Chapter 8- I don't own anything. I only made up the story.

When Joie got home they were still having dinner. She tried to sneak upstairs but got caught.

"Where have you been Bethany Joy Lenz?" Her mother exclaimed

"I'm sorry mom James and I fell asleep at the beach." Joie said

"You were with that boy again!" Serenity said

"What boy, who's James?" Alan her father asked

"Yes because were friends, and his name is James Lafferty. He's my co-worker and friend on One Tree Hill." Bethany said

"Oh." Alan said

"Go upstairs and change then come back down." Serenity said

"Okay mom." Bethany said heading out of the room and upstairs

Once she got to her room she went to her lap top and IMED James.

BJLangel4eva- hey James

B-ballstarJL- hey Joie did you get in trouble

BFLangel4eva- not really

B-ballstarJL- ok, do u wanna hang out 2morrow we can go 2 the movies and dinner

BJLangel4eva- ok I just have 2 check w/my parents

B-ballstarJL- ok

BJLangel4eva- brb Ill ask now

"Hey mom, James wants to know if I can go to the movies and dinner tomorrow, do we have anything planned?" Joie said walking downstairs and into the dining room

"No you may go." Serenity said

"okay thanks mom." Joie said smiling before going up to tell James

BFLangel4eva- ok back and I can go. Pick me up 5?

B-ballstarJL- perfect c u then by Joie

BFLangel4eva- ok by

"Bethany get down here!" Serenity yelled

"Yes mom, I'm coming." Bethany replied coming down the stairs

"Hey Joie long time no see, congrats on getting Haley by the way." Vincent said

"Thanks." Joie said sitting down

"Will someone tell me more about this James person?" Alan asked

"Not much else he's my co-worker on One Tree Hill and my friend." Joie said

"He seems very nice, cute." Serenity said

"Tanks you was that so hard?" Alan asked

"Haha. So are you guys just friends?" Vincent asked

"We're hard to explain." Joie said

"Yeah one minute they said they were just friends and the next I found htem making out." Serenity said

"What?" Alan asked

"I t was nothing." Joie said

All of a sudden her cell phone rang.

"Thank god…I'll be right back." Joie said

"Hello?" Joie said walking to her back porch

"Hey Joie." James said

"Hey James." She replied smiling

"So, you didn't get in too much trouble right?" James asked

"Nah." Joie said

"I had a good time today." Joie said softly

"Me too, we should do this again." James said

"Ooo, can we go to the beach tomorrow instead?" Joie asked

"Sure, that sounds good; I'll pick you up at 2:00 then?" James asked

"Sure, sounds good." Joie said softly

"Well I better let you go, See you tomorrow Joie." James said

"Okay bye James." Joie said both of them hanging up

"Hey mom James is picking me up at 2 tomorrow instead we changed our plans we're going to the beach." Joie said

"Okay." Serenity said

"Sounds like you really like this boy." Alan said

"Yeah, I do." Joie said blushing

"Wow Bethany Joy Lenz blushing over a guy, I never thought I'd see that." Vincent said teasing her

"Haha, so how's your non-existent love life?" Joie asked smirking

"Actually I have a girlfriend. Her name is Anne Lundon." Vincent said

"OH, how long have you guys been going out/" Joie asked

"Um about…3 months in 4 days." Vincent said

"What! And you never told me your most bestest friend in the world

"We haven't seen each other in a while so I could never tell you." Vincent said

"Fine" Joie said pretending to be mad

3 hours later…

"Night mom, night dad." Joie said

"Night honey." Serenity and Alan responded

Joie locked her door and turned on her computer. She highlighted 5 names and created a chat.
