Jen's P.O.V
I look down at my phone as the screen lights up. Bella had sent me a Snapchat. I unlock my phone and look at what she sent me. A photo of her in math class looking very sad that said:
'Wow my life is boring'.
I laughed and took a photo of myself studying scripts and wrote:
'At least your not alone.'
A few seconds later she replied. I laughed out loud at the photo of the boy sitting next to her asleep on his desk:
'Yeah he's great company'.
'Okay you win. Hey do you wanna go out with me tonight? I need to ask you something.'
I send back hoping she says yes. I beam at the reply:
'Yeah! Can you pick me up from school at around 3:15.'
I look at the my watch, 2:00. Only an hour and a half till I get to see her again. I have only seen Bella a few times since the whole "runningawayfromthepaps" incident during which she made me a private Snapchat account so that we can talk as often as possible I still don't really understand it but she told me that I'll learn to love it. I run up the stairs to my bedroom to start getting ready.

Bella's P.O.V
I stand out he front of the school with my friends waiting for Jen. I can't wait to see her again, from the few times that we've met before and our endless texting I think you can tell that we get on really well. It's just so amazing that out of everyone in the world it's me who gets to be friends with Jennifer Lawrence. Yes I know that there is a bit of an age gap but I have actually become a lot closer with Jen than I am with most of my friends already. I zone out of the conversations around me and start thinking about this afternoon. Jen said she wanted to ask me something, what could it possibly be? Heels or flats? Apple or Samsung? Blue and Black or White and Gold? I laugh to myself at the things I've come up with.
My thoughts are interrupted buy the honk of someones car. I look up and see Jen in the driver's seat waving at me vigorously.
"Who's that?" one of my friends ask.
"That's Jen," I laugh in reply.
"I know her from somewhere," another girl comments. Shit.
"You probably have just seen her at the shops or something. Listen, I better go," I say and run over to the car before any of them realise who Jen is.
"Hey," Jen says as I open the door.
"Hey," I reply hugging her.
"So where are we going?"
"I was thinking I would take you to my favourite cafe."
"Won't there be photographers?"
"Nah. I go there all the time but just to be extra careful we'll sit at the back. Now let's go," she says and we speed down the road.

Jen's P.O.V
Shit I'm nervous. We walk into the cafe and sit in a booth at the back.
"Is there any drinks that I could get you?" The waitress says as she hands us the menus.
"Just water thanks," we both say at the same time and giggle.
"So what is the big question?" Bella asks when the waitress walks away.
Okay. Just do it. Like ripping off a bandaid: fast and painless. Hopefully. Wait. What if she says no. Fuck she's gonna say no. Jennifer Shrader Lawrence woman up and get on with it.
"Okay. Umm. Here we go. I was wondering if maybe, only if you want to, that maybe I could adopt you," I manage to get out.
She stared blankly at me, her jaw fell open, tears began to form in her eyes.
"Shit. I'm sorry Isabella I didn't mean to upset you or offend you or whatever I did. Just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm sorry please forgive me. I shouldn't have even thought you would even want me to be, to be my, for us to. Just forget it. I shouldn't have said it," the words just keep falling out of my mouth. "I'm such a fucking idiot. Arghhhhhh fuck me."
"Jen," she interrupts. I look up at her she's beaming her beautiful dimples on display to all. "I would love to be your daughter."
"Oh my gosh are you serious. I mean we don't even have to be mother and daughter we could be more like sisters or even just best friends that live together. You do want love with me right I mean that's what family does. Not that we're family,"
"Jen," she interrupts again. "We can sort all of that in a minute, now shut up and hug me!"
"Yes ma'am!" I giggle.
So we stand there hugging and laughing. I can honestly say that this is the happiest I have ever been in my life and I can't freaken wait to feel like this more often now that Bella is in my life.

And that's that. I'm sooooo sorry that I haven't updated in forever. I love writing this book so far I just haven't felt very motivated these past few months. But I'm feeling a lot better now and I promise to try to update more. Let me know if you have any suggestions.I apologise if you don't like the "strong language" but that's how I am and that's how hen is aswell so I'm gonna use it anyway and also I'm from Australia so some things might be spelt different and I don't really know about when you get time off school in other countries so I'm going to do it how I have mine. But the story is still set in America.
Until next time my loves, Caitlin. xoxo
