Chapter 4 {The Party}

Phoenix's POV

I wake up and instantly look at the clock. 7:47 I better get ready, I grab my clothes and my iPod at head to my bathroom. I turn on my iPod and pick Becky G 'Break A Sweat'. Then I dressed. After that, I turn on my curling iron and wait for it to heat up. Then I put on some cover up and little bit of blush and some red lip gloss. After I'm done with that, I take my curling iron and curl my hair. Now I'm done with that, I take some lavender scented perfume and spray some on my neck and arms. Then I come out of my room and head downstairs. I turn on the tv and wait for Olivia and Emily to pick me up.

Finally after thirty minutes, I hear the door bell ring and I yell, "Bye I'm leaving!" My dad yells back, "Okay!" I open the door and walk towards Emily's car. I hop in the back seat with Olivia and find a boy. "Oh Phoenix this is Frank, he's my date." Says Emily. I smile at Frank and say, "Hi I'm Phoenix." He shakes my hand and says, "Nice to meet you." "So, if you're Emily's date, why are you in the back seat?" I ask trying not to seem rude. Emily answers, "I'm picking up Mason. You remember Mason, my brother right?" I nod "Yeah, and okay cool."

We arrive at the Bonjovie's Mansion and I look around in awe. "Pretty amazing isn't it, Grasshopper?" I turn around and find Sam smirking, "Shut up Sam, you probably had the same dumb look on your face when you saw it." I say laughing, Sam shrugs his shoulders and guides me inside. Wow, the inside is even more gorgeous then the outside.
"Good evening everyone." Says Mr Bonjovie, "Thank you so much for coming I hope you have a wonderful time! There is a buffet leading in kitchen, please help yourselves!" Olivia pulls my arm and says, "Come on! I'm famished!"
I follow her into the kitchen and grab a small salad. Emily picks a table and we all sit down and eat. Frank whispers something in Emily's ear and she blushes. "So are you guys dating?" I ask, Emily answers, "I told you that I was dating someone last week, remember? Haha." Oh yeah I completely forgot. Oops hehe. Everyone finishes eating and the DJ starts playing some music. "Come on Emily let's dance!" Says Frank as he and Emily get up to dance. "Guess it just you and me." Olivia says to me, until some cute guy comes up to her and asks her to dance. All by myself. Great! Everyone is dancing, even Elaina of course, she can't really dance hehehe. As I watch my friends dance to a slow song, I get a tap on the back.

"Wanna dance." Sam asks me, "Weren't you with Elaina?" I ask, "She ditched me for some old college boy." Wait a go Elaina! "Yeah, why not!" I say as I stand up and grab his hand. He leads me on the dance floor and puts both hands on my waist, and I wrap my hands around his neck. "So, What are you gonna do with your summer vacation?" I think to myself and answer, "I don't exactly know yet, how about you, what are you gonna do hahaha." Sam laughs and says, "I'm going up to California to visit my grandparents, but don't worry I'll keep in touch." I poke him and say, "You better!"
He laughs and whispers, "You're so cute when you're upset hehehe." I look at him blank faced and say, "What?" "Oh nothing!" He says rather quickly. "Phoenix do you remember, camp Sarina?" "Of course I do Sam hehehe it's where you and I bonded." I say remembering old times, "Remember when I said I thought girls were Ew...I don't think like that anymore..I guess what I'm trying to say is...I like you Phoenix a lot..not just as a friend, maybe a little more...I just didn't know how to tell you." Did he just 0_0 Ummmm okay. He starts leaning in towards my lips. It was SO awkward that I broke away from him and ran outside.

"Phoenix, wait! What's wrong don't you feel the same way?" He asked terrified of my answer to come. "I can't
think right now Sam, I'm just gonna sit in the car and think about it okay?" All of a sudden the ground started shaking and everyone inside started screaming, "It's an earthquake! Phoenix get out of there!" My feet we're shaking and the ground was cracking! The next thing I know the ground caves in and I'm falling. The last thing I remember is Sam calling my name before everything went black.

****************

Aww! Poor Sam! Sorry but I had too. It's the way the story goes. Even if she wouldn't have fallen, what do you think she would've said?
