-Jack's P.O.V-

I looked in the mirror one last time to double check how I looked. Today I was going to make Amanda fall for me. I wanted to be with her and I wanted her now because what if I become famous? She probably wouldn't like me anymore than she does now.

I grabbed my keys and ran down the stairs to my car. I got in but didn't start it. I was more nervous than I've ever been. Tonight was going to change a lot for me and her. I took a deep breath and started it. I drove over to her house. This should be fun.

I knocked on her door and held flowers. I knew her favorite because she told me her and her dad liked to smell them together.

She answered the door in a short summer dress. I figured tonight would be best because she had said she was going to a dinner tonight. I knew she would be dressed up.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came here to take you out." I smiled and she gave me a look I've never seen.

"Why?"

"Because I told you I would make you fall for me and I will make sure of it." She turned around and walked out of the door with me.

"You better make it quick."

We got into my car and drove to the lake. A lake isn't special but I had an idea.

We got there and everything was set up the way it should be. It was barely lit up  except for the few Christmas lights. I slowly reached out for her hand. She took it and gave me a warm smile. We walked to the boat that I had asked for. We got in the boat facing each other. Her eyes lit up with the lights and at this moment, she looked so gorgeous.

I waited for the music to start, and eventually it did. I asked for a little violin band to play and they stood at the edge of the lake while we were out around the middle. Her eyes got bigger as she looked to the shore.

"This is.. Beautiful."

"I see better" she looked back at me and I could see the passion in her eyes.

"Why would you want to do this all.. For me?"

"Because I told you that I liked you and that I would get you to fall for me. I meant it when I said it" she looked down and smiled.

"You look gorgeous" her face turned red.

"Thank you. You look good too"

It was silent for a couple of minutes but then she finally spoke "thank you"

"It's the least I could do. I really do like you and if you would be with me, that would make me the happiest."

She smiled and looked down "you shouldn't want to be with me" she let out a short laugh but continued to look down.

"Why not?"

"Because you have other girls that aren't messed up like me that want to be with you" her eyes suddenly got glossy and she wouldn't look me in the eyes.

"Amanda look at me" she looked up and a tear escaped her eyes "we all break down sometimes but that doesn't define who you are. What defines who you are is your personality and let me tell you that you have one hell of a personality" I held her face a wiped away a tear. It made my heart ache to see her so hurt but I wanted to fix that. I wanted to help her through the darkness.

She smiled and looked around again "I really like this setup."

"Thanks. I knew you'd like it."

"If you promise not to be a douche" she sighed "then I'll be your girlfriend" she playfully rolled her eyes. I knew she wanted to be with me. I smirked and did a little dance in my seat.

She grinned "I knew you would fall for me" she punched me in the arm.

I felt little rain droplets hitting my face and it felt like a movie. I had looked up the weather and it said it wouldn't rain. This is so ironic. She felt the same because she giggled.

I cupped her face and gently put my lips on hers. The rain had fallen more quickly and I could feel the butterflies hitting my stomach. I haven't felt this way about anyone in a long time. When I first saw her, she gave me butterflies, that's why I had decided to go up to her and dance. It was so different of me because I would never dance with a stranger, but she made me feel more confident.

I let go of her face and sat back. I grabbed the ores so we could get out of the rain. Her face was super bright. It was adorable.

Soon I drove her back to her house. She kissed me on the cheek and ran inside. I drove home and found my phone immediately. I saw that Johnson had called several times. I called him back

"Guess what"

"Yeah?" I waited him and told him all about our date.

"No way. That's insane but I mean congrats"

"Thanks. Why so many calls?"

"Oh yeah. You gotta see this. Look on vine and our other accounts."

I hit my home screen and went to our vine. We had over a million followers!

"Holy shit!! How'd that happen?"

"I don't know but this is crazy! They love us!"

I couldn't believe that we had so many fans and I couldn't believe my dreams would be coming true.

"We need to set up a few tours or something" he agreed and we talked for a while longer. We wanted to write a few more songs so we could actually go on tour. We decided to stay up day and night starting tomorrow with no interruptions.

Then I thought about Amanda
