Annabeth:

"No I should push her out! It was my fault!" Gloria argued

"Well I'm her friend!" Shawn argued back

"Well so am I!" Gloria hissed

"Well I've ben her friend for longer!" Shawn snapped

"Alright guys!" I shouted, breaking up there argument of who would push me out the front door of the hospital

They looked down at me with "Were In the Middle of An Argument here" look.

"Dante" I shouted

Dante ran up behind me and pushed my wheelchair out the door to Georgia's car where she was waiting in the front. Shawn jogged out and helped get me into the car while Gloria got into the back. I made her swear on her life she wouldn't tell anyone about my P.O.D. Ever. The only person she could discuss it with would be Dante, and that is it. Georgia didn't know, Shawn didn't know, no one knows. I intend to keep it that way as long as possible, even if I didn't like it to be this way. Shawn and Dante went in Shawn's car and we all met up back at Georgia's house.

"Alright I get to push her this time!" Shawn called, jumping out of the his jeep

"Guys what the heck! Who cares?! I could push myself with one hand you know!" I shouted as they took my wheel chair out of the trunk

I sighed when I realized it was hopeless. Shawn came around and carried me into my wheel chair and to be serious his arms were so arm I was kinda disappointed when he put me down. Suddenly I was pushed forward at top speed into the house and I began to giggle and scream at the sudden rush, still not knowing who was pushing me.

"AGH ANNAEBTH DONT TELL ME YOUR ROOMS UPSTAIRS!" I heard Gloria yell behind me as she continued to rush me about

"SORRY GLORIA, ITS UPSTAIRS!" I shouted back which kinda hurt my lungs but it doesn't matter, I loved this rush!

My wheel chair suddenly stopped and I heard a small scream behind me. I turned my wheel chair around to see Dante slinging Gloria over his shoulder

"Yeah okay, my best friend" He said out loud, setting her down several feet away

"Oh my god you boys are so possessive" I said rolling my eyes

"Yeah, over our friends Anna" Shawn said as he walked into the room picking Gloria up and placing her to the side

I stared at them with dead serious looks. They were upset cause I had forgiven Gloria weren't they? Just because she used to bully them doesn't mean she couldn't have a change of heart! Dante gave me a what's wrong look as my face turned dead serious.

"Hey Annabeth I have to get going, my dads expecting me home for lunch" Gloria said before awkwardly leaving the room

"Alright guys cut the crap" I said, leaning back in my chair, the serious look on my face remaining.

"What?" Shawn asked looking back at me from staring after Gloria

"You guys are still upset about me forgiving Gloria arnt you?"

They gave each other an odd look and then back at me.

"Whaaaaaat?" Both Shawn and Dante said nervously

I crossed my arms and set my jaw firmly. Shawn sighed and Dante gave a 'I give in' face.

"She used to bully us as kids" Dante complained

"Yeah and she tried being all nice to me cause I'm famous" Shawn stated

"And what if I told you the reason she acted this way was cause her mom died when she was little and was really angry cause she thought it was her dads fault?" I said in - matter - oh - factly

There eyes softened and there mouths parted open

"Oh"

Shawn:

"Come on Annabeth join it!" I begged as we slowly made our way down the hallway

Its been about a month now since Annabeth's accident and she was still moving slowly. The deadline for the talent show is next week and I'm still trying to convince her to join.

"I cant, I don't want to and I wont" she said as we made it to her locker

"Please for me?" I begged

"I'll do it for a Magcon Boys reunion" she joked as she placed some things in her locker

That actually didn't sound half bad! I've talked to Cameron and Nash about Annabeth so much that they would want to meet her! Matt and the rest too! Annabeth closed her locker and looked up at me with her sincere eyes, her red curls hanging in her face and her smile as big as possible.

"I love how your trying so hard for me to join, but I don't have talent" she said, her smile drooping at her last words

She walked by me to go to class and I sighed. I turned around to run after her but I felt someone place a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and Gloria dragged me into an empty classroom.

"What the heck Glory" I hissed as I brushed away from her

Glory was her new nickname that Annabeth gave her and I guess it stuck. Ever since Annabeth explained to us why Gloria turned out to be the way she is shocked both Dante and I.

"You have to swear to god you wont tell Annabeth I told you this" she whispered

"Well it depends on what it is"

" I know a way to get her to join the contest!" she said with a smile

My face turned serious and I raised an eyebrow at her. There cant possibly be a way that I haven't tried to convince Annabeth.

"I'm serious! Okay look at this" She said getting her phone and typing something in on YouTube

She sat me down and she pressed play on the video. I recognized the beginning tune as 'Just Imagine It' by MKTO. My heart suddenly skipped a beat when I saw Annabeth, wearing make up and a leather jacket over a red dress that went to her knees. She stood beside a figure wearing a hoddie that hid there face. A band was behind them but missed there drummer. Then thats when I realized the title of the video.

Just Imagine It cover by The Singer of The Palace

I snatched Gloria's phone from her hands and pressed the account. Tons of videos and covers were uploaded onto the channel, the last video uploaded was about a month before Annabeth came to Canada. I pressed one of the videos and watched it play.

"Hey I'm Annabeth! That's Meghan, Travis, and my dear dear and very secretive Max!" Annabeth said cheerfully

"And where The Singers' of The Palace!" they all said in union

Max... Max was someone in her band! Later on I learned that Max was there drummer and from what I could tell was Annabeth's boyfriend. Always going up to her and hugging her and messing with her but not talking much.

"Alright, Annabeth. If you got a big record break but they only wanted you and your voice, what would you do?" Travis asked

Annabeth smiled and pulled them close to her

"I would turn them down cause anything official that gets us attention, we do together!" she said with a big bright and slightly crooked smile

I paused the video just as the bell rang and students came into the classroom. Gloria and I walked out of the classroom to get to our own, the whole time I was completely baffled.

"Wait... The reason why Annabeth wont join is because of her band back home?" I asked in reassurance

"Yep" Gloria responded

"Well then, I've got an idea!"
