“We better go inside, It’s getting cold.” Jacob said putting his arm around Aimee.
“Yeah I think we should.” Aimee said grinning.
Jacob and Aimee walk to find that everyone is talking.
“Hey strangers?” Dan said sarcastically.
“Hey guys!” Aimee said wiping away a tear from her cheek.
“Where’s Marc and Jay?” Jacob asked.
“Their in the kitchen. I’ll go get them.” Ashley volunteered
When Ashley returned with Jay and Marc, Jacob and Aimee were talking about what they should say.
“Everyone .......we have an announcement.” Jacob started to say.
“All of you will be the first to know that ma and Jacob are getting married.” Aimee said through giggling.
‘AHHHH..’ all the girls screamed.
“Jake, can I talk to you for a minute?” Jay said.
“Yeah sure.” Jacob replied.
“OMG I’m so happy for you!!” Emily said hugging Aimee.
“Aimee, where’s the ring?” Priscilla said walking towards the engaged couple.
Aimee showed the girls the ring. They ooed and Ahhed while looking at the ring.
“Aim, how many karats is the ring?” Abby said wide-eyed.
“1½.” Aimee said.
“Woah that’s a lot of love.” Lyrissa said, “ I wish Erik would buy me something like that.”
“I know what you mean.” Emily said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Jake, do you know what this is gonna do for publicity?” Jay said furiously.
“I know what you mean already. We want a low profile wedding. Even if the press knows about the engagement we wont let them whose coming to the wedding.” Jacob said.
“Jake, I know how much you love Aimee, but all I want to know is that if this get too far you and the others can or will get hurt.” Jay said.
“What do you mean?” Jacob said going back into the house.
“What I mean is that you’re in a very successful band and it’s difficult to keep things private, for example Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. Everyone found out about them in a heartbeat.” Jay said. “ Actually that’s a bad example, but you know what I mean.”
“Ok ok.” Jacob said huddling with the guys for the next song.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“So Aimee, who’s gonna be your bridesmaids and your maid of honor?” Abigail said.
“Yeah? Aim, who’s it gonna be?” Lyrissa said pushing the subject.
“Well, I love all of you guys, you’re my girls and I don’t want you to get mad at me or get into fights with each other and..” Aimee said boldly.
“And what?” Priscilla said impatiently.
“And I’m gonna ask my cousin Lauren, to be my Maid of Honor.” Aimee said finally, “are you giys ok with that?”
“I’m ok and I accept your decision.” Emily said disappointed.
“So do I” Priscilla, Lyrissa, and Abigail said.
“Thank you and don’t forget your all my bridesmaids.” Aimee said reassuringly. “Shh.. Their starting”
The song they did was “All for Love”
“All for love baby girl what I’d do I’d do it for you.” the guys sang in capella.
As the guys were performing, Aimee was thinking ‘How am I gonna tell mom?? Will she be ok?’ All the thoughts just gathered in her mind not knowing what her parents might react
}|{^_^~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~^_^}|{
The next morning , the guys had already left for their meeting with Lou Pearlman.
Aimee woke up in a totally different mood ‘I’m gonna be Mrs. Jacob Underwood pretty soon.’ she thought to herself.
“Aimee, phone!!” Abigail yelled.
“Ok Coming!” Aimee said groggily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hello?” Aimee answered groggily.
“Hey Aimee what’s up?” the person said.
“Who’s this?” Aimee said.
::sniff:: “Andrea.” she said
“Hey sis! What’s up?” Aimee asked.
“Not good.” ::sniff:: Andrea said.
“Why? what happened?” Aimee said in a concerned tone.
“Its about mom, she died this morning.” Andrea said sobbing.
“OMG!” Aimee said holding back the tears.
“Are you gonna come home?” Andrea asked.
“Of course I’m gonna go home as long as Jacob can come with me.” Aimee said wiping away a tear.
“Babe were home!!” Jacob yelled.
“Rea, I gotta go the guys are home.” Aimee said into the receiver.
“Aiight Bye sis.” Andrea said hanging up the receiver
“Bye” Aimee said.
“Rissa, Aimee, Abby. Where are you ?” Trevor said yelling throughout the house.
“Hey Trev, What’s up? Abigail asked as she walked in the kitchen.
“We have some good news for you!” Ashley said interrupting.
“Hey babe.” Lyrissa said, coming from her kissing Erik.
“Hey!” Erik said hugging her.
“Ris, do you know where Aimee is?” Jacob asked.
“She’s in her room.” Lyrissa said.
“K, thanks.” Jacob said walking to Aimee’s room.
Jacob found Aimee sitting down on her bed crying and looking at a picture of her mom.
::knock-Knock:: “hey babe” Jacob said walking in.
“Oh Jake!!” Aimee said running up to him.
“OMG! What happened?” Jacob asked.
“No I’m not.::sniff:: Aimee said sobbing on his shoulder, “Jake, My mom died this morning.”
