Airika's P.O.V.

"I'm here let's do this" I said entering Scooter's office seeing Jennye and Chris there as well.

Julian drove us back to New York, but let me tell ya the ride here was really fun. All of us were joking around with each other and we all just had a good time in my opinion.

It took an extra day to get here, because one night we all stopped somewhere fancy and went to go eat. It was Justin's idea not mine, so I didn't eat what he got me the guilt toke over me. After that we were back on the road and now here we are. New York.

We just arrived in front of Scoot's office time to make or break my life.

"Why are y'all here? I wanted this to be private" I questioned once I saw Jennye and Chris.

"Why would you want a big moment like this to be private?" Jennye asked me.

"Oh your not mad at me anymore sweet" I grinned.

Jennye just grinned at me wider, "Oh I never said you weren't in trouble. At this moment your fine, but later we are going to have a long talk"

I just stared at her then looked at Scooter.

"Like I said before I want this to be private meaning you and I if that's okay with y'all" everyone shook their heads 'No' really fast.

"Why do you want them to leave? They should be here during something important like this, they are the people who are important to you" Scooter told me.

That got the gears in my brain turning.

Important people huh. They only people who are important to me at this moment is my mom, Chris, Jennye, and my friends.

Yeah I feel my friends are important, because they've had to put up with me and I appreciate that.

It would just ruin everything if they were here. I'm honestly not comfortable with the amount of people in the room right now.

"I just feel claustrophobic with everyone in here okay is there a problem with that? Why do y'all have to be all in my business it isn't y'all's to worry about" I replied calmly and everyone looked at me wide eyed.

"I apologize for my choice of words I just..... never mind it's whatever" I mumbled.

"Airika why are you acting like this?" Jennye raised her tone.

I raised my eyebrow "Like what?" I mentally knew exactly what she was talking about.

"You are acting like you don't care" she stated and a little ball of fire grew inside of me.

"This" I gestured toward the contract and picked it up. "Means everything to me. I want to be that person that teens or anyone in general says because of you I never gave up. I want this dream to come true I've wanted this more than anything in the world, so don't you dare say I don't care about this" Jennye just nodded and the look on her face was pure utter guilt.

Justin took the contract from my hand and held it. I thanked him and stared at Jennye again.

I felt terrible I didn't mean to make her feel like that. They just need to get it through their head that this important and not just some choice.

I sent Jennye and Chris and apologetic smile and sat down in one of the chairs in front of Scooter's desk.

He grabbed the contract from Justin and handed it to me once more.

"Ready?" Scooter asked.

"Ready Freddy" I smiled and grabbed a pen.

"Sign your signature here and we will be ready to go" Scooter smiled at me.
