Last update until hiatus.

I love this chapter.

Also...

Does anyone else think that Joe Jonas acts EXACTLY like Ashton Kutcher in That's 70's Show sometimes?

Heres a quote, everyone needs to hear.

"I don't put my keys my my pocket because it disracts from my natural bulge!!"

Bahaha. Oh, Kelso.

Review pleeeease.

I woke up the next morning slowly. I sighed and looked up around my room. I sighed and fell back, and suddenly felt strange. I turned my head to the left and looked straight into the sleeping face of Joe Jonas. I yelped, and jumped out of bed. Joe stirred. I could just imagine what he'd see when he woke up.

Me, standing there, my annoyingly straight hair completely perfectish looking, which should make me satisfied, but actually annoyed me, my short, completely white legs having this ghostly glow because I'm only wearing a pair of black shorts and a navy thermal that had to long sleeves so that they hung over my clenched hands, staring at him awkwardly. What a freak. I can't believe there was a time when he actually liked me.

Joe slowly opened his eyes and looked to me. He jumped and gasped, falling off the bed in a thump. He looked at me confused.

"What…am…" He stuttered.

"I don't know…."

"I'm gonna go…" He said quietly. I nodded. He walked out of the room quickly. I sat back down on my bed and wish to death that I hadn't woken him.

Five minutes later, Joe came bolting back into the room franticly. He stared at Lilly quietly.

"Joe? What--"

"They can't see me…" He mumbled.

"What?"

"Nobody… My family can't see me! They're having breakfast, and I went in and… they didn't see me… none of them…" He stuttered. He looked at me. "Paige, how can you see me, and they can't?"

Suddenly, the door opened to reveal Jamie standing there looking at them

"Paige. What is going…" He trailed off when he looked at Joe. "What are you doing here, Joseph?" He asked. Joe gawked at him.

"You can see me too?!" He asked. Jamie nodded. Joe looked from me to Jamie. "What is going on!?" He asked turning around and hitting his head over and over again. I jumped up and ran towards him. I grabbed his wrists to stop him. He looked at me warily.

"Joe, calm down." I said quietly. I turned to Jamie. "Can you see what's going on?" Jamie nodded and left the room. I looked back to Joe. He was struggling not to pull out of my grasp.

"Paige… what's going on?" He asked quietly. "Why can't my family see me? How come you can?" I shook my head.

"Just calm down." I said. I lead him towards my bed and he sat down. I let go of his wrists and he exhaled and inhaled quickly. "What's the last think you remember?" I asked. Joe thought for a second.

"Um… I… I can't remember… I.. I was in my bedroom… and…" He said quietly. "I don't know." I nodded. Jamie returned and looked at us warily.

"He's on the waiting list." He said to me. My eyes widened.

"I'm on the what?" Joe asked, standing up.

"The waiting list. Your in a coma. Drug induced. They haven't decided yet." Joe just stared at me.

"What does that mean?!"

"You're a ghost, Joe." Jamie said bluntly. Joe stared at him like he was a complete nutter.

"I…. I'm dead?"

"No. In a coma. There's a difference." Jamie explained.

"I…" Joe stuttered. He stumbled back against the wall and slid down to the floor, pulling his knees to his chest. He just started shaking. I'd never seen Joe like this. I'd never seen Joe so scared. I looked to Jamie, and he nodded. I stood up and walked toward him. I sat down next to him and sighed. He glanced to me. I slowly moved my arms around him, so that I was basically hugging him. He gave me a confused look, but then just accepted it.

"Its gonna be ok." I whispered. Jamie gave me a look and left the room. "Dying isn't that bad." He pulled away from me and gave me a strange look.

"You've died before?" He asked, like it was a joke.

"That's why I can see you." I said nodding. He sighed.

"I can't believe this…" He mumbled. "Lilly is going to be so pissed at me." the statement was said to himself, under his breath, but I heard it. I laughed. He looked to me. "She's--"

"I know."

"Nick told you."

"Not exactly." I said calmly. Joe gave me a look I held up one finger to him, telling him to wait. "I'll be right back. I have to ask Jamie something." Joe nodded. I stood up and walked downstairs where Jamie and Les were standing in the kitchen drinking coffee. Jamie looked at me warily.

"How's he taking it?"

"Um… well… I don't know." I said quietly, because I honestly couldn't tell what he was thinking. "Jamie, can I tell him?"

"Tell him what?"

"About… me." I said quietly. Jamie thought for a second.

"I suppose. Especially considering the damage control I'm gonna have to do for this one." I grinned and nodded, then went back up to my room. Joe was looking at a picture I'd taken of Nick a few days ago. From the park. Joe looked up at me and smiled. I joined his side and looked at the stack.

"These are good." He said in a very satisfied voice. I shrugged.

"Joe…" I said in a small voice. He looked at me with this innocent face that Joe was famous for doing, and my heart melted. I took a deep breath. "I… I gotta tell you something." He nodded. I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck in silence, then spoke up. "Um… you know how you said Lilly would be mad if you died, and I knew who she was?" Joe nodded again. "I know who she is… because… I kind of… am her." I stuttered. Joe stared at me, wide eyed.

"Excuse me!?" he asked.

"Joe… I couldn't tell you. I was dead, and they said I wasn't supposed to die… and I know I sort of set you up with Jordan, you know… possessing her and stuff but… I just--" He cut me off by practically swallowing me in a hug. He pulled me close to his body. I smiled and hugged back. I pulled away from him slightly and smiled. I realized how much taller he was from me now. Practically an entire foot. He just stared at me with this really happy expression. He leaned down and kissed me gently. I pulled away and looked at him.

"What about that girlfriend of yours?" I asked. He shook his head.

"She'll never compare to you."
