A/N Hey guys, sorry for the long wait. School is killing me. I'm so sick of it, I'm actually thinking of transferring to a liberal arts high school because I really think the education I'm getting now is a joke. Anyways hope you like it!

Chapter 10

I walked over to Mileys hotel room and gently knocked on the door. No one answered. I knocked three more times and still never got an answer. I figured that they were sleeping so I went to Nicks room hoping he'd let me crash there.

"Hey! Longtime no see!" Nick said sarcastically as he let me in.

"Okay, so Miley and Tori are sleeping and won't answer their door, so I was wondering if I could sleep here."

"Yeah of course, but one question."

"Shoot." I took a pair of sweatpants from Nicks' suitcase and was now in the bathroom changing into them.

"Well, why aren't you sleeping in Joes' room." I walked out of the bathroom and started making myself comfortable in his bed.

"Hmm" I had to think about this question. "Because Nick, things between me and Joe are still new, I don't want to freak him out by asking for a sleepover the first night we become a couple."

"Yeah I guess that makes sense, but you know he wouldn't care right Mel?"

"I know Nick but you're my best friend, we need some quality time before you leave tomorrow." Nick has turned out the light and we were both snuggled into the blankets.

"Now go to bed, it's been a long night." I said, yawning.

"Night Mel." I herd Nick mumble before I dozed off.

-----

I woke up around 7 that morning. I had no idea why, I was still tired and had never been someone to wake up early. Nick was sleeping again so I decided to try Joes' room.

I knocked really loudly for a good 2 minutes and no one answered. Then I called him figuring the sound would wake him

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you

You are my only one

I let go, there's just no one who gets me like you do

You are my only, my only one

My day became 10 times better knowing his ring tone for me was Only One by Yellowcard. It rand about 7 times before he finally answered.

"Hello?" He said groggily

"JOESPH OPEN YOUR DOOR!" I screamed into his hear. I could hear a bump from inside. It sounded like he had fallen off his bed.

"I hate you so much." He said when he opened his door.

"Do you? Really?" I said as I walked in.

"Yes really."

"Well does this change your mind?" I gave him a passionate kiss on them lips.

"Hmmm, yes yes I believe it did. So why are you here so early?"

"I don't know, I just couldn't go back to bed."

"Oh, well now that I'm up, I bought something for you." I was shocked. Had he really found something last night?

"Here." He said and placed a small box in my hand. I opened it up and inside was just a plain simple silver band. But the part that made it special was the engraving on the front. It read "Inseparable"

"Aw Joe, thank you! I absolutely love it. But how did you get it, I mean we were together all day yesterday."

"That is something you will never know." I shrugged and gave him a hug. Just then we herd a knock on the door.

"One sec." Joe said and answered the door.

"Hey daddy, what's up?"

"I have some bad news son."

"What is it?"

"We're leaving early."

"Okay, like how early?"

"In about 15 minutes, so you better hurry up and pack."

"Oh, okay, I'll see you out there I guess."

"15 minutes? You can't be serious!" I said. "I though we'd have the whole afternoon together."

"Me too, but it's okay, just think, in only 4 weeks you'll be onstage performing. That's what you've always wanted, right?"

"That it is." I said beaming; I couldn't wait to hit that stage. I mean The Best of Both Worlds tour was bigger than the Beatles! And me little old me would be performing in it!

I sat on the bed as Joe scurried around shoving everything into his suitcase. Finally the time had come and we both headed downstairs to say goodbye.

My goodbye to Kevin wasn't that hard, he was a nice guy and all but we never really got that close, his mind always seemed to be somewhere else. Thinking about a girl possibly?

Surprisingly it wasn't that hard to say goodbye to Nick either. We were best friends by this point so I knew we'd be in constant contact. Plus I'm sure Miley would take care of him.

After hugging Miley, Tori, Frankie, and ever Mr. and Mrs. Jonas, Joe was the only one left to say goodbye to.

I slowly walked towards him and tears started to form up in my eyes. We faced each other, not really sure of what to say.

After a few moments of silence Joe started humming something. It sounded familiar, but I knew it wasn't a Jonas Brothers song.

Soon he started singing it.

