Chapter 24

The small, blond haired girl has been walking in circles around her room for good couple of minutes now. Her mind was taken out of the real world so much, she didn't even realise other silhouette coming in her direction. Her mum placed the hand on her shoulder, stopping her crazy movements.

"What's up Amanda?" She asked gently, knowing her daughter for too long right now.

"Can I go and see Annabelle again? It's her last couple of days in Los Angeles right now" the girl asked, not being sure why she did it anyway. She was nearly 20 and in school term she already lived alone so she was mature enough to make all the decisions. However, leaving her family for couple of days required some explanation.

"Of course sweetie" her mum replied, fixing little messy bun on her head. She gave her standard parental procedures about being safe and calling them everyday; and then she headed back to the kitchen, stopping by the door frame. "And make sure to meet with the boy you're that obsessed with right now. Love is felt in the air" she said as Amanda's eyes looked at her in shock. 'Nothing will hide away from the mother' she thought and looked for her phone in the interest of calling her best friend. However, there was no need to as she heard a repetitive sound coming from her bag; Belle was calling her first.

"I have a plan. We need to sort those couple of days out" she heard her friend saying, boosting her energy levels to absolute maximum. She sat down, knowing that it will take ages for them to plan every detail.

At the same time as girls had their long conversation, Mikey was motivated to explain everything to Rose once again. He messaged her about 10 times in a row, saying she didn't understand the situation and that he'll explain everything; he just needed one more chance. The girl refused at first but then decided to listen to the boy as she was not ready for it to end either. She spent last few hours crying and mentally punching herself for caring so much about someone she met 2 days ago. They arranged a meeting in the park and after an hour, Mikey was waiting for his crush with a rose in his hand again. The girl came to him and thanked, mentally feelings butterflies in her stomach of how cute the boy acted.

"I didn't run away I promise." He started nervously, explaining the whole situation. "I am a member of a band, we're getting quite popular and our manager is harsh when it comes to girls. You know, some could mess some things up; expose some details or simply distract us from work. He made a rule that we're not really allowed to have girlfriends and when I met with you he asked where I am. And I had to run back. And I'm sorry. And..." he stopped his monologue as Rose suddenly jumped on him, hugging him passionately.

"I was sure you thought I'm easy" she whispered quietly, causing Mike's heart to break. He hugged her tighter, to then place his hands on Rose's face, moving it up so he would be able to see her eyes.

"Never" he said simply, to then hug her tightly again. The heat from her body calmed him down completely and he wasn't able to think what will happen in 2 days when he would have to leave her.

"YOU STOLE HER NUMBER?" Amanda shouted in shock as she continued to have conversation with Annabelle. Their planning continued for a good hour, but now, nearly everything was ready for the last night before Belle and the boys would have to come back home. Both girls suggested that staying at exclusive apartment would be the best, as everyone just wanted to chill together in a group. Annabelle, knowing how in love Mikey was decided to make a surprise for him and invite Rose; but for this, she needed her phone number.

"I didn't. Rye did" Annabelle laughed, flashing back her memories. (Start of memories) After Mikey left her in the park alone, she decided to go for a little jog, considering it as an amazing place to start with. Her thoughts had overtaken her mind as her feet were running further. Their holiday in LA was coming to an end, meaning Rose and Amanda wouldn't be able to see boys soon. Her trial was also finishing and she was aware; actually almost sure she'll have to leave them too. The realisation of this fact hit her hard, causing her to stop suddenly. Her mind was working as crazy, thinking of different ideas of how to end this beautiful adventure. She looked at the sky, covered with lots of little clouds as her brain finally created an appropriate plan. She quickly run back home, jumping into Rye's room, not even thinking how early it was. The boy was currently sleeping with his head rested on the side. Belle found it really adorable, but she knew she needs to wake him up as they didn't have lots of time to organise it; they were leaving in less than 3 days. She sat in his bed, calmly touching his shoulder so he could open his eyes. Rye just looked at her with misunderstanding, still half asleep. He wasn't happy for being awake at 9 am but as soon as he saw Belle's silhouette brightened with enthusiasm, he couldn't be annoyed for long. She quickly told him the plan of somehow gathering everyone for a mini party on the last day in LA so boys can spend their time with Amanda and Rose.

"Oh, so everyone would have their pair and what about me?" He joked, knowing Harvey would probably bring his friend - Loren, meaning 3 of his mates would have their girls with them at that night. He didn't mind being alone, to be honest he wasn't even sure why he said it.

"Brooklyn and Jack don't have anyone as well, you're not the only single one." Annabelle laughed, while sitting on the bed. "Plus, you forgot about me" she stated calmly.

"You'll be my pair?" He asked quickly, while smirking. Annabelle hearing his suggestion just blushed, realising the boy didn't quite get what she was trying to say. She just meant she'll also be the single one so he didn't need to worry about feeling lonely. However, as soon as she tried to say it, the boy spoke again. "Will it ever go?" He asked, as Annabelle looked at him in confusion. The boy, seeing she didn't understand what he meant explained himself. "I know you for more than a month now and you are still blushing as if I just said I want to bang you on this bed" he laughed, feeling no embarrassment whatsoever. Annabelle hearing this, felt her cheeks getting warmer; her body betrayed her again.

"It's not my fault, don't talk to me like this and it'll stop" she answered defensively, thinking Rye is just making fun of her.

"Soz babe, but I can't." He teased her, not even realising how it annoyed her. For him it was just a bit of fun; with boys he never cared what he said as it was hard to say something that would hurt them.

"Are you going to help me or not?" She said, regretting she asked him for help. She wasn't the type of girl to make drama for nothing so she decided to change the subject, hoping boy will leave her alone.

"Heey.. Don't be mad at me" Rye said, finally realising the girl wasn't happy with his attitude. "It's all bants in the RT camp" he said, trying to put smile on her face; with success.

"Then don't laugh at me blushing Beaumont; trust me, I don't like it either" she said while smiling, but Rye could tell she's being serious.

"I never said I didn't like it" he stated, deciding to be truthful with her. "If I wouldn't, I wouldn't tease you that often" he laughed, as he saw Annabelle's shock. "Think what you want but to be honest, I find it kinda cute" he said, blessing her with an adorable smile.

"If you do that just to make me blush again, I sw... - "I'm not I promise" Rye cut Belle's speech, proving his honestly. The girl just smiled at him, feeling the warmth travelling through her body - he was cute sometimes.

"I'm still annoyed though" she joked. "And the only way for me to forgive you is a little favour" she smiled almost like a devil, persuading Rye to help her with a little crime. The boy just listened carefully, shocked that this girl actually wants to steal Mikey's phone and message Rose, without his friend realising it

"I'm in" he said straight away, considering it as a great idea. The 'goodbye' party plan sounded so cool and he knew boys would be amazed to spend time with their girls.

"Let's go" Belle said, feeling excited about the next couple of days (End of memory)

"Belle? Hello?" Amanda's voice woken the girl up from her thoughts. She quickly recovered and explained her the whole story of stealing Mikey's phone - which was mostly Ryan's actions. She ignored the part where the boy complimented her; she knew that if Amanda would know that, she wouldn't leave any of them alone.

"Make sure you don't say anything to Andy; I want it to be a surprise for most of them" Belle finished, finally ending the phone call with her friend. Because it was only 2pm and she had no work to do, she decided to go and chill by the pool, enjoying her last days in Los Angeles.
