I was woken by the sound of pounding on my door. I opened my eyes to see Jake sleeping beside me I checked my phone and it's noon "we must've taken a nap after our argument" which didn't bother me sleep is my best friend.

Carefully getting up I opened my bedroom door to see my dad holding Maria,

"What?" I asked

"Did you forget"

I furrowed my eyebrows together trying to think of what I possible could've forgotten, not being able to think of anything I shrugged my shoulders,

"Does 'hottest new artist' ring a bell?" he smirked

"That's right!" I exclaimed "I'm nominated for that how could I forget?!"

"You better start getting ready along with your wonderful boyfriend he's nominated for a few awards"

"What time do we have to leave?"

"Two and don't worry about Maria Bethany and your sister are getting her ready"

"Thank you"

I sent him a smile then turns towards the bed and saw Jake peacefully sleeping I went over and straddled him,

"Jake!" I yelled making him groan "get up! We need to get ready!"

He looked at me and smiled,

"Only if you were na-"

"No time" I interrupted

I got off of him and got ready for a shower,

"what's up?"

"Does the MTV VMAs mean anything to you?!"

"Shit" he groaned

"Yeah so go get ready"

He cleared his throat. I turned and looked at him

"Please"

"Thank you" he smiled then got off my bed "I'll be back"

"Ok"

I ran out of the bathroom and kissed him bye.

After my shower I wore a Burberry Silk Crépon Corset Detail Dress and Sergio Rossi scalloped crystal t-strapped black sandals. I decided to put my hair in Texas curls then pinned the side back. I looked myself over in the mirror,

"My first award show"

"You nervous?"

I saw my friends standing in the door way,

"Is it that obvious?"

Jade and Ted walked in and sat on my bed,

"You'll be fine" Ted said

"What if I trip?"

"Then just get back up" Jade smiled

I rolled my eyes,

"You look beautiful"

That's not my friends. I saw Ryan standing in my doorway,

"Thanks"

He came over to me and took my hand,

"You're going to win" he smiled

"Did you see the other artists I'm up against? their so much better than I am"
