Put my jeans on my shirt and sweatshirt and then did my make up. I walked out to the lobby and I grabbed a cup of coffee and I started to walk to the set. When I was about to walk into my trailer Catherine called me to talk to me. "Yeah.." I said. "The first seen we will being filming is the fight seen. Make up and clothing will be in your trailer anytime soon." She said. I nodded and then walked back to my trailer. I looked over my script for the fight seen just to refresh my memory. As I picked up the script I saw a piece of paper that had my name on it. I took the piece of paper and on the back was a number. Then it said: call me. I have to ask you something. Taylor. I just smiled. I walked out of my trailer and I walked over to Taylor's. I knocked on the door and he answered. "So..you have to ask me something?" I said showing him the paper and then sitting on his couch. "Yeah.." He said sitting next to me. "and.." I said. "Do you want to go to the movies with me tonight?" He asked. "Pick me up at seven." I said with a smile on my face. Then I walked out of his trailer and then walked back to mine. I ran into Ashley(Alice), "Heyy." I said. "Hi." She said. "I can see that your get prepared." I said. She giggled,"Yeah, but the clothing and make up department are running late." "Good to know, thanks." I said and I started walking to my trailer again. When I got in there was my band waiting for me. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked as my guitarist Brandi came up to me and gave me a hug. "We heard you got into this movie and we want to wish you go luck." She said. "Aww. Thanks you guys." I said giving them each a hug. "Amanda, we have a new beat for you to listen too." David, my drummer, said. "Let me here." I said. I handed Brandi my guitar, and the beat was really good. "I started working on this song that would really go great with this beat. How can I decide what's right?" I started to sing it.
(PARAMORE: DECODE. CANT WRITE SONGS FOR MY LIFE!!!)
"When you're clouding up my mind
Can't win your losing fight all the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
You wont take away my pride
No not this time
Not this time

How did we get here?
I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And its hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood,
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out on my own
(I'm screaming "I love you so..." But my thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here?
I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves

How did we get here?
I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I use to know you so well

I think I know
I think I know...." "I don't know how to end it though." I said. Brandi jumped up. "I got it. What about this.....There is something that I see in you It might kill me I want it to be true." She said. "Ohh, that’s good I like it!" I said. Then I heard a very loud knock on my door. I walked to the door and then I see clothing come in and a whole bunch of make up. "Guys, I'm sorry I guess you have to go. We'll practice tomorrow. Tonight I can't do." I said with a smile on my face. "It's something to do with a boy." Brandi said while she left and everybody followed her. I walked over to where I would get ready. I sat down in the chair and I got my make up done and then I put on the outfit they picked out. I put on the jeans and the long-sleeved shirt. They gave me this giant coat to put on when I’m not acting. I walked out and I headed over to the set.

Chapter 4

Today was the first day of filming. It was a Friday and after filming I was planning to head back to California and spend the weekend with my family. We started filming around 9 a.m.. We spent a couple hours of filming and then we were done. The time that I got back into my room was 5. Two hours until the movies with Taylor. I heard a knock at my door around 6:30 when I was doing my hair. I open the door and all of the sudden I was on the ground and I screamed. "Ohmygod! What are you guys doing here?!?!!" I said while they helped me up. "We came to rescue you for the week." Bam Margera said with his crew behind him. "Rescue me for what?" I asked while I got a hug from Raab, Dunn, and Dico were the only ones with Bam. "Where is the rest of the crew?" I asked. "Didn't want to come because of something." He said. "Ohh okay. So why are you here to rescue me again?" I asked really not wanting to know. "We heard that you were starring in a movie...... and...uhhh.... we wanted to see how it's going." Raab said. I just laughed with Bam, Dunn, and Dico. "Yeah like she'll believe that." Bam said. "That’s probably the worst making up as you going along line ever..... Now tell me the truth why are you here?" I said. "We haven't seen you in awhile so we came to stop bye and say hello." Dunn said. "Aww. That’s nice of you." "But the real reason is because we are taking you back to West Chester for the week. Grab your bags and we are leaving now." Bam said throwing all my clothes in the duffle bag on the floor. "What the hell is this?" He said picking and throwing it on the bed. "School work.....still in high school." I said picking it up and putting it in the other duffle bag. "Well come on lets go." Raab said pushing me out of the door. "Hold on I have my stuff in the bathroom." I said going to the bathroom, unplugging the straightner, grabbing all my make- up and everything else I own and putting it in a separate bag and then started going to the door. "Wait, I was suppose to go to the movies tonight. I'll be right there." I said while they started walking to the lobby. I walked back and knocked on Taylor's door. "Hey, I thought I was suppose to come and get you." He said welcoming me in. "I'm sorry, but I can't go to the movies with you tonight. My cousin, Bam, and his friends are here and I'm going to Pennsylvania with him. I'm really sorry." I said giving him a hug and then running down the hallway. I met up with all of them waiting in the lobby with my stuff around them. "Took you long enough." Bam said. "Sorry." I said. We walked out and then jumped into an Escalade and we were headed off to the airport. That’s when I finally notice the cameras around us. "What’s with the cameras?" I asked. "Well, we are filming another or maybe a couple of seasons of Viva La Bam." He said. "Ohh. Okay." I said yawning. "Looks like somebody is tired." Raab said. "Yeah, I had to get up at 5:30 this morning." I said. We arrived at the airport and when I walked out of the car a swarm of paparazzi came over to me with cameras asking me questions. "How are you feeling about the break- up with Nick Jonas from a year ago?" or "Have you and Nick talked it out yet?" were the ones that were asked the most and were the loudest. I walked to the back of the car and Bam, Raab, Dunn, and Dico surrounded me and then security came and surrounded them. So I was in the middle of a big pile carrying some of my luggage. And YES it has been about almost a year since the whole me and Nick break up thing happened. The good thing was that my birthday was coming up and I was going to be 17 finally. Driver License will be around the corner. "Does this always happen?" Dunn asked when we got into the airport. "Yeah, there all looking to get the best picture." I said while the officer asked me to take off my shoes and put them in a bucket with all my other stuff. They checked my baggage. Cameras were going off all over the place. "Look at there faces. They all looked stressed out to get the best picture." I said with my back turn toward them. Bam looked back. "Don't make a scene." I said. We got on the plane and we were in first class. I sat next to Bam and in front of us were Raab and Dunn. "Where is Dico going to sit?" I asked. "Right there." Bam said pointing to the next row over where he was already passed out. "Fine with me." I said. "What have you been up to since the last time I saw you?" Bam asked. "You know cheerleading, snowboarding, skating, being hated, and being heart broken, beside that the same." I said. They all just laughed. "Who hates you?" Dunn asked. "A lot of people. Miley Cyrus I'm on the top of her list." I said. "Why?" Dunn asked. "Well, she declared I stole her 'boyfriend' from her, but the thing is that they broke up about 6 months before." "I heard that." Somebody said. Then Miss Miley Cyrus comes out from nowhere. "Do you like stalk me or something?" I said. "No, I was on my way to the Twilight set, because they were thinking of replacing you.".......

