Gary banged on the glass window to catch my attention.
He nodded and I returned it.
Serena is now 7 months pregnant. We've decided to call the baby Justin, the middle name runs in Serena's family so the middle name is Bieber. Justin Bieber Ketchum.
I walked out of the singing room and into the control room.
Serena, Scooter, Rachel, Mom, Gary and Step Dad were all there.
"So it's finished" I smiled at them.
"You bet, Ashy boy." Gary gave me the thumbs up.
Serena walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek.
"I'm proud of you" Serena whispered in my ear.
"Thanks"
"You've done good, Ash. You going to the grammy awards?" Scooter pulled out a contract.
I rolled my eyes and smiled.
I took the paper and grabbed a pen out of my pocket and signed it.
"You'll win, you always do" My step dad put his hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks, Ste" I nodded at him.
Rachel tackled me into a hug.
"Ash, you won't believe what happened today in school." She looked excited.
I sat down on a chair and she sat on my knee.
"I got a boyfriend!" She exclaimed.
"Yep, and she won't stop going on about him" My Mom rolled her eyes.
"Aha, first of many to come, Rach" I winked at her.
She looked confused by that but she'll understand one day.
"He's really awesome, he can sing too!" She had stars in her eyes.
"Well, maybe one day me and him will collab and sing" I chuckled slightly.
She nodded and hopped off my knee.
"Ashy boy, you going prom?" Gary questioned me.
I had completely forgotten about that.
"You bet" I smiled at him.
Serena nodded.
"I'd like to speak to Ash alone for a minute" My Mom spoke up.
I nodded and everyone walked out of the studio.
She kneeled down and grabbed my hand.
She had a light in her eye.
"Your father would be soo proud, Ash. He's watching over us, you've done him good. He believed you could do it and you did!" She pulled me into a hug.
I didn't say anything besides smile.
She got up and left the studio leaving me sitting there.
I picked up the album cover. I'm satisfied
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day of the Grammy awards. Over a million people were watching me perform tonight.
Including Serena and little JB.
Over 1.50 million people have bought my album, this is my first real performance in years, if I'm going to be honest I'm nervous as hell. I've been working out like hell, I no longer have a six pack, it's more of a 10 pack now.
The lights shined on me...
(PLAY DA SONG)
(Mid-performance- in his mind)
They're all cheering for me, this feels so good. Is this forgiveness?
(AFTER SONG(S) HAS FINISHED)
They all screamed my name, I couldn't hold it in.
Tears started to roll down my face, all I could hear was screaming, and more screaming.
Not a single 'boo'
I fell to my knees and started crying like a little girl.
"T-Thank you all soo much, I-I know I messed up and I probably will mess up again but I-I'm only human, but seriously I can't thank you all enough for the second chance." I cried even more.
It was time for someone else to sing so I got up took my hat off and threw it to the crowd. Then I walked off stage satisfied with my performance.
I sat backstage with many other celebrities.
"You did good, Ash" Drake walked over and fist bumped me.
"Thanks, Drake you too killed it." I winked at him.
I took a seat and we all had our conversations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once everyone performed it was time for one of us to win the Grammy Award out of the 50 people that performed tonight there was a 1/50 chance of me winning.
"So, this man, we watched him grow up, we all watched him mess up, we all forgave him for his mistakes. The man that just recently sold over 1.50 million copies of his album. It's ASH KETCHUM!" The announcer shouted.
"W-Wha..?" I said in shock.
Everyone backstage started cheering my name, they weren't even jealous, they all looked proud.
I smiled and stood up and walked back onto stage, the crowd started screaming my name again.
The announcer passed me the Grammy trophy, I exchanged it in a handshake with him. I didn't think I would win so I didn't prepare any words.
Once the crowd's screams had died down, I decide to speak.
"So, I lost my father many years ago....he had always believed in me, he told me that one day I could be on the stage singing my heart out, and look at me now. He was telling the truth. But, it wasn't only him that encouraged me to get to where I am today, it was many others. My Mom, Dawn, Cilan, Kenny, May, Drew, Scooter, Usher, Rachel ,Little JB, Gary Oak and last by not least...my beautiful girl Serena-"
The crowd screamed from the cuteness of my speech so far, but it wasn't finished
"Serena is my purpose, all of you are my purpose, we all have a purpose. You have just got to find it, if you can't then YOU be your purpose. You never give up until it's over." I raised one fist in the air.
They all started cheering my name.
I couldn't be more happier.
"What do you all say? Should we throw it back to 'Cold Water?'" I shouted.
They all screamed, in other words, that's a yeah.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm exhausted" I lay back on my bed.
"I bet, all that jumping around would kill me" Serena chuckled slightly.
She put little JB in his cot.
"He's cute when he sleeps" She looked at him.
I didn't have the energy to look at him.
So, I nodded.
I closed my eyes and was about to pass out until Serena stopped me.
