Chapter 7

I woke up to the faint sounds of the guys performing, I slowly opened my eyes to Chelsey watching them on an early morning show

"Oh you suck" I managed to say before I curled back into a ball
"It feels weird waking up somewhere that's not our apartment in Boston or home in Texas" Chelsey said
"Mmmm" I moaned in agreement
"We need to find a way to make it up to them" I muttered finally waking up

After showering and fully waking up we headed downstairs

"Good morning Miss Denise"
"Good morning Mrs. Jonas"
"Good morning girls"

We sat at the bar stools in the kitchen talking to her as she made breakfast

"This kinda makes me miss home"
"I know what you mean" I replied

We talked with Mrs. Jonas until the guys came back. After breakfast Kevin, Nick and Frankie took Chelsey sight seeing since she had never been to California before.

"Can you drop me and Annie off somewhere first?" Joe asked

Kevin agreed

"Kevin stop right here" Joe yelled as cars honked he opened the door
"I'm not getting off in the middle of the highway" I replied
"Trust me" he replied getting something out of the trunk and climbing over the metal guard

I hesitantly followed as Kevin took off. We walked up the hill and past some trees

"Joe what are you -" I began to say before being overwhelmed by the scenery "Where did you find this place?"
"We sorta just found it" he replied
"You and the guys just decided to walk up a hill on the side of a highway?"
"No" he laughed "See over there, that's the entrance" he pointed past the lake where a few people were canoeing
"Am I the first girl you bring here?"
"Yeah" he replied

I smiled to myself and looked down, I couldn't believe he trusted me enough to bring me here

"You know how last night you said you've always wanted to be serenaded?"
"Yeah…"
"This is from our upcoming movie Camp Rock" he then began singing and playing a guitar

"You're the remedy I'm searching hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Painting all my dreams the color of your smile
When I find you I'll be alright
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, your not that far

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you"

I smiled as I listened taking a few pictures here and there, Joe was really starting to get into his song when it happened

"I love you" my eyes grew wide realizing what I had just said

There was a long pause after Joe had finished the song I stared down at the ground trying to avoid direct eye contact

"I love you"
"Huh?" I asked raising my head
"I love you" he replied planting a light kiss on my forehead, than cheek and then managing to get my lips

I sat outside enjoying the ocean view while dinner was being prepared at the Jonas house

"Is this seat taken?" Kevin asked
"Go ahead" I replied
"Thinking stuff over huh?"
"Yeah" I replied
"Kevin?"
"Yeah"
"I told him I loved him" I said turning to look at him
"Do you really?" he asked
"More than he knows"
