Disclaimer: Bonjour everyone! LONG time since I've last updated. I'm terribly sorry for the long wait. I hope you like this chapter. I don't own any of the Jonas Brothers, the characters from Sonny with a Chance, or Hannah Montana.
Joe's P.O.V.
It's been fourteen days, eight hours, seven minutes, and two seconds since I last saw Lilly. And I miss her so much. Her beautiful face flashes in my head over and over again like a slide show. I want to hold her in my arms and press my lips against her rosy red ones. I've stayed clean for fourteen days, eight hours, seven minutes, and twenty six seconds, but I am so tempted to pick up the phone and call her. I dial her number over and over on my iPhone but I press "End Call" each time before it goes through. I've dialed so many times I'm sure it's so imprinted into my mind I'll never forget it again.
Finally I decide to stop torturing myself. I've been sitting in the same spot for fourteen days, eight hours, seven minutes, and forty five seconds now, my leg shaking uncontrollably, my fingers tapping against the desk, and my lips blurting out "Lilly" five jillion times. I gradually get up and grab the phone I threw against my bed. I dial in her number, and let it ring through.
Fuck! Right after ringing for God knows how long, I hear her angel-like voice, say "Hi, you've reached Lilly Truscott, I'm not at the phone right now so leave a message after the beep and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can!" As soon as I hear the beep I start talking to her pretending she's there.
"Hey Lilly! Long time no talk; I haven't seen you in so long and well… I think it's fair to say I miss you. We should really hang out, I mean we have a lot to talk about and stuff… So yeah, give me a call and we could make some plans maybe? Ok bye Lils"
I honestly think that that was the most embarrassing message I've ever left on someone's answering machine. Normally, I'm so cool, charming, and suave around girls. I can just say anything and they fall to their knees like jello. But Lilly's different, she makes me nervous. Not to mention she probably hates me right now. I mean who wouldn't after they find out I do drugs. Also, I'm a celebrity; I need to keep an image.
Lilly P.O.V.
I don't know what to think of the drop-dead-gorgeous Joe Jonas. I would have never expected that the child star Joe Jonas would do coke. Maybe he really was stressed out. I honestly didn't believe him when he first told me; I mean celebrities have it great. They have money, girls, everything they could dream of, what more could he want?
Speaking of the devil, my phone started ringing; a picture of him filled my screen. I took a second to smile at it and decided to let it go to voicemail. I wasn't going to just press the end button, because then he would think I hated him, which is basically the opposite of the truth. So I would just pretend I was in the bathroom taking a nice long shower or something.
"Hey Lilly! Long time no talk; I haven't seen you in so long and well… I think it's fair to say I miss you. We should really hang out, I mean we have a lot to talk about and stuff… So yeah, give me a call and we could make some plans maybe? Ok bye Lils" I heard a smooth creamy voice say from my phone.
"AH!" I screamed, the neighbors all heard me and banged on the walls but I didn't care. I had a DATE with one of the biggest names in pop history. I mean I like him a lot, but that nasty drug habit, it just has to go. I can't wait to tell Mil- my mom… Of course I would have loved to tell Miley, but she probably wouldn't even be happy for me.
I hailed a taxi and told him to take me to my mom's hospital. As I walked in the receptionist saw me and just nodded towards me. I guess I go there so often everyone already knows me. She didn't even stop me and ask me who I was and where I was going. I took the elevator to the fourth floor and walked straight to my mom's hospital room. She was up in bed and looking slightly better watching Oprah on her television. She turned her head towards me and gave me a weak smile. Well of course it seemed weak to me but it was the strongest thing she could muster.
I love my mom dearly so that's why I'm doing all this for her. She was a single parent and had such a hard time with me, it was the least I could do. Of course I gave her a hard time but that's what kids do, right? I thought I'd make it up to her now.
"Hey mom, I have some big news to tell you!" I said happily to my mom.
"Oh yeah? What is it? I can't wait to hear all about it" My mom said with as much energy as she could.
"Well… Long story short, I have a date!" I smiled.
"Oh my goodness, Lilly! I am so happy for you! I thought you'd never get a boyfriend with me in this condition but here you are! So how'd you meet the lucky guy?" She asked genuinely surprised.
"Well, it's a long story, I'll tell you some other time" I said trying not to tell her about Friskies.
"Oh, so tell me all about the guy" She said a little disappointed.
"Well he's really handsome, his name's Joe, I think you might know him" I said smiling.
"Well Lilly, it sounds like you're saying a little less than you know" She said and winked.
"I won't push it any more" She whispered. I smiled and gave her a hug. After a long talk I left to go back to my apartment. I decided it was finally time to give Joe a call.
"Hello?"
"Hey Joe, it's me Lilly, I got your message, I think we should hang out"
"Yeah definitely, I'll pick you up in say… two hours at eight thirty? We could go out to dinner then I want to take you to that carnival in town"
"Yeah sure, I feel like a teenager again."
