Introduction
This is based on Big City Dreams - NeverShoutNever!
Greensville, Arizona. A small hick town in the middle of nowhere filled with horses and under a constant battle with the stifling heat. A place where dreams never happen, and people literally just come to get away from the hype of everything and fade away into nothingness. It was here that Imogen Delfino was born, onto a ranch owned by her parents. Right next door to her lived a young male born in the same year as her, and they became close friends immediately. Jesse Rawth and Imogen had a great childhood together, both playing on the ranch every day, riding horses around the town to give them some exercise, racing, talking about anything that popped into their minds.
High school came and went, the two meeting new friends, but never breaking apart, and it was only a matter of time until Imogen began aspiring for something else than this little town in Arizona. Singing had always been a passion of the young girl and when she had the chance to leave Greensville, move to New York to start a singing career, she instantly took it. Of course, she was going to miss her family, and Jesse of course, but this was maybe her one and only chance. So she packed her bags, petted each and everyone one of the many horses on the ranch, kissed her family and friends goodbye, and headed away at the age of seventeen.
New York made the girl famous, having been singing quietly to herself as she walked down the busy street to an audition for a job singing at a nightclub when she was overheard by a talent agent. He soon signed her up to his record label, and her first song went global in a matter of weeks. With her new found fame, she met and fell in love with Ashton Hopkins*, the lead singer and guitarist of another famous band.
Something though makes her miss that small town in Arizona, and the now twenty one year old woman decides to take her new boyfriend home, unknowing that he is thinking of proposing to her. But, as soon as she arrives there, a surprise to her family - he's there. Jesse, working on the ranch when she arrives. He was employed there by her parents, needing all the help that they could get around the old ranch, and Jesse was happy to help them. Things have changed; his looks for one - he's incredibly handsome now, and her jaw almost drops to the floor when she first sees him for the first time. Jesse's never forgotten about Imogen - even though he's seen her in the paper with Ashton and heard about her new glamorous life style in New York. Jesse is still mad for Imogen, and that will never change.
Slowly, they become close again through the time that Immy and Ashton stay there, whilst Ash's eyes stray to Jesse's little sister Needless to say, when it comes to the time that Ashton proposes to Imogen, she's well under the influence of her best friend.
So, who to choose?
Superstar, rich and handsome Ashton?
Or Caring and heartwarming Jesse?

She checked her clock. Yep, 4:30 A.M. That was the time Jesse got up, in order to take care of the animals on the farm, and then head to the Delfino's. She lay there, thinking. Well...she wasn't getting back to sleep any time soon. She pushed herself up on her elbows. "What do you think guys? Wanna go for a ride?"
Both dogs began panting happily. She smiled. "Alright...but we have to help Jess first, okay?" She wriggled a bit, and both dogs got off the bed, allowing her to get out of it. Pulling on a pair of jeans and just a regular t-shirt, she pulled on her boots, and headed outside with the dogs. They bounced around her happily, Butch racing on ahead as he saw Jesse.
She grinned at her big brother as he approached. "Why you tell your dog to go watch me when I have Jethro, I'll never understand, Jess."
Setting
0.00 INK
Home. Arizona; The Grand Canyon State. Blistering heat, dehydrated days, and nights of no sleep. The red hot scenery of desolate land flew past the taxi as it drove into the small town of Greensville. All of the windows in the car were opened down as far as they would go, and as Imogen Delfino sat there in the car, her hands on her bare legs, she stared out of the window, her hair whipping around her already slightly sticky face. She hadn't seen this environment in over four years, the oldest cactus tree signifying their gradual movements towards the town, away from the bustling airport in Phoenix, and into a lesser known part of the state; a place with barely any connection to the rest of the country, except one road, leading in, and out of the town. The small town, it's main features being the stretch of stores along side the main road, which surprisingly went on for quite a while, and then a few little ones and a café or two hidden around the corner, and also the Delfino Ranch, was the place where she had been born, was raised, and then left, which now seemed like a life time ago. Her eyes flicked by, watching the trees and shrubbery grow slightly thicker as they came nearer to the entrance of Greensville.
