I quickly shot up from my seat as I heard the long-awaited yet ear piercing sound of the final bell at our school. The day was finally over.

Grabbing my bag and books, I pulled out my phone and couldn't help but smile as I saw Nathan's text. It had been three months since I left my boyfriend at the airport and I was still shocked at how I was standing here at school with a silly grin instead of hiding in my room and acting like Gollum. Of course I missed him like crazy, but it wasn't that bad; we managed to video chat everyday and were texting non-stop. I had gotten my phone confiscated quite a few times at school because of this, so I had cut down the texting in class. Also Tyler had threatened to ground me after getting a call home. When I told him I'd love nothing more than to be locked in my room all day, he didn't have anything to say.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop texting in the middle of the hall."

I looked up from my phone after hitting send to see Jess standing in front of me with a disapproving look. I think she was still mad from yesterday when I had accidentally crashed into her, causing her to topple forward and nearly fall into a trash can...

"I'm becoming better at it, don't worry." I quickly reassured her, before making my way to my locker with her in tow.

"So are we still going to the mall?" I asked Jess as I popped open my locker.

"Yep, Landon said he'll drive us." Jess nodded, taking out her phone now.

Yes that's right. We were going to the mall. The same mall where I had met the boy of my dreams and also the mall where I had been held at gunpoint with an empty gun. That mall held many memories...

Speaking of that incident, the police had many questions for me and I had simply told them that the kidnapper was one of Ryland's men and that there were multiple guys who helped out. I also told them that I was too shaken up to come in and try to identify the kidnapper for separate charges and they surprisingly didn't push it. I had even given my initial kidnapper's details as the opposite of Nathan's, making sure to diminish any chance of him getting caught. But they had captured Ryland and his minions when they broke into that building three months ago and busted every single one of them and freed all the children. Well, they actually put them all into therapy sessions since they were all mentally and physically damaged, but from what Max was telling me, they were all making progress. Including Hana.

"Ready?" Jess asked as I put all my textbooks and binders in my bag. When I had gotten back to school, the teachers had all encouraged me to take a few days off because of my incident, but I had reassured them that I was fine and that all I wanted was to finish all my studies and graduate. I had also spoken to the counselor and we adjusted my courses so that I could graduate earlier. Since we had a semester system, I switched all my electives for my academic courses that really counted for college and towards credits so that as the semester ended, I would be done. I wasn't the only one who had done this. A lot of other students were doing the same and graduating before spring break, including Landon.

News around the school had finally died down about me being kidnapped, and I was finally able to go about my days without being approached from strangers or fake friends wanting to know my story. I think it helped when Landon had threatened the entire school in the cafeteria one day that if one more person would approach me about it, he'd make sure they'd regret it for the rest of their high-school life.

"Yes ma'am." I said as I slammed my locker shut and turned to face Jess.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I might just steal your away from your beloved." Jess winked.

"Oh darling, only in my wildest fantasies." I fawned, before the both of us burst out laughing.

I was really grateful having Jess around me. She was the only female friend I had and it was much needed after having spent so long around pure stupid testosterone. She made me happy and I knew I could talk to her about anything.

We made our way out of the school and towards the parking lot now, where we spotted Landon standing in front of his flashy car, talking to Ella. The two had been dating for a month now and I actually really liked the girl. She was from England and had short blonde hair and rosy cheeks, looking cute, yet her personality was anything but. She was just as crazy as Landon.

"You guys are finally here! Let's go Landon!" Ella jumped in excitement as we reached them, before grabbing his arm and trying to shove him in the driver's seat.

Jess and I chuckled as we took the back seat.

"Calm down you crazy brit!" Landon yelled, shoving her away and sitting in his seat. Ella frowned at him, before turning to walk around the car. But before she could step away, Landon reached over his convertible and grabbed her waist, pulling her in the car as she giggled and protested.

Jess and I exchanged glances, before shaking our heads.

I had a feeling these two would last forever. She really made Landon happy and he deserved that. I was happy for them both.

