Christina's POV

"Hey Babe, I'll pick you up at 6 alright?" Chandler says to me over the phone. "Okay see you then." I reply.

I hang up the phone and immediately start getting ready for the award show. I finally decided on a gorgeous white dress for the night. I apply some eyeliner, a bit of mascara and a little foundation to cover up any acne.

What? I'm still a self-conscious teenager.

I straighten my now red hair and put it into a light ponytail to complete the look. I look at my reflection and grin, I look and feel beautiful! My head snaps up when I hear someone knocking on my front door. I open the door to see Chandler with a bouquet of roses and a cheesy grin on his face. The grin immediately gets wiped off his face when he sees me.

"Wow... You look stunning." He breathes. I blush slightly, "Thanks. You look great too." He opens the door for me and helps me into his car. I smile at his gentleman-ness and he grins again.

Teen Choice Awards, here we come.

Ross' POV

I pull on my blue shirt with faded lines on it and a pair of black jeans. I had called Rydel earlier for help on an outfit. I want Christina back in my life. A lot has happened in the past year without her. I started filming Teen Beach Musical, Rydel and Daniel got married, Laura and I started fake dating for the paparazzi- well at least, it's fake to me.

I ruffle my hair for that 'bed head' look and take one last look in the mirror. I jokingly flex my muscles when I hear a chuckle behind me. I turn around and see Riker.

"Oh uh, hey Riker... didnt see you there." I mutter pretty embarrassed. Riker ignores this though. "Go get her." I blink a few times in shock when Riker walks away. How does he know I was only doing this for her?

When I arrive to the awards show I take a few pictures on the red carpet. I start walking inside when the paparazzi start going insane.

"Chandler! Christina!" The continuously yell. I glance behind me to see the girl of my dreams looking beautiful tonight. I glare at Chandler when I see his arm around her but he doesn't see me.

I then stalk inside to find my seat.

Christina's POV

Flashing lights. Everywhere. Seriously I think I'm going blind. I look around only to see my ex boyfriend glaring at Chandler. Ross. He's here.

Chandler and I finally make it inside and go to find our seats. The show starts way too soon though.

I'm called back to present an award with my good friend Josh Hutcherson. We're presenting the 'Best Disney Channel Show' award. Oh boy...

Ross' POV

I watch Christina walk on stage with Josh Hutcherson as the crowd claps. "Tonight is a very special night for many special people." Josh starts. "Different ages, some young and some younger." Christina says. Many chuckles are heard among the celebrities. "Which is why we are very proud to present the best Disney Channel series." Josh smiles. "Onto our nominees." Christina finishes.

The stage goes dark as the screen starts to play scenes of different shows. "The nominees are... Jessie, Good Luck Charlie, My Babysitter's A Vampire, Fish Hooks, and Austin and Ally."

The stage lights up again and Christina holds the winner in her hands. "And the winner is...." Josh begins. 'Please let it be me, I want to be up there with her...' I think.

Christina opens up the card and her face is shocked. "Austin and Ally.." Christina says slowly. The spotlight finds me when I stand up and Christina watches my every move. I climb onto the stage and I'm given a surfboard.

Christina's POV

No way. He won. Where's his girlfriend? Shouldn't she be here? Why do I feel jealous? Do I still like him?

Ross begins his speech. "I'd like to thank everyone who likes to watch Austin and Ally. It really means a lot to me. I'd like to thank the producers, director, and cast members. There wouldn't be a show without you all. Thank you to any R5 fans for your support. Thanks family and friends, this means a lot to me." He turns and walks backstage with Josh and I.

"Congrats." I say weakly to him. My heart aches a little but I ignore it. I start to walk away from Ross when he grabs my hand, pulling me back to him. "Come with me please." He begs with puppy dog eyes.

Damn, how can you resist? I nod silently to him and he leads me into a room and closes the door. "Christina I still love you." He says truthfully.

I want so badly to say that I still love him but I'm still hurt from what he said a year ago. "How do I know you really love me?" I whisper, letting all the hurt I feel seep into my words. He senses this. He places his hand on my cheek and moves my head up a little so I'm forced to look at him.

He looks into my watery brown eyes with his hazel ones. I can see the love in his eyes as he leans in and kisses me deeply.

Honestly, I felt like I was on cloud nine. Fireworks were set off and I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck.

He smiles into the kiss and I know that everything has been set right.
