I DO NOT OWN THE JONAS BROTHERS.
Alyson´s P.O.V
I woke up the next morning feeling incredibly sad. Maybe because it was my last day there before going to London, and I hadn´t seen Joe. It´s not like I wanted to, either. But it was killing me to have to leave him like that. I knew he was going to be all I thinked about in London. It´s like, I don´t even think we can be friends anymore. I just can´t stand it. Specially after everything that happened. I wonder if he really does, or did, love me, or maybe he was just playing with me. Would he really do that?.
Suddenly, I started crying. And I hadn´t even gotten out of bed. Great way to start the day.
I decided that I was going to have a day for me. Maybe go to a spa or something. Just relaxing.
I felt like starting my day jogging or something, since I woke up like really early. I changed into something confortable, put my hair in a ponytail, grabbed my Ipod and ran to the door. I left my mom a little note and left. It was a really sunny day, compared to the day before. I was really nervous, because I knew Joe usually jogged in the mornings too, and I didn´t want to see him. So I just jogged to Starbucks. It wasn´t that close, so that is really considered jogging.
I got there and ordered my drink. I gave my name and walked to some other spot to wait. Then Joe came back to my mind. Was I really going to leave without talking to him? I mean, spending 3 weeks mad at him, it´s fine, but when I come back, I´ll eventually see him. It´s like running away might help now, but I´ll have to come back sooner or later, and I´m not sure I can handle this. But I really need that time away. Fine, maybe I am running away, but what else can I do?
"Um, Hello?" A guy said waving his hand in front of my face and dragging me away from my thought.
"Oh, yeah, Hey" I said smiling confused.
"You wouldn´t happen to be Alyson, right?" He asked shaking his head.
"Um, I am. I mean, yeah I´m Alyson" I said weirdly.
"Well, Alyson, they´ve been calling your name for a long time now. You should probably go get your drink." He said laughing a bit.
"Last call for Alyson!" A very annoyed girl yelled.
"Coming!" I said and grabbed my cup. After that, I was walking to the door to leave, saw that guy again and he smiled and waved.
"Um, thanks" I said as I walked a little closer to him.
"It´s fine." He said smiling. "Want to join me?" He asked pointing at the chair besides him. I sat down and smiled back.
"So, Alyson, I´m Josh" He said smiling again. He had a beautiful smile, I must say.
"Nice to meet you" I said politely. Then I remembered how crappy I looked, all sweaty and tired.
"So, you live around here?" He said taking a sip off his drink.
"Um, actually I do." I said nodding. I noticed how cute he was. He had light hair, and green eyes. He was nothing like Joe, but he still was cute. We talked for almost an hour, before I realized what time it was.
"Omg, I have to go" I said looking at my watch.
"You´re leaving?" He asked dissapointed.
"Yeah, I´m sorry. It was fun, though. Thanks." I said as I stood up.
"Wait. Can we like, hang out some other time?" He said following me.
"Oh, I´m sorry. But I´m leaving tomorrow for London, to a sumer camp, and I won´t be back anytime soon" I said. He looked kind of shocked.
"Wellington Camp? (totally made up.Ha.) " He said excitedly.
"Yeah" I said confused. "How´d you know?"
He just pointed excitedly at his sweater. It had a big sign that said Wellington Summer Camp London. How did I not see that?
"Omg! You´re going too?" I said shocked.
"Yeah!" He said with a huge smile on his face.
"That´s awesome" I said smiling back
"Yeah, we´re like totally hanging out there, you know, you and me." He said and blushed.
"Totally" I said and walked away smiling. I walked out of Starbucks and my smile instantly faded away. I couldn´t be flirting when I still had "issues" with Joe. I frowned as I saw the clouds that were invading my sunny sky. Great. I thought as I walked back home.
"Alyson! I was so worried, where have you been?" My mom said putting her hands on her hips.
"Gosh, mom, I go out for a couple of hours and you almost call the police?" I said annoyed.
"No, I didn´t call the police. But I did call Joe. You should call him because he was very worried too." She said like it was nothing.
"You what?! Mom!" I said angrily and left.
How could she do this? And he actually pretended to be worried? Ugh. But I´m not calling him. He should get worried. He better suffer. But maybe Kevin and Nick are worried too. Maybe I should call them. I thought and grabbed my phone. A million missed calls. And surprisingly enough, none from Joe. Yeah, worried.
"Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Omg, Alyson are you okay?" Nick said, I could hear Kevin asking too.
"Yeah, I´m fine. I just left for a couple of hours and my mom freaked out."I said rolling my eyes.
"Oh, okay. We were really worried, but it´s good to hear your fine."
"Well, thanks, Nick. Kisses to your brother...Kevin" I finished so he wouldn´t make any comments.
"Okay, Bye" He said and hung up.
I went to take a shower, and changed into some jeans and a tee. I was finished with my packing, I had everything I needed, so I was pretty much ready. I had nothing else to do, so I went down to where my mom was.
"Hey, mom. Need any help?" I asked as I watched her typing and looking at a lot of papers.
"Actually, I do sweetie. Could you please pick a check from one of my client´s house? You can call Joe if you want to go together and..."
"Fine, mom. But stop talking about Joe, alright?!" I said. She gave me the addressand I headed to that house.
After a long walk, I finally found it. I knocked and waited. My jaw dropped when I saw who opened the door.
"You!" She yelled when she saw me.
"Julie..." I said confused.
"What are you doing here? You´re here to make fun of me? Well, congratulations. Now you and Joe can be together and do whatever you want. I don´t care, okay?" She said angrily.
"What? Julie I don´t..." But she cut me off-
"Just leave! I feel bad enough. Now you have to come and rub it in my face? It´s all your fault. I really thought I could handle it, but when Joe said he wanted to break up I..." And then I cut her off-
"You broke up?!" I said surprised.
"Like you don´t know" She said rolling her eyes.
"Um, listen Julie, I really had no idea, and I´m truly sorry. But I´m not here because of you. I don´t know if I got the wrong house but I´m here to pick up a check for my mom." I said seriously.
"Oh, well um... wait let me ask my mom" She said and closed the door. She left for like a minute, and then came back.
"Come in" She said, but I could tell she was not very happy about it.
Joe´s P.O.V
I actually fell sleep waiting for Kevin. When I woke up, I jumped out of the bed and went straight to Kevin´s room. He was still sleeping, so I guess it was pretty early.
"Kevin!" I yelled jumping on top of him.
"What!" He said, witout opening his eyes.
"C´mmon! Wake up! Tell me about yesterday! Why did you take so long? What did she say? Was she okay? Does she hate me?" I started talking impatiently and shaking him.
"Dude, wait! Slowly...!" He said getting up and rubbing his eyes.
"Okay. Now tell me EVERYTHING" I said trying to calm down.
"Um, well, she..."
"Yeahh?" I said impatiently.
"She´s fine. Well, she is pretending to be, but I know she´s heartbroken. That girl really loves you, Joe. And you are one stupid person." He said shaking his head.
"Don´t you think I know that? But, I have to talk to her. Maybe tomorrow I can..." And he cut me off-
"Um, Joe. She´s leaving to London tomorrow, 6 AM. I´m sorry." He said sadly.
"Oh..." Was all I said, and then left.
She couldn´t leave. Not like this. No. I had to do something fast. I couldn´t stand it, being that far away from her, and knowing that she hates me. I decided to go for a walk to clear my thoughts.
I walked for hours, and still hadn´t thought of anything. And to make it worse, I had a headache.
"Wait a second, I know this street" I said to myself, looking around. "Oh, yeah, this is where Julie lives." I rolled my eyes to my own thoughts and kept walking. "I hope she doesnt see me" I kept walking and saw her house. I had to do this fast if I didn´t want her to see me.I got pretty close to Julie´s house. I could already see it. And there was someone coming out of Julie´s door. And it was Alyson! "Oh, crap. She killed her." Was the first thing that ran through my mind.
My heart starting beating faster and faster. I couldn´t talk to her yet. "She looks great" I thought and then shook my head to clear my mind. "Okay, okay. I think I should hide. At least, until I think of something to tell her. No, I have to talk to her. Yes, I will. But wait, what is she doing there?" I started talking to myself like a crazy person.
I took a deep breath and decided to walk to her. Then I realized, my legs were not responding. I tried to move, but I couldn´t. I could hear my heart beating faster. I felt weak and from there, everything went black.
I woke up incredibly dizzy. Surprisingly enough, I was in my bed. My whole family was there, everybody distracted.
"Honey, you´re up! How do you feel?" My mom said touching my forehead.