Chapter 5

Right after Miley said that I woke up. "How long was I asleep?" I asked then I looked around and everybody else was asleep too. "I guess I'm talking to myself." I said. "Wow. I gotta stop this." I said again. I took out my iTouch and I went on the internet because there was nothing else to do. I was on Myspace looking at my profile and adding friends and looking at my comments from all kinds of fans asking how I was since the break up and everything. I wrote this in my blog: Hii everybody! Right now I'm on a plane with my cousin Bam and his friends Raab, Dunn, and Dico. Those are there nicknames, just wanted to point out. I'm doing fine with everything but it is a little rough. My family and friends have been there for me. =] I just woke up and everybody else around me is sleeping and Dico, haha he’s too funny to explain in words. Well, since I'm here and I'll probably get comments asking who the hell are Dunn, Raab, Dico and Bam. Well, Bam Margera, yess the skateboarder, is my cousins but he acts like my big brother. Raab is one of his friends and part of the CKY Crew, Dunn is also his friend and part of the CKY Crew, Dico another friend of his and also part of the CKY Crew. Then you can't forget Novak, Glomb, and Rake(i'm not too sure if Rake is still part of it). It’s like having 7 older brothers! Very crazy. Well, I think I will grab something to eat since I’m very hungry and then  throw it at one of the guys!hehehe =] love, amanda<333 P.S!! I'm thinking of getting my belly button pierced. what do you think?
I got up and walked over to the snack counter and grabbed grapes. I sat back down and I was eating some and adding friends at the same time. I was getting bored, so I decided to see if I can wake up Raab by throwing a grape. I threw a grape and he moved a little. I threw another and still nothing. I was about to throw another but then the flight attendant walked by. She walked into the little room in the back and made an announcement that our first stop in Chicago will be coming up in about an hour. I threw another grape and he moved until I just gave up and I started throwing grapes at Dunn and then he didn't do anything. I threw on grape at Dico and he woke up stood up and then sat back down and then fell back to sleep. I just stared at him for a minute and didn't know what to do. I was looking thought my iTouch and then a saying  popped into my head that would be go for a song and then I went through my looking for my note pad and a pen or a pencil to write with. I wrote the saying down on the top of my paper it was "Revenge Is Sweeter Then You Ever Were". I sat there and I started forming a chorus around it. It went like this:
do you even know how much it hurt
that you gave up on me to be with her
revenge is sweeter than you ever were (*NOTE* this is the chorus from the song Revenge IS Sweeter Than You Were by The Veronicas***THE WHOLE SONG IS FROM THEM!!******)
When I was thinking of a bridge for the song then Bam woke up. "Hey." He said. "Hi." I said. "How long have you been up?" HE asked me. "About 30 minutes of so." I said. "Are we almost in Chicago?" He asked. "Yupp about 30 minutes or so." I said. "Ohh. Well time to take a piss break." He said. "Thanks for telling me." I said and then he got up and went to the bathroom. I was still looking thought my iPod trying to find something to do. When he got back everybody was still asleep. When he sat back down and idea popped into my head. "Bam put up your hands like this." I said. "Are you ready?" I asked. "Yeah." He said. "Okay.....K-Mart, Wal- Mart.." I hit both of his hands and then.."Target." I hit him in his forehead. HE just looked at me. "That’s good." He said. "I'm going to wake up Raab and Dunn. You get Raab and I'll get Dunn." He said. He started hitting and punching both of them and they woke up. "What the hell?!" Dunn said. "Both of you put up your hands." "Why?" Raab asked. "Just fucking do it." He said. "Are you ready?" I asked Raab. "Yeah." He said. "Dunn are you ready?" I asked. "Yeah." He said. I nodded my head and Bam and I said," K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Target." They both went backwards into there seats. "What the hell?" Dunn said while laughing. "Please put your seatbelts on we are going to be landing in about 10 minutes." The flight attendant said. "Wait, do we stay on the plane or do we get off and change planes?" I asked very confused. They just laughed at me. "You’re such a blonde." Dunn said laughing. "Not my fault, I got confused.” I said. "We stay on the plane, genius." Bam said laughing. "Heyy, I'm not usually riding in First Class." I said. "Really? Do you ride in Coach." Bam asked. "No, private jet. I'm not use to all these stops." I said. "Yeah right." Bam said. "Wanna bet?" I asked. "Then get off the plane, when it stops." I said. "Fine, but I bet you 100 bucks that you don't have a private jet." Bam said. "Fine, I need that 100 bucks to go shopping." I said. "Ohhh." Raab and Dunn said. When we got off the plane I immeditally called the pilot to bring in the jet. Lucky the jet was in the Chicago airport. The security walked us out of the airport and to the jet. "Pay your dues." I said with my hand out. "I'll give it to you on the plane." He said. I rolled my eyes. We got on the plane and he gave me my money. I opened my purse and grabbed my wallet out and stuck the hundred in there with all my other money. "Holy shit. Get the money." Bam said. I got up and hopped over them and locked myself in the back room. "Amanda get out of here." They said. "Haha. Yeah right." I said. Then my phone started to ring. "Hello." I said. "Cheerleading Competition. Tomorrow at Atlantic City. Level 6 cheer dance." Brandi said. "The Coed one and plus is Kelsey going to be there?" I asked nervously. "No she still on level 5 and yes the coed one. See ya in Atlantic City."  She said and hung up. "Wait.. ughh!" I said. My back was still up against the door. "Hey!" I screamed. "Open the door." Bam said. "If you guys stop all the banging, I’ll give you each 100 bucks. All you have to do it sit down." I said. They all sat down. I walked out. "Now, I have to talk to the pilot, because I have a cheerleading competition tomorrow in Atlantic City. Now stay and I'll give you your money when I get back." I walked up to the pilots little area and told them to drop me off at Atlantic City. I walked back out and then made my way to the back room. "Like I would give you the money. Ha." I said. I sat in the back room and then I feel asleep and the boys broke in and woke me up and I gave them the money. Then fell back to sleep, but on Raab shoulder.

Chapter 6

Raab woke me up and said, "Were in A.C." "Thanks. You guys stay on the plane. The plane will take you to Newark." I said getting off. "Can't we watch." Bam said following me. "On ESPN. Its broadcast on tv because its the last competition before World's. I'll explain everything later." I said. walking off into a crowd of people and while he walked back on the plane. Grabbed my luggage from one of the people that worked on the plane. I saw my cheerleading coaches and I walked to them and we started to walk to the car. "Kelsey is going to be here, except on a level lower." Coach Angel said. "Great." I said while rolling my eyes. We reached the arena and I put on my sunglasses so I wouldn't get that noticed that quick. "I have a surprise for you." Coach Selena said. "What?" I said. Somebody tapped my shoulder, I turned around it was Evan, my best guy friend in the whole entire world. "Ohmigod! What are you doing here?" I asked while giving him a hug. "I've been dying to ask you this. Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked nervously. "Yes." I said. I was soo happy. I gave him a kiss on the check. "I got to go." I said heading over to the team. When I saw everybody again I realized that everybody moved up to either the level 6 girls only team or the level 6 coed team except kelsey. I was on the coed team with 12 other girls including me and 24 guys. I got ready into my uniform and we warmed up and stretched. I put my braces on my knee and ankle got my make- up all done up, and curled my hair and waited until our team was called on. Before we went on I said," If we make it to World's we have to get our belly button pierced." "I like that idea and you can finally get the bar." Brandi said. "Yeah." I said. I was soo excited. They called us on and there watching us was Nick, Joe, Kevin, Kelsey, and Sydney and there next to them was Casey. Can this be any worse I thought, but there was a good thing, Evan was there, but the only reason was that his twin sister was on the team. We got in our positions.( when I can get a video, I’ll put it up.) When we got off everything was went as we planned it and I had a one guy base, which was really fun because he can hold me with on hand, we do a lot of stunts together. We got off and I was soo happy. We were all screaming with excitement when we got off. "Way to go." Casey confronted me and said. "Thanks." I said and I took a step and then I realized I was on the ground. "What the hell is your problem." I asked getting up. "Nothing. You just think that your prefect in every way." She said. "Excuse, me." I said then I realized that all the cameras were on us. "Want me to say it again." She said pushing me. "No." I said pushing back. She slapped me and then she said," What are you going to do now, call your body guards?" "No, this." I said and slapped her, by now everybody that was watching the watching there tv was sure glued to it now.

