Caitlin's P.O.V

"Hey Red," Marty said, sitting down next to me. "Congratulations on getting through to week six." He said. I smiled and turned to look at him.

"Thanks, you too. I can't believe that Bradley and Brian went home. It doesn't feel real." I said, leaning back against the couch.

The rush from performing on stage has left and now today, Sunday, most of the contestants were hanging out in the hotel's arcade room. It's not really an arcade, but there's a TV and some games in here. The contestants that remain are all here. There really isn't much of us left. We've had to say goodbye to what feels like a lot of them, but in reality it was only eight of them. Now there's eight of us left and only one week left before the semi final. This was all going by too fast and the stakes were so, so high.

"I still can't believe that Jason left and that was the first week. To think that after this week it'll be the semi final. I can't believe how close we are to the end. I really hope that it's us up there, you know that?" Marty said, taking my hand in his. I looked down at our hands and a small smile played on my lips. Marty was cute, funny, and it was obvious he cared for me. I liked to pretend it wasn't true because of my feelings for Brendon, but I shouldn't let that stop me. Brendon doesn't like me, and I need to move on.

"I hope that it's us at the end too." I said, looking up at him and smiling.

Marty looked around before looking back at me and squeezing my hand. "Hey, so I was wondering. If you're not busy Tuesday night, do you think you would want to maybe go out with me sometime? We could get some dinner and hang out at the beach or something. Maybe catch a movie." Marty said.

"I would love to." I smiled widely. Marty was adorable and I really would love to go out with him.

"Stay still." Julie said. I sighed and rolled my eyes, but continued to stay still. Tonight was my date with Marty. After slaving away all day today, rehearsing for Wednesday's night show - we're singing two songs - I'm getting ready for my date with Marty. I was so excited to be going out with him. He's no Brendon but Marty is so amazing in his own way. We get along really well and I'm excited to see how this goes.

"You look really pretty." Liz said, who was sitting on the bed next to me.

Liz is not that good with makeup, however she does have a nice sense of style, which is why she picked out my outfit for tonight. I was dressed in a baby blue crop top that showed of the L.A tan I got through the past few weeks. She matched it with a white skirt that fell about mid thigh and then shoes that matched my shirt. A choker necklace clung to my neck, completing the outfit perfectly. I've never been an insecure person, I knew that I was a pretty girl, so I knew that I looked good tonight. I just hoped that Marty agreed with me.

"Thanks, I'm so excited for tonight. I'm a little nervous though." I said as Julie applied some blush onto my cheek bones.

"Don't be. Marty really likes you, I think that you two are going to have a really good time tonight. Just don't have sex." Liz said.

I laughed, "Sex isn't on my mind. I'm not Julie." I teased the brunette in front of me. Julie glared at me and reached up, flicking my cheek.

"I've only had sex with two guys, thank you very much." Julie said.