"Okay, I guess. What hapenned?" I said confused.
"You fainted. In the middle of the street. And Alyson called us." Nick said doing dramatic pauses.
"I fainted? That... Wait! Alyson what?" I said shocked.
"Yep. She saw you half-dead in the street and called me. Coincidence?" Kevin said raising an eyebrow.
"Is she here?" I asked looking around.
"No, honey, she left ten minutes ago." My mom said. I tried to get up, but as soon as I did, everything became black again, and I fell right back in the bed.
"Whoa.." I said blinking a few times.
"No, Joseph, stay there. You should get some sleep, and don´t get up until you feel better. Now let´s go kids, get out so he can sleep." My mom said pushing everyone out. Kevin gave me a "We have to talk" look and left.
"Whoa, Alyson kind of saved me. She hates me, but still worries about me. She called for help, instead of leaving me there. She is incredible. I have to thank her. Wait a second. She saw me. That means, she probably thinks I was following her."Oh, crap..." I was caught up in my thoughts for a good half-hour, until I fell sleep.
Alyson´s P.O.V
It was an awkward visit, I must say. But Julie´s mom was really nice. Ha, Ironic. I left the house with the check thing and headed home. The whole way, I was thiking about Joe. He broke up with her? But why? I really didn´t understand. It´s like, maybe he wants to be alone. Or maybe he feels guilty for what he did to me. Or maybe he met someone else. I got mad at that last thought. He couldn´t be such a player. I mean, he wouldn´t do that would he?
As I walked down the street, I saw a big thing lying behind a tree. It looked like an animal or something, way too big to be a dog. I walked closer and realized it was a person.
"Oh my god!" I yelled and ran to the person. As I got closer, my heart dropped.
"Joe!" I yelled and ran to him. He was unconcious on the floor. "Joe, c´mmon, wake-up!" I said shaking him. I started to freak out, I looked around and there was nobody there to help. I took my phone and called Kevin. He was on his way.
I started crying and sat there next to Joe waiting.
"C´mmon, Kvin. Hurry" I said to myself and held Joe´s hand.
He was breathing, so that was good.I don´t know why, but I felt incredibly guilty. What was he doing there, anyway? Probably, to makeup with Julie or something. I cried harder, until I felt someone coming behind me.
"Kevin!" I yelled when I saw him.
"Oh my god, what happened?" He said lifting Joe from the floor.
He carried him and put him in the car, in the back seat. I sat next to him, with his head on my lap. I ran my fingers through his head, and stared at him the whole way. We went to their house, and they called a doctor to see him.
I stayed with him the whole time. The doctor said, it was just a harmless flu, mixed with stress. Bad reaction. Stress? That sounded stupid. But he was the doctor, so, whatever.
"Everything okay?" Kevin asked as he entered the room. The doctor was talking to Mrs. Jonas, so I was all by myself with Joe.
"Um, yeah, just thinking." I said distracted.
"About?" He said walking over and sitting next to me.
"Stuff." I said smiling awkwardly.
"O..kaay.." He said weirdly and just stared at me.
"What?" I said giggling.
"Nothing" He said and laughed.
"What?!" I repeated laughing too.
"I´m so going to miss you" He said sadly.
"Aw. I´m going to miss you too, Kev." I said and hugged him.
"Yeah, but are you really leaving like that? I mean, with the sock situation.
"Weirdo" I said smiling trying to avoid the subject.
"Answer!" He demanded, but he was still smiling. I sighed.
"What else can I do? I mean, he was obviously on his way to Julie´s. If he really cared, he would have tried to talk to me or something. You know what I got? Nothing. Not even a phone call. He didn´t even apologize. But it´s not like he had to, anyway. So, yeah, there is nothing else for me to do." I said as my eyes watered up.
"But...How about your friendship? I thought that was more important than anything." He said looking at Joe.
"It is. Was. Whatever. Listen, Kevin. I should get going now. Don´t tell him I came." I said getting up.
"I´m really going to miss you" He said wrapping me into a big hug.
"Same here" I said squeezing him and letting go. I took one last look at Joe, and headed downstairs. I said goodbye to everyone, and left.
Joe´s P.O.V
I woke up breathing heavily, after a terrible nightmare. I felt much better and got up. I was still a little dizzy, but I walked it off. It was a little dark, though. And quiet. There was something wrong here.