Bam's house 
"Guy's you better come here now." Dunn said watching the TV from upstairs while everybody
was getting snacks. "Why?" Bam said while stuffing chips in his mouth. "Because Amanda is in a HUGE fight." Dunn said. "WHAT?!?!" Everybody said from downstairs. "Holy sh*t, the other girl is getting a beating." Raab said. "Well, Amanda is a black belt." Bam said. "Really?" Glomb said. "Yeah, don't get on her bad side." Bam said. "Thanks, for the warning." Glomb said. "Ohh." Everybody said. 

Cheering
"I'm sick and tired of you." I said and now we were on the mat and everybody was taking pictures. "Give me a break." Casey said when I jumped on her back. "Why should I?" I said throwing her to the ground. Then I realized my friends were in front of me. "Calm down." They said pushing me off the stage. "I'm sick of her." I said and all of the cameras were on me asking me: "Why did you do it Amanda?" I screamed "STOP! That girl is so much trouble just because I'm on a different level that she is in cheerleading she thinks she can beat the sh*t out of me anytime anywhere. Well I'm tired of it. Casey has pissed me off the last time." "Amanda, the slap on your face is turning a little purple." Brandi whispered. "I don't care, get me the hell out of here." I said. "I'm not done with you." Casey comes through the crowd. I laughed and said, "Oh, really?" "Yeah." She came face to face with me. "You seriously, need and attitude check." Casey said and then started to punch me to death. Security had to pull her off of me. I got up and walked it off and then when I walked into the bathroom I had a bloody nose, a starting of a black eye, and starting of burses on my arms and maybe a couple of broken fingers, plus the giant hand print on my face. "Lets go get you to the medic." Brandi said. "No, I'm fine." I said while pinching my nose to stop bleeding. I walked out of the bathroom and the medics where there waiting for me any way. They checked out my nose and my fingers and my eye. "You have a couple of broken fingers from defending your self and a black eye." The medic said taping up my fingers up. "Thanks." I said. "Get me out of here, now please." I said to Brandi. "My mom and I will take you to your cousin house." She said. We walked back to our little area where we all got ready and I grabbed my stuff and put on sunglasses and Brandi grabbed her stuff then she went to go get her mom and when she left I had all these cameras and videos people came up to me. When I headed for the changing area and changed in shorts and a cami and I put on a Hollister sweatshirt. I started walking to the door and then we got to the car and when we got out of the parking lot it was all clear. I checked my phone for messages and they were all from Bam, Raab, Dico, Glomb, or Dunn and one from Rake and he left a voicee mail. I had an hour car ride to West Chester. Fun!  

Chapter 7

"Do you just want to go to Bam's house?" Brandi asked me. "Can we stop and pick up some Monsters or Rockstars? I said. "YEah, sure thing. How’s your eye?" She asked. "It hurts, but I'll be fine." I said. "Of course." She said and laughed a little. I just smiled. We stopped at a WaWa type store and me and Brandi picked out all different kinds of Monsters and Rockstars. "Don't get the blue Monster. It has low carbs." I said. Brandi just laughed. My phone started to ring, it said Bam. "Hello." "Where are you? I thought you were on your way back." He asked all worried. "Get one more regular Rockstar." I said. "What?" Bam said laughing. "Sorry, that was to Brandi. I'm picking some stuff up. Do you need anything?" I asked. "Chips." He said. I started to walk down the chips isle. "What kind?" They all started screaming into the phone. "what?" I said and hung up the phone and practically grabbed every kind of chip they sold. "What’s with al the chips?" Brandi asked. "Bam and all of his friends started to scream into the phone at once saying what kind of chips they wanted, so I just decided to grab every kind of chip they had." I said. "That works." She said. "Yeah." I said putting all the chips, Monsters and Rockstars on the counter. "Your total is $35.20." I handed her two 20's. "Wait your, Amanda Paige." She said. "Yeah, that’s me." I said. I was trying to figure out how she recognized me with my sunglasses on.  "Ready?" Brandi asked me. "Yeah." I said. We headed out to her car with her mom and then headed to Bam's house. It was another 10 minutes in the car on the way to Bam's which wasn't really bad. When I got to Bam's house it still looks the same with the Unicorn picture. It knocked on the door but then I decided to walk right in with Brandi carrying my cheerleading stuff. "Hey, I'm here." I said. "Down in the kitchen." Bam said. I walked in saw my luggage by the stairs going down to the kitchen. "You can put my stufff down right there." I said to Brandi. She put my cheerleading stuff down and then we headed down to the kitchen. "Here's your chips." I said throwing them on the table. "Why did you get so much?" Glomb asked. "Well when you all scream into the phone at once, its kinda hard to hear the exact kind." I said. "Sorry. How did you do at the cheerleading thing?" Bam asked. "Well, we haven't found out it we go to World's yet, but I think we did good." I said. "So, how is that eye?" Raab asked. "Yeah, it hurts." I said while taking off my sunglasses. "Wow. Are you alright?" Bam asked. "Yeah, I'm just very tired. I think I’m going to lay down on the couch." I said. I put the energy drinks on the table. Then my phone rang, it was from Ryan Sheckler. The story behind that is what you say a long story because you never want to explain, when its actually a short story. Well, I was at a skate boarding thing when I was 14 he was there with his family. I wasn't trying to impress him or anything. It was like an all girls skate show. I was one of the more experienced skaters because I have Bam as a cousin and he taught me how to skate when I was about 5. I thought I was doing really good, but that’s when I tried a trick that I really hadn't nailed it yet and I ended up landing it surprisingly and then a girl ran into me and was pushed off my skate board and slid on my knees and ended up almost knocking over Ryan. It ended up that he was watching me the whole time. Well after cleaning up my knees and had a whole lot of road rash, we stayed in the same hotel. We talked for awhile in the lobby, we exchanged number and found out that we live about an hour away from each other. We hung out a lot and we kinda became an item. He was becoming world famous with his skating and was starting his own tv show and was not home as much and he said that he thought he wasn't being the perfect boyfriend. So we stopped seeing each other but we were like brother and sister and still are. That’s what makes him special to me. 
I picked up my phone and said,” Can you stay on the line for 2 minutes? My friend is leaving." "Yeah, sure thing." He said. I put my phone in my sweatshirt pocket and walked Brandi out to her car. "I will text you when I find out how we did." She said while she got in the car. "Okay and thanks again." I said. "Anytime." She said, as I closed the door and then went to grabb my phone out of my sweatshirt pocket. "Okay, sorry about that." I said as I walked inside and sat on the leather couch. "That’s okay. I am just wondering how that eye is feeling?" He said. "How did you find out." I asked. "Its all over the news and I was flick it hroughght the channels and it was on ESPN. The whole recap of it." He said with a little laugh. "I'm so embarrassed." I said. "I thought it was pretty funny." He said laughing. "Well, I'm just going to say I'm in pain." I said. "I went to your house today to see if you wanna hang out and I found out that you were in Atlantic City doing something for cheerleading, that’s what your mom said." HE said. "Yeahh..im staying at my cousins house for a couple of days." I said. "when will you be back in town?" He asked. "I can leave a couple of days earlier." I said. "Okay. That’s works. I better let you go. Your probably really tried and in lots of pain." He said with a little laugh. "Your right. I’ll talk to you later. Bye." I said. "Bye." He said. I hung up and right after I hung up I fell right to sleep.

