ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING
Chapter Ten
Rose woke up around nine o’clock
the next morning. She was the first one awake, and she saw Autumn in her bed,
her face stained with tears. Rose thought she had probably cried herself to sleep
the night before. Rose felt sorry for her best friend, she really did, but she
didn’t know what to do. She got up, took her shower, and got dressed. Then she
had an idea. Wouldn’t it be funny if Jack didn’t recognize her? She went to
Adrienne’s nightstand, picked up her straightener off the small table, went
back into the bathroom, and tried to straighten her hair. It took a while,
since her hair was so curly, but she finally was able to straighten it. Then
she had to call Jack. She went to the phone by the couch and dialed the guys’
room number. She told Jack to meet her outside. She walked out and started
walking the opposite direction of where Jack would be. Jack came out, saw
someone walking away from him, and wondered who it was until he remembered that
no one had hair that red.
"Rose?" he asked,
coming towards her.
"I didn’t think you would
recognize me, since I straightened my hair."
"I almost didn’t, until I
remembered that no one has hair that red."
"I should have known."
"Well, I am going back to
bed. Tommy kept me and Fabri up all night saying ‘Autumn’ in his sleep. It was
pretty funny, but now I am exhausted."
"Okay. I will let you sleep.
Autumn cried herself to sleep last night. We have got to get them back
together."
"I know."
"Adrienne and I will think
of a plan. I will meet you later for breakfast."
"Okay. Love ya."
"Love ya, too."
They left and went back to their
rooms. Adrienne walked out of the bathroom, dressed and ready for the day.
"Where were you?" she
asked.
"Talking to Jack. It’s a
long story."
"I should’ve known,"
said Adrienne sarcastically. Both girls started laughing.
"Where’s Autumn?" Rose
asked.
"She went to get some candy
at the gift shop." Both girls laughed even harder.
"No duh!" said Rose,
going to sit on her bed. Adrienne sat on the couch.
"Wanna watch a movie until
the boys wake up?" asked Rose, grabbing the remote.
"Sure. Let’s watch Bringing
Down the House," agreed Adrienne. They ordered the movie and watched
it for about thirty minutes before Autumn came in with a huge bag of gummy
worms and sat down on her bed. She threw the bag at Rose after taking a few.
Autumn was listening to her iPod, and the song Here We Go was on. She
thought of how her life was like that right now, with the situation with Tommy
and all. She replayed the song and sang it silently to herself.

Watch me bounce
In my 7:45
I’ll be riding out
‘Cause I ain’t trying to hear it
Not this time.
"Thanks," Rose said,
throwing the bag to Adrienne after taking a handful. Rose saw Adrienne looking
at her cell phone, so Rose got her own cell phone out to inform Adrienne of the
plan.
Rose: We have to get T & A
back together. Jack agrees.
Adrienne: Ur rite. Got any
plans?
Rose: Yup.
Adrienne: Tell.
Rose: Well, we will get them
to talk later today in our room. We have a hole in the wall in our bathroom,
which I noticed the other day. We can spy on them and make sure they get back
together. We meaning us, Fabri, and Jack.
Adrienne: Good plan! Let’s
inform the guys.
Rose: Jack’s asleep, but Fabri
might be awake. Text message him.
Adrienne: Okay.
Rose put her cell phone in her
purse, and Adrienne told Fabrizio about the plan. This would work out great, or
so they hoped.
Two Hours Later
Everyone was walking towards the
pool after they had eaten breakfast, and Tommy and Autumn were trying to stay
as far away from each other as possible. The guys went to the pool to swim, and
things were getting back to normal for Tommy, Jack, and Fabrizio. After they
swam for awhile, Jack and Fabri had an idea--get their girlfriends to go down
the waterslide.
Jack and Fabri went to where Rose
and Adrienne were sitting. They picked them up and started carrying them to the
stairs to go up to the waterslide.
"Jack! Where are you taking
me now?" Rose shrieked.
"The waterslide. You and
Adrienne have to go down it!" Jack responded.
"Jack! No!" she
shrieked again, seeing that Fabrizio and Adrienne were going through the same
thing a few feet away.
When they got to the slide, Jack
set Rose down and gently pushed her down the slide. She shrieked in delight and
fear. Fabrizio did the same thing to Adrienne a few moments later. When Rose
got up off the slide, she jumped into the pool, since she was already wet. When
she resurfaced, she saw Jack right in front of her.
"Okay," he started to
say before continuing, "since I got you to go on the waterslide, is it
time for the plan?"
"Yup," Rose responded.
"Let’s go." They walked over to Autumn with Adrienne and Fabrizio.
"Come on, Autumn. We have to
show you something," said Adrienne. They walked to the girls’ room. When
they got there, they saw Tommy sitting on the couch. Autumn gasped, and was
about to leave, but Adrienne grabbed her and kept her there.
"You guys need to talk. Both
of you," said Fabrizio.
"We will give you your
privacy," said Rose. They walked into the bathroom and crowded around the
small hole.
"Jack! Get off my head!"
Rose hissed.
"Sorry!" he said,
moving to a different position.
"Shut up," Adrienne
whispered. "They will hear us."
They could hear Tommy and Autumn
talking, and it sounded like they were getting along. Then they kissed, and it seemed
like everything would be fine. Adrienne, Fabrizio, Jack, and Rose all got away
from the hole and came out of the bathroom, applauding for their friends.
"How much did you guys
see?" Tommy asked, obviously annoyed.
"Everything," said
everyone else.
"How?" asked Autumn.
They showed her and Tommy the hole in the wall of the bathroom, and everyone
burst out laughing. It seemed like things would be okay after all.
