Chapter 8 Joe

Today was our Disney concert, but the only issue that was filling my brain was her. All I could think, eat, breath, live, had to do with her now. Demi and I had grown a part because of my obsession with this girl. We were still dating, but I have lost a little interest in it. I think she has too. Hopefully she has a dream guy as well. I don’t want to hurt my best friend.

 

I let out a heavy sigh as I pulled my Ipod out of my tight skinny jeans pocket. I started to untangle the ear buds when Nick sat next to me. “What’s wrong bro?” He asked me kindly. He was always there for me.

 

“I’m just,” I started but then changed my train of thought, “Just a lot on my mind, that’s all.” I explained. Pretty much lying to my brother.

 

Nick nodded as if he knew exactly what I was talking about, “About your dream girl?” Okay, he did know exactly what I’m talking about. I looked up at him innocently with a fake half smile on my face. Nick let out a sigh and sat back on the couch. “Just remember, you are playing with us tonight. We are playing for our fans.” Nick encouraged.

 

“What, if she’s there?” I asked him. I sounded like a damn five year old. I couldn’t help it though, I felt as if she was indeed going to be there. What if she was? I would sing right to her. Smile at her. Flirt with her. What if she wasn’t there? I would be bringing up my hopes to finally find her, just so they can be crushed again. I never had this strong of a feeling though. Before a concert I prayed she’d be there, front row but so far, nothing. Now though, now I know, without knowing, if that made any sense.

 

“Then try to talk with her, I guess.” Nick smiled. “Your smooth with the ladies. You know how to treat them and talk to them.” Nick shrugged, “Do what you feel is right. Follow your heart.” Nick and I fist pound then he stood up and headed off towards the small bathroom of our tour bus.

 

He was right; I should follow my heart. I was scared to death at the moment. But I will conker that, for her. I placed the ear buds into my ear. Break Even by The Script, started to play, my head rolled back. I wanted something uplifting, not a song talking about heartbreaks.

 

We pulled up to Disney. I was usually the over excited brother, but this time my brothers were excited. They wanted to go play at the water parks before the concert. I, on the other hand, wanted to sleep. We exited the bus; I was still half listening to my Ipod as Kevin tried to talk to me about how much he missed Dani. I just nodded and went “mm” or “mmhhmm” to him. I was only half listening anyhow.

 

When we got to the hotel I headed straight to the bed. I wanted to sleep. I wanted to dream. I wanted to dream of her. Nick frowned and Kevin sighed.

 

“Come on, bro?” Kevin said.

 

I looked up at him, I didn’t want to do anything but sleep. “Go on guys.” They looked a little unsure, “I’m fine.” I chuckled. “Go on, I am just wicked tired. I swear.”

 

“Alright, Joe.” Nick shrugged and then they both left me alone in the hotel room. I headed to the bathroom. I splashed water on my face and then I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I wondered where she was, whom she was, why she was always on my mind? I needed her and I felt as if she may need me. Was she real? Was she a dream?

 

I sighed as I closed my eyes and then opened them to look at myself again. I imagined her standing next to me, holding my hand. Goosebumps were now revealing on my arms, but even more revealing on hers. Her skin was pale compared to mine and her beauty was unique, but still very much beautiful. I closed my eyes again to imagine us together. Standing there, laughing, talking, playing with each other’s hair. My eyes opened again. She wasn’t there of course so I sulked sadly to my bed. I lay down and closed my eyes again.

 

She was there in my head, once more, lying next to me, one of her hands on my hand; her other hand in my hair. Then I scooted closer to her, kissing her forehead. I fell asleep like that, imagining her next to me.

 

A few hours later I woke up to someone jumping on the bed. I sleepily looked up to see Kevin’s bright face smiling down at me. “GET UP, IT’S CONCERT TIME!” He yelled as he then jumped off the bed.

 

“Fine. I’m up! I’m up!” I yawned before sitting up in bed. Nick laughed slightly at me.

Kevin then ran to the bathroom. “NEED TO PEE!” he yelled as he ran.

 

“What did you feed Kev?” I asked Nick who stood in the room looking innocently at me with his hands in his pockets. “Some monster…” He shrugged.

 

“WOOO PEEING TIME!” Kevin screamed from the rest room. Nick and I looked at the bathroom door, and then I looked back at Nick.

 

“And how much cans did he drink?” I raised an eyebrow.

 

“Er, he had like, four cases.” Nick grinned. “And…” He trailed off.

 

“And what?” My eyes widened.

 

“About six red bulls.”

 

My mouth fell open, “No wonder why he needed to pee! At least he’ll have tons of energy tonight.” I shrugged.

 

“Yeah.” Nick looked back at the bathroom door, “Enough for all three of us.” he smiled, after a few seconds his smile faded. He looked back at me. “How are you?”

 

“Feeling refresh.” I said, trying not to tell him that I had a dream about being with her again, with my mystery girl. He knew I had a lot of dreams about her, just he didn’t know I had them everyday.

 

“Okay.” He said a little unsure. “Good, now get dressed and ready for the concert.”

 

I did what my wiser, but younger brother told me to do. I got ready for the show like nothing was bothering me. After I showered, comb my now very short black hair, and got dressed I sat on my bed waiting for my brothers to finish up. When they were done it was show time! Well, sound check, of course… then show time!

 

I grabbed my guitar, and I headed onto stage with my brothers. I toned the guitar in my hands as I walked on. I think our first song was going to be paranoid, not sure why I had the guitar then. I toned it anyways. As I made it to the stage I started to strum it while walking out, the girls always went crazy for me playing instruments; since I was the one usually just singing. I smiled at the crowd as they all screamed.

 

Then a “WOO JONAS” rung through my ears. I looked at a rather tallish girl. When my eyes hit her she pushed shorter her friend forward. I looked to her friend and froze. My smile faded and my face went blank. That was her! That was the girl! That was my girl! When her eyes met mind I think something inside me went off. I had to know her. Know her name. I could tell by her expression she felt the same for me. Our eyes were locked together as if we were to look away for just a minute, everything would disappear, and we would disappear. Was I in a dream? My eyes scanned the audience for a moment then my eyes fell back to her eyes. I couldn’t be, usually we were alone. I swallowed hard. What do I do now? Nick told me I’d know, to follow my heart. My heart was pounding too loud for me to hear it clearly. My mind was drawing blanks.

 

Then I got an idea, Disney was about making dreams come true. They have wonderful people working here; perhaps I can hook something up before I have to leave tomorrow night. Perhaps, we can finally speak?