"Alright you two, don't start making out. We have to go to the mall and then I need to get home before five." I reminded them.

Ella blushed slightly, before climbing into the passenger seat as Landon turned to her. "She's just mad because her boyfriend isn't here to do these types of things." He explained.

I glared at him as all three of my friends started laughing at me as I sulked. Whatever, I still got to see his face over video chat daily.

Landon finally pulled out of the parking lot and headed towards the mall. I pulled out my phone as I felt it vibrate and grinned when I saw a text from the guy who I was now physically missing because of my three wonderful friends.

N - Do you want to see the most beautiful thing in Europe?

I frowned at my phone. He would sometimes send me beautiful scenery in Europe, other times he'd send me pictures of weird random people.

S - I swear if it's another pic of some old crackhead, no video chat tonight.

I hit send and got a reply almost instantly. I quickly opened it up to see it was a picture. I clicked it and waited for it to load. I burst out laughing to see he had taken a picture of himself with his face scrunched up in a cute way.

S - You just called yourself beautiful..

Usually I was the one who called him beautiful and he hated that.

N - Well you're not here to call me beautiful so I thought I'd do it myself :P

I grinned at his reply.

S - Don't worry, soon as you get back I'll make sure to call you beautiful enough times to make you feel like a princess ;)

I smiled and looked out to see that we were already at the mall and Landon was just parking.

"Alright let's get some beautiful dresses!" Jess exclaimed in excitement before everyone got out. I shook my head before getting out and catching up to my friends who were already at the entrance.

Since Spring Break was only a week away and my graduation was a few days before it, Jess had insisted we needed to get dresses. Landon surely wouldn't have come had it not been for Ella. He finally knew what it was like to be in love, although neither of the two had said the word yet.

I took my phone out from my pocket as I felt it vibrate again. Pulling the door to the mall entrance open, I stepped in and read his message.

N - No thank you, that's my job -_- now you send me a picture of the most beautiful thing back home.

I chuckled at his reply.

S - Well I'm at the mall so there's nothing too beautiful here...

I looked up from my phone to see that my friends were nowhere to be seen. I sighed, before realizing what this meant. A grin slowly crept it's way to my face.

Quickly walking over to Orange Julius, I ordered myself my signature strawberry shake and paid for it, before walking over to a bench and sitting down on it, getting comfortable. Now that my friends were gone, I could just hang out here and text Nathan while they spent hours picking dresses. I'm sure Ella and Jess would get mad once they found me here and Landon would probably get mad at me too... for not inviting him to join me.

I opened up his reply while taking a sip from my delicious smoothie.

N - That same mall where we first met? I bet you're imagining me there now ;) and I meant take a picture of yourself silly.

I grinned at his reply and compliment.

S - I am imagining you here... I'm imagining you covered in strawberry smoothie, cursing and all flustered as I kick you in the shins ;)

I hit send, before opening up the camera app and facing the camera towards me. I held up my smoothie next to my face, before closing my eyes and sticking my tongue out. I quickly took the picture before people could start to judge me and sent it to him.

And then my phone started ringing. I got excited thinking that Nathan was calling but frowned once I saw it was Jess' number.

"Yes?" I asked picking up.

"Where the hell are you!?" She screamed down the phone, causing me to pull it away from me as I winced.

"Oh you finally noticed!" I squealed, feigning happiness.

I heard her sigh. "Skylar get your butt up from wherever you are and get over here." She commanded.

I sighed. "But I don't even need a dress! The actual graduation ceremony isn't until June. And as for the Spring Dance, you know I don't want to go." I complained to her. Although I was graduating early and was getting my diploma before most people, I still had to attend the actual ceremony.

"Fine. But at least buy one dress. You can wear it to both events but you're going to the Spring Dance." She said in a tone of finality.

I sighed. So demanding. I guess I could go. I already felt bad for blowing off a lot of plans with Jess and Landon just so that I could spend more time with Nathan. I still hung out with them a lot, it's just that some days I wanted to spend in bed video chatting him all day. We tended to have a lot of those days where he'd be laying in bed too, not wanting to go anywhere and we'd just talk with each other.

