hayes went back to california so he wouldn't miss any days of school and i was walking back to the bus, i was at the store

"hello ma'am"

"uh hi?" i turned around

"you look absolutely stunning"

"uh thank you?" i said, i was confused . there was a lady with sunglasses in front of me as i was about to open my mouth again and she took off her sunglasses

"Sally Mann american photographer" she said as she put her hand out for me to shake

"i've heard of you before" i smiled

"awesome" she smiled

"so what do you need?" i asked

"well you are absolutely gorgeous and i would love for you to model at my studio" she said

"oh well i'm kinda in the middle of a tour and i'm a photographer" i said

"i will pay you $300 for every month you model with me!" she said

"oh i would have to think about it" i said

"well how long are you in lexington for?" she asked

"uh i leave on monday" i said

"well you have until monday" she said "here's my business card with my number"

she started to walk away

"wait would i have to stay in lexington?" i asked

"uh well yes" she said

"i'll do it" i blurted out

"awesome" she smiled

i walked back to the tour bus and zach was sitting on the couch by himself

"hey are you ok?" i sat next to him

"yea i'm fine" he said

"no i'm serious what's wrong?" i asked

"management wants us to break up, i had a fight with kay, kay posted on her instagram that i was just using her to hide the fact i'm in a relationship with you" he said

"what?" i said

"sarah we have to break up, you are getting death threats! sarah it's for the best" he started to cry

"yea it's all good, i think this is a good time to say this but i'm actually staying here in lexington, i'm going to be a model" i tried to smile through my tears

"sarah i'm so happy for you!" he hugged me

"thank you" i hugged him back

"you are going to be one heck of a model!" he looked at me in the eyes

"thank you" i smiled

i went back to my bunker and got a text from sally saying i can start tmrw, that she has renting me a condo in northern lexington, i was gathering everything i needed, i didn't go to the concert today so i just stayed behind and fell asleep before the boys came back onto the bus

"hey hey wake up"

"what?" i groaned

"uh your photographer is outside the bus" zach said

"what?" i said

"she's outside!"

"ugh tell her to wait 10 minutes" i got up

"ok" zach left

i got up and got dressed and took everything outside and she was there waiting with a young guy

"i'm all set" i said as i put on a sweater

"we are going to miss you! GROUP HUG"

all the guys came and hugged me tight, they felt like family even if it was a month with them on the road they felt like family besides zach , i started heading outside

"are you ready?"

"uh yea" i said

"ok come on let's go" she grabbed my luggage

"SARAH"

i turned around and it was zach outside the bus, i never said goodbye to him, i couldn't help but run into his arms and kiss him. that's what i did, he grabbed me and wrapped his arms around my waist we stop kissing

"i'll miss you" he said

"i'll miss you too" i let go from the hug

i walked back to sally and the guy

"completely ready?" she asked

"yes" i smiled

"ok get in the car and we are taking you to your house" she said

i got into the car and she started driving away

"well as we are driving there, sarah this is going to be your assistant AJ" she said

"oh hi i'm sarah" i smiled

"hi i'm AJ" he smiled

i was quite the whole way to the apartment

"we are here" she parked

"oh great" i smiled

"cmon let's go inside" she said

we went up the stairs and we got to my apartment, it was amazing and huge

"here's your house keys and car keys!" she said

"car keys?" i asked

"rental" she smiled

"oh thanks" i said

we toured the house and it was time for me to get settled in and AJ and sally both left
