( Emma's pov )
When I seen Sam come out. He held up his paper that told him he made it. When they called my name I had to go out there, just do my best. When they called my number I stood up, I took a deep breath, went out there.
" Hey there sweetie. What song will you be singing today?" Jennifer asked me.
" Umm I will be singing " Try " by Colbie Calliat." I said.
" Okay well lets hear it." Harry and Keith said.
" Put your makeup on, get your nails done, grow your hair, run the extra mile, keep it slim, so they like you, do they like you, get your sexy on, don't be shy girl, take off, this is what you want to belong, so they you, do you like you, you don't have try so hard, you don't have the give it all away, you just have to get up get up, get up, you don't have to change a single thing, You don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try, you don't have to try, get your shopping on at the mall, max your credit cards, you don't have to choose, buy them all, so they like, do they like you, wait a sec, why should you care what they think of you, why should you care what they think of you, when your all alone, by yourself, do you like you, do you like you, you don't have to try so hard, you don't have to give it all away, you just have to get up, get up, get up, you don't have to change a single thing, you don't have to try,try,try, you don't have to try,try,try, you don't have to try,try,try, you don't have to try, you don't have to try, you don't have to try so hard, you don't have to give it all away, you just have to get up, get up, get up, you don't have to change a single thing, you don't have to try,try,try, you don't have to try,try,try, you don't try,try,try, you don't have to try, take your make up off, let your hair down, take a deep breath, look into the mirror at yourself, don't you like you, cause I like you." I sang, listen to what they had to say.
" Uh why did you choose that song for?" Jennifer asked.
" I chose that song because I do believe you don't have to try so hard to be who people want you to be you just be yourself, I always did my own ways, I didn't really care who, who doesn't like me, I want other people to show it just like Colbie Calliat did." I said.
" Well then I vote for you Emma." Jennifer Lopez said.
" Well Emma I decided to vote for you." Keith Urban said.
" Me too Emma congrats." Harry said.
" Thank you guys so much." I said all happy.
" Go tell your family the big news." They said.
" Okay I will." I said walking out nervous but mostly happy because I made it.
I ran out with the paper telling me that I made it. I didn't have time to write in my diary today but I have a lot of explaining to do in it later. Then I seen Lexi and Brie right there so I ran up to them first.
" Hey guys I made it." I said so happy.
" Good job we are so proud of you." They said.
Then when I was about to go tell Sam he already came up to me.
" Hey I was about to come to you." I said.
" I know you were." He said.
" What's wrong?" I asked.
" Will we ever get to like spend time together when we go off with our dream?" He asked me.
" Of course we will." I said.
" I am just saying maybe we should take this slow for a little bit." He said.
" what does that mean? Are you breaking up with me?" I asked.
" Why do you always assume that I am breaking up with you." He said.
" That sure what it seems like. If you are not happy with us being together then maybe we shouldn't be together." I said.
" Emma I didn't say anything like that." He said.
" Then what did you mean then. If this is about college you are worried about?" I asked.
" Why do you always suspect it is college." He said.
" Then what is it?" I asked.
" I don't want you to go." He said.
" That is what you are worried about?" I asked.
" I know it is being selfish for me to say that but I just don't want you to get upset if one of us stayed on. One of us gets eliminated from it." He said.
" So you think I'm that person. Or are you afraid that when we go I will lose it when I see your ex. I told you I am not jealous of that being a problem. You can always talk with her. But is what I want to do with you." I said.
" How is it you can always figure people out?" He asked laughing.
" Because when you love that one person you always want to show compassion for them." I said.
" I haven't been a really good boyfriend lately." He said.
" Nobody's perfect Sam. Do you wanna know what I think of you?" I asked him.
" Yeah I guess." He said.
" Sometimes you can be a jerk, say stuff you don't really mean. But I am always here for you. To help you make sure you don't lose yourself. I love you Sam. Remember when we first started going out. You said " Always and forever Emma." That is what you said. So yeah we can go to this together." I said.
" Yeah I guess you are right. Do you wanna know why I am like that though?" Sam asked.
" Sure what?" I asked.
" Because I can't be selfish with you. I am just protective. That is what I am Emma." He said.
" I understand. Which is why I want you to come with me. Sam you made it too. You should come with me." I said.
" I know I made it. But what do you expect me to do Emma. I just can't let everything just go here. Of what we have in the summer. The plans we had. Are you willing to just go to this thing then just spend the summer here?" He asked.
" This has been my life Sam. You can't expect me to give to up. We will still have the summer." I said.
" What half of the summer. Right when we have to go back to school." He said.
" I thought that we were on the same page?" I asked.
" I just don't think we should go." He said.
" Of course you want To just stay here and make everybody's feel bad. Well you can ether go with me or stay behind. Because I am not giving up this opportunity just for you." I said walking away.
Then I went over to dad,mom, Carl, Sutton, when I seen Shane I was kind of happy. Because he is my dads best friend, he is kind of like a buddy to me. I ran up to give him a hug. To tell him the big news.
" Hey em so nice to see you too." Shane said.
" I am so happy to see you too." I said.
" So are you guys going to tell me why you asked me here?" Shane asked.
" I made it to go to American idol for me to sing. It is going to be in Paris." I said.
" Wow I am so proud of you em." Shane said excited for me.
" Thanks Shane." I said.
" So what does your boyfriend think about you going? Did he make it too?" Shane asked me.
" Yeah he did. But he doesn't want to go." I said.
" But is he excited for you?" Shane asked.
" He doesn't want me to go ether. But that is not his choice. I am going no matter what." I said.
" Well we will be there for you." Shane said going to talk to my dad.
Then we went home. When I got home I decided to go upstairs to write in my diary. While Shane helps my mom and dad cook outside on the grill. When I got up there. I sat on my table in my room with my chair. I turned on my light right beside me. Then I grabbed my pen and started writing.
Dear Diary
Today was awesome for me. I got to sing. I made it into American idol. So did my boyfriend but he doesn't want to go. I want him to but I am not going to force people into doing anything that they don't want to. He just doesn't understand about how important this is for me. He thinks I am going break when one of us don't win. But I won't. My parents are happy for me. Even Shane is happy for me. Even my brother, sister, my best friends but for some reason Sam is not happy for me. But I won't let that get me down. It has been so amazing writing this and telling you my feelings. Because you always have to have a diary to write stuff down. Because life is to important for you not to write it down. I promise I will write back tomorrow.
Love, Emma Grimes.
Then I put it up. Then all of a sudden when I was getting up I felt blood on my hand. Then when I looked down on my hand I seen the blood. I was wondering where it came from. I ran into the bathroom. I looked into the mirror. It was my nose. It wouldn't stopped bleeding. I then collapsed on the floor knocked out of all the blood.