"Fine. Where are you guys?" I asked her, sipping my smoothie with a slight pout.

"Where do you think?" Jess asked with a hint of humor in her tone.

I sighed. "I'm coming." I replied, before ending the call and getting up. As soon as I exited the phone app, I got a notification from Nathan. Quickly opening up the text, I couldn't stop a grin.

N - Damn I miss that face. And don't tell me that's a strawberry smoothie -_-

I quickly typed a reply as I slowly made my way over to Abercrombie and Fitch.

S - What else would I get? Anyways, Jess is forcing me to buy a dress so I have to go :( I'll text you when I get home.

I entered the shop and went to the back where Jess and Ella would most likely be trying on dresses. My phone buzzed in my hand and I looked down.

N - Have fun ;) Don't buy anything too revealing. Love you :)

I shook my head at his reply.

S - Oh I was ready to go to this Spring Dance in my sweats since I don't see any point in trying to look good when you're not even here :P But I guess you'll just have to bear with a bunch of guys hitting on me since Jess will doll me up and I'll be all by myself... ;)

I chuckled at that and quickly sent it, before tucking my phone away and finally meeting a depressed looking Landon. He looked up from the bench in front of the fitting rooms as I walked in.

"Thank God you're finally here. Please, don't let them drag us to another store!" Landon pleaded, looking up at me as if I were his only hope.

"Landon, we've only been here for twenty minutes." I raised an eyebrow at him. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket but ignored it. It was no doubt Nathan freaking out. I had sent that text to rile him up, but I did feel kind of bad. He was already all the way in Europe and couldn't be here with me at this silly Spring Dance and I was bragging about being hit on by guys. Oh well, maybe this would encourage him to come back home... Evil, I know.

"I know, but it will soon turn into six hours with them." He shook his head as he glanced at the closed changing room doors.

"We could always ditch them and go home. I have some new DVDs and a new tub of ice-cream." I said quietly, looking at Landon with a small smirk.

He looked like he was about to jump up and hug me, but then the changing room door suddenly burst open as Ella stepped out in a beautiful dark blue dress.

"What do you guys think?" Ella asked unsure as she glanced down at herself. I turned to see Landon with his jaw on the ground and chuckled.

"I look ridiculous, don't I?" She frowned, looking up at us now.

"Ella shut your mouth. You look like a freaking princess! You need to buy it." I told her. And not because I just wanted them to hurry up and get home. She actually looked very stunning.

"You really think so?" Ella looked at me with an unsure smile, before turning to look in the mirror.

"You can't buy that dress." Landon said in a tone of finality, causing us both to turn to him.

"What? Why not? She looks like a goddess you idiot. I don't think there's a better dress for her." I said honestly, glaring at my best friend.

"I know. That's the exact reason why she can't buy it. Everyone's gonna be checking her out, I don't want to have to spend the night getting my knuckles all bloody." Landon shook his head at us.

I burst out laughing while Ella glared at him. "So you want me to show up in sweatpants looking like a potato?" Ella yelled at him.

That had been my plan before so I wouldn't mind if she joined me...

"Babe, you'd still look beautiful in your sweats." Landon said softly, coming up to her and grabbing her hand.

She quickly pulled it away and glared at him, not backing down. I tried hard not to laugh.

Then Jess decided to come out of the changing room with her hands full of dresses, now in her regular clothes.

"None of these stupid dresses look... Ella!" Jess shrieked, her jaw dropping as she noticed the stunning blue dress on her. It was a full length dress with one strap and a slit from the top of her right leg to the bottom that showed of her pale leg that contrasted well with the dress.

"Oh my gosh you look breathtaking!" Jess gushed at her, putting the discarded dresses to the side.

Ella slightly blushed and smiled back.

"But this idiot won't let her buy it." I said, pointing at Landon who looked at me with a frown.