Chapter 8

Bam's POV
Okay, when Amanda went up stairs we decided to drink all of her energy drinks. About an hour after she fell asleep her team came bye and wanted to take her out to celebrate there victory of getting second and heading to Worlds. We let them in and we decided she needed a little water to wake her up. I picked her up and we went outside by the pool. I thought when she hit the water she would wake up, but that didn't actually happen. We threw her in the pool and then we realized she was just floating there. "Bam what the hell are you doing?! She's going to drown if you don't do anything." Brandi said freaking out. I jump in the pool and brought her out on the pavement to see if she was alright. She was still breathing and then next thing I knew I ended up in the pool again.

My POV
"Next time you want to throw me in the pool without waking me up, you"ll be under for awhile." I said. While brandi handed me a towel. "Bam, why did you do that to the poor girl. Look at her already." April said. "Ape! Listen take a chill." Bam said. The here comes Don Vito. "Ohmigod. Who invited you over?" Ape said. "I heard you were having steak." Vito said. "Of course you' re here for the food." She said. "Well, I'm going to go." I said and the team followed. We went to go get our belly buttons pierced and the bar that I really wanted. Its and earring that goes where you get your cart ledged pierced and then about halfway down your ear. I was really excited. They said it would hurt and it did. After that and because we got second and are going to Worlds we wanted to celebrate. "You guys go ahead. I'm going to go back to my cousins house and sleep." I said. One of my coaches brought me back to Bam's house. "Hey guys I'm back." I said and walking to the living room area. "Let me see." Bam asked. I showed him the bar and my belly button. "Lime green bar and a simple belly button ring... Nice." He said. "Now I dare you to get pink high lights in your blonde hair." HE continues. "Me with pink streaks in my hair, I like that idea. My mom would kill me though." I said. "Would your mom kill you if we asked you to move in with us?" Raab asked. "I think- Wait what?! Are you guys serious?" I said surprised. "Yeah. Since we never really see you anymore and soon you will be on tour and we thought that you could move in." Bam said. "Thanks guys, that’s really nice of you. When I get back home I will ask my mom." I said. "It's 11:30 and it looks like your tried and that eye is really puffy now." Glomb said. "I am very tried and thanks for noticing my eye." I said. "You can sleep in my bed." Bam said. "No. That’s alright I'll sleep on the couch." I said and everybody started laughing. I got changed and ready for bed and I got comfortable and fell right asleep. Next morning I woke up to my phone ringing. "Hello." I said. "Yes, Amanda. This is the producer of Twilight and we have to tell you something." HE said. "Okay. What is it?" I asked. "We're kicking you off the movie. The first girl is coming back and we feel that your to young to play Bella." She said. "Okay. I totally understand." I said. "Thanks, I'm sorry for disturbing you this afternoon." She said. "That’s okay. Bye." I said and when she said afternoon I was confused. I looked at my phone and it was 11 o'clock. I wasn't surprised but I had to get up. I decided to go find everybody. I hear everybody by the pool. I walk out with no make- up and I see Glomb jumping on the diving board. "Good morning sleeping beauty." Dunn said. "I just got a call from the producer from Twilight." I said walking down the stairs next to the pool. "Yeah?" Bam said. "I'm out of the movie. They said I was to young to play Bella." I said. "That's alright. You will have more fun here than you will there." Glomb said and right after he said that he went for another jump and broke the diving board and fell in. We all started laughing. "I can fix that." Glomb said picking the board up and putting it next to the base of the diving board. "sure you can." I said. There rest of the day me and Bam spent the day together. We skated boarded on the Snake Run Driveway and we drove quads and dirt bikes. "Wanna race?" Bam asked me. "Are you sure you know what your getting into?" I ask. "Of course. I know you race Quads and dirt bikes but it doesn't meann I can't beat you." He said. "whatever you say." I said. I ended up beating him.
The next few days were the same and most of the time I was wondering if it was a good idea to be moving in with him. Now, I'm worried about telling Ryan what was going to happen.