"You think the night is over?" She gave me a 'what are you doing look'
"Yeah, what else can I d-"
Serena took her top off along with her bra.
"Oh okay" I pulled her into the bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 Months later.
"Happy Birthday, Serena!" Rachel tackled Serena into a hug which she returned.
"Thanks, sweet pea. What did you get me then?" Serena chuckled.
"This! I made it in school!" Rachel held out a bracelet. A bracelet that had pasta? different colored rubbers, pen lids, and many other stuff too.
I could tell Serena didn't want to wear it but she did.
"Thanks! It's really cute" Serena looked at the bracelet.
Rachel giggled.
"Hey Delia" Serena hugged my Mom.
"Hey" My Mom smiled.
"Urm sorry to ruin the moment but, we have to get going" I smiled.
My Mom took little JB out of my arms and me and Serena made our way out the door.
"Tonight will be awesome" I exclaimed.
"Yep, just like High School it will be" Serena agreed.
We both hopped into my car and made our way to the beach, it took 2 hours to drive down there but we managed.
"Perfect timing, it's 2am" Serena got out of the car.
We could see the small bonfire on the beach under the pier.
I too got out the car.
Serena went to make her way on to the beach but I stopped her.
"You promise me you'll never leave me?" I looked into her eyes.
She turned her body so it's facing me.
"I promise, you're perfect, you're a great father, and soon to be great husband" Serena smiled at me.
I nodded and we both made our way to the bonfire hand in hand.
"Hey everyone" I waved to all of our group.
"Hey!" "Sup" "Ashy Boy"
Could tell who said the last part.
We reached the bonfire and everyone was there.
"Tonight is going to lit, literally" Kenny pointed at the fire.
Everyone laughed.
Me and Serena sat down on the rocks along with everyone else.
"Your performance at the Grammy's was amazing, Ash. You killed it!" May praised me.
"Thanks, I go on my world tour soon" I smiled at them.
"Nice" Misty said.
I looked at the fire, I could feel the heat blowing in my face.
"Isn't it weird" Drew spoke up.
"Hm?" Everyone said in union.
"We're all still in contact even with a world famous superstar, we're here" Drew looked at the ocean.
"He's right" Cilan smiled.
"I'd never ditch you guys" I smiled at them
"Just because I'm famous doesn't mean I'm not human, I am still the same boy that I was when I first came to Vaniville" I looked up at the stars.
"We're all a big family" Dawn smiled at me.
"Right" I smiled back.
Serena put her arm around mine, placing her head on my shoulder.
"Ash, do you think you can beat my high notes?" Drew laughed.
"I doubt it" I laughed along with everyone else.
"Is it too late now to say SoooOoOooOrry" Drew voice cracked which made us all laugh.
"Wow nice job, man show me how to sing" Gary laughed.
Drew went red "Funny guys" He chuckled slightly.
"Ashy boy, wanna give them a small preview of our next song we're working on?" Gary smiled at me.
"What song?" Serena looked at me, "It's called Company"
"Sing it! Sing it!" May pleaded.
"Urm..."
"C'mon" Cilan laughed.
"I bet the song sucks like him" Misty shrugged.
"You suck!" I replied back.
She started laughing, so did I.
"Alright here it goes."
"Can we.....We keep....keep each other Company.....ohhh...maybe we...can be...can be...be each others Company, oh Company...be each other's lonely nights...be each others' paradise...painted a picture for my fame-"
"That's enough" Gary cut me off.
I guess I got carried away.
"That sounded really good, can't wait for the full version" Dawn smiled.
"Yeah, it's awesome" Kenny added on.
"Can we...we keep... keep each other's compaaaaanny" I high noted the last part.
"You're really amazing, Ash" Serena pecked me.
I blushed slightly.
"Cuties, how's JB" Dawn asked.
"He's awesome, going to be like his dad." Serena looked at me.
I didn't know how to respond to that because I'm not his dad.
I don't think anyone else knew how to respond to that either, so we all stayed silent. It was nice when it was silent all you could hear was the fire crackling.
"It's okay, I know I'm not his father, but I will act like one." I spoke up.
Everyone still stayed silent.
"Let's get the beers" Gary opened his bag and passed everyone a beer.
"Let's see your new tattoo, Ash" Misty asked.
"Sure" I stood up and pulled my shirt up.
"Isn't that where...." Gary trailed off.
"Yeah, where Calem stabbed me." I looked at the tattoo.
"It's a great way of covering it" Kenny smiled at me.
"Purpose, what do you mean?" Cilan chuckled at his reference.
"Serena that's what it means." I looked at my future wife.
"Awww" Everyone said in union.
"Who is ready to go for a swim?" Dawn jumped off and quickly took off her clothes revealing her swimming suit.
"Yeah!" Everyone shouted.
Everyone did the same.
The group started to run into the water besides me and Serena who were behind a little.
I grabbed her wrist before she could run.
"Serena Yvonne, you're my purpose."