"You're supposed to be on my side!" He protested.

"What? Why not?" Jess looked at Landon with a glare. "You can't tell me she doesn't look like a million bucks right now."

"She does! That's the problem!" Landon argued while Ella stood there looking like she was about to punch her boyfriend.

Jess seemed to understand what he meant, before rolling her eyes. "Calm down Romeo. She's your girlfriend, isn't that enough? You can't protect her from the whole male population." Jess stated.

"Yes I can." Landon grumbled back.

I sighed. It looked like we would be here for a while... I pulled out my phone and my eyes widened as I saw thirteen new messages from Nathan.

I bit my lip, before opening up the conversation as my three friends continued to bicker.

N - You can't be serious...

N - Skylar I don't want you to go to this dance.

N - Please try to understand, I can't have my beautiful girlfriend being eyed up like a piece of meat without me there to protect her!

N - Okay I'm sorry please don't be mad. It's totally up to you if you wanna go and I know you can defend yourself...

N - It's just that I prefer if you don't...

N - But I won't force you!

N - Skylar?

N - I know I'm a terrible boyfriend. I can't even be there as your date and here I am getting jealous and overprotective

N - I hope you're not too mad princess.

N - I love you...

N - And I miss you. I wish I could see that cute angry face right now...

N - Hope that didn't make you more mad.. Sorry!

N - Okay okay, I'll shut up now...

I instantly felt bad for sending that text and how it had gotten him so worked up. Deciding to settle and fix this over the phone, I stood up and attempted to tell my friends I'd be right back, but no one was paying attention to me. Sighing and shaking my head, I walked out of the store unnoticed and went to sit on a nearby bench, before dialing his number and waiting for him to pick up.

I grinned as he picked up on the third ring.

"Skylar hey!" He breathed out, his voice making my smile widen.

I chuckled. "Hello my overly attached boyfriend." I teased him as I heard silence on his end. "Thirteen messages? Really?"

"I can't help it okay! It's already bad enough that I can't see you but it's worse when you ignore my texts." He trailed off, sounding sheepish.

"I know, I was just teasing you." I explained with a giggle.

"You really like to torture me don't you?" Nathan sighed in defeat.

"Only because I love you." I replied with a grin. I silently wished I could see his face right now. "What time is it there?" I asked.

"Almost three in the afternoon." He replied, then I heard some shifting around.

"Are you still in bed?" I asked him suspiciously.

I heard a pause. "Yes." He answered finally, causing me to sigh.

"Nathan I swear to god if you come back here with fifty more pounds I will leave you in a gym until you get your hot abs back." I threatened, and just as I said that an old lady happened to be walking by. I shot her a small smile as she continued to stare at me with an odd look.

I heard a deep chuckle from his end and unconsciously smiled. God I missed that sound so much.

"That's a bit harsh don't you think?" He asked me teasingly.

"So was the way you handled me with a gun that day." I shot back quickly.

"Okay now you're really killing me." Nathan said in a flat tone, causing me to laugh.

"I know, I was secretly hoping it would encourage you to come back soon..." I trailed off honestly.

I heard a small pause from his end. "Skylar..." He trailed off.

I didn't realize why he couldn't come back now. It had been three months, that's enough time to be hiding away from the cops if you asked me. The case had already been closed weeks ago and no one was out looking for him.

"No it's fine. I just... really miss you. I'm sorry I shouldn't be pressuring you." I rushed out, before looking up to see Jess and Ella walking out of the store with triumphant smiles on their faces and a bag in Ella's hand while Landon trailed behind them sulking.

"Sky--" Nathan started but I cut him off. I couldn't talk to him any longer. It was hurting too much already. In the three months that he had been gone, every time I'd bring up or suggest him coming back, he would never answer my question directly or always found a change in topic.

"Look Nathan I have to go. I'll talk to you later." I said now, doing everything to make sure my voice didn't break.

"Skylar don't..." Nathan spoke, sounding pained too now.