"Oh, crap" I said outloud and ran to get my cellphone. 2:00 AM flashed brightly on the screen.
"Oh, no. I fell sleep. Alyson is leaving in 4 hours. And now there is really NOTHING I can do."
I thought and went back to my bed.
I´m not really a sensitive guy, but I really felt like crying. I was so angry at myself. I should have done something when I could.
I looked at the window, and it was raining heavily.
"Maybe her flight will get cancelled. Oh, who am I kidding?" I thought and sighed.
I thought about sending her a message. The little line thingy (?) on the phone screen was waiting for me to type something. But I couldn´t think of anything to say. It was a stupid idea anyway. I reached my finger to hit Cancel but I accidentaly hit SEND. My eyes widened as I saw the little message that said Message sent on the screen.
"Oh, no. No, no!" I said trying to undo it, but it was to late. Now she was going to think I´m a freak or something, sending empty messages and stuff.
Alyson´s P.O.V
It was like 2 or 3 AM and I couldn´t sleep. I was too nervous. Was I making the right choice? Running away? Or should I stay and deal with my problems? These are the questions that hunt me. Ha. And I am actually leaving without talking to Joe. Well, at least I hope he is okay. I would secretly call Kevin from London to see how he was doing. Yeah, that was my "brilliant" plan.
He broke my heart and I still cared about him. So pathetic.
I started hearing a beep sound. I thought I was dreaming so I ignored it.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
There it was again. I looked around and saw my cellphone´s light flashing. New message.
"Who is sending messages after midnight?" I thought as I opened it. When I read Joe on the screen, the phone literally flew away. Of course, I threw it, but I didn´t mean to. I started breathing fastly. Maybe it didn´t say Joe. Maybe it was Moe, or Floe. Okay, so I don´t know anyone with those names, but I was just thinking crazy.
I took a deep breath and grabbed the phone again. "Joe" I read out loud. I sighed and opened it.
Empty. That was...weird. Was he making fun of me or something? So not cool. Or maybe he is sick again and he needs help.
"Okay, calm down" I said to myself. I decided to send him a message too. Of course, empty.
Joe´s P.O.V
I was so angry. I seriously needed to talk to her. Should I be at her door like at 5 and wait for her to come out? No, no.
I literally jumped when I felt my phone vibrating. I took it quickly and read the new message I had. It was from Alyson. It really was from her! Although, it was empty. But why would she text me back? Did I wake her up? But I was still very surprised she texted back.
I typed a question mark and send it. I waited and waited. But I didn´t actually expect a response. When it vibrated again I felt a bunch of butterflies in my stomach. I did expect some sort of exclamation point or another empty message, but I smiled widely when I read it.
"Are u ok?" It said. Wow, she was still worried about me. And she wrote an actual sentence. Maybe this was my opportunity. I took a deep breat and dialed her number. I thought she wouldn´t answer, but I didn´t lose anything trying. When she actually picked up, I jumped off the bed, excited and surprised.
"Hello?" She said, her voice was shaking a little.
"Alyson? Wait! Don´t hang up! Don´t hang up!" I said quickly. She didn´t say anything else, so I thought she did.
"Are you there?" I said confused. No answer. "Hello?" I said again into the phone.
"I nodded" She said and I got incredibly happy she was still there.
"Oh. Um, listen, really don´t hang up. I really need to talk to you. You can´t leave without hearing what I have to say." I said whispering the last part, because I was walking downstairs. I walked to the kitchen and turned on the light, so I didn´t have to worry if I was too loud.
"There´s nothing to say, Joe" She said coldly, but at least she was talking to me.
"There is. You never let me explain..." But she cut me off-
"Joe, I´m not talking about this over the phone." She said, I could tell she was going downstairs too, beacuse I could hear her steps.
"It´s really important. Please, just give me five minutes of your time. I swear you won´t regret it. I really need you to listen. If you still don´t forgive after that, I swear I will never bother you again. I just need one opportunitiy. Please." I begged. There was an awkward silence, until she spoke.
"Fine. Five minutes. I´ll go over there right now." She said and my heart jumped.
"You´re coming over?" I said excited.
"Yeah" She said.
"But wait, it´s too late. And it´s raining. It´s too dangerous. Maybe I can go there and..."
"Do you want to talk or not?" She said annoyed.
"Yes! Yes." I said and sighed.
"I´ll be there in ten minutes." She said and hung up.