 Chapter 9

It was the day I was going back home to California. I woke up at 11 and had to be at Newark airport at 1. I put on jean shorts and a tank top and I hoodie that said Rolling Stones. I was really excited to see my family and friends again. Bam drove me the airport. Again I had security around me when I walked into the airport. I gave everybody a hug right before I went on the plane. "I'll see you soon." I said right before I walked on the plane and took my seat in first class. Since my mom doesn't know I'm coming it will be a surprise....hopefully. When I got to LAX Airport I called a taxi service and they took me home. When I got home my mom's car was in the drive way and my brother had a whole bunch of his friends over. "Hi, Michael." I said once I got out of the car and went to the trunk to get my luggage out and everything. "What are you doing home so early? Aren't you suppose to be filming Twilight?" HE asked. "Yes, but they cut me out of the film. Can You help me carry in my luggage?" I asked. "Sure." He said. Even his friends helped out. "You can just set it right next to the door." I said as I dropped it in the same place. "Hi, mom. I'm home." I said as I walked into the kitchen and found her cooking dinner. I gave her a hug. "Hey, why are you back so early from filming?" She asked. "Well, they cut me because I'm to young to play the part." "I’m sorry. There be other movies." She said "Oh, your birthday is Saturday and Tuesday you go to get your drivers license." She continued. "Okay." I said while I started to make my way up the stairs to bring all my luggage up. I decided to unpack so I didn’t have to do it later. I took my about and hour and hen my mom called me down to dinner. My brothers friends went home and he went with one of them. I thought this would be perfect to ask her about moving out. My mom made spaghetti and we talked for awhile and caught up on everything. "Mom I have to ask you something." I started. I was really nervous. "Yeah?" She said. "Well.... did you hear what happened to me at our Competition?" I asked. Okay I chickened out. "Yeah, hows the black eye?" She asked. "Well its mostly purple now but it better than before." I said. Okay one more try. "As you know I was at Bam's house for a couple of days and well...he asked me to move in with them." I said really fast. "What was that I really didn't understand you." She said. "Bam wants me to move in with him." I asked. "Fine. Do whatever you want." She said. "Are you sure you are okay with this?" I asked very surprised. "Yeah one less kid I have to take care of." She said getting up and threw her in the sink and it broke. I couldn't believe that she said that. One less kid I have to take care of. Kept playing over and over in my head. "Can I be excused from dinner?" I asked politely. She nodded her head. "When Michael gets home can you tell him to come to my room." I asked. "Yeah." she said. I walked up to my room in tears. One less kid I have to take care of. Played in my head over and over again. After awhile I stopped crying and went on Myspace to check everything. I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." I said and my brother came in. "Mom said you had to ask me something." He said. "Yeahh...Do you remember Bam? He lives in Pennsylvania. HE has the Snake Run Driveway." I said. "Yeah. He's a skateboarder." He said. "Yeah.. He asked me to move in with him." I said hoping he will have a little compassion. "Really?" He said. "yeah." I said. "Your moving out! Can I have your room? Its much bigger than mine." He said. "No. I'm still going to come visit and everything." I said. In my head I was like this is not happening. "Well, you don't have to come back." He said. "Well, I want to see you and all my friends." I said. "Okay." he said and walked out of my room singing. "Amanda's moving out. Amanda's moving out." Over and over again. I decided to call Ryan. "Heyy. Can you meet me at the beach? Where we usually meet. I have to tell you something." I said with tears running down my face. "Okay. Is everything okay?" He asked. "No.. not really." I said ad then hanged up the phone. I walked downstairs and said,"I'm going to the beach?" I said. "Don't you need your surfboard?" my mom asked. "No. I'm just going to walk." I said. "Be back before 11." She said. I walked out and grabbed my skateboard and skateboarded down to the beach. It took me about 5 minutes. I found the bench that we usually meet and talk at and I sat there and waited. Another 5 minutes went by and he was there. "What’s wrong?" He asked as he sat down. "I'm going to ask you something. What if I told you that I was moving to West Chester?" I asked. "That’s about 45 minutes away from me." He said. "No. I mean West Chester Pennsylvania." I said. "Wait..what do you mean?" He asked. "Bam, my cousin asked me to move in with him." I said. "You can't move in with him. It wouldn't be the same without you." He said. "Okay." I said. "Now, what did you really call me down here for." He asked. That’s the thing about Ryan. He knows when theres something more to the problem. "Okay. Well I asked my mom about it and her response was fine do whatever you want. It's one less kid I have to take care of." I said and there was a tear that fell down my face. He wiped it away. "She actually said that." He asked. "Yeah. I asked my brother to see if he would care about me leaving. Instead he asked me if he can have my room and when he walked out he started singing Amanda's moving out over and over." I said and now I was crying. "It's alright. It's your choice if you want to move out." HE said as he gave me a hug. "The thing is that it's been like this since my dad has left. I was the middle child and my mom barely notices me." I said sitting back on the bench. I wiped my tears one more time. We talked for a while and watched the sunset together. We walked up and down the beach. "Just wondering, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked. "Yeah, I do. His name is Evan. Do you have a girlfriend?" I asked. "I'm single." He said. After talking to him about boyfriends and girlfriends he look kinda upset when I said I had a boyfriend. "Welll.. I think I should be getting home." I said picking my board up. "Just remember its your choice if you move out." He said giving me a hug. "Thanks for coming out here and thanks for the advice." I said. "Anytime. Do you need a ride home?" He asked. "If you don't mind." I asked and I followed him to his car and he drove me home. "Thanks again." I said again when I got out of the car and he walked me. “You didn't have to walk me in you know." I said. "I wanted to." He said. I gave him one more hug and I went inside and after that I went straight to bed.

Chapter 10

I woke up around 8 thinking I will go surfing and ask Evan if he wants to come. I ate my breakfast by myself as usual. "Are you going surfing?" My brother asked coming in his pink boxers. "Yeah and just to tell you it takes a real man to wear pink." I said. He just smiled. After eating I got changed into my bikini that was lime green with black zebra prints. I put my splatter paint board shorts on and then called Gavin. "Hey." He said. "Hey. Today I'm going to go surfing and I was wondering if you wanted to come. " I asked. Packing my wax and everything in my Volcom back pack that I needed I also packed flip flops. "Sure. What time?" He asked. "How about 10." I asked. "Sure. Meet you there." He said. "Okay bye." I said and then hanged up. It was 9: 30 so I decided to ask my mom if she could give me a ride. "Hey, mom can you give me a ride to the beach in 10 minutes?" I asked. "Sure. Go put your things in the car and get ready." She said. I put my surf board in the Jeep and went to go get a shirt and towel and get the flip flops I pack. I also grabbed my back pack and grabbed a Red Bull and a water and got in the Jeep. My mom jumped into the Jeep and I get a ride to the beach and Gavin is already there waiting for me. "I’ll text your or call you when I need you to pick me up." I said. "Okay. I can't wait until you get your drivers licenses." She said. I just laughed. I grabbed my board out of the back and I walked up to Evan and gave him a hug. He kissed my on my forehead. "Are you ready?" he asked. "Yeah." I said and we walked to the beach. The waves were perfect today. We picked a spot on the beach not to far from where I was last night. I sat on the sand and I started waxing my board. "Hey. I have a question for you." I asked. "YEah?" He said. "My cousin Bam asked me to move in with him. He lives in Pennsylvania." I said. "Its your choice. Do what feels right." He said. Wow. Never excepted that from him. "Your right. Thanks." I said. "Are you ready?" He asked. "Yeah." I picked up my board and we both started making our way into the water. I was so excited to be hanging out with Evan. We both might of fallen once or twice. "What if we both tried surfing on my board since its a little bit longer there yours." He asked. "Sure. Lets go to land first." I said. We got out of the water and I stood my board up in the sand and I sat on the sand. I drank my Red Bull and watch him wax his board. "We will probably wipe out." He said. "That should be fun." I said as we started to walk to the water. He paddled out as I sat on the board and helped a little. "Get in the front." He said. I stood up and after that he stood up. We were doing better good until we both tried to turn two different ways and I ended up flying into the water the way I turned. Evan stayed on the board. When I came above the water Evan was surfing toward the shore. I started to swim and then I saw Ryan with Tony, Casey, and Mitch. (NOTE: If you watch the show you will know who they are.) When I got to shore Gavin was already packing ready to go. "Where are you going?" I asked. "I have to meet somebody." He said. "Okay, bye." I said going for a hug and he just took off and left. I decided to go catch a couple of more waves before I call my mom, but before I texted Brandi, Savannah, Katie, and Kate and asked them if they wanted to come surfing. 10 minutes later they were there at the beach. "Thanks for coming." I said giving them a hug. "Anytime." Kate said. "The waves are better down there." I grabbed my stuff and started walking down there with the girls. "Why were you here so early?" Brandi asked. "I was here with Evan first and he just took off. It was weird." I said. We walked right pass Ryan, Tony, Casey, and Mitch. "Hey, Amanda." Tony said. "Hey, Tony." I said. "Hi, Ryan, Casey, and Mitch." I said again. I gave them all a hug. "Okay, these are my friends Kate, Katie, Brandi, and Savannah. I also cheerlead with them." I said. "So, these are the girls your always talking about." Tony said. "Yeah basically." I said. "Do, what are you guys doing here?" Casey asked. "Amanda invited us." Savannah said. "We're just moving down the beach." Katie said. "Before I forget to ask you guys. What do you think about me moving to West Chester, Pennsylvania?" I said. "You can't move. Who am I going to Billboards with?!" Savannah said with a panic. We all started laughing. "Do you mean pool?" I asked. "Yeah. I like the name Billboards better." She said. "This is why I hang out with you." I said giving her a hug. "Thanks girlfriend... wait is that the game with the sticks and the different color balls and everything and the chalk." She asked. "Yeah." I said. "Okay good." She said. "Besides that your famous bonfires and what about cheerleading?" Brandi said. "Well, its not like I’ll stay there forever I have to come back. We're going to Worlds in less then a month. I would move after Worlds." I said setting my board on the sand and started sitting on it. "Were going to go in the water." Mitch said. "okay, we’ll be that away." I said pointing. "You know I can go on forever, but you can't leave. It won't be the same without you." Brandi said. "I really don't want to go." I said. "Then, why are you going to go?" Kate asked. "Because I can't let my cousin down." I started saying while I got up and grabbed my board and started walking down the beach. "He's literally my older brother and I just can't let him down." I said. "Your choice, Amanda." Katie said. "Yeah, that’s what Ryan said." I said. "You already talked to Ryan about this." Savannah said with a smile on her face. "Yeah" I paused. "I don't like him. You can get that idea out of your head." I said. "Well what happened?" Brandi said. "I just talked to him. That’s it." I said. "Sure." Savannah said. "I swear." I said. "Well, what are you guys doing tonight?" Katie asked. "Nothing." We all replied at the same time. My phone started to ring. "Hello." I asked. "Amanda. I have to go to San Diego until Friday so for two days. I'm taking your brother with me." My mom said. "Yes, mother. I will see you then." I said. After I hung up my phone I said, "Bonfire at my house tonight, at 6. Text everybody." "Finally." Savannah said. "Lets catch a wave and then go home and get ready for tonight." Brandi said at she got up. "Lets." Kate said. We caught a couple good waves and then headed back to Katie's Jeep. "Where you girls going?" Ryan asked. "My house 6 o'clock bonfire. Celebrating summer." I said. "We'll be there." Tony said. We all got in her Jeep and then headed to Wal- Mart to pick food up for the party. "We need lots of marsh mellows, and we should pick up wood, and like chips and everything." I said. We all grabbed a cart and we ran through Wal- Mart looking for things. By the end we ended up with 4 full carts of stuff. The total cost was over $500. "Wow." Savannah said. "How are we going to fit this in the car?" Katie asked. "We'll make it fit." Kate said. It was 2:30 when we left wal- mart. Surprisingly everything fit in the car and we went back to my house to get ready for the party.