"Love you." I whispered, afraid that my voice would give away my emotions right now. I quickly ended the call and put my phone away, wiping my eyes before looking up to see my three friends staring down at me now with serious expressions.

Landon looked at Jess and Ella, trying to tell them something with his eyes. They seemed to understand as they looked at me with small smiles, before turning and leaving only Landon and I now.

"What happened?" Landon asked softly, sitting down on the bench beside me now and turning to face me.

"I... It's Nathan." I managed to get out, before I felt the tears finally escape all at once.

Landon quickly took me in his arms and held me as I silently sobbed into his shirt. I didn't know how long we stayed like that but it felt like hours as I cried until there were no more tears left. I let out all the anger and pain I had been bottling up in these past three months. It felt good to finally break down and throw my hands up in surrender. And it felt even better to know that Landon was right here to hold me up as everything crashed down on me.

Wiping away what was left of my tears, I looked up to see Landon looking down at me with a mixture of anger and sadness in his eyes. But he quickly erased that expression and offered me a small smile instead. "Wanna go home?" He asked me softly.

"What about Jess and Ella?" I asked, wanting nothing more than to go home and hide away under my safe blanket. But I didn't want to ruin their day. They had come here to shop and have fun like the kids our age should be doing, and here I was bawling my eyes out like a big baby because I couldn't stop missing my boyfriend.

"Don't worry about them, they'll be here for hours. I already told them I'm taking you home. Ella's mom will pick them up." Landon explained.

I gave him a thankful smile, before nodding. I was so lucky to have Landon here. I don't know what I'd do without him, honestly.

"Let's go then." Landon smiled down at me, before standing up and pulling me up too. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked out of the mall and towards his car, giving me mental and physical support.

The ride home was spent in a peaceful silence. When we finally reached my home, I stepped out of the car as did Landon. He walked me up to my door and turned to me.

"Will you be fine on your own?" He asked me now.

I glanced at the driveway and saw Tyler's car. "Yeah, I should be." I answered, knowing that was a lie.

"I would stay with you but my parents want me home to help out with some things." Landon said with a sad smile.

I nodded weakly as I turned to ring the doorbell.

"I could always tell them I can't and stay if you want, I know you're not okay Sky." Landon said now as I turned to him again.

I couldn't help but smile at that, and this time it was genuine. "Landon, you've already done more than enough. I am so lucky to have you and I don't know how it would even be possible for me to be standing here smiling without your help." I said honestly. "And no I'm not okay, but I know I will be soon because I have you, Tyler and everyone else around me that I know will help keep me up."

Landon smiled down at me now. "Good. I'll come over later today then to see Max and the guys."

I nodded with a smile. Landon reached down and gave me a much needed hug, causing me to slightly relax. "Hang in there. You're the strongest girl I know and I don't want some idiot boy to break you down like this." He whispered in my ear.

I pulled away and looked up at him with a full smile now. "Thank you." I said softly, before turning as the door opened with Tyler standing there.

He looked between Landon and I, and somehow seemed to understand as he stepped out and took me in his arms, hugging me close.

I closed my eyes and sighed in content. I was too blessed to be stressed. I had these amazing people around me and I couldn't be more thankful enough.

Landon said goodbye, before turning and leaving, driving off in his flashy car. Tyler guided me back inside the house and sat me down on the sofa in the living room.

"I'll go grab the ice-cream, you pick a DVD." He said as he turned to go to the kitchen.

I grinned at him, before going over to the DVD rack and skimming my finger down the many labels. I stopped on one and grinned, before pulling it out. I popped open the case and inserted the disc.

Soon enough, I was settled in on the couch with my favorite blanket surrounding me and Tyler next to me, handing me a tub of my favorite ice-cream and a spoon, while he had his own tub of ice-cream and spoon. He picked up the remote and hit the play button, laughing once he saw the title of the movie pop up.

