Remember me?

Chapter one: Arriving!

Isabelle's Pov

“Is that them?” Daniel asked trailing his suitcase beside me. I nodded and speeded up my pace till I was running to Eddie, Amanda, and Anne.

“Hi!” I said launching myself on Eddie.

“Oh you gorgeous girl! I missed that face!” Eddie said whisking me up off the ground and holding me tight by the waist.

“Careful! Issy is made of porcelain!” Anne added in, while Eddie was spinning me around and around. When he did set me down I was so dizzy I actually fell into Anne.

“Careful there honey! Oh I missed you so much!” she said holding me close to her. I smiled and hugged her back.

“No Anne! I missed you! It has been to long!”

“Well now we have two weeks together!” Amanda chimed in. I let go of Anne hearing Amanda’s voice and ran into her. Amanda and I although having no scenes together bonded a lot! She plays older me and I always would ask for advice from her. She was like my older sister. Amanda actually knelt down to my level and kissed my cheek as she hugged the living out of me. Daniel was getting greetings as well and we both snickered as Eddie told us what good of babysitters the cast was going to be to us.

“I don’t need a babysitter! I am thirteen!” Daniel said as he loaded his suitcase into Amanda’s car.

“Well we saw you last when you were thirteen and you would cuddle me like a teddy bear and you would have the attention span on some days like someone who needs a babysitter!” Amanda smartly remarked.

“Well I mean Amanda! Your so pretty! I don’t see why I good chap wouldn’t get the chance to cuddle with you if your allowing?!” Amanda blushed. “Back me up here Eddie? Oh right… you too are unofficially dating…” Daniel remarked.

“Man! Daniel is like a sass master now! Ha-ha Daniel we never were dating and we aren’t! she is my best friend though!” Eddie said from the front seat looking at Amanda as she drove with focus down the highway through traffic to her little house.

“Is anyone else at your house yet?” I asked changing the subject.

“Hugh and Russell! Oh my god! They are so psyched to see you two!” Anne added. Amanda and Eddie nodded.

“When do Sam, and Aaron get here?”

“Tonight hopefully!”

“I am so excited!” Amanda squealed drumming her hands on the wheel. Eddie laughed at her enthusiasm.

“Everyone have their clothes for the awards picked out?”

“Yeah I think so! But I might still need a necklace or something…” Anne said thinking hard. We all nodded. Soon we pulled up at Amanda’s nice white house and we all charged inside grabbing our bags. At the door I was greeted by Finn.

“Hey boy!” I said ruffling his hair and planting a kiss on his head. Daniel chuckled and petted her dog. We proceeded inside to the house with the same smell and feel of candles and flowers and other good things. A plate of cookies sat on the coffee table alongside a pair of socked feet. I found the face and ran over to hug Russell. “Hey sweet things!” he said pulling Daniel to the other side of him and putting down his book tablet. Eddie, Amanda, and Anne stood smiling at us.

“Ha-ha! We look like a second family!”

“We kind of are…”

I smiled and snuggled into the crock of Russell’s arm. I smiled up at him and over at Dan.

“Where is Hugh?” I asked realizing I was missing my fake father.

“Shower. Wanted to look all nice and fresh for his two favorite little stars!” Anne replied sinking into my favorite chair in Amanda’s house. It is a rather ginormous thing that is a dark blue. All her furniture is homey and cozy. I grabbed a cookie off the plate and gobbled it down. The water stopped and the bathroom door opened and out stepped a steamy looking wet Hugh. His hair was still dripping on his loose T-shirt as he ran over to me. Daniel and I sprung up to life and he ran to hug us. I collapsed my whole body into him. I smiled. I was safe in Hugh’s arms. He was like a father to me on and off set and he still acts like he is. All I wanted to do was just stay here with these lovely people. Daniel and unattached from him and let him study us.

“I can already tell you’re more brilliant than you were before!” he said causing me to blush.

“Leave it to Hugh to say something both amazing and inspirational…” Eddie added on. I rolled my eyes at Eddie and beamed at Hugh.

“Well we haven’t astounded you yet so I would keep that to yourself until we can break the barrier of that complement!” I replied. Hugh nodded and looked surprised.

“Challenge accepted?!” we laughed and wondered into the kitchen for some late lunch of salad and seafood pasta. I laughed with my friends about old memories and their stories. Soon enough we were all sitting around again. Anne was wedged between me and Hugh. Daniel was sitting next to Russell in arm chair talking about football. Errr…. I mean soccer, and Amanda and Eddie were sitting on the couch together laughing at old jokes and looking through old pictures. Not much has changed. Just then we heard a knock on the door. Everyone knew who it was and smiled. Amanda rushed to the door and sure enough it was Sam and Aaron.

“Ahh!!!!!! Oh I missed you guys so much!” she screamed looping both arms around them. They laughed and hugged her back. Amanda pulled back and looked at them, running her fingers through Sam's wavy hair and her hand across Aaron’s face. “Oh you beautiful people! I cannot stand it!” she shouted covering her eyes. We all laughed and got up to hug out friends. I held onto Daniel and we soon found our way to the two.

“Oh my gosh! My two best friends!” Aaron squealed. Whenever we are around Aaron he acts like a complete kid. It is adorable. Aaron pulled me close and Sam hugged Daniel.

“Switch kids!” Aaron said and literally kissed my forehead then tossed me over to Sam. I luckily ended up on my feet. Sam pulled me close and hugged me tight.

“Awe! I miss all of you so freaking much!” she replied looking at all of us as she held my face to her chest. I pulled away smiling. We got resettled and asked Sam and Aaron about their travels. They gave us a full description and ended the story with paying the cab fare.

“Oh so? Is everyone excited for the teen choice awards?!” Hugh asked.

“Oh my gosh yes! What could be better than a ton of teens asking for a picture with me and begging me for my shirt off…”

“If that shirt comes off I am flying back to London! You have children present Aaron!” Russell replied. Amanda reached over and hit his arm with her magazine.

“Nice house Amanda!” Aaron said trying to make up for what he said.

“Thanks! I keep forgetting you didn’t come when we came to L.A for a few days! Yeah I like it a lot! I hope the taxidermy animals don’t creep anyone out…” she said embarrassed.

“Nah they are great!” Aaron said looking at the animals. Amanda smiled and pulled Aaron by the arm to her couch. Sam had sat with Eddie and Daniel. Aaron obliged and sat closely with her and cuddled her like a baby.

“So back to the awards? Anne, Hugh, Amanda, Eddie? You excited?! Your nominated right?” they all nodded.

“Ha-ha Amanda and Eddie are meant to be. The romantic couple!” Anne said giggling. Both of them blushed. That night we had a salad for dinner and then went to straight to bed sense we were all tired. I slept with Anne, Sam, and Amanda, but really I could have slept with anyone. Eddie, Daniel, and Aaron took one room and Russell took one and Hugh took one. Then I fell asleep.
