{Hello people! I'm going to have to only update once a week for a while. School is getting rough so I'm getting pretty busy. Thank you for so many reads. Enjoy... :D }

I pause the YouTube video I'm watching and try to play the chords of the song I'm teaching myself. The song is "Cuckoo" by the one and only, Adam Lambert.

I strum the guitar and it sounds pretty close the original. I hit the spacebar, making the video play, and watch Tommy's hands move down the frets. I pause it once again and I'm about to strum but my phone starts to ring. I pick it up and smile at the voice.

"Hey babe!"

"Adam, I'm not your babe," I laugh, thinking about the words he wrote on my jaw line.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. So I was wondering if you wanted to go camping with me tonight? Scarlett, Riff and Lee will be there also. I have all of our blankets and pillows. They'll be in a different tent by the way. "

"Uh... I have school tomorrow. It's a Monday remember?"

"Uh... You don't have school tomorrow. It's spring break remember?"

"Oh yeah! Duh, total blonde moment."

"So yay or nay?"

"Yay of course!"

"Would you be ready in an hour?"

"Yeah I should be ready by then."

"Okay I'll see you in an hour babe," I can tell he has a smile on this face by the way he says it.

"Bye babe," I giggle. I jump up from the floor and grab some clothes off my shelf. 2 extras of everything because you never know. I stuff it all in a backpack and head downstairs.

I scope out the area but soon remember that my dad is at his friends house for "various" reasons.

I walk into the bathroom and grab a hairbrush, toothbrush and some toothpaste. I take the sunscreen and bug spray out of the cabinet and stuff that into bag as well. Someone will probably already bring bug spray stuff but like I said... You never know.

I decide to take a quick shower and wash my hair because I was going to do that tonight anyways.

----

I pick up my bag in response to the car horn coming from out front. I walk out of the door without locking it. I notice Adam's walking up to the porch as I'm walking across it. He stops at the steps and waits for me to reach them. I feel the dare devil in kick in and I jump down the 3 stairs. When I land I lean a little bit too far forward and fall onto Adam. If he hadn't been standing there I would've bit the dust.

"Oh hi there babe," he says while laughing with me in his arms.

"Thanks for catching me!" I say after he practically lifts me up into a standing position.

He takes my backpack and leads the way to my car door and opens it for me.

Aww, such a gentleman.

He walks back around to his side and sits down on his seat. He pushes the key into the ignition and starts the engine.

"Dude... You still haven't gotten that push to start car?! Come on!" He smiles and shakes his head at my words.

"Um... We are going have to stop at Walgreens and pick up some s'mores supplies." He remarks with worry in his voice. Why... I'm not too sure.

"I'm cool with that."

He nods and directs the car in the direction of the store. We pull up to the place and get out. "We should probably be quick. The paparazzi may show up." I give him a nod realizing why he was worried. As we walk through the sliding doors of the store, all eyes are on us. I normally wouldn't care if it was like 2 people but there we at least 7 people in line and they were ALL staring at us. I looked at them and gave them a smile. Adam just kept going without making any eye contact.

We walked through one aisle filled with what Adam would call junk. I ,on the other hand, would call it heaven. We pick up the marshmallows and the chocolate bars and our journey into another aisle. There is a woman with her daughter and son looking at the bread. The kids had to be at least younger than 10. The boy turned and saw us and his eyes grew wide. He quickly turned around and started poking his sister. She yelled at him to stop and all he did was point at us. When she realized who Adam was her jaw dropped to the floor.

"A-are you... Is that... A-Adam?"

Adam turned his head smiled at the little girl. He nodded his head and grabbed the box of graham crackers that he was looking at before.

"Adam! I can't believe it's you! I love you so much!" Her smile had widened. Adam opened up his arms and offered her a hug. She didn't think twice about it and literally jumped into his arms.

"Hi sweetie! What's your name?"

"I'm Vanessa! Wow... I can't believe that I'm standing next to you!" Her gaze went up to him, then shifted to me.

"I remember that feeling." I say, returning a smile.

"Adam... Can I get a picture with you?" She asks timidly.

"Yeah, of course! Anything for my Glamberts." The whole family walks over and stands next to Adam.

I guess they are an actual Glamily.

I take the phone from the mother and ask if there ready. They all nod their heads. I take the picture and let them see if it was good enough. They all like it an the mother pulls Adam aside and tells him something. His expression tells me that it was something kind of sad but he still smiles. He gives the kind woman a hug and we leave with saying goodbye.

"You know you just made their day right?" I question but it's more of a statement.

"Yeah... The mom said that they have been going through some tough times and my music keeps them going."

"Aww."

"It still amazes me that I'm the person that makes them happy. It used to always be me that would listen to music and become happy. Now it's reversed. It's just so surreal."

"Well you told us that we would be alright in the aftermath," I say while hanging my arm on his shoulder. He smiles and we walk up to the register to pay for our s'mores supplies.