 Chapter 11

The home phone starts ringing, I go and answer the phone. "Hello." I said picking up the phone and answering it. "Hello, is this Amanda Paige?" He asked. "This is she." I said. "Great. This is TJ Lavin. We are going to start filming a tv show called The Duel II." He said. "Okay?" I asked curious why he was calling me then. "Yes. For charity, we were wondering if you would like to participate." He asked. "Well, I need some information first. I need to know where it is." I asked. "New Zealand." He said. "Okay. When will I catch the plane?" I asked. "You will leave next Thursday and catch the plane at 4 in the morning." He said. "Okayy. I'll do it. Is there anybody else joining?" I asked. "Yes. Ryan Sheckler. I know your very close to him." He said. "Okay. I'll see you Thursday." I said. I hung up the phone and then finished getting ready for the party.  I straightened my hair and one of the first people there was Katie and Savannah. I was in the kitchen setting up the final plates of food and snacks. "Hey." Savannah said while giving me a hug. "Hey. Are you excited for today?" She asked. "Yeah." I said. Everybody came in, in small groups. Evan came in and didn't even say hello to me. If he’s going to keep this up, it might as well be over. The fire has been already started. When I was grabbing a cup of water somebody from behind hugged me. "Hey, Ryan." I said turning around. "How-" He started. "I know that hug." I said smiling. "Where's Casey and Tony?" I asked. "Tony has got 3 girls on him and Casey I have no idea." He said. I started laughing. I looked down at the floor and I saw a cell phone, I picked up the phone and it was Evan's old phone. "Who's phone is that?" Ryan asked. "Evan's." I said. "Come with me." I said taking Ryan’s hand and dragging him to my room. "What are we doing up here?" Ryan asked. I waved the phone around. "Wait.. Your going to sneak through his phone." He said. "I want to but I'm not that type of person." I said sitting on my bed. "Welll, do you know somebody who will willingly do it?" He asked. "Yeah. Savannah she's like our little secret service buddy." I said grabbing out my phone and texted Savannah and a minute later she was up in my room. "See what is in his phone. I have a feeling he’s cheating on me, and has been." I said. "Okayy.. lets see what we have here." Savannah said. "First with his voicemail." She said punching in a whole bunch of numbers. "NO voicemail." She said. "How did she find out how to do this?" Ryan asked. "Let me just say one day she was bored." I said. "Ohh, Amanda you might want to check this out." Savannah said handing me the phone. "He has a text from... My Wife dated back to this morning. It says I love our little make out session this afternoon and I love you and I wish you weren't going out with the cheerleading b*tch." I said. "I don't think we should of done this." Savannah whispered. "I can't believe I trusted him." I said walking out into the hallway and I went to the pool and I went to go find him. I found him by the pool and I decided to push him in the pool. "What the hell what that for?" He said after coming out of the water. "That’s for My Wife and the fact that you made out with her." I said. "I can explain." He said. "Ohh really? What about when she called me the cheerleading b*tch?" I said. "I can explain." Evan said. "No, don't. It's over." I said. "Baby come back." He said running after me. " Don't baby me. Get the hell away from me. I should of never trusted you." I said trying to slap him in the face, instead he grabbed my hand and held on to it. "You are going to listen to me or I will squeeze harder." He said and as he said that Ryan heard. "Let her go." Ryan said. "Why don't you just leave." Evan said letting go of my hand and pushed Ryan. "Evan leave him alone. He did nothing." I said pushing Evan away from Ryan. I started to walk out to the door and Evan kept following. "What don't you mean by listen to me?!" Evan said grabbing my hand and would start twisting my hand. I threw my other hand in the air to punch him but he was to strong and grabbed it and brought it behind my back. "That’s it." I said stomped my foot on his foot and he let go. "Amanda clam down." Ryan said pushing me away from him. "I'm got to get out of here." I said and I ran out of the house and down the street. I heard Ryan call my name but I didn't stop. I ran and I ended up at the beach.