We continued to watch the animated Disney film we grew up watching and still laughing at all the funny parts, even though we had watched it enough times to know all the lines. And as the minutes passed by, I noticed that my spirits were getting higher and that large pang of pain was diminishing little by little. Although I still missed Nathan like crazy, I was able to put the thought of him to the side and enjoy this moment, because I had other people around me who I felt happy around.

* * * * * *

I sighed and pulled the covers up to my chin, turning to switch the small lamp on my night stand off but stopped when my phone buzzed. Reaching further over, I grabbed my phone and froze once I saw who it was from.

I had managed to ignore the thought of him all day with the help of Max, Jordan, Dustin, Tyler and Landon. Dustin and I had ended up baking cupcakes and had a small frosting war, which later led to a water fight, which later turned into a whole war between all of us. I was truly thankful for these guys around me, they really did make a difference.

I lay in my bed now, debating on opening the text. I wasn't sure if I could deal with it, but curiosity got the best of me and I found myself unlocking my phone and opening up the conversation between us.

N - I wish I could be there right now. I would catch the first plane back home and I have been struggling with this idea for the past three months. I would be there with you right now cheering you up and holding you in my arms. I would drop everything and come over there right now for you, trust me I would.. But something's holding me back. I would tell you but it's complicated.. I don't want you to worry any more for me than you already are. Skylar, I love you and I truly do miss you. Please don't be mad or upset, I can't stand to have the thought of you hurting because I'm not there.. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I don't know when I'll come back, but when I do, I'll make this all up to you. I love you.

By the time I finished reading his text message, I had tears in my eyes. I was shocked that he was still there for a reason, but it all made sense, why he wasn't back here yet. I was left confused and guilty, not understanding what could be keeping him away from me and feeling remorseful for making him feel like a total jerk when he was anything but.

Wiping my tears away, I dialed up his number and waited impatiently as I sat up in bed now. I didn't care if he was asleep or busy, this could not wait. He had said not to worry about him, and that had done nothing but make me worry even more.

He finally picked up on the last ring, his voice coming out tired. "Skylar?"

"Nathan, what's going on?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

I heard some shuffling around, and then the sound of a door closing. "What do you mean?" He asked innocently.

"I mean the text you sent me. It's complicated? Don't worry? Really? I don't care how messed up the situation is, I wanna know what's going on. What could possibly be holding you back from coming here?" I asked, gripping my phone tightly and listening intently.

I heard a sigh. "I can't... It's... My dad." He finally answered, his voice coming out sort of shaky.

I understood then. And I wished now more than ever to be with him to comfort him. He sounded so broken and tired. I remembered him telling me about how his dad left his family four months ago, that night where he had answered all my questions just for a kiss. That night seemed years ago but was only a few months ago.

"Nathan..." I trailed off, my voice melting into a soft tone.

I heard another long sigh from his end. "Listen, I have to go. I'm so sorry for not being there. Love you." He spoke softly.

"Wait!" I exclaimed, scared at the thought of him leaving so fast. "I... I don't want you to feel guilty about this..." I said honestly, running a hand through my hair. "It's not your fault. I understand and I'm sorry for trying to rush you. Take as much time as you need." I spoke, forcing my voice to come out strong. This was hard for the both of us.

There was a pause at his end. "Sky, you don't understand. I want to be there with you." He started.

"I know, and so do I. But I get that this is sort of a big thing." I cut him off.

"No, I'd rather be there than here. Trust me. I'm not here willingly. It's not a father son reunion or something." Nathan snapped, sounding frustrated now.

I bit my lip and waited silently. When he didn't say anything, I spoke up. "What's going on?" I repeated my earlier question, only this time I wanted the whole answer.

"I--" He started to say but suddenly stopped. I listened closely and could hear a faint voice in the back. "Look, I really need to go." Nathan spoke now, sounding rushed and slightly frustrated.

"Is that him?" I asked quietly.

His silence confirmed my theory.

"I love you." He spoke now, his voice soft.

"I love you too, and I'm right here for you. I don't want you to hold things back from me anymore, I can take it. It already sucks that I can't be there to comfort you." I said quickly, knowing he had to go.