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you

Tomorrow I'll miss you

Remember I'll always be true

And then while I'm away

I'll write home every day

And I'll send all my loving to you

I smiled and gave him a huge hug. Then I kissed him on the lips and sang

All my loving I will send to you

All my loving, darling I'll be true

And with that we let go of each other and the tour buses took off.

I kept humming the song to myself and I started the walk home. Eventually I'd call my mom to pick me up since the walk was so far, but for right now I just wanted to be alone.

-----

As soon as I got home I three wayed Talia and Ash. I hadn't talked to them since the night of the concert. I guess I had been to busy with the Jonas boys.

"Melody! Where have you been! I thought maybe Joe had kidnapped you!" screamed Ash.

"I know! I've been worried about you!" said the always cautious Talia.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but boy do I have some stories for you guys!"

I told them everything. From meeting Emma to having sleepovers with Nick. I saved the best part for last. The tour.

We had been on the phone for a good two and a half hours. They were speechless after hearing about the tour.

"Hello? Guys? Did you hear me? Hollywood records is going to sign me! Isn't this great?"

"What? Hmm oh yeah sure." Ash said, she seemed angry.

"Really Mel, we're happy for you." Talia said, trying to hold back tears.

"You guys, what's wrong? I thought you'd be excited!"

"We are Mel, it's just that after you leave for Cali we probably won't be friends anymore."

"Come on Ash, how could you say that? Of course I'd stay friends with you guys."

"Yeah maybe before you become famous. Once you go on tour you'll become the next Miley Cyrus, everyone is going love you. That means you'll be to busy to even talk to us and then you'd hang out with your famous friends."

"Come on Talia, be serious, I could never not be friends with you guys, plus one of you gets to go on tour with me!"

"WHAT?!!?" they both screamed at the same time. And then all I could hear was both of them rambling about who I should take. It hadn't hit me until that moment, that I had two best friends, but only one spot on the tour bus.

"Guys? Guys?! GUYS?!?!"

"Yes?" they said simultaneously.

"Listen, I haven't really made my decision on whom to bring yet, but I mean, both of you can't really want to go. Doesn't one of you guys want to stay here?"

"NO!" they both started rambling again.

"I'll think about it and call you guys back!" I said and hung up. I wasn't sure they could hear me, but I was pretty sure I couldn't make a sane decision with both of them yelling in my ear.

"Mommy!!" I screamed from my room.

"What?" she said, out of breath from running up the stairs.

"Are you sure I can't bring two friends with me on tour?"

"Are Ash and Talia fighting over who you should bring?"

"Yes."

"Well your father and I figured this would happen so we solved the problem ourselves."

"How?"

"Well before we went to dinner last night we called Ask and Talias parents to run the idea by them. Originally we were going to have both of them go on tour. But of course Ashley's mother said no."

"Figures, her mothers a psycho."

"Melody."

"Sorry, but she is!"

"I know, but we just won't say it out loud." I laughed. My mom was always one who loved to gossip about the other mothers. That's probably where I got my gossip bug.

"Anyways, you should probably start packing, our plane for California leaves tomorrow morning at 7."

"BLAH! That's so early!"

"Yeah, but just think, the sooner our flight, the sooner you get to L.A."

I smiled and she left my room. Wow L.A. finally I'd get out of this dumb town. I called Ash and Talia back and told them about what their parents had said. Sure I was sad that Ash couldn't go but I was glad I didn't have to chose between both of them.

----

I woke up at 4 the next morning. We had to pick up Talia, then it took and hour to get to Logan airport and then it took forever to get through security. I didn't have much time to get ready. When I woke up I realized that Nicks' sweatpants were on my floor. I must have forgotten to give them back to him before he left yesterday.

I picked them up and held them close to my chest. Just one more month before I could see those amazing boys again.

I put on his sweatpants and a sweatshirt and headed of to Talias' house. I can't even remember how long the flight to LAX was, but I knew it was long. I slept for most of it.

Right when we arrived I got a call on my cell phone.

"Hello?" I said when I answered the unknown number.

"Hello Melody, this is your new manager Ralph. Are you ready to be famous?"

You bet I was.

A/N See it was totally worth the wait because this was a pretty lengthy chapter. It was 8 pages on Word. I think that's the longest on yet. Hope you liked it! Review! Review!