 Chapter 12

I took out my phone and I texted Savannah, knowing she would reply. I texted her saying: can you get everybody out of the house please, and don't worry about the mess, I’ll worry about it tomorrow. thanks. Savannah replied saying: okay. I walked down to the beach and sat in the sand. I looked at the clock on my phone and I was almost 8. I decided to cover my feet in the sand and I watch the sunset by myself. I wrote my name in the sand. I have a thing with drawing hearts and stars, soo I decided to draw them in the sand. 10 minutes have past by and I felt someone tapp my shoulders. I screamed and turned my head to see who it was. I saw Ryan start to sit next to me. "You screamed me." I said looking at him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean too." He said. "It's okay." I said. He put his arm around me and I leaned my head on his shoulder. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked. "You were there, there's nothing to talk about." I said. "Don't blame your self either." I added point at him. "Okay." He said laughing. "It was my fault for trusting him. It's so hard to find the right guy." I said. In my head I was thinking: Ryan's the right guy. Ryan's the right guy. It played over and over in my head. "He's out their somewhere." He said. "He is, but knowing me I won't find him and I will end up living alone and have like 20 cats and end up dieing alone." I said. He just laugh and then said, "Doesn't everybody say that when their in this kind of situation?" "Yeah, that’s why a lot of people die alone." I said. "You're to funny." He said laughing. "That’s my job." I said, smiling. "Your hair is starting to curl." He said. "Yeah, the humidity is kicking in." I said. My phone started ringing from my back pocket. I stood up and it was my mom. "Hello." I said. "How is everything?" She said. "Just great." I said. "That’s good. We'll see you tomorrow afternoon." She said. "Okay." I said. "Ohh, tomorrow Lori, Chris, Anthony, Gage, Ciara, and Dylan are coming over tomorrow. Plus Jenny, Aunt Patti, Bob and other people. You can invite Ryan if you would like too." SHe said. "Okay. I will ask bye." I said hanging up the phone. "Your mom." Ryan said standing up. "Yeah, tomorrow we are suppose to be having a party. Would you like to come over?" I asked. "Sure. What time?" He asked. "3." I said. "Okay." He said. I gave him a hug. "Thanks." I said. "For what." He said. Instead of saying anything I kissed him, right on the lips. "I understand now." He said and we started kissing again. It was more like making out. It wasn't until like 5 minutes when we stop. "Now one more thing... Are we together or not?" He said with a smile and I laughed and I gave him another kiss. "Yes?" He said with another smile and I nodded my head. He gave me a kiss. I sat down again and I finished watching the sunset with Ryan. "I think I better get home." I said. "Get in my car and I will take you home." He said. I followed him to his car and I saw paparazzi in the bushes. I hopped into his truck and we went to my house. When we arrived at my house and everybody was gone. "Where did Casey and Tony go?" I asked. "I have no idea." He said. "Your coming to my house tonight." He also added. "Why?" I asked surprised. "Because your not going to be here by yourself tonight." He said. "Okay." I said and got out of the truck and I went though the garage to get into the house. "Amanda?" I heard Katies voice. "Katie?" I said walking into the kitchen seeing her do dishes with a random girl. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "And who are you?" I added. "Oh, this is my cousin Michelle and I cleaned up for you." Katie said. "Nice to meet you and I'm guessing your neat freak side kicked in." I said. "AHHHHH!!!!" Michelle screamed. "Your Amanda Paige and your Ryan Sheckler!!! OHMYGOD!! I'm in Amanda Paige's house!! This is unbelievable!!" Michelle screamed. "Woah." I said. "I'm sorry. Can I have your guys autograph?" She said. "Sure." Ryan and I said at the same time. "Let me find a Sharpie." I said looking through the drawers on the island. I found one and both of signed her shirt. "Thanks so much." She said giving us both hugs. "Do you know where Tony and Casey went?" Ryan asked. "Savannah brought them home." Katie said. I sat on the island. "We'll I better get home. Everything is clean." She said. "Thanks again." I said. Katie came over and I gave her a hug and Michelle. "Ohh and by the way you have a very nice house." Michelle said. "Thanks." I said and then I went up stairs to grab my stuff. "What should I grab? It's not like i’m staying for a week or anything." I said walking into my closet. "Just into your pj's now." He said. "Okay. You'll have to get out then." I said closing my closet door. I walked out in a Volcom shirt and Hollister fleece shorts. I opened the door and I walked out with my purse and I then brushed my teeth then went downstairs and locked the front door and then grabbed my house key. "You have everything?" He asked closing the garage door behind him. "Yeah." I said putting the pin number for the garage door to close. I got into his truck and we went to his house. It was about an 10 minute drive. We talked the whole time. "So, I hear your going to New Zealand." I said. "Yeah. Wait.. your the other person?" He asked with excitement in his voice. "Yeah." I said with a smile on my face as we pulled into his driveway. I got out of the car and as we started to walk to the doorway he said, "Promise me this what ever happens nothing will brake us up or pull us apart." "Promise." I said sealing it with a kiss. I followed Ryan into his house and we found Casey and Tony playing pool. "I'm home." Ryan said.

Chapter 13

Its still as I remembered everything looked the same, everything was in the same place. I followed Ryan into where the pool table was. "Amanda?" Tony said. "Yeah." I said. "She’s staying the night." Ryan said. "Okay." Tony said watching Casey as he hit the ball. Ryan grabbed my hand and brought me to his room. "What would you like to do?" He asked as he walked into his closet and came out ready for bed. "I don't care." I said sitting on his couch in his room. "You look tired." He said sitting down next to me. "Yes. I am." I said yawning. "Let’s play a game." He said. "It depends. What kind of game are you thinking of?" I asked. "What’s your biggest secret?" He asked. "To tell you the truth, I really don't have a big secret. I tell you everthing." I said. "Thats true." He said. "I know what really happened with your dad and that your not a virgin anymore." He said. "Exactly." I said. There was a moment of silence and he was staring at something, but I couldn't tell. "What are you staring at?" I asked. He picked up my hand and said, "You still have the bracelet." "Yeah, the only time i have to take it off is during cheerleading, but i wear it as a anklet so you can't see. It became my good luck charm." I said. He gave me a kiss. "Are you excited about New Zealand?" I asked. "Yeah. It should be fun."he said. We talked for until midnight thats when I started to yawn more often. "I'll be right back." He said and left his room and went upstairs. Right after that I fell asleep on the couch.

Ryan's POV
I went upstairs to grab a glass of water and brought one down to Amanda. When I got back she was already asleep on the couch. I picked her up and brought her to the bed. I layed her down and then put the covers over her and put her phone on the bed side table. Then I went to the other side of the bed and fell asleep.

