CHAPTER 2
"Do you know how rude you were back there?" My mom said to me as we pulled out.
"Do you know how rude it is to stop talking to your best friend?" I snapped. The rest of the ride home was silent. When we got home, I hopped out of the car and ran to my room. I pushed aside my furniture to make room in the middle. I put my iPod on shuffle and danced to whatever song came on. It was Turning Tables by Adele. I let the music take over and I danced.
When I finished I stood there taking in a few breaths. I heard clapping behind me. I spun around and saw my mom clapping.
"That was great hunny. You really are a wonderful dancer." I went over to hug her.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you." I apologized. My mom was honestly one of my best friends. I go to her for almost everything.
"It's alright sweetie. Now I need you to go to bed early because you have early dance tomorrow." I said goodnight to my mom and got dressed for bed.
THE NEXT MORNING AFTER DANCE.
I walked out of the dance studio with one of my best friends, Joe.
Joe was my male dance partner. We were really close friend-wise. Though I think he might like me a little more than friends but he also knows about Cody so doesn’t try anything.
We were chatting about our practice. I looked out in to the parking lot and saw my mom. I quickly said goodbye to Joe and ran to the car.
"Hey Kaylee! How was dance?" I opened my mouth to reply but she quickly cut me off. "Look, I need a favor. Can you watch the twins and Tom tomorrow? I already said yes. Oh! And Alli and Cody will be there also. So really, it's all the kids in one house not letting it burn down while the parents go out to catch up. And! Tonight we are going to Cody's concert so bring Arabella!"
I stared at my mom in disbelief. "What? It has been a long time since I have actually had a social life! I was busy with work and the three of you!"
“Fine. But Ara is sleeping over tomorrow. So I won’t be alone.” My mom nodded her head in agreement that Ara could sleep over. I pulled out my phone and called Bella.
Phone Conversation:
Kaylee (K): Hey Ara! How close are your Cody tickets for tonight?
Arabella (A): Like the last section. Why?
K: I have an upgrade for you if you would like.
A: How much of an upgrade?
K: Front row and spending tomorrow night with the twins, Simpson kids and me.
I waited for her to respond but after a bit I looked down at my phone and saw she ended the call. I frowned and quickly called her back.
Phone Conversation
K: What happened?
A: I… Oh. My. God. I love you. LOVE. You. I… I just… can’t. You got front row and… oh my god.
K: I’ll take that as you’ll be there?
A: I’ll be at your house in 5.
And she hung up. Again. My mom pulled up and I got out of the car waiting outside for Ara. I looked over at Cody’s house and saw them getting in the car. Cody looked over as he was getting in and when he saw me, he started to get out and walk towards me. Just to my luck, Ara walked up to me. She lived a few houses down from me. Cody saw Ara and retreated. Arabella looked over at him and let out a sequel.
“Oh my god. That’s him! Ahhh!” Cody smiled and waved at us before getting in the car again. Soon I was pulled into the house and up into my room. “We have to get ready. Like NOW.” She ran into my closet.
“We don’t have to get ready now! It’s only 11!”
“We have to get there early! Maybe we can meet him!” I stared at Bella, giving her the ‘are-you-kidding’ look. “What?”
“I live next door to him. And we are watching the young ones tomorrow with him. I don’t think we have to get there early."
"Right... Well we should still pick out our outfits!" She ran into my closet again. She came out with this: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=69018439
Lucky we were the same size in everything. I nodded my head in approval. I wanted to look good for Cody. Wait. Did I just say that? Forget that I just said that. I don't like him. He broke my heart and ignored me for 5 years. I can't like him.
....Anyway, I suggested we go play Just Dance on the Wii but Bella wanted to go sun tanning on the beach. I couldn't say no to my little Bell so I agreed. We put on our swimsuits () and walked out towards the beach. Yeah, that's right. I have a house on the beach.
Ara brought her iPod and put on One Direction. Heart Attack came on and we laid there rocking out to One Direction. I packed us some sandwiches and other snacks so we ate those.
Soon enough, 3 rolled around and it was time to get back and get ready. Ara pulled me up to my room and did my makeup and hair. We switched and I did hers. We slipped on our clothes and walked downstairs. The twins were by the door, Jake looking bored and Sophia excited, seeing this was her first concert. My mom came down soon after and we left.
On the way to the stadium, Sophia and Arabella insisted we listen to Cody to 'get in the mood' for the concert or something like that. So now "Angel" is being blasted through the speakers. I slightly tapped my hand to the beat of the song.
"Oh my god. Kay. What if he pulls you or me up on stage and sings this to one of us. Oh my god I would freak out."
"Arabella! I would too! And we have a better chance! Oh my god!" Sophia and Ara were sent into a fit of squeals and giggles. Jake and I rolled my eyes.
We pulled up to the stadium and hopped out. We were late because of traffic so we quickly got in the stadium and found our seats. One of the opening acts had already gone and the second was coming out soon.
Our seats were literally the first row. Like, if I reached my hand out, I could touch the bodyguard guarding the stage. But I'm not going to do that. The second act came and went and now all we had to do was wait. A big timer was above the stage was counting down. It read 4 minutes.
I looked over at the many fans that came to see him. He came along way in just 5 years. From just posting videos of him singing with his best friend in the background to having his own fans and concerts, it was crazy. And I was a part of helping him get here. Kind of makes me feel special.
Arabella shook my arm and was having a mental breakdown. She pointed at the clock and it said 1 minute. Girls around me started chanting down. I have to say, I was a little exited myself. I haven't seen Cody do his job, do what he loved, until now.
"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1!!" The chant ended and screams erupted around me. I looked up at the stage and Cody came out of a little hole in the ground. (That sounded funny;)). He went through the first half of his songs. Soon, the part where Cody chose a fan to be his Angel came up.
"So, I would like to bring one special fan up onstage with me. Humm.. I wonder who it will be..." He trailed off looking in the crowd. Every girl went wild. Someone ran up and put two stools down behind Cody. After quickly scanning the crowd, he looked towards Ara. Well I hopped it was Ara. He put his guitar down then walked towards the edge of the stage and jumped down. The fans screamed louder, if that was even possible. He walked towards us. He stood in front of me and held his hand out.
