Chapter 3:

-The Story-

Nate had just gotten onto the bus with everyone else. The concert had been so great. Shane fell of the huge rotating stage and Jason almost died laughing. Ah, it was a good night. Nate had gotten a few good laughs at his brothers. And he saw Mitchie fall over laughing at her boyfriend. What could be better than that? Nothing. Nothing is better than watching then Shane fall, Jason practically die, and Mitchie rolling in the floor laughing at Shane falling. That also made him forget about a certain girl in New York waiting for him to call her.

Nate waited on his bed till he knew that Shane, Jason, and Mitchie were asleep. He didn't really want them to know that he was up that late or they would get really suspicious of him. He pulled out his cell and dialed a number that had gotten very familiar to him in the last few days. "Hey, It's Nate."

The next morning Alex woke up to Max jumping on her bed. "Ugh, what do you want Max?" Alex asked as she threw her pillow at him.

Max stopped jumping and picked up her pillow. "Its time for school. You're late and so am I since Justin never came home last night." Max said as he hit Alex in the head before leaving the room.

Alex groaned, the teachers were going to be pissed since she was late, again. This is all Nate's fault. Every time I am actually waiting for him to call he always forgets about me, but he always randomly calls me at like 2am and gets mad when I don't answer. Alex thought as she got ready for school.

Alex walked down the stair about 9 minutes later. Max was looking at his watch in the kitchen. "Wow, 9 minutes, that's a new record for you." Max said as he got off the stool and grabbed his backpack and walked out of the door with Alex, who looked like she was practically dead.

"How late were you up last night, waiting for Nate to call?" Max asked as they walked the 6 blocks to school.

"Oh. *Yawn* about 3 am. But I did get to study for next weeks exams so it wasn't a total waste of time." Alex said while yawning again.

"Right..." Max said in a sarcastic way. He didn't mind Nate but he hated it when this happened. Alex would wait up almost all night and then Nate would totally forget about her.

Mitchie woke up to Franklin jumping on the bed. (The reason I put Franklin in my story is because Frankie's real name is Franklin. I looked in the Burnin' Up: On Tour With The Jonas Brothers book. :)) "Gosh, Franklin stop jumping and go wake up Shane." Mitchie said while pushing him off the bunk. She had the bottom bunk so he was just pushed into the floor.

"Fine. But can I used the water balloons?" Franklin asked while getting off the floor.

"Ask your mom first. And make sure I'm out of the way before you unleash them all." Mitchie said as she got out of the bunk.

"Okay, Mitchie." Franklin said as he ran to where his parents were.

Mitchie laughed as she grabbed a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom to take a shower like she does every morning. And the guys have learned that from the time Mitchie gets up to about 1 and a half hours later to not expect to get into the bathroom. She had to do her make-up, change, do her hair and other things.

This is also the time of the day that she and Alex text each other. Alex is normally in a study hall at this time so she can text, although she would be texting even if it wasn't in study hall.

Mitchie: Hey Lexi. Hows school?

Alex: Horrible. I was yelled at for being late. Max and I had to walk to school because Justin is an ass.

Mitchie: Oh, so Nate called you last night?

Alex: No, I was waiting up for him till like 4 am.

Mitchie: He didn't call?

Alex: Nope. The only good thing that came from me staying up late was that I got to study.

Mitchie: That's weird that he didn't call you. I could have swore that I heard him talking to someone last night.

Alex: Well if he was it wasn't me.

Mitchie: I'll text you later k?

Alex: Alright, I'll just study. :(

Mitchie: Aww. Its okay. Maybe you will actually get an A on your exams this year.

Alex: -_-

Mitchie: Sorry. Well Bye.

"Nate!" Mitchie yelled once she put her phone up.

Nate groaned as he walked into the bathroom, with Shane snickering behind him, "What is it Mitchie? You woke me up, well you and all those water balloons."

"What happened to you calling Alex? She stayed up till like 4 am waiting." Mitchie said glaring at him. You could easily tell she was pretty pissed.

"Um, I-I um," Nate said studdering.

"Nice." Shane said behind him. Shane quickly shut up after receiving a very threating glare from Mitchie. "I'll just be playing with Franklin. Bye." Shane said running off.

"Give me a good reason why you didn't call Alex?" Mitchie said grabbing her straightner. "Or the curls get it."

"Um, well, funny story, I um, forgot to call and fell asleep." Nate said rubbing the back of his neck. He always did that when he was lying.

Mitchie gasped, she knew he was lying, all because he was rubbing the back of his neck. "You're lying! What are you up to Nate Gray?" Mitchie said circling around him.

"I'm not up to anything Mitchie. Gosh." Nate said looking at her with a serious look on his face. He had mastered looking serious. That's how he got through all those interviews asking him a ton of personal questions.

"Right. I'm on to you Grey. Next time Alex is up after 2 when she is waiting for you, your afro is going bye bye." Mitchie said snapping the straightner in his face.

"Right. Can I go now?" Nate asked just staring at Mitchie. No emotion on his face.

"Yeah, I have to shower and stuff. I'll be out in about oh," Mitchie said looking at the clock. "and hour or so. Save me some breakfast." Mitchie said shoving Nate out of the bathroom.

Nate walked back to his bunk and yelled, "Shane! You have one crazy girlfriend." Then he went back to sleep.

Alex was so happy the school day was finally over. Only a week until the whole school year was over and she was forced to work everyday of the summer. The only good thing about this is Justin is leaving to go to Space Camp so he will be gone all summer. Alex skipped over to her little brother Max who was giving her a look.

"What have you been smoking?" Max said looking at her like she was high.

"Ah, nothing. I just realized that in a week Justin will be gone for 3 whole months!" Alex exclaimed jumping up and down.

