   ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

   "Audrey! Wait up!" Alex shouted from behind me. I turned around and laughed. Alex was waving his arms frantically and running to catch up with me.

   "I looked around for you, but I couldn't find you. It hit me, I was supposed to walk home with him.

   "Oh I'm sorry I forgot about the walking home thing. I just felt a little sick today."

   "Are you okay?" his face was filled with concern. I smiled.

   "I'm fine now. Thanks for asking."

   We stood there for a minute just smiling at each other.

   "I told you. It's like she knows exactly where I live. She doesn't even live near me but she always goes this way towards my house," Austin whispered to Louise as they walked past us. My mouth gaped open. Wow, Austin, just wow.

   "What was that about?" Alex asked me and gave me a questioning look.

   "I'll tell you later," I mumbled.

   "Did I miss something at lunch?" he asked me. He looked really worried.

   "Let's go to my house first. Then we'll talk." I whispered to him and turned around.

   "Do you live far?" he asked me.

   "I live right across the street," I pointed to my house.

   "Isn't that where Austin lives? Why did he say that-?"

   "I don't know. I'll explain everything in a few minutes."

   We crossed the street and walked up my porch.

   "This is your house?"

   "Ya."

   I got the key from under the carpet and unlocked the door. I walked in and took my shoes off. A note was on the living room table. I walked over to it and read it.

Hi honey,

This is probably unexpected but I got a job in Hawaii. And I am going to stay here for longer than just a month. Maybe a year at the least. I am really sorry. You know where the money is and call me everyday.

Love you,

Dad

   "What's that?" Alex asked over my shoulder. I quickly hid it in my pocket.

   "Nothing," I saved.

   He nodded getting the message.

   "So can I see your room?" he asked me. I nodded and led him upstairs. We walked into my room and he gasped.

   "Too much Bieber," he muttered under his breath. I laughed.

   "I heard that."

   "You were meant to."

   All I need is a Beauty and a Beat-

   "Hello?" I answered into the phone.

   "Hi Audrey, um this Dad. I just wanted to let you know I'm really sorry about this whole job thing. I will see what they have to offer, and I will see if I will accept the job offer or not. It could get us a lot of money because ever since your mom and son have died we have been going poor and if I don't get a higher paying job, we will have to sell the house. I gave to go now. Love you, bye."
