Chapter 10: Hello Beautiful
"OK, is this mike up?" Nick asked. Sound check started out incredibly boring. It was full of 'test 1 2 3' and 'is this good?'
Finally they started singing. They played SOS first. It was so much fun. They got through a few more songs when they decided to take a break. Nick jumped off the stage and walked over to Katherine and me. "So, what do you think?" he asked.
"You guys rock!" we both said. It was 6 O'clock. The concert was going to start in an hour and the doors were going to open in 15 minutes.
"We have to clean up the stage to get ready for the concert," Nick said. "I'll be right back."
We decided to go look for Amy and Frankie. They were backstage playing guitar hero. Amy had never played before but she was doing pretty well. Frankie was coaching and cheering her on. "GO AMY! Awww, too bad. WHAMMY WHAMMY!!" Katherine and I were cracking up. BOO! Amy had failed the song. "It's OK, Amy, we can do it again."
"Frankie, can you come in here for a minute?" Mrs. Jonas called.
"Coming!" Frankie hopped off of the couch and ran out of the room.
"Megan, you and Katherine made me mess up," Amy accused.
"Sorry," we said.
"So, you and Frankie seem to be getting along," Katherine said.
"Frankie and I are going to be best friends forever!" Frankie just came back into the room.
"Amy, do you want to go get something to eat?" Frankie asked.
"Yes!" Mrs. Jonas came into the room.
"Megan and Katherine, I'm going to bring something back for Kevin, Joe and Nick and I'll give it to them during the break. Do you want anything?"
"Yeah, sure. Where are you going?"
"Applebee's." We gave Mrs. Jonas our order and her, Amy and Frankie went to go get the food.
Nick, Kevin and Joe came backstage. It was about 15 minutes before the concert started. "So, do you guys want to go out and get your seats?" Nick asked.
"Yah," Katherine said. We gave all of the boys a hug. Nick gave me an especially tight one. "Good Luck!" I told them. We hurried into the audience and grabbed our seats in the front row.
"JONAS! JONAS! JONAS! JONAS!" the crowd was chanting. We joined them. When the boys came onstage we were SCREAMING! "WOO HOO!" This concert was going to be great!
"We're the kids! We're the kids!" they started chanting. The lighting was so cool. The lights were flashing everywhere. They sang a few more songs and then ran backstage. They were going to take a 15-minute break. We got our passes out and got to go backstage. The guys were all sitting on the couches drinking water.
"You guys are amazing!" Katherine said. They turned around and saw us there.
"So you liked it?" Kevin asked.
"Liked it, we LOVED it!" I replied. Mrs. Jonas came back and gave us all our food. We ate really fast.
"You should probably go back out," Mr. Jonas came and said. We have the boys another hug and ran back out into the audience.
Everyone was screaming again, "JONAS! JONAS! JONAS!" we joined them. The boys ran back onstage. Joe grabbed the mic and said, "Hey guys, we're back." Everyone screamed louder. "OK, so now it's time for Hello Beautiful. But before we chose the lucky girl from the audience, we have to tell you guys a story first." I looked over at Nick and he winked at me. "OK," Joe continued. "So yesterday we were playing guitar hero. We made a bet with one of our friends that if he won, he could pick the girl out of the audience to sing Hello Beautiful too. Here's the surprising part, though. He lost! So we're going to let Nick pick." The girls went wild!
"NICK! PICK ME! I LOVE YOU!" all of the girls were screaming. Joe and Kevin were looking over at Nick and laughing. Nick walked over to where Katherine and I were standing, grabbed my hand and pulled me up onto the stage. I threw my camera at Katherine so she could videotape the whole thing. Joe came over to me.
"Hello, what's your name?" Katherine was cracking up.
"Megan," I said.
"OK boys, let's sing Hello Beautiful to a beautiful girl." Nick started singing and my heart began to melt.
Hello beautiful
How's it going?
I hear it's wonderful in California
I've been missing you
It's true...
Nick winked at me. Then Joe started singing.
But tonight
I'm gonna fly
Yeah tonight
I'm gonna fly
'Cause I could comb across the world,
And see everything
And never be satisfied
If I couldn't see those eyes
I looked over at Katherine, 'are you getting this?' I mouthed.
'yes' she mouthed back.
I looked offstage and saw Billy waving at me. Amy and Frankie were right there too. I smiled at all of them. Then I turned back to Nick because he was singing again.
Hello beautiful
It's been a long time
Since my phone's rung
And you been on that line
I've been missing you
It's true
But tonight
I'm gonna fly
Yeah tonight
I'm gonna fly
Oh yeah
'Cause I could comb across the world,
see everything
And never be satisfied
If I couldn't see those eyes
All of the boys gave me a hug and Nick whispered in my ear, "See you after the show." I smiled at him and a security guard helped me back to my spot. Katherine passes me back my camera. She had video taped the whole thing.
"Thanks so much," I told her.
"No problem," she replied. I could tell she was jealous.
The rest of the show was amazing, of course. The boys came out and did their final bow and ran off stage. Katherine and I sprinted back there to tell them how amazing they were. We were running so fast that we ran into Joe and he fell over! Katherine turned red. "O, sorry Joe," she said.
"No problamo!" he replied. Nick and Kevin came over to us and have us hugs.
"Thanks so much, Nick!" I said. "That was great!"
"Well, technically you should thank Kevin, because if he didn't lose on purpose, he would have chosen this one girl in the 3rd row," Nick said.
"What?? She was cute!" Kevin defended himself.
"Whatever," Joe said. "So you guys really liked the concert?"
"Yes, it was amazing! Uhh, where's Amy? It wouldn't go down well with my mom if I lost her."
"She's in the tour bus with my mom and Frankie. We're going to drive you guys home."
"OK, thank you so much," I said. We all walked to the bus. When we got to Katherine's house, she gave all of us a hug and ran inside.
We exchanged AIM screen names and cell phone numbers on the bus. We dropped Billy off second. I gave him a hug and told him I would see him on Monday. Then the Jonas' said goodbye to him.
"Bye, Papa Billy!" They all said. "We hope we'll come back in town soon!" I just realized something. They were leaving tomorrow. They have their grandpa a hug and he got off of the bus and went into the Nursing Home. I was really tired. We all sat in the back of the bus. I sat down next to Nick and put my head on his shoulder.
"I'm going to miss you," I said.
"I'm going to miss you too," he replied. He put his arm around me and I drifted off to sleep.
