Abs
I quickly knocked on Lori’s office door before I walked in. Lori had gotten so fed up with her boss at the resteraunt that we bought it from him and she took over. It’s doing much better since she took over.
“Hey Lori, I got the info you wanted.” I said as I walkd inside. She held up one finger for me to wait because she was on the phone.
“Alright I’m done. Now what did you say?”
“I got the info you wanted.” I handed her a thick manila envelope full of magazine articles, newspaper clippings etc.
“Excellent. Thank you so much Abs.” She said as she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me.
“So why did you want all that info on Addie?” I asked her as she began to look through them.
“To humiliate Grace. I told you this before.” She simply stated.
“I still don’t get what Addie has to do with any of this.”
“I’ll explain it to you one more time.” A smile crept across my face as I learned of the plan.
“You’re awful.” I told her when she finished explaining.
“I know, but I can tell you’re dying to help.” I nodded my head and smiled. Yes I was dying to help.

“So Kelly you want to tell me why you guys have suddenly taken an interest in Grace?” I asked her once I opened the door. For the past few weeks either Kelly, Val or Lori have been with Grace everyday and it was beginning to make me nervous.
“We’ve always liked Grace. We’ve just never chosen to show it before.” Kelly said. Just then Grace came down the stiars and the two were out the door before I could say anything else.
Eversince we found out Scott and Addie were coming everyone’s been acting strange. Grace was suddenly everyones best friend. And no one would tell me what was going on.
I decided to find out what was going on. I picked up the phone to ring Sean. He would know what was going on and I could easily blackmail him.
Scott
“Addie come on, let’s go. We’re gonna miss our flight.” I yelled toer. We were flying to New York, staying a couple days there then flying to London.
“I’m trying to hurry, but I have a lot of stuff.” She replied.
“Well hurry. I like New York. It reminds me of London.” London hadn’t been there for awhile. At least a couple months. And I was really beginning to miss Val. We had decided to call it quits because of the distance. But I still loved her and was beginning to think about moving back to London.
“Alright I’m done.” Addie came out of her bedroom hauling 3 huge bags.
“What’s in all those?” I asked her. Sure we were going to be gone a long time, but has she ever heard of doing laundry.
“Stuff.” I shrugged my shoulders but helped her carry them out to the car.
“Have you heard from Ritch recently?” Addie suddenly asked me on the way to the airport. This surprised me so much I choked on the drink I was drinking.
After I was done with near death experience I asked her way.
“Well because I’m gonna need an escort to the premiere and you’ll be taking Val and I’m sure J has a girlfriend and I really need an escort. I mean I can’t go alone can I?”
“No, I suppose not. Don’t worry though, we’ll find you someone.” I reassured here. We hadn’t really heard much from Ritch. After Five broke up and his break up with Billie he went off by himself and became a hermit of sorts.
And if Addie was beginning to ask about Ritch then she really must be worried about something. And I was determined to find out what.
Ritch
I sat at my fishing pond when I heard a car pull up and someone get out.
“I hope its not those dang salesmen.” I muttered to myself. Those salesmen always came up here. But I had gotten pretty good with a slingshot thanks to Lori and Abs. Well Abs mostly, he had come up here one time and taught me how to use one.
“Richard Neville get out here right now!!!!” I heard a woman scream. Boy were these salesmen getting pushy. I reached down for my slingshot and crept towards the front of the house.
“Ritchie! If you don’tget out here soon we’ll turn Five on!!!” I knew that voice.
“Abs!” I yelled running to the front of the house. And I was right. Standing in front of my shack were Abs and Lori.
“Ritch, you look awful.” Lori bluntly stated. After I moved to my little shack I kinda forgot about shaving, bathing and cutting my hair. Oh and hair dye, forgot about that too. My hair was now my natural color. Oh and I had forgotten about lipgloss. My lips must look a fright.
“Yeah well you know I don’t get too many visitors.” I explained. I went over to hug the two but they backed away.
“You stink. You have to at least showere before I let you in the car.” Abs said.
“Why do I need to get in the car?” I asked the two.
“We’ll explain everything in more detail later. But first let’s get you cleaned up and ready to go.” Lori told me as they led me into the house.
