My alarm goes off at 5:30 like most days and I quickly get up and changed before going down to the gym and working out until 7ish.

When I walked into the kitchen Grandma was drinking tea while reading the newspaper. 

"You're up early" I say making myself a drink

"I could say the same for you, last time I saw you, you slept until noon" she said laughing

"I get up at 5:30 most days" I say shrugging

"What have you been doing for all this time?"

"I go to the gym and then I have a shower and get ready, by the time I'm done with that Josh is usually up if not I go wake him up, we have breakfast and then I get him ready and take him to school before going to college or work" I explain

"You leave him here alone while you go to the gym" she said looking horrified

"No, no well yes but the gym is in the house" relief washes over her face after I say that

"You know I still haven't had a tour" she said putting her mug in the dishwasher

"How about I give you one right now" she nodds and I put my glass down on the counter

"So as you can see this is the dinning room slash kitchen area" I started to say as she laughed at me.

--

When I was done I quickly went to shower and get ready but I didn't put any make up on and I just put my hair up in a high pony tail because I was going to work today and they do all that stuff there.

"Josh its time to get up" I said shaking him lightly but he didn't move

"Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh!" I shouted still nothing so I started tickling him and he burst out laughing.

"You were awake the whole time you little rascal" I pick him up and put him over my shoulder making him giggle which I actually think is the cutest thing in the world.

I gave him some poptarts after I had toasted them and then sat down opposite him. "You are going to Lisa's after school and I will pick you up from school tomorrow okay?"

"Yay lisa has a trampoline" he cheared causing me to laugh

"You should be excited tobsee her, your future wife not a trampoline" I say

"Ava" he said giving me a sassy look, I couldn't help but start laughing again

"You know I'm only joking" I say with my hands up

"Bye I'm going to pack" he said running off  I followed him because he would probably end up with a top no pants and some pyjama bottoms to wear tomorrow.

Once I had packed his bag and got him ready for school we headed off after saying goodbye to Grandma.

I strapped him in and we were off. "Jack is coming over tomorrow" I say breaking the silence.

"Yay! We haven't seen him in ages" he said smiling

"He is going away for awhile so he is stopping by to say goodbye" I tell him, I am happy for both the Jacks I'm just going to miss them a lot, before I used to look forward to their tours because it meant I could see them again but this time its different. I guess it won't be so bad now I have contact with Nash and Cameron again but I kind of feel awkward around them.

"Where is he going?"

"Him and Jack have a tour so we can go see them sing when they stop in Cali" I tell him and he nods. We arrive at his school and I park my car before getting out and helping Josh out.

I see Lisa's mum and she takes Josh's bag so he doesn't forget it later and then I say goodbye and tell him to be good before kissing his cheek and going to work.

When I arrived they told me I would be working with a male model which wasn't something new it just didn't happen all the time.

They took me to do my hair and makeup, it was yellow and black eye makeup with yellow lipstick, they also put blue contact lenses in because they complimented the makeup better than my boring old brown eyes.

It was not your everyday make up but at photo shoots nothing is not eye catching.

I met the guy I was modeling with and Jesus Christ did he have a good body, his hair was short and brown and his jaw line was so perfect I didn't believe it was real. I make a rule with all the guys I work with, never look into their eyes.

With most of them being as perfect as this one if I look into their eyes then I might never be able to think straight again.

"Hey I'm Ava" I say introducing myself, I look in between his eye brows as I say this, it gives the illusion I'm looking at them but really I'm not.

"You probably already know who I am" he says cockily, what a dick

"Well I'm sorry but I think you have got a bit too big for your boots because I have no idea who the fuck you are" I say in a snooty voice before turning around to walk away but he grabbed my arm and span me back around

"You really don't know who I am?" He asked in a more friendly voice

"No sorry" I said shaking my head

"Well I'm Ben" he says extending his hand which I shake

"Nice to meet you Ben"

"Nice to meet you too Ava" he says smiling

--

A few hours later and we had finished the shoot, me and Ben had exchanged numbers not for a date or anything but we got along well so we decided to stay in touch as friends.

"Hey do you want to hang out now?" He asked me once he had changed

"Yeah sure, you can come to mine if you want and we can go swimming or something" I say 

"Sounds fun but I don't have any swimming shorts" he told me

"I have some don't worry" Jack had a couple of pairs at mine and he wouldn't mind my friend using them on fact I have a new pair that I brought but I didn't give to him yet.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, do you have a car?" I ask as we leave the building

"Yeah its there" he said pointing at a charcoal jeep

"We have the same car" I say laughing at how ironic it is

"Really?" He questions as I walk to my jeep

"Yep" I say unlocking mine and getting in

"I will just follow behind you" he says as I nod in aproval
