Chapter 1 : Somewhere in the future

-September , 2023-

"I used to live in Beauforth , North Carolina . A place where the air always smells of pine and salt and sea.

For many, days and nights are spent fishing Pamlico Sound or crabbing the Neuse River.

While the ocean may be the focus of daily labor, churches have always tried to be the focus of life.

When I lived here, there were eighteen churches within town limits alone. From each corner, four churches face each other. The Fellowship Hall Christian Church, the Church of the Forgiven People, the Church of Sunday Atonement, and All Saints Church.

They sponsored pancake breakfasts,rummage sales, car washes, and softball games.

"You'd think that all the people

here were friendly, welcoming,

open-hearted..."

The voice is gentle. Slightly Southern in inflection . Even if you don't believe it Joe Jonas is nowadays 33 he looks urban, prosperous, well-groomed -- but retains his boyish whimsy and sense of irony . He is still on the car just with s cell phone and overnight bag on the seat next to him.

-continue-

"... and that money or family

background or education or luck

didn't matter."

Then he reaches out to adjust his side mirror, revealing a simple gold wedding band on his left hand. He turned the corner and slows in front of the huge Southern Baptist church .

"But they did matter. They mattered to everyone. Except for Lilly Truscott…"

He turned the car into a driveway just past the church

and heads for a cluster of buildings. Behind the

buildings, a cemetery. The car pulls up in front of the old parsonage -- it's a different color than he remembers.

"... Astronomer. Actress. Skate girl… Believer in God …"

The boy hesitates a moment, then climbs out of his car , heads up the walk and onto the front porch. Presses the DOORBELL. It RINGS inside. Joe is edgy, unsettled.

"... Believer in me..."

Now let me tell you the real story , where it all started and mainly why Joe Jonas , rockstar , member of the Jonas Brothers , a wealth kid who seems to had it all , ended in North Carolina , a long journey from California to boring North Carolina (a/n: don't try to insult anyone , is just a story!) . But It's not about the place , maybe it's about people , but mostly is about life . What do you have to do that your parents suddenly decide that you have to move? Why do you have to go? Why even bother in listening when I have it all?

JOE'S POV

Last night was a blast . First my brothers were having fun in some lame Disney Channel party…yes I said they were having fun .ME? Not at all . I was tired to attend those kids party but I had to go for the publicity…yes the fucking publicity .

When the party ended I got a called from my girlfriend Becky , she was a new Disney Channel up coming star , we dated 3 months , she call herself my girlfriend but I never admitted it .

We went to this party that according to Becky was going to be the party of the year . We arrived to this club in L.A , the place was full of people and full of people .We shouldn't be there , we shouldn't be drinking alcohol too , in front of the law we were kids…but who cares? Who cares about the law? . I didn't .

Suddenly Becky kissed me , I kissed her and both of us made our own way in the club…from that point I don't remember anything , anything except that going to that club is the main reason that why I'm here in this situation , sitting on the kitchen , with my brothers in front of the table and my parents looking at me with anger but mostly regret in their eyes…oh yes right now my head is broke in two , I'm pretty hung over , and the only thing that I have no doubts It's that I'm in a fucking mess…I shouldn't have gone to that club , that's for sure .

After 2 minutes , all eyes on me , my father broke the silence .

-So? Did you have a great time last night Joseph?

-Can you just go to the point…I'm pretty mess up right now dad

I said with an irritated tone , I looked at Nick , then at Kevin , they were both pissed of . Then Kevin hit me on the back of my head .

-Hey man! There's no need to be rude!

-There was no need to get in that club either my dear brother !!.

His voice was clearly no soft as usual , Im sure that I never saw this Kevin .

-Stop it!

Said my mother.

-jeez…thanks mom .

I answered resting my head on the table .

-Last night was enough Joseph…

My mom said , I could feel she was angrier than usual , Kevin was more pissed , but Nick…he was half ashamed and angry…angrier than ever . He usually was the one who stick up for me , but right now , no he was not .

-God! …I just had some drinks with some friends and Becky…I'm 18 not a baby…

Now I'm the one who is pissed . We had this conversation like what? 15 times already? .

-Becky that's the first problem -said my dad .

-Do you want me to stop seeing her?…Fine I will , now I want to sleep at least what is left of the morning .

I answered and started my way to my bedroom but my mother shutted the door in front of my face .

-No , this conversation is not over .

She said , I rolled my eyes , silence again . My dad said something .

-Boys , please let´s go upstairs .

-What? , but dad…

My dad cut Kevin off .

-Just do it!

Kevin and Nick left the room and of course I didn't have the courage to look at them in their eyes , not now , maybe tomorrow .

-So this is the major problem son.

When I finally had the courage to look straight at my parents my head broke for the second time , my dad was right now I was in major problems , but the little bag full of some white substance was just the tip of the iceberg .

-I can explain dad…

-How long?

-dad…

-How long?

-just a couple of months…

Another lie , the real fact is that im into drugs since I was 17 , since the band succeeded. You may ask why…Im not really sure , maybe it was too much to handle .

-What are we going to do Paul?

My mom asked with concern .

-I know exactly what are we going to do Denise…

I was sitting there in shock , still daydreaming about last night .

-Do you remember my cousin from the south Denise?

-Laura? Yes of course…

-So Joe is taking a break…with her.

Ok I could see a big punishment in the future , like no TV for a week , no Becky , no more new shoes , party but…going to Aunt's Laura …I never saw that coming .

-DAD! WHAT ABOUT THE BAND?

-Oh , don't worry the band is taking a break too .

He left the room like nothing , now it was just mom and me .

-I'm not going mom…

I said stronger than ever .

-You are going Joe , there's no second choice …and the boys are going too .

-Shit mom , can't you just put me in some stupid rehab camp or something?KEVIN AND NICK WILL HATE ME!

-No I can't . You should have thought it before , Youngman .

Then she left .

Now I was alone . Me and my brothers were in the car to North Carolina . Not only I was alone , I have been deny of music , talking with my "friends" , away from parties , away from California , away from the world .

What about the Jonas Brothers? They were taking a break .

What about the Burning Up tour ? Temporarily canceled .

What about my brothers? You now? not Nick and Kevin Jonas…just Nicholas and Kevin , my brothers . Well they were dragged to North Carolina with me , and they were still mad about the consequences of my behavior .

What about me? Maybe the press is right , my head is full of air , nothing else and nothing more . I cannot defend myself…cause what I did was fun until this day .

I grab my Ipod and reach some songs , not our songs , they are childish . I found Sweet home Alabama but there's nothing sweet in this situation and we are not going to Alabama , thank God , so I changed it and play California by Lenny Kravitz…that is the only song that can give me other things to think about…I closed my eyes just about when I heard Nick saying that we should be singing Hollywood here we come , not North Carolina here we come . I don't care I just close my eyes and enjoy the music …cause California is the only thing I'm going to miss …

I was converted to the other side

From the day I'd gotten there

met a girl who took me on a ride

I was young I had no cares

When I moved to California

California

She played me records I had never heard

While we toked on purple hairs

Who, Zeppelin, Beatles

Kiss, The Rolling Stones

While we played guitars in air

When I moved to California

California

California

California love!

Venice Beach and P.O.P.

Station 26 was free

Jeff Ho and Horizons west

Dogtown Skates they were the best

Hang Ten, O.P. were the brands

Don't forget the two-tone Vans

I miss the Apple and my schoolyard boys

Nothing ever will compare

But now I skateboard With my surfer girl

And we really are a pair

When I moved to California

California

California

California love!