My POV
That morning I woke up to my phone going off. It was my dad I decided to let it ring and go to voicemail. When I heard the beep saying I had a voicemail I picked it up. It said: "Hey Amanda I just wanted to say happy birthday and tell you that I'm moving up to San Clemente to be closer to you and Michael and that includes your stepmother." Just great the women that threaten to ruin all my relationships. Atleast I will be in New Zealand for a month. Then I got another call. "Hello." I said. "Hey, this is TJ Lavin, from the Duel II." He said. "Yes, I know. We leave Thursday right?" I said while glancing at the clock and it said 9:33. I decided to go upstairs. "Not exactly." He said and continued," MTV didn't approve of it." I walked out of his room and up the stairs. "Okay, i understand it was just an idea." I said. "Exactly, thank you for understanding. Please also to tell Ryan." He said. "Will do. Have a nice day." I said and hung up the phone. I got to the top of the stairs and heard Tony talking from the kitchen and decided to go to the kitchen. "Look who woke up." Tony said. "I usually don't wake up until 10:30." I said. "Then what are you doing up?" Tony asked. "My phone." I said. I walked up to Ryan and gavve him hug. "Happy Birthday." He said. "Thanks. I completely forgot." I said. "Oh, and by the way we are not going to New Zealand, because MTV didn't approve of something." I continued. "Gotcha." Ryan said. My phone started ringing Hollaback Boy by Cobra Starship and I knew it was Savannah. "Savannah?" I said answering my phone."I wanna play pool." She said. "Okay, you have a pool table at your house. You do know that right?" I said and Ryan, Casey, and Tony starting laughing. "Yes I do know, but I dont want to play pool at my house." She said. "Savannah, where do you want to play pool at then?" I asked laughing. "At a house but not mine." She said in a serious tone. By this time i was laughing. "Name a house." I said. "Your's." She said. "I'm not home, but you can go to my house." I said. "I don't know how i'm going to get there." She said all upset. "Savannah you drive." I said. "I know, but I might of did something to my driver's licenses, like lose it." She said. "Your just a bundle of joy." I said. "BUT YOU LOVE ME!" she screamed into the phone. "Yes, I do love you." I said. "I just got an e-mail on Facebook and we have a surprise contioning practice today at 3." She said. "Your kidding right." I asked. "Nope. World's is coming and we are going to be in Cancun." She said. "We'll I got to go. I'm going to get my driver's licenses today." I said. "Have fun and Happy Birthday." She said. "Thanks. Bye." I said hanging up my phone and putting it on the island. "Why exactly don't you have your driver licenses?" Casey asked. "We'll I got my learns permit 2 months ago. When I spent 72 hours of driving I went back to get my license and they said I was allowed because i had to wait until I was offically 17 because I moved here... 5 years ago. So I go today." I said. "Then you have a car?" Tony asked. "Yeah, a white Range Rover." I said. "Nice." Ryan said. "Yupp." I said. "So what are you going to do for your birthday?" Tony asked. "Cheerleading." I said. "Thats no fun." He said. "We'll we are going to Cancun in a week for World's." I said. "Party?" Ryan asked. "Exactly." I said. I looked at the wall clock and saw that it was already 10:30. My phone started ringing again. This time it was my mom. "Mom?" I asked. "I'm outside waiting for you to take you to get my driver licenses." SHe said. "Okay I'll be right there." I said. "My mom is outside waiting for me." I continued. "I'll walk you out." Ryan said. I walked downstairs and grabbed all my other stuff, "Have fun at cheerleading." He said. "Thanks, but it's going to be hard." I said walking up the stairs. I gave him a kiss and then walked to my mom's car. Off to get my driver's licenses.

 Chapter 14

"How are you?" My mom asked me as I sat in the front seat of her car. "I'm good. I had fun." I said turning around to put my bag in the back of the Infiniti QX56 and in the back is Jessie and Kaitlyn. "AHHHHH!!!! OMG!!!! You scared me!" I said. THey just laughed. "We came for support!" Jessie said excitedly. "Awwhh, thank guys." I said. "Watch out I'm coming back." I continued as my mom pulled out. I gave them both a hug. "Hows soccer pre-season like so far?" I asked. "Well, coach Ref totally understand why you aren't there. Catching up on your homework from junior year. All she wants you to do is make the week before school starts. Today is July 1st so the week of August 17th school starts the 26th." Kaitlyn said. "Okay. thats good and please don't even remind me about the homework from junior year." I said. "Please telling you are working on some of it?" My mom asked. "Uhhh... lets go with that." I said. "Ximena!! (you pronounce it like this Zimena)(my first name, but go by my middle name Amanda since that is an american name. Ximena is Bosnian.)" My mom said. "I'm sorry mom! I've been working with cheerleading lately and it been hard! Worlds are in about a weeek! Plus i have a contest in 2 says for motorcross freestyle and racing." I said. My mom started talking in Bosnian. I replied in Bosnian too. "What are you saying?" Jessie whispered. "I'll tell you later." I whispered. "lets this drop it." My mom said and she turned the radio up. A couple minutes later we where there. I hopped out of the back and headed in. I had all my paper work and everything. Jessie and Kaitlyn came in with me and sat while i took my test and an hour i was back holding my driver licenses. "I got it." I said. They both clapped. "Thank you. Thank you very much." I said. "They're paparazzi outside." Kaitlyn said. "Firgures. My mom is still outside. Lets go back to my house. Ignore what the paparazzi say. " I said. We walked outside and paparazzi came out of no where asking.." We have a new driver on the road." So is it true, you and Rysn Sheckler?" Amanda we need info." I put my sunglasses on and i looked to make sure Kaitlyn and Jessie were coming and they were. When we got to the car I made sure they go in first and then i did, closed the door and the first thing that came out of there mouth,"You are Ryan Sheckler?!?!?!?" I justed laughed and i said with a smile on my face, "Yes." My phone went off and it was Ryan. He sent me a text: how did ur drivers test go? i texted back: i got it. he texted: great! what r u doing tonight? i texted: going home right now to get my cheerleading stuff. i should be back by 4. he texted: ok. do u want to go to dinner with me tonight? i texted: sure. he texted: great. i'll pick u up at 7 i texted: okay. see u then. "Mom I'm going out tonight with Ryan." I said. "Sounds good to me." She said. We took pictures in the car and about 15 minutes later we were back home. We all got out of the car and Jessie and Kaitlyn had soccer and i had to get ready for cheerleading. I went to my room got all the gear ready and my practice uniform on. I grabbed a bottle of water and a vitamin water before i left. "Mom?" I asked. "Yes?" She said from the living room. I walked to the living room "I'm going to cheerleading." I said. "Make sure you put on all your braces on." She said. "Got them all in the car." I said. "Range Rover?" She asked. "Yes, mom. I can drive now." I said with a giant smile on my face. "Alright. I'll see you later. Love you." She said. "Love you too." I said walking to the garage. I got in my car and went to cheerleading. When i got to cheerleading, everybody saw me come out of my car with all my gear. "Looks like somebody got there drivers license!" Savannah came run out to me and giving me a hug. "YES!" i said. I walked inside and Coach Angel and Coach Selena were standing there. "Girls, gather around." Coach Angel said. "Worlds are in 1 week. We have practice all this week. Its going to be hard. We did change the routine a little but not much. We mostly changed the elavators and what you do in it. WE need to put alot of effort in it. Lets go." It was 1:30 right now. and we were going to be there for about 2 hours. It took forever those 2 hours. During brakes we took pictures and fooled around on the floor mats. When i got home it was about 3:30. I went to go eat something. Then the shower, and then i relaxed and then it was timing to get ready for dinner with Ryan.
