Chapter 55

** Angie's POV & Thoughts **

"My head is freckin' killing me!" Jeremiah whined on the couch as I handed him some Advil.

"No one asked you to get wasted with Taylor and his friends" I said.

"I know, one second we're eating chips, moments later we're drinking" he said.

"Well, you were completely drunk and so was everyone else except for little Hayes" I said.

"I know, little Hayes? He's 13 years old." he said with a laugh.

"Shut up! He's a little 13 year old" I said.

"While I was drunk, did I hurt anyone, especially you?" he asked.

"No don't worry" I said.

"Okay, good. I'd probably hate myself if I ever hurt you physically or mentally" he said.

"How's your head feeling?" I asked.

"It hurts a bit, but its getting better" he said.

"Jeremiah, let's go to my place?" I asked him as we watched his favorite show Survivor.

"Yea, sure" he said turning off the TV.

"You really like that show don't you?" I asked him.

"Yea, I've watched it for a long time" he said.

"Why don't you audition for it?" I asked him.

"Because, I wouldn't make it, so yea" he said.

"I think you'd make it. You're an amazing guy" I said.

"Thanks, but whatever" he said.

"Would you ever like to be on that show?" I asked.

"Yea, it'd be a dream come true to even be in it" he said.

"Then audition!" I said.

"I don't think so" he said.

We arrived at my place and we got out of the truck and walked inside my house. Everyone was in the living room, and it was kinda awkward when we got in.

"Uh... Hi?" I asked.

"Hey Angie and Jeremiah" Jacob and Mahogany said.

"Look, Jeremia-" Cameron said but I soon interrupted him.

"Cameron, if you're going to say something rude, don't because i'm not afraid to beat you like I did to Shawn, i'm ready for round two!" I said walking closer to Cameron, but Jeremiah stopped me.

"No, no. We're trying to apologize. Cameron, Shawn, and I were really mad that night, and we took it out on you too." Nash said.

"Yea, I'm really sorry for being rude to you Jeremiah" Shawn spoke up.

"It's all good fellas, let's just hope we can get along" Jeremiah said. Gosh, why is he so forgiving.

"Great, maybe we can start over and get to know Jeremiah better guys" Cameron said.

"Sounds great to me" Nash said.

"But seriously Jeremiah, we're really sorry" Shawn said.

"It's all good with me" Jeremiah replied.

"Did you guys make up with the other guys or something?" I asked.

"Yea, we actually did this morning" Nash said.

"Good" I said.

"Have you guys eaten breakfast yet?" Jacob asked.

"No, we actually came so I could change, and we were heading to go eat" I said.

"Oh, why don't you guys join us?" Mahogany asked.

"If that's okay with you?" I asked Jeremiah.

"Sounds perfect to me" he replied.

"So Angie, congrats on the new album!" Matt said and everyone congratulated me.

"Thanks, I totally forgot about that" I said.

"Dude! You're already number one in some countries!" Mahogany said.

"Really?" I said as if they were joking.

"It's number one in 13 counties in Europe!" Matt said.

"That's pretty cool" I said since I never really thought i'd be good for the world.

"You're a number one artist in Alternative" Jacob said.

"That's also pretty cool" I said.

"Okay, well now that everyone's a happy family, I'll be upstairs getting ready" I said.

"Babe, want me to wait for you in your room or down here?" Jeremiah asked.

"You can stay here if you want" I said walking up to my room. I really hope he stays downstairs with the other guys.

"Okay, see you soon" he said.

I walked upstairs to my room, and I was glad that things were good for now. I quickly went to CBS.com and submitted Jeremiah's audition tape for Survivor. I know he didn't want me to submit one for him, but I know he's a big fan, so let's hope he makes it.

** Jeremiah's POV & Thoughts **

"Hey, are you okay? I mean I know we were rude to you, but we're really sorry" Shawn said.

"Yea, I've just been thinkin' a lot" I said.

"I mean Jeremiah, you're part of our family now, and you can trust us" Jacob said.

"I know thanks, ya'll" I said.

"Anytime" Mahogany said.

"Okay, I have a big plan I need you guys to help me in" I said to them.

"What's it about?" Cameron asked.

"So Angie's birthday is in two days, and I need some help with the party and things" I said and Jacob and Mahogany had a shock look on their face.

"Her birthday is in two days?" Mahogany asked.

"We're such bad parents" Jacob said.

"Yea, she told me that she never really celebrated it, so it mean a lot if ya'll were a part of it. I mean you guys are her friends

and family" I said hoping that they'd help.

"Of course we'll help" they all said.

"Great!" I said.

"Okay, I just need help with the food, and all that stuff" I said.

"Yea, we can do something for her" Jacob said.

So I basically explained to them all the things we were doing, Cameron would help me make the carne asada, Mahogany would help me get all those lady things for the party, all the other guys had some other small tasks.

"Thanks guys, it means a lot" I said.