"Okay, thank you." His voice was a soft breath. "Goodnight princess." He said now and I could hear the smile in his voice.

I suddenly felt a tear roll down my cheek. "Goodnight Nathan." I whispered, clutching the beautiful locket he had given me the day I left around my neck. I hadn't taken it off since that day, now it was basically a part of me. "Get home quick, I'm getting tired of waiting to know what's inside the locket." I couldn't help add.

I heard a sharp intake of breath from his end and could tell he was feeling the same emotions as I was. "Goodbye Sky." He spoke, his voice cracking at the end.

I closed my eyes and felt more tears escape my eyes. Then, I heard the sound of a door slam open, some shouting, and then the line went dead.

Putting my phone back on my nightstand, I curled up under the covers and switched off the light. Then, I cried myself to sleep. It all seemed so unfair. Hadn't we already been through so much? Would we ever be able to relax and be like a regular couple and do regular things like go out for ice-cream by the beach? The thought just squeezed at my heart more and I felt more tears escape as I sobbed into my pillow.

Now all I could do now was wait. I didn't know how long I'd have to wait but I grasped onto that last strand of hope. That everything would be alright. That my one true love would come back. That this pain in my chest would leave. The thought of holding Nathan again, seeing that beautiful smile, and kissing those luscious lips, somehow got me through the night, and would get me through the following days that it took for him to come back.

A/N

So this was unexpected.. For all of us :P I literally did not have this in mind but somehow this is what my hands ended up typing and this is what I got soo... dont hate me too much! Things do get better, have a little faith like Skylar :)

Ok so the last dare was super fun to read and there were some great ones out there but the winner is.................@Mc_lars_girl who said:

So I did the dare and I was out shopping with my mum. (I'm 13 btw) and she asked me to go get some cheese cause we forget the cheese and I was like. This is the perfect time to do the dare. So I go ask one of the employees to cheer me up and he gave me the most funniest face and he asked me what was wrong. And I said my pet rock died. He then squatted down. (He was like a giant) and said. How bout when your finished shopping when you go out to the parking lot you can get a brand new one and it will be the most awesomest and fantastic one you can find. How would you like that. And I was like. That is the bestest most nicest thing anyone has ever said. And then I walked back to my mum and she was like. Where's the cheese? I was like. Oh crap I forgot. So I go back to get it and then I saw the employee again and then he came up to me and was like. What a minute young lady I turn around and he was there and I was like. What did I do. He said. Team Landon or team Nathan. I was confused at first then my brain started working again and was like. Team Nathan. And he was like. Hell yeah. Then I got the cheese and walked off. And never saw him again.

No. Freaking. Way. I find this super hard to believe, and not because I don't trust you haha, but because I can't believe I have so many readers that they can recognize my dares AND that I have male readers.. :X ............... Wow. Im still in shock.. What is life..

ANYWAYS I have to go so THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO PATIENT AND KIND AND FOR BEING AMAZING READERS, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU :D ALSO I have many people who ask when's the end or if I'm gonna write a part two and I kind of answered this in one of the previous A/Ns, its just that people dont read them -__- But anyways after writing this chapter, I realized that one: there will most likely not be a second book, you will understand once it finishes, come on guys we still have more chapters to go and I can't drag it on forever so please try to understand :P and second: After writing this chapter I think there will be more chapters than I was expecting to write so the end is not as near as I thought it'd be :p NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT SETTLED, PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME AGAIN WHEN THIS BOOK WILL END OR IF IM GOING TO WRITE A SECOND PART, I MAY JUST BITE YOUR HEAD OFF. Thank you :) Love you :*

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! Vote, Comment, and the next dare is: Go up to a stranger and start dancing. Just burst into some random moves and there doesnt even have to be music playing! When they ask what in the world it is you are doing or protest, go "I'm showing the world my hella mad skills and I know you is jelly." TELL ME THE REACTIONS YOU GET :D ENJOY!