Traveling in a private jet was always a good way to travel, since there was no-one to cough annoyingly through the whole trip, disturbing you, and the seats much more comfortable, and there was more leg room. Upon arriving in Arizona after the four hour flight from New York, both Imogen and Ashton were welcomed by a parade of paparazzi, which obviously, both stars had expected, and spoken about on the plane. With one hand wheeling her suitcase through the airport terminal, and the other clutching Ash's, Imogen quickly maneuvered her way out of the mass of press that were waiting there for them to arrive, and soon they were in a pre-booked taxi, making the rest of the journey to the small town. Surprisingly, only some of the reporters that were waiting at the large airport tried to follow them, but after the first fourty-five minutes, they had given up, and turned back to Phoenix. The drive from the large city to Greensville was another painfully long two hours, and by the time that the sign for the town hit her eyes, Imogen let out a small sigh of relief.
Long journeys had never been anything that the girl enjoyed, much because he was a very active and fidgety person, who hated to sit in the same place for too long. Getting her hair and make-up done for concerts was always a nightmare, and something usually ended up going wrong, because she had to move. Even though she couldn't stand up and properly move around like she wanted to, Immy had been shifting herslef in the taxi, moving her hands from the window, to rest in her lap, to clasp Ashton's for a while, before now going back to resting in her lap. She had also shifted her clothes around a little, taking off her small jacket, and then changing her high heeled shoes that she had been wearing, to something more suitable for a ranch. She had also tied her hair up into a high ponytail now, keeping the long brunette locks off of her neck, which felt much cooler now that the cool air coming from the wide open window was able to reach it.
Suddenly, the car lurched to the side, and the young woman's breath caught in her chest for a moment, before she realized what had happened. The driver had almost passed the small dirt track, leading up to the Delfino Ranch, and he had been quick to take a left, just being able to drive up the road without having to turn around once more. When her heart was back at a steady level, Imogen turned to give Ashton a small smile, one filled with a little bit of anxiousness at the thought of returning home, and introducing her boyfriend to her parents, and it was also showing some happiness, at the thought of just the two of them, getting away from the hustle and bustle of their normal lives in City of Dreams. They were together, and they were going to be somewhere that the press couldn't find them, and it would be... peaceful. That was something that Immy was hoping to get out of this stay with her parents. She wasn't sure how long they were going to stay yet, so she had left her schedule pretty much open with her manager, and she was sure that Ash had done the same. There would be no-one to harass them here, no-one to get involved in their personal lives, except her family of course, and they would just get a little while of peace and tranquility. At least that was what Imogen hoped. She hadn't even dreamed of the thought that her parent had hired a certain someone to work on the farm, and how much of an impact he would cause in her life when they met up again after four years apart.
But then, a deep voice pierced her ears, breaking her out of the strange sort of day dream that she seemed to be in.
"Miss Delfino, Mr Hopkins; we're here. I'll just get yours bags out of the trunk" The driver said, turning around with a large smile, obviously happy with the fact that he had two rich superstars in his car, and was probably going to get some sort of tip for driving so far out, even though the fare was already paid, before climbing out of the car. Immy turned to give Ashton one last grin before unbuckling her seatbelt, and climbing out of the car. She made her way around to the back and took her suitcase from the taxi driver, who had just pulled them both out, and she gave him a $50 note that she had taken out of her purse. "Thanks again for taking us this far. We appreciate it." She smiled, before the driver just gave them both one nod and a smile each, took the money and was then zooming off, back to proper civilization.
With her suitcase in hand, Imogen turned to her love with a large smile, and then looked back at her home. They were pretty much standing in the middle of the ranch, with the horse paddocks all around them, the horses all out in the heat, grazing on the hay that had been put out for them, or lapping up the water that was also left out. The large farmhouse was in front of them, looking much more majestic than it actually was, because of the fact that it was surrounded by barns and stables. Suddenly, a large dog bounded over to them, seemingly having come from nowhere, yapping at the sight of his long lost friend. "Hey, Maxie!" Imogen smiled happily, standing her large suitcase up, and then bending down so that she could stretch the collie behind his ears. She was surprised that Max stiled remembered, her, as he had been just a puppy when she had left to move to New York. Still with that large, content smile on her face, the brunette stood back up again, taking her suitcase in her hand, and then moving towards Ash again.
"Ready?" She smiled, holding out her hand lovingly, as they prepared to make their way towards the large house.
