AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey, everyone. I know I almost never make announcements at the beginning of the chapter, but this is just to let you know that most of the times that everything starts and who wins what award for the awards WARB are nominated for are SOLELY AND PURELY MADE UP for the sake of the story. The only time that WILL be correct will be the time that the ACM's actually start, which is 8pm ET/PT. And one more thing... PLEASE BEAR WITH ME (and I actually found on dictionary which one to use... Thank God for dictionaries.) Anyway, ON WITH THE STORY!

HEADING TO THE RED CARPET

RYLAN'S POV

Tonight's the night.

The ACM Awards.

Alright, if you can't tell already, we're all excited for tonight. Yes, there's a lot of stuff on our plate tonight, especially since we just got back from touring with Hunter.

Anyway, this is what happened about... oh... two hours ago? I don't remember. Anyway, roll the tape!

2 HOURS AGO

AT THE HOTEL

RYLAN'S POV

"Rylan, wake up!" everyone exclaims. Then I shoot up from bed and scowl at everyone. Okay, so you know how yesterday we had the Party for a Cause on Friday, the Archery event, more Party for a Cause, Jewel sang for Pure Via, and the ACM After Hours yesterday? Yeah, a girl can get tired from all of that. Yes, I loved meeting all the fans and a bunch of other country music artists, but I was dead tired.

"What the heck guys?" I groaned, "Can't a girl get her beauty sleep?"

"Uh Ry," Wyatt chuckled, "you do realize we've gotta be at the red carpet for the ACM's in two hours, right?" That's when I look at my alarm clock. Now I feel like a deer in the headlights.

It's 3 in the afternoon. We have to be at the Red Carpet in 2 Hours

"Crap!" I exclaim, causing everyone starts laughing. But I manage to get in my dress, put on my heels, apply my makeup, and do my hair in an hour. And the other girls are taking longer than me. Take that, ladies. Even with two hours to get ready, Rylan wins this round.

We then head downstairs to meet Hunter. But... there's a note on the door saying where he is...

WARB,

Had to leave early. Meet the driver in the lobby and he'll take you to the red carpet.

-HH

"He would," I scoff.

We then go down to the lobby using the elevator, and we find a driver waiting for us. He's dressed up and holding a sign with the letters W A R B on it. We had to take a picture of it and we posted it to our new official Instagram page. Thank goodness he didn't mind. He then took us outside and we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw what we were riding in to the ACM's.

"Is this real?" Andy asked. The driver just nods his head and opens the door for us.

"Limo time!" we all exclaim.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

So, that's what happened.

And now we're at the red carpet.

Obviously we're all flipping out.

The driver opens our door, and everyone gets out before me. There's a lot of fans and a lot of cameras. Someone then leads us down the red carpet, signaling us to get a few photos every now and then. And we ran into Tyler and Brian on the carpet, so we obviously had to say hi for Destini's sake. We also had a few interviews, which were pretty interesting.
