Chapter 30

Kayla's POV

"Kayla I am so proud of you honey" my dad said, "I know dad, you've told me non stop for the past two days" I said smiling, blinking back the tears, I was at the airport with amber, waiting to go to London for three weeks, only returning two days before Christmas, but I didn't care, I was actually going to record some of my songs!

"Come on Kayla, we have to go now" amber said, "Bye dad, bye Anne, I love you" I said hugging them both before walking with amber on to the plane and setting off for London.

..

"You will be staying with me and my husband and two children for the next three weeks, I hope that's okay" amber said, "Yes, that's great, thank you" I said, "No bother, just make yourself at home, my son will show you to your room" she said as we pulled up at a lovely looking house, "Beware, my two sons are 14 year old twins, and they are crazy" she said, I laughed but nodded, "Zack! Cody! Come here please" amber yelled, (couldn't help myself with the names lol) and within seconds two blonde haired identical boys came running down the stairs, "Hi" they said in unison, "Hey" I smiled, "Show Kayla to the spare room will you?" amber said, "Sure" they said yet again in unison, it was quite scary.

"Thank you" I said smiling, "No bother" one of them said, "See ya" they said walking away, I went over to the bed and sat down, texting my mum and telling her I had landed and I was settled and that I would call her later.

I walked back down the stairs to the sitting room where amber, Zack and Cody and, I'm guessing, Amber's husband were sat, "Hey is it alright if I go out and about? Or do you need me to do something?" I asked unsure of what I was and wasn't allowed to do, "No you're free to do what you like today, within reason, um, do you have any pounds? Or is it all Australian dollars?" she asked, "No my step mum and I converted it, I've got my money sorted" I said, "Then yeah, be in whenever, um, we start tomorrow" she said, I smiled and nodded, "Thank you again" I said, "Its my job" amber said smiling as I walked out, I decided to go find max and apologise to him, I guess I shouldn't have been so bitchy to him and said sorry for not calling.

I walked through the familiar streets of London, amber didn't live that far away from where I used to stay, it was actually really close, which I found pretty strange.

I walked up to the familiar front door of Max's house, it felt weird to be here, I hadn't been here in almost a year, I knocked on the door and hoped he would be in, otherwise this would be for nothing.

Seconds later the door swung open and revealed max, he smiled, "Kayla?" he said, "Maxy!" I said, "Im sorry for not calling and being a bitch" I said, "I don't want a fucking apology" he said pulling me into a big hug, "I missed you so fucking much max" I said, "I missed you too Kayla" he said, "Anne had a baby girl!" I said, "Really?" he asked, "I have loads to tell you, are you free? We can go shopping? I really wanna I shopping in London, it's been like forever since I've been here! Half the time I forget I ever lived here, even though it was for 17 years" I said, "Yeah sure, come in just now" he said as I walked inside, the all to familiar smell of vanilla mixed with strawberries overwhelming me as I made my way to the sitting room while I waited on max.

..

After a long day of shopping and explaining everything to max, from Anne being pregnant, to Kenzie and I arguing, to the audition for Capitol records, to taking heroin, to Ashley being born, to the call from amber the other day and everything in between, like Luke and I, the arguments, just everything.

I made my way back to Amber's house, when I walked in everyone was eating their dinner, "Hey" I said, "Are you hungry Kayla? There's extra on the stove" amber said, I wasn't actually hungry but I didn't wanna sound rude so I went and took some of the spaghetti Bolognese and ate some of it before saying I was full up.

..

"Okay Kayla, today you will meet your manager, her name is Stephanie" amber explained, "And after you meet her, she will be the one you go if you have any problems, you won't be seeing me again, obviously other than the fact you're staying at my house, but other than that you won't be seeing me" amber said, "Okay" I said, "Are you ready for this Kayla? Good luck darling, i'll see you when you get home tonight, here is the back door key to the house, just in case you go out with a friend or something" amber said, "Thank you so much amber, for everything" I said, "No problem honey, i'll always be here if you wanna talk, i'll give you my number for future if you want advice or something" she smiled, I thanked her before leaving to meet this Stephanie woman, I hope she is as nice as amber is.

"Hi! You must be Kayla!" a woman about 30 said, "Yeah, that's me" I said, "Im Stephanie, your new manager, but I wanna be more like a friend than a manager" she said, "Okay, that's good" I said, "Let's talk songs, do you have any originals?" she asked, "I have 6 originals" I said, "Perfect, do you know them by heart?" She asked, "Yeah, I've sang them so much" I said, "Great, lets get them recorded then" she said, I smiled as I followed her to a recording studio, this was officially one of the top three best days in my life.

(I want Kayla to look like Demi lovato with black hair, her nose and lip pierced, but I want her to sound like Avril lavigne, so all the songs that Kayla 'writes' will be from Avril lavigne, new and old, just to give you a rough idea on how she looks and sounds)
