We reach the park where we picked up Anthony and drop him off.

"What time should I come? He asks.

I look to Mitch with a raised eyebrow.

"Two is fine. Bring a towel." Mitch says.

"Ok. Bye guys!" Anthony says as he turns to run back to his house.

"You guys invited him?" I ask with a surprised tone in my voice.

"Yeah....is that ok?" Scott asks.

"Yeah...I mean I don't have a problem with it....but I just thought...." I didn't finish. I was kind of shocked that they are letting a fan in their house.

"Just thought what?" Scott asks.

"Nothing." I say with a smile.

We finally reach the house and I drop all my stuff that I brought with me on the bedroom floor and flopped on the unmade bed face first.

"Where do you want this?" Scott asks lifting the trophy.

I point to a random place in the room. I hear a thud where Scott places the trophy.

"Aww! Is baby girl tired?" Scott says in a high voice.

"Very." I say, still face first on the bed.

I hear the door close gently. I thought about taking nap, but I remembered I didn't take my meds. I turn over and grunt not wanting to get up. I slowly get up from the bed and catch myself in the mirror. I start laughing. My makeup was smeared and I was still in my dance costume. I looked ridiculous.

I strip off my costume and put on black shorts and an olive green crop top. I go to the bathroom and wipe off all my makeup. I was going in the pool anyways. I walked down the stairs slowly. I walk into the kitchen and Mitch was there cutting up some fruit. I walk over to the cabinet where my meds are. Mitch made me put my meds there so he knows I take them. If he wasn't a guy and single, he would be a great mom.

I grab my meds and put it on the counter. I grab a cup and fill it up with water from the fridge.

"You're now just taking your pills." Mitch says, not looking up from his cutting.

I knew it was coming. I cringe a little bit.

"Yeah." I say.

"Why?"

"I was in a rush this morning and I forgot." I say.

He looked up this time.

"You didn't have a panick attack?" He asks looking at me now.

I simply shook my head. Mitch replied with a look of confusion.

"Todrick was there. That's why he was sitting next to me on the stage during awards. He calmed me down. He knows about everything well.......not everything." I say, looking away from Mitch's eyes.

I lean on the counter and play with my medication bottles. I look back to Mitch's sorrowful eyes. I turn back to my meds. It's been a long time since the issue came up. Mitch hands me a small plate with fruit.

"You shouldn't take them on an empty stomach." He says smiling.

"Thank you." I say grabbing the plate and setting it on the counter next to my meds.

I take my meds and put them back in the cabinet. I grab my plate and go outside and sit on one of the long pool chairs. Scott comes behind me and steals a strawberry.

"Hey!" I exclaim pushing his hand away.

He laughs while eating the strawberry.

"May I?" He gestures to sit down.

I move my legs into a crisscross.

"You may."

He sits down and we share the plate of fruit.

"Scott."

"Hmm." He says without looking up from the plate, stuffing himself.

"When do I have to leave?"

He looks up now and slowly chews whatever fruit is in his mouth. He puts a hand on my shoulder and smiles.

"You stay here as long as you need to and I mean it."

"I just don't want to be your guy's problem now."

"You were never a problem in the first place. I'm glad Mitch and I did what we did. God knows where you'd be if Mitch hadn't spotted you. All alone in that rain."

Those moments flashed through my mind. I dig my nail into my thigh to try to forget those memories. Scott rubs my shoulder. He grabs the plate and puts it on the ground. He pulls me into a hug. I lay down my head where his neck meets his shoulder.

"Now we got to get the place ready for the party. Oh and I invited some special guests by the way, but I'm pretty sure you know who they are once you see them." Scott says when he pulls away.

"Who?"

"I guess you'll have to wait and see." He says with a smirk.

I help Scott set up a couple of things outside. We put some lights up and a few summery decorations up. We inflated a huge donut and pizza inflatable float for the pool. It was around 1:30 when we had finished. I headed upstairs to put my bikini on. I settled for a plain black one and a simple white coverup. I then put my light brown hair up in a messy bun. I headed back to the kitchen.

"Some guests have arrived." Mitch says bubbly.

"Already!" I say as Mitch grabs my shoulders and pushes me outside.

"Who's her-" I began to say.

I stopped right outside the door that leads to outside. There they were. Already settled on the pool chairs, chatting away. I was 5 feet away from Kirstie, Avi, and Kevin.

"Go on." Mitch whispers in my ear.

I didn't move mainly because I couldn't. My legs weren't working. Mitch gave me a little push and all three of them turned my way.

"Hi..." I say quietly with a little wave.

"Hey! We've heard so much about you!" Kirstie says standing up. She walks towards me and gives me a hug.

Oh my god! I am almost a head taller than her, I thought. She is so cute!

"All good things I hope." I say when she pulls away.

Kevin and Avi were already headed towards me. They each take a turn to give me a hug.

This can't be for real! I tried to hide most of my fangirlyness. Anthony is going to freak the hell out.

They went back to where they were sitting. I went over to Scott. He was at the outdoor bar making some drinks.

"You could've told me in advance who our 'special guests' were." I say quietly.

"We wanted to surprise you!"

"I'm just saying, I could've like prepared myself for it."

"Just imagine them as regular people." He says coming out from behind the bar and wrapping his arm around my shoulders. He walks me over to them and plops me down next to Kirstie. He hands her what looks to be a margarita.

"Anything for the gentlemen?" Scott asks.

"I'll take a beer." Avi says in his deep and heavenly voice.

"I'm fine for now thanks." Kevin says flashing a smile.

Scott walks away a returns with a beer for Avi.

We chat away and I start to feel comfortable around them. I took Scott's advice but in reality they were just regular people. Just really talented and well known around the world.

My phone buzzed. I check it and see that Anthony had texted me.

A-I'm here.

R-Ok hold on I'm coming. Don't come inside yet.

"I'll be right back." I say.

I walk to the sliding door and once I'm inside, I run to the front door and open it. Anthony was there waiting.

"Hey." He says first.

"Hey! Listen there is something you need to know and you can't freak out because they'll hear you.

"Who wil-"

"Kirstie, Avi, and Kevin are here!" I say really fast.

Anthony's face changed from confused to excited to nervous in a matter of three seconds.

"You're kidding me. They're like actually here! Like beyond that door!"

"Yeah! I wanted to tell you in advance so you wouldn't do anything stupid."

"You're such a great friend!" He says giving me a hug.

"I know. Ok are you ready to meet them?"

"Hell yeah!"

He grabs his towel and we head back inside.

I introduce Anthony to them and I could tell he was freaking out, as I predicted. But like me, he got comfortable talking to them.

I heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen. I walk inside and see Todrick.

"Toddy!" I yell running to him and giving him a hug.

"We literally saw each other a couple hours ago." He says laughing.

"Rude!" I exclaim.

"Just kidding girl!" He says giving me a side hug. "Oh I brought some champagne and a cake to celebrate." He turns to Mitch.

"Ooo temptations temptations!" Mitch says. Grabbing the cake and champagne and putting it in the fridge.

I then grab Todrick's arm and lead him outside. I then introduce him to Kirstie, Avi, and Kevin and they get to talking. Todrick was always a natural at talking to people he's never met. It's so interesting to watch.

Today is most likely the best day of my life.