"Wow." was all Max could say. Sure he was happy that his asshole of a brother was leaving but he wasn't happy dancing in the street about it. "Let's get home before you get hit by a car." Max said dragging Alex down the street. Gosh why am I the only mature child in my family. I should be out there skateboarding but no, I have to work at the sub shop. Max thought as he and Alex finally reached the sub shop.

"Great another boring day of working here." Alex said groaning as she walked upstairs and put her stuff away in her room. She would have to start studying for the upcoming exams tonight, she needed a pretty good grade on the exam to keep a B average.

"ALEX! GET DOWN HERE!" Alex's father yelled from downstairs. Alex sighed and walked downstairs with her cell phone in hand.

"I'm here, I'm here gosh. You don't have to worry I don't skip out on working like some people." Alex said looking at Justin and then her parents.

"Alex, you and Max are working alone again tonight. You're father and I are leaving to go see a movie." Alex's mother said before grabbing her purse and walking out with Alex's father.

Alex groaned before walking behind the counter to where Max was standing. "You cook, I'll take orders okay?" Alex asked.

"I know the drill Alex. When mom, dad and Justin are all gone, you take orders and deliver food while I just cook." Max said walking into the kitchen.

"Hopefully today is a slower day." Alex said with a sigh before going to take the orders of the customers already waiting.

Mitchie sat on the couch and watched Franklin and Shane attempt to play Rock Band on Expert. Mitchie was getting a good laugh. Franklin was playing the drums perfectly while Shane was sucking on the guitar.

Nate walked in the room and just looked at them. "Wow." Nate said very sarcastically, "A rock star-" Nate started.

"Pop star." Mitchie corrected receiving a glare from Shane.

"Anyways, is sucking so badly at Rock band. This is why Mitchie calls you a pop star Shane." Nate said sitting on the couch.

"I quit." Shane said throwing the plastic guitar in the floor and walking over to the couch where Mitchie was sitting. "You know I'm a rock star not a pop star. I thought you stopped calling me that after Camp Rock."

"Nope. Heck, even Tess calls you a pop star when we text." Mitchie said laughing.

"You still text Tess?" Shane asked.

"Yup, we're BFF's. Well Alex is my main BFF but then Tess is second. Well she is tied with Harper but yeah, we are really close friends." Mitchie said before receiving a text. "Ooh. Its either Tess or Alex." Mitchie said quickly grabbing her phone.

Tess: Hey Mitchie. How's being on tour with Connect 3?

Mitchie: It's awesome. Shane gets beat in video games by a 8 almost 9 year old every day. Today was Rock Band.

Tess: lol wow. I wish I could see that. I might be going to Connect 3 concert in New York. We are going to be there for a while. My mom is doing something here, idk. But we are staying the whole summer. Aren't you from New York?

Mitchie: Yup I am. My best friend ever, Alex, she is there right now.

Tess: Oh, I've heard you talk about her before. Isn't she dating Nate?

Mitchie: Yup. She is going to the concert in New York also. She would be on tour with us but she works in her family's sub shop.

Tess: Awesome. I might stop by and talk to her. What's the sub shop called?

Mitchie: Waverly Sub Station. She is the brunette that is always working.

Tess: Cool. Don't her parent's work?

Mitchie: Ha. That's a good one. Her parents never work. They always make Alex and her little brother Max work all the time.

Tess: Oh my word. I feel so sorry for her.

Mitchie: Its really sad. Because she has an older brother who is a complete ass that never has to to work.

Tess: That's horrible.

Mitchie: It is. Justin get to do whatever he wants while Alex and Max are stuck working all the time.

Tess: Aww, poor Alex. But it kinda reminds me of Cinderella. When she turns 18 her Prince Charming will sweep her away from the hell of a life she lives. Aww, I can just imagine Nate saving her from that horrible life.

Mitchie: Shane just read what you said, he says, 'Ha like Nate can be anyone's Prince Charming.' He said that out loud now Nate wants to know what we are talking about. So I'll text you later after Nate forgets about this conversation. But if you go to Waverly Sub Station you should try to be friends with Alex.

Tess: Alright I will Mitchie. Bye. Tell Shane, Nate, Jason, and Franklin I said bye.

Mitchie: I will. Bye.

"You need to stop reading my text's." Mitchie said glaring at Shane.

"Sorry." Shane said getting off the couch and getting some cookies. "What were you two talking about anyways?"

"Tess might be going to come to your concert in New York. She is staying there for the summer. So we got on the subject of Alex." Mitchie said getting up and taking Shane's cookies.

"HEY! Those were mine!" Shane said whining.

"Well they are mine now." Mitchie said putting one in her mouth.

"Meanie." Shane said before sitting back down on the couch.

Sorry this took so long. My friend and I are starting a story together on . She is a writer there. She wants me to do stories on there so i said i would do one if we did it together. So yeah, I'm also working on the new chapter of Fall For You. I had been postponing writing it because i didn't know which ending to use. So i talked to the same friend and she picked the 3rd idea i had. She liked it better.

So, some of you wondered how Tess fit into the story. Well now you know.

Please review. Oh and if you read stories on you should check out my friend. She has a Christian story, a vampire story, and 2 werewolf stories, well i think one is a werewolf story, I'm not so sure. But read her stories. She would love it if she got more readers. Her name is Haybell. Well her read name is Hayley but her nickname is Haybell. She lives on a farm so yeah you kinda get the nickname now.

Oh, school for me starts next monday. So, idk if that will really effect my updating. I wrote so much faster on school nights. Oh and i go to a Jonas Brother's concert Sunday. I'm so excited. It was one of my birthday presents that i got in like March.
