Joe Jonas sat in his room. He hasn't seen or spoken to his best friend in two long years. He missed her more than anything. Joe thought she needed space he found out about her dad through Nick who found out from Ryann. Joe talked to Ryann and asked how Carolyn was doing. Ryann had told him she wasn't speaking to anyone and that she had isolated herself into her room. Joe understood that she was hurting, but why was she avoiding him?

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Joe called.

Nick opened the door and stepped into the room.

"Hey dad wants to talk to us about our tour coming up."

"Alright I'll be right down."

Nick nodded his head and walked out the door.

Joe sighed as he rolled off his bed and proceeded down the stairs.

He sat down at the kitchen table with the rest of his family. His dad said the same stuff he said before the "Hannah" tour. Then he threw in something different.

"We start the tour in Wyckoff" (A/N I think that's how you spell their hometown)

"Seriously?!" Joe said excitedly.

"Yes, Joe, seriously. When we get there we will visited the Burns and see how they are doing the kids are more than welcome to come to the concert, but they are also welcome to come along with the tour since its summer."

"Cool!" Frankie exclaimed. "I haven't seen the Burns since I was six!"

"You're only eight now." Kevin pointed out.

"Well when you're six you're still a little kid."

The Jonas family rolled their eyes at Frankie. The boys couldn't wait to see their old friends, but little did they know that their old friends have changed. A lot.

Burns Household

Carolyn burst through the door. She hadn't been home for about two or three days. This wasn't unusual now. Carolyn had spent more time with her friends then with family. This was her way of hiding her pain.

"I'm home!" She called out.



"Hey, Mom is working a double again tonight and same with Kev." Ryann said to her.

"Whatever." Carolyn replied.

This wasn't unusual either. Since their mom was only a teacher she took on a couple other jobs and so did Kevin. Kevin felt as though he should take over in his dad's position since he was the only guy left in the house. Carolyn understood what Kevin was doing, but she knew no one could ever take her daddy's place.

"I'm getting a shower then going out." She said coldly to Ryann.

"Wait! I hate being home alone and you haven't been around for a while Car. Can't we spend some time together like we used to? Just like old times." Ryann asked hesitantly.

"The old times are gone, Ry. Get used to it, I have." Carolyn said as she marched up the stairs. She knew she shouldn't have treated Ryann like that. Ryann was so fragile now she went through a couple eating disorders and some depression. Mostly Ryann was happy when she talked to Nick, Joe, Kevin, or even Frankie.

Carolyn hadn't talked to Joe for two years. She knew his new number now, but never had any courage to talk to him. She missed him a lot. She also missed her dad. But she was determined to stay strong. She had to be for her family she was their rock, or at least she used to be.

Tour Bus

Joe sat anxiously on the bus. He couldn't wait to see Carolyn and the rest of her family. He was ecstatic and hyper. He looked over at Nick who was either texting the following people: Miley, Mandy, or Ryann. Probably Ryann he knew Nick was as excited as he was they couldn't wait to see their friends.

2 hours later.

They pulled up to a familiar house the boys sprinted out of the house and knocked at the door. The door began to open revealing Ryann. Joe thought she looked a lot tinier then when the last saw her when she was 12 she's fourteen now and looks like she weighs about 70 pounds.

"Oh my gosh!!" Ryann exclaimed she threw her arms around Nick, then Kevin, and finally Joe."I can't believe you guys are actually here. Frankie you got so big!"

"I know!" He said and Ryann giggled.

Ryann led them into the house.

"Where's the rest of your family?" Mrs. Jonas asked.

"Oh! My mom and Kevin should be home real soon. I don't know about Car she hasn't been home in about two days."She said simply.



"Have you called the police?" asked Mr.Jonas.

"Oh no! This has been a common thing with Car for a while now. I tried getting her to stay home a couple days ago and she didn't like that." She said sadly.

"Why?" Joe asked he felt as if he didn't know this girl Ryann was talking about.

"She doesn't really tell us.."Ryann said. The door flew open.

"I'm ho- oh my god!" Carolyn said as she saw the Jonases standing in her house.
