chapter 1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jessica woke up in her newest room. Looking around everything seemed so impersonal. The walls were a pale green, Jess hated the color green. The curtains on the window were a powder blue that she didn't mind. The blanket that she had slept under matched the curtains. The only other things in the room were a small TV and her three suitcases. Everything she owned or valued were in those three suitcases, with out them her life would be gone.

As she headed down to have breakfast she thought about what she would do today. When she got into the kitchen she stopped. She said good morning to Kelly and Adam, her newest foster parents. Adam and Kelly were new to fostering. They were in their late twenties and had only been married three years. It seemed strange that Jessica, a 13 year old girl, had been placed with such a young couple. Kelly handed her a plate with scrambled eggs and toast on it. Jess hated eggs but she didn't want to sound rude so she ate them. The home was kind of lonely because for now she was the only child there. She was Adams and Kelly's first foster kid. When she finished breakfast she asked if she could go to the store and maybe get one or two posters to put in her room. They agreed and asked if she wanted a ride. She denied the offer saying that she would rather just walk around to get used to the new town. They agreed and she went upstairs to get ready. About an hour later she came down stairs in a yellow skirt and a cute pink tee-shirt with a picture of the Jonas Brothers on it. She said good bye then headed into town.

When she got to a store that she saw a lot of kids going into she decided that she wanted to check it out. She walked in and noticed it was a music store. Then she realized there was a huge crowd of girls some her age some older and some younger. All of them were screaming hysterically. Jessica calmly pushed her way threw to the front where she saw three young boys sitting behind a table. They were the Connect 3! When she realizes it was them she began screaming like everyone else. She was pushed up to the table that they were signing things at. She was standing in front Nate, the youngest of the three performing brothers. Behind him were his mother and father. When she realized she was right in front of them she screamed. First she asked all of them to sign her tee shirt, good thing she wore a Jonas shirt today she thought. Then she asked if they could sign a poster for her and they did.

"What would you like us to write on it?" Nate asked smiling at her.
"Oh Um well could you write *To Jessica Samantha a great fan!*" Jess asked.
"I can do that. Do you want me to put your last name too?" Nick asked looking at her.
"Well that would be great but I don't have a last name." Jessica said putting her head down. For some reason Mary, Nate's mother seemed to be interested in Jessica.
"Why don't you have a last name?" Mary asked Jessica.
"I have been in foster care my whole life. I was never given a last name just a first and a middle, Jessica Samantha." She answered matter-of-fact.
"When were you born?" Mary asked getting very serious.
"may 7 1997, why do you ask?" Jessica said wondering why Nate was asking her these questions.
"Are you living around her right now?" Mary asked Jessica.
"Yea I am staying over at 78 Franklin Ave. It is just a few blocks away." Jessica answered still unsure of what was going on.
"Would you like a ride home? This signing is over in 10 minutes. And we are leaving out by that way so it would be no bother." Mary asked still very interested in Jessica.
"Wow a ride home with the Connect 3 would be awesome! Thank you!" Jessica said back screaming very loud.
"Okay well you come with me, and boys hurry up we are leaving in ten minutes!" Mary said putting a hand on Jessica's back leading her out the back to a red v8 jaguar. Ten minutes later Shane, Nate, and Jason walked to the car with their father, Brother Jeremy, and Big Tony.
"So we are giving you a ride home?" Nate asked sliding into the car taking the seat next to Jessica, who started to scream but bit her lip instead.
"Um, mhhm, I guess you are. Thank you!" Jessica said staring at Nate in amazement.
"Well we are glad to be of service to you!" Joe said sitting down next to Nate.
"So have you lived here long?" Jason asked taking the seat in front of Jessica
