I don’t think I could wish any harder that the next morning it was the sun that had woken me and not the shrieks from two different voices. I slowly rolled over, clearly forgetting my current um... lack of clothing?

”KELSEY!” Zacky jumped with me and I saw an older looking couple who I just realized from my past visits at Kelsey’s house were Mr. and Mrs. Rollins.

“Crap.” I murmured.

“Get out of our bedroom NOW!” Mrs. Rollins cried, her face seemed to be stretching... but her rage was clear. Zacky held the sheet close to me like the gentleman I know he is and looked at her directly in the eye and hissed,

“Could you give us a minute to get dressed?” Kelsey then appeared in the doorway.

“Mia? Zacky?” Her shock was impossible to miss and I instantly felt terrible...

They trudges out and Mr. Rollins grabbed Kelsey’s arm as they did so.
When the door shut Zacky and I quickly grabbed our things and quickly dressed.

The yelling never stopped until Zacky slowly opened the door and we heard the front door slam shut. We crept down the staircase and saw Jake in the living room,

“Was that the whore got you your broken nose?” My jaw dropped at the old, fake, plastic surgery dummy bi-

“Mia, come on!” Zacky quietly pulled me to the door and we dashed out.

“Kelsey?” I asked seeing her sit on Zacky’s car hood. Her face was puffy and cheeks tear stained.

“Mia do you think I could spend a few nights at your house?” She whimpered. I rushed to her and hugged her.

“You can live there if you wanted!” I cried. I helped her in the back seat of the car and on the drive Zacky called Johnny from his phone and told him to meet us at my house.

“Kelsey I am unbelievably sorry hun!” I said for like the sixth time.

“It’s really fine you guys didn’t know... it was really dark. I just hated how much they yelled... what they called you and Zacky... it just made me so mad.” She whispered. I could tell she was hurt as well.

When we pulled up we split up, Zacky went to take a shower while Kelsey and I set stuff up in my room.

“So I’ve been thinking about something.” Kelsey began as we waited for the air mattress to blow itself up. I handed her some clean clothes while I changed myself.

“Shoot!” I ushered her to go on.

“You now how I was looked at for that scholarship for English writing a few weeks back?” She asked me swinging her legs back and forth.

“Yeah, what about it? You got it?” I asked getting hyper!

“I DID!” She cheered and I hugged her tightly.

“Congrats Kelsey!” I said excited.

“But there’s something else I didn’t tell you that I should’ve and you have every right to be mad at me for it.” She swore. I let her go and my eyes squinted.

“What...” I drawled out.

“Well that day I was leaving school and Mr. Stump saw me and stopped me. He asked why you hadn’t been at school and naturally I told him right?’ She paused to wait for a response which was a simple nod. ‘Well he asked me to tell you that he had a possible opening for a scholarship... you just had to get back to him and he could set it up. What’s great about it is they’re both at a school in Toronto, Canada called York.” I stay starring at her,

“Why didn’t you tell me?” I shrieked tackling her to my bed. As we laughed we heard the water shut off and my heart stopped...

Could I really leave Zacky? Could I leave this amazing life I have for myself behind to get a music scholarship in Toronto... best question... would I even be good enough?

“So what exactly are you asking me Kelsey?” I asked in husked tones.

“Well since I got my scholarship and I have this gut feeling you’ll get yours if you try for it... I was wondering if you would move to Toronto with me at the end of the year?” I bit my lip and looked at her,

“Could I maybe think it over?” I whispered, her head nodded viscously.

“Of course! I just can’t stand living at home anymore!” I smiled and hugged her again.

I looked down at my KISS t-shirt and my black skinny jeans and Kelsey walked out behind me in my Pink Floyd pants and Green Day tank top. Zacky was in his jeans and one of Brian’s shirts as we all went downstairs.

Kelsey was in the kitchen making popcorn and getting drinks while Zacky was helping me chose a movie to watch.

“How about...Interview With A Vampire?” I asked seeing it in the back,

“Sounds good babe.” He kissed my cheek just before the doorbell rang. I got the movie ready and Zacky returned with Johnny who hugged Kelsey despite her full arms.

It was about an hour later and into the movie when the doorbell rang. I looked at Kelsey confused. She shrugged and I stood walking to the door slowly.

I opened it and my eyes turned huge...

“MAMA MIA!” The voice cheered.

“Well hi again Mia.” The male voice returned.

Well, well who knew your past still comes to bite you in the ass now a days?