"Yeah, so I'll see you later"
"See you. Bye"
"Click"
We both hung up and I decided to get ready. I took a quick shower and dried off. I searched my closet for even a sign of something pretty. Just my luck, my closet was filled with UGLY. Just then I thought of something, I dug under my bed for it… YES it was there. A gift Miley gave me a year ago; maybe, just maybe it would be a dress. I quickly opened the box, and there it was. There lay a beautiful cyan colored summer dress. Thank god it was almost always warm in L.A. I threw it on and straightened my hair. I put on light makeup and slipped on a pair of white sandals.
I practically skipped to the living room. I took a quick glance at the T.V. clock. One minute until eight thirty. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock. I felt like a teenager again, waiting for the cool guy to pick me up. Knock knock. I jumped to my feet and went to the mirror to straighten out my hair, I opened the door and saw a devilishly handsome man standing in front of me holding flowers.
"Wow Lilly, you look amazing" He said genuinely caught off guard.
"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself."
" Yeah, I brought you there" He said and offered the flowers.
"Oh you really shouldn't have. But thank you" I said and smiled as I got out a vase and some water.
"So are you ready?" He asked me.
"Yeah let me just go and get my purse" I said as I walked up to my room and got a white purse. We got in the elevator and he led me into his Mercedes and I got in.
"So this restaurant, it's fantastic, Lils, you're going to love it!"
"I'm sure I will, I know this is majorly random but you know what car I want?"
"Sure, tell me"
"I want a Volkswagen Beetle" (A/N: That's actually the car I want haha )
"And why's that?"
"Because they're really cute"
"So are you"
I just smiled for the rest of the car ride. This boy is almost perfect. He makes me forget about Miley, about my financial problems, and about my mom being in the hospital, and how nothing's going to be the same again. He makes me forget. Joe Jonas is my drug.
Joe's P.O.V.
Lilly's the most incredible girl I have ever met before. She makes me feel out of this world. Around her I'm certainly on cloud nine. I reached over to her face and brushed a lock of her golden hair out of her face. She turned and gave me a small smile and I flashed a smile back. She just turned away. Any other girl would have melted at the sight of one of my smiles. But not Lilly, she was different, and she's just the way I like them. The fire in her burns so much brighter than any other girl I've ever seen.
As soon as we got to the restaurant I jumped out of the car and ran to her side to help her out only to find her waiting for me already. I offered my arm and she took it as we walked into the restaurant. Dinner was pretty uneventful if you consider running into Lilly's ex-boyfriend uneventful. About ten minutes after we sat down a guy with a bowl hair cut came over to our table. Lilly looked up with the most surprised look on her face and she got up and gave the boy the biggest hug ever. I can't say I didn't feel jealous when Lilly introduced him to me as her EX-BOYFRIEND. Well to be honest I almost fainted.
"Hey, Lilly! What a coincidence running into you here!" Said her ex.
"OH MY GOSH! Hi Oliver! How long has it been?" Lilly said as she ran into his arms.
"Aw I missed you so much Lils!" He said as he hugged her back.
"We really need to catch up sometime Ollie!" She teased.
"Yeah we honestly do! Here give me your phone and I'll give you mine, let's exchange numbers" Oliver said excitedly as he handed her his phone and she handed him hers. They then entered their names and took a picture of themselves.
"I have to go meet up with someone, but we should hang out sometime" Oliver said with a smile on his face while walking out of the restaurant.
"Well that wasn't awkward at all for me"
"Oh, I'm sorry Joe, he's an old friend and I just had to. I hope you understand" She said slightly flushed.
"I wasn't complaining or anything, it's fine Lilly, really. I mean I would have done the same thing" I said.
"Ok, so what do you think you're going to get?" She asked me.
"I'll just get some pasta. I'm in a pasta-y kind of mood" I said.
"Yeah it look's good, I think I'll get that too" She said.
After dinner (which went by quickly after Oliver left) I brought her to a carnival that just opened downtown. As we stepped inside, I immediately felt like a little kid again. Lilly looked up in awe and grabbed my hand to pull me to the nearest ride. After walking around for a bit we stopped at one of those game stalls. I know it's a cliché but I need to win Lilly something. I held onto her hand this time and pulled her towards it. I dug in my pocket for a few bucks and the guy who worked there handed me three balls to knock down some jars. I threw them and thankfully I actually hit all of them. He gave me a big fat monkey and I handed it to Lilly.
"Aw thank you Joe!" Lilly said with a smile as she kissed me on my cheek.
"No problem" I replied with a goofy smile on my face.
I slid my arm around her with that smile stuck on my face. After going on every ride five times we decided to go on the Ferris Wheel. When we got on Lilly was amazed by how big the carnival was. She looked out and all of a sudden her face lit up. She saw that Oliver guy, and unfortunately so did I.
"Joe! Look! It's Oliver! I can't believe he's here too! We have to talk to him when we get off"
"Yeah I guess"
"Woah. You can see the entire world from up here!"
"Well not the entire world… but a lot of stuff"
"NO you can see the entire world Joey"
"Yeah sure"
Just then I saw Mitchie. She was hanging out with—
