Ever Arnolds; how my life got completely flipped upside down.

2 days

**jared up above**
I was jumping out of my skin in excitement. All my peeps from home would be showing up in a couple minutes.

Also, I mean, we are doing a huge concert. In two days.

My songs were:
Solo:
The Rose
Chandelier
Group number:
Seasons of Love
Don't Stop Believing
Duets:
Jared: Hero
Linsey: Little Red Corvette
Ray: I'm a believer

It was a lot of songs to learn, but all of them sounded amazing.

Currently Linsey was editing another video and me and Jared were playing clue, which wasn't as fun with two people as three. Ray was in rehearsals. I didn't like him, but when he wasn't being a Pissy self confident bastard, we did have fun with him. I don't know if I would keep in contact with him when this was over but for the time being, I was glad to say I met him. He truly was talented below all of his conceitedness.

The buzzer rang and Jared went to the intercom. I listened.

"This is the residence of Linsey and Ever."

"Hello, Jared," Katie said, "there is a group of people down here saying they want to see Ever. Should I let them up."

"could you give me ages?"

"Yes, one nineteen year old boy, four nineteen year old girls and two teenage kids. A boy and a girl," I shook my head violently.

"You can let them up," he said winking. Once he let go of the intercom button I stood up and started jumping up and down.

"Oh my god I've missed them so much!" I yelled. Soon there was a knock on the door. I ran and yanked it open.

"Ever!" Everyone said simultaneously. I was wrapped in a large hug.

"Oh my god, Wynter and August?" I said. I didn't know my family was coming.

"Yeah, Maura called mom and asked if any of us wanted to come. No one else could come early, though mom said that they would try to come for the concert."

"Yes it is finally up!" I heard Linsey yell from behind me I turned around and saw her covering her mouth.

"Oh yeah, guys, this is Linsey Gray and Jared Sampson, Linsey and Jared, this is Maura, Bay, Kira, Sara, Adam, Wynter, and August." Everyone said their hellos.

"Well it's late and we were gonna go get some food, would any of you like to come? We need some tour leaders, as Kira is going home," Bay said. I looked at the other two.

"Me and Jared need to rehearse some more on our song. And I haven't rehearsed with Ray much, but I think we are all set with Linsey," I said, "you wanna take them to the restaurant that Jared took us to?" I asked.

"Of course!" She said. She grabbed her coat and led the others outside.

To say that through the duration of the trip that I hadn't developed a small crush on Jared would be a lie.

Don't get me wrong, Callan will always mean something to me, but maybe Jared and I could work.

That thought right there was what led me to the biggest mistake of my life.

I wish I could stay that past this night I had still never drank any alcohol, but that would be a lie as well.

Yes, once me and Jared were done, Ray came in and offered us drinks because he would have to clear them out before he left. We wanted to celebrate a bit and might have over drank.

Not much, I wasn't super drunk or anything.

But maybe, well, buzzed. What can I say. It was exciting at the time.
