(A/N: YES YES YES TODAY IS A SPECIAL DAY. TODAY 5 YEARS AGO I MET MY BEST FRIEND DOMINIQUE! yes 5 years of friendship. it feels like only yesterday, time flies when you're having fun. LOVE YOU. READ HER STORY: 'so far away', her username is 012345SOS.) 

@HeyHelloLisanne: new adventures come every day. some are just bigger than others. and it doesn't matter how much you're going to be judged, with a little bit of help from your friends it won't hurt.

I stare at the tweet before I send it. Yes this it just how I feel right now. Ready for this new adventure. A week. Gerald said a week to make a song and a videoclip. Yesterday there were 7 days left, so tday only 6. One of his friends is a songwriter and will be here in two hours to write a song with me. One of the rules for the competition was that you should at least co-write the song. But I'd write it all by myself, so before this songwriter came I already started on the song.

It never took me long to think of the lyrics to he songs. But I noticed that this time it took some longer. Maybe because there was more presure than usual. I only had the first verse and the chorus when Harry came in to tell me that the songwriter was with Gerald now and would be here every minute. He reached out and grabbed my writing book out of my lap. While he started reading I played a soft melody on my guitar.

"Laughing so damn hard

Crashed our dads new car

I promise, I swear." he chuckles.

"Did you crash your dads car? With who?" he asks.

"With Ryan. It was on his fourth birthday. Almost a year ago." I say and I grin at the thought of that day. It was Ryans birthday and all of our family was upstairs. It was past bedtime or all my younger nieces and nephews so they had been brought back home. Ryan was permitted to stay up because it was his 'special day'. When we were bored Ryan asked if we could go for a little ride, since I have had my first driving lesson a few days before.

Once we got of the driveway we got hit by an other car. Our car was totally wrecked and Ryan didn't had his seatbelt on so he bumped his head againt the dashboard, causing a huge bruise to arise on his forehead. My father had never been madder before, but Ryan had the best birthday of his life so far. His birthday was this week and I wouldn't even be there with him.

"Earth to Lis?" Harry waved his hand in front of my face. I was completely lost in te memory.

"So the song is about Ryan then?" he asked me and I nodded. "How cute." he said and he pinched my cheek.

"Stop it, stop it." I say and try to fight him when he starts to tickle me.

A strange guy suddenly cleared his throat in the dooropening. Gerald was standing next to him. The man enterred the room and held his hand out for me. He looked nothing like I expected to. He was probably in his early thirties but he was actually pretty handsome. He must have been really hot when he was a teenager. I shook his hand and stared up at him, smiling my best smile.

"I'm Lisanne." I said.

"I know."he stated. "And I'm Rick."

"So.." I say to break the awkward silence.

"I guess I might get going now, I have an interview." he explained and stood up. "Good luck writing Lis." he aid and he blew me a kiss. which made me giggle like a little child. Gerald followed Harry outside and I was left with the man, uh Rick.

"So, do you have an idea what type of song you want to write?" he asked me and sat down crosslegged on te bed in front of me. I laid my guitas down next to me and handed him the paper on which I had started to write.
