PROLOGUE

Joe and Carly have been dating for 2 years. Carly is now 20 and Joe being 2 years older than her would then be 22. She joins them on tour, trying to get away from her disapproving mother. Her mother thinks of Joe as a Skanky pre Madonna, though she has never met Joe she insists on making such conclusions. Carly goes to visit her mom once in a while; after all it is her mother. Joe doesn't care though, I mean he cares if her mom likes him, its just he tries, and her mom doesn't care. He loves Carly non-the less. This is their story and how the twist and turns in their lives end up being all-worthwhile.

CHAPTER 1

Our story begins backstage at a Jonas brothers concert. The boys just finished up and Joe is searching for Carly, asking every person on the stage crew he can find. Little did he know, Carly was standing right behind him and at that moment she poked his sides and he jumped. He turned around and Carly started laughing…

"That was funny… I wish I had a camera… you should have seen you're face." Continues laughing.

"It's not funny…try embarrassing…"

"Oh shut up and kiss me already…" She kissed him and Rob, the bodyguard, soon interrupted them.

"Hate to bother you two, but we gotta get back…Nick and Kevin and everybody are waiting in the car already…"

"Oh…that's cool…we're coming…" Joe replied.

Carly and Joe walked out hand in hand, Rob protecting them from screaming mobs of girls. He opened the door for them and they climbed into the SUV.

"What took you guys so long?" asked Kevin with one eyebrow raised. "I mean Joe is usually the last one out but come on…"

"I couldn't find her."

"He cut out the part where I poked him and he jumped…it was cute…"

"Uh, yeah…"

He gave her a they-didn't-really-need-to-know-that face. She just giggled and kissed him. He smiled and quickly got over it.

When they got back to the hotel everyone said good night and figured out a rendezvous spot for the morning. Carly and Joe went up to the room and got settled. They lied in bed and stayed up watching VH1 music videos until they fell asleep. The next morning Carly was woken up by a phone call…from her mom.

"Who is it?" Joe said attempting to wipe the sleep from his eyes. It wasn't going to well.

"It's my mom, go back to sleep…"

"No Problem…" Joe said sarcastically before he snuggled up in the blankets and fell back asleep.

Out on the balcony Carly was talking to her mom.

"Hello Mother. Why are you calling me at 6 am? Little early don't ya think?"

"I just got a worry all of the sudden, I don't trust that boy."

"Are you serious? This is why you woke me up?"

"I'm just asking. Nothing… happened right?

"MOM! You did not just say that! Geez… How many times do I have to point out the whole purity ring thing? Even if he wanted to he wouldn't."

"Well, like I said I don't trust him. Its his fault if you're pregnant."

"Mom, you are being ridiculous… I'm going back to bed. It's like you don't hear anything that I say."

"I do hear you. But, honey, he's a celebrity. Look at Britney Spears. She said she was going to stay pure and she obviously lied."

"She is totally different. Joe is a good person. I wish you could see that like I do."

"I don't need to."

"Ugh! You are so frustrating! Look Mom, you don't get to say who I do and do not date because I am twenty years old and I can look after myself."

Her Mom sighed.

"That doesn't mean I can't keep an eye on you and make sure you are safe."

"Bye mom."

"Bye sweetie, love you!"

Carly hung up.

She walked back inside and found Joe sitting up watching TV.

"All I heard was 'MOM! You did not just say that' and I knew it was about me."

"Don't worry about it Joe…once she knows you she will have to take back everything she has ever said about you."

"She doesn't trust me, she doesn't know me, and she doesn't even want to meet me to give me a chance to prove that I deserve you! Do I really seem that bad?"

"No, she's just stubborn. Don't take it personally. You have off for the weekend right?"

"Where are you going with this?"

"You should come home with me and surprise my mom so that she has no choice but to meet you and learn to trust you. Joe you knew this day would come."

"Yup, I knew, I just never thought I would be this nervous. Does it have to be this weekend? Maybe another time when—"

"No. This weekend. The sooner the better."

Joe stood up on the bed and dramatically died…

"No!"

Carly laughed.

After the CD signing that afternoon they headed to Pasadena to go visit Carly's mom.

Oh, boy…
