Chapter 1: I'm Sorry…

"Addie! Wait!" he yelled out into the silent night.

She was running, running away from her problems, trying to runaway from life in general. She had no idea where she was so she collapsed into the soft grass. Tears ran down her face, tasting salt on her tongue, bitter of sorrow.

Addie could hear footsteps arriving closer as someone approached her. She raised her head to see Big Rob.

"Addie everyone's worried, you shouldn't run off in the dark in an unknown town at night." He scolded.

"Screw it!" she yelled frustrated at everything as she roughly wiped away her tears.

"You don't mean that." Rob sighed.

"I can't and I won't go back…" she yelled.

"Addie, everything seems bad now, but sleep on it." Rob suggested.

She gave a halfhearted shrug as she slipped on her sunglasses shielding her red puffy eyes and pulled on her hood.

Addie stopped outside of the door to the bus; Rob wasn't going to let her go anywhere no matter how badly she wanted to disappear into the darkness. She opened the door as she walked straight through the crowded living room heading towards her bed.

"Addie?" a few voices asked.

She held her head low as she slipped onto her bunk pulling the drapes, secluding herself from everything on the outside.

"Ads, talk to me." Came Bridgett's voice.

"Go away, B." Addie moaned, throwing her head into her pillow.

"Not until we talk." B decided. "I'll stand out here all night, Addie; you know I will."

Addie threw open the curtain glaring at B, but allowing room for her to sit down.

"Talk to me." B demanded.

"You know I hate talking about my feelings." Addie groaned.

"Too bad. Tell me everything."

Addie hadn't opened herself up in years, since she was thirteen, now four months from turning seventeen.

"Fine. You asked for it. My dad is a lawyer and lives in Orange County, he left when I was born. He was married with kids, had an affair with my mom, and because of that here I am. My mom got cancer, I was all she really had left and I, a 14 year old had to watch my mom die. She went into remission and we thought we had beaten it after fighting it for so long but it came back a month later in November. My mom passed away on February 26. I moved in with my Aunt Cindy, she was glad I got signed to do a 2 year tour, she's not the maternal sort, she'd rather go out and party until dawn the next day then take care of some orphaned teenager. One of my last relatives I still keep in touch with, Jason, my cousin, got sent to Iraq and his brigade already got hit by a road side bomb, he barely made it. And truly the only person that really understood it all I haven't seen since I was 14 because my mom sent him off to military school, my big brother. She let everything out between her sobs.

Addie slipped back on her sunglasses and tried to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

"I'm sorry…" B gasped pulling her into a tight hug.

Addie clung to her, letting her tears out.

B slipped into the kitchenette, grabbing a pint of chocolate ice cream.

Addie took it more than willingly, diving into the goodness.

"Ads, if there's anything I can do.." B began.

"I know." Addie smiled. " Just throw the tabloid away."

Addie drew the curtains again pouring herself into the ice cream.

-in the living room-

"Joe, go talk to her." B demanded with her hands on her hips.

"No, I screwed up…" he mumbled.

"Don't be a coward! I never thought Joe Jonas to be a chicken." B mocked.

"Joe, you know you owe it to her," Kevin sighed behind his book.

"I know, it's just, she already yelled at me…" he whined.

"Well, when a tabloid catches your boyfriend kissing Vanessa Hudgens, Hayden Panatierre, and your best friend, how would you feel? She was hurt, confused and angry." B tried to explain to Joe.

-Flash Back-

"Addie I really care about you." Joe gulped over his mocha Cappuccino.

"I get it really." She sighed wiping her watering eyes.

"It's just with AJ things are different." Joe tried to explain.

"So I was just a small ego boost to land you another girl." Addie shrieked.

"Addie please don't be like that." Joe began taking her hand in his.

"Whatever Joe, have a nice life." Addie scoffed pulling her hand away as she stormed out of the small corner coffee shop crying.

A month later her band, Honest Kiss, gets signed to do one of the biggest tours through Hollywood Records, a dream for them. But then so do the Jonas Brothers.

-End Flash Back-

It was two weeks into the tour and there was already major drama-rama. With Nick, Miley, Joe, AJ, and now Addie and Jake had been hit too.

Addie whipped out her phone as she dialed Jake's number.

"Hey babe," his smooth voice answered cool and collected.

"Don't you 'Hey babe' me, you jerk!" she yelled.

"What's wrong?" he asked playing the completely oblivious card.

"I saw People, Tiger Beat, Celeb-Weekly, I can't believe you would do this to me! We're through Jake! Done! I hate you and I don't think I'll ever, ever be able to forgive you." She hung up before she could listen to his groveling apology.

Tears wouldn't stop falling, she was never one to sit and cry over things that happened to her, but this was the straw that completely broke her down.

"Addie?" a smoothing voice broke the still silence.

"Go away Joe." She warned.

"Are you okay?" he asked sincerely.

"Yeah peachy keen." She scoffed opening her curtain.

"I'm sorry." He shrugged, Joe couldn't think of anything else he could say in this awkward situation. After not talking for a month and still not talking for another two weeks even though they were on the same bus caused major tension on the bus.

"No," she began, "I'm sorry for the last month and two weeks, I shouldn't be mad and you didn't deserve me yelling at you."

"You were upset it's cool." He smiled.

That smile could melt any girl's heart as Addie tried to not notice that smile.

"I just thought Jake was different."

"Obviously the guys a jerk and not good enough for you." Joe stated as though it was the simplest thing in the world.

"I guess he is. Ever since we got signed big about four months ago he's changed… like my fame is really his fame." Addie sighed.

"A fame free loader! I hate those." Joe laughed.

Addie smiled as Joe sat next to her.

"I'm sorry about AJ." Addie mumbled.

"Don't be, I mean really she wasn't worth it." He shrugged.

"But still you went through hell and I wasn't helping by causing all the extra tension and drama on the bus." She sighed.

"But we're cool now?" Joe asked.

"Yeah we're fine." Addie smiled.

Joe immediately brightened up to hear her say those words, he truly had missed her even though she had been right there, and she wasn't there to him.

Joe slurped half of his Red Bull as he glanced at her. It wasn't an awkward silence but a full, soothing silence.

Joe couldn't help but pull her into a tight hug as her head rested into his collarbone, nuzzling his neck. His strong arms held her tightly, as he kissed her forehead.
