Chapter 7: Leaving for the Summer Tour

We arrived at the spaghetti factory before the Jonas' so we put our name in and sat in the waiting room. "Guys, there she is!" I heard Joe say behind me. I turned around to see the Jonas family behind us.

"Long time no see," I said to Nick, giving him a hug.

We sat down at the table we usually sat at and got our drinks. "So," Nick said to me. "Is all of your stuff in your car?"

"Yup! Are we leaving straight from here?"

"That's the plan," he said, "I'm so excited. It gets really boring just being on a bus with your 3 brothers for so long."

"Hey!" Joe said.

"O, I'm sorry. I thought this was a private conversation," Nick said. "Plus, I wasn't like offending you or anything."

"Whatever," Joe said, and he went back to his discussion with Amy and Frankie about Webkinz.

Our food came shortly after. When we were done eating, our parents split the check. We walked outside. Kevin and Joe went to my car to grab my bags.

"Bye mom and dad, I'll miss you," I said, giving them both a hug.

"We'll miss you too," my mom said. "Call us everyday."

"OK," I said. "I'll miss you too, Amy."

"Can I sleep in your room?"

"No, you have your own room to sleep in."

"But Megan…"

"Fine, if you clean it before I get back!"

"OK, bye Megan, have fun!" she ran towards me and gave me a hug.

"OK, her stuff's in the bus," Kevin said.

Nick grabbed my hand. "Ready to go?" he asked.

"Yup," I said, smiling. I said goodbye to my family one more time and then I followed Nick onto the bus. Some of my stuff was in the same bunk that I had when I last when on the road with them.

"You ready?" Nick asked.

"Heck YES!"

"OK, so what shall we do our first night on the road?" Kevin asked.

"Hmm, lets watch Rent!" Joe said.

"We're thinking about doing Rent as our Fall Musical next year," I said.

"Really? That's sweet!" Nick said. "Are would you try out?"

"Yes!"

"For which characters."

"Umm, I think I would try out for Maureen or Mimi."

"You should totally try our for Mimi!" Joe said.

"Why?" Nick asked.

"Because she sings that one song Out Tonight! I love that song!" Joe yelled.

"Joe, we know," Kevin said, sounding annoyed.

"What is the other musical they were thinking about doing?"

"Wicked."

"That would be so cool!" Kevin said.

"Ya, would you try out for Elphaba?" Nick asked.

"Yeah, totally!"

"So, are we going to watch Rent or what?" Joe asked.

"No," Nick and Kevin answered. "We watch that like every night."

"Let's play guitar hero," Kevin suggested.

"You guys can," Nick said. "I'm tired."

"Megan?" Kevin asked.

"I'm actually tired too," I said, yawning. "Maybe later."

"Fine, well why don't you go to bed, Kevin, and I'll watch Rent."

Nick and I went to our bunks. "So, where do you play tomorrow?" I asked.

"Umm, I think we're going all the way out to Delaware."

"Really? I was totally born there! What city?"

"Wilmington."

"I think that's where it is. Do you have any friends down there?" Nick asked.

"Umm, I did, but I haven't heard from them in forever," I said.

"What are there names?"

"Umm, my best friend was Emma Johnson."

"Name doesn't ring a bell," Nick said.

"I really didn't expect it to," I said, laughing.

"So, when did you move to St. Louis?"

"When I was 5. I stayed in contact with her for about a year after that but that was really it."

I climbed into my bunk. "Goodnight," Nick said, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodnight," I said back.

I woke up the next morning at 8 to the sound of someone yelling, "JOE STOP!"

I slowly got out of the bunk and went to see what was happening. Kevin was sleeping on the couch. It looked like Joe was entertaining himself by flicking Kevin in the head.

I decided to just leave them alone and I went to get some cereal. Nick was sitting at the table talking on his cell phone. "OK, well see you then. I have to go, bye."

"Who was that?" I asked, sitting down next to him.

He put his arm around me. "Some…uhhh…radio people. They're coming to the show tonight."

"So, did you guys get enough milk in St. Louis?"

Nick laughed, "We better have," he said, getting up to go to the fridge. "YES! OK, do you want some?"

"Sure," we ate our cereal in silence until Kevin came barging into the room.

"JOSEPH JONAS! YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!" Kevin yelled.

"Kevin, what's wrong?" Nick asked.

"I didn't sleep at all! Joe made me watch Rent with him and he was singing the songs ALL NIGHT!"

Joe walked into the room, "Dude, I'm sorry," he said.

"YOU SHOULD BE! I GOT NO SLEEP WHATSOEVER!"

"Dude, calm down!" Nick said.

We all ate our cereal in silence. Mr. and Mrs. Jonas walked into the front lounge. "OK," Mr. Jonas said. "We have our sound check a little earlier today, at noon, so you should probably go get dressed now." We got dressed and arrived at the theatre an hour later.

Nick called someone on his cell phone. "Guys, I'll be right back," Nick said, and rushed out of the theatre.

"What was that all about?" I asked.

"Who knows," Joe said. I sat backstage and watched Joe and Kevin get ready for sound check.

"MEGAN?" someone yelled behind me. I turned around to see a girl my age running towards me. "MEGAN! IT'S ME, EMMA!"

"O my gosh!" I screamed and ran towards her. I gave her a hug and then said, "WOAH! I haven't seen you in like 10 years! How did you get here?"

"Nick called me and told me you would be here! I can't believe it!" Nick walked backstage.

"Nick, thank you so much!"

"No problem," he said, giving me a hug.
