Chapter 5

All Filler

Joey was digging and digging through his closet.

"Were is it?" He thought to himself "I could have sworn I threw it in here"

He threw some more stuff out of his closet before he finally found the duffle bag he was looking for. He was throwing random stuff in the duffle bag when there was a knock at the door.

"Its open" he said, still looking for more stuff to put in his bag.

Caitlin walked in, closing the door behind her.

"Hey, your early" he said looking at the clock that said 3.

She laughed a little, "No Joey your just late, we'll im late too but...your not done packing yet?" She said taking her back pack off and sitting on the bed.

"No worry's, the concert isn't till 8 anyways and its only a 2 ½ hour drive." he said still throwing stuff in the bag."

"Yeah well we have to factor in your car possibly breaking down" she said with a laugh.

"Ha ha. I told you I finally got it fixed. For real this time. And if you wanted a 'reliable car'," He said making air quotations with his fingers, " you should have asked your dad to let you borrow his new Jag." he said, thinking about how sweet that car is.

"Yeah right Joey. First of all he wont even let me drive that while I'm with him, never mind you, plus you know my parents think I'm taking Melanie to the concert, not you.. That would go over real well, 'Yeah Mum, Dad, I'm going to take Joey to the concert and sleep in the one bedroom hotel you guys rented for me with him too okay?' I bet they'd love that" she said rolling her eyes a bit w/ a smile on her face

"Hey I thought your parents liked me. I told my parents they didn't care, I just got the 'Joey don't do anything stupid' lecture from my Dad" he said as he looked around his room one last time to make sure he got everything

"They do like you Joey, but its different. You're a guy so of course your parents aren't going to care if you go away for the weekend with your girlfriend. For a girl its different. Its sexist but different."

"Yeah yeah...you ready?" He asked picking up his duffle bag and her backpack off the bed and putting his hat on.

"Yep." She said following him out of his room and down the stairs.

"Bye mum, bye dad..."Joey said trying to run out the door

"Bye Mr. And Mrs. Jeremiahaaa..." Caitlin tried to say as Joey pulled her out the door and practically dragged her to the car.

"Joey what was that all about?" She said putting her seatbelt on as he sped off.

"Well, I didn't feel like hearing another lecture. Their all the same, ive herd them a thousand times..." he said putting on a serious face and made his voice go deep,"'Joey be smart and use your head for once. Don't go making stupid decisions now ya hear? Your 17 already its time for you to use your brain'" he said rolling his eyes. "Or it would be my personal favorite, the 'Joey take that silly hat off you have such a cute face show it off . And if you always wear a hat your going to go bald by the time your 30(A/N: hmmm...foreshadowing maybe? lol)'" his voice getting high pitched imitating his mother this time. "Yeah right," He continued, "I wont go bald by wearing a hat thats just a myth. Anyway, did you really wanna stick around to hear that? I don't think so." he said as they stopped at a stop light.

Caitlin just sat there and laughed. She leaned her head on the window as she looked out and smiled. She was really looking forward to spending the weekend with Joey and she had decided if things happen they happen, and she hoped they would. Thinking like that brought a smile to Caitlin's face, just as Joey looked over.

"What are you smiling about? Wait don't tell me. Its because you get to spend a whole weekend away with Joey Jeremiah. Oh you lucky girl you" Joey said in a joking tone smiling.

"Actually, yeah that was what I was thinking" she said as she put her hand over his, interlocking fingers.

"Really? I was just joking but hey I'm not complaining" he said holding her hand.

The rest of the drive was basically split: Part of the drive they sat in quietness just enjoying each others company, listing to music. The other part was playful bickering, teasing, and nice conversation. They both agreed thats what made their relationship work. When they were together they could talk and have a good time, or just sit and not say a word and just enjoy being in each others company. They finally arrived at the concert hall around 5:15, considering Joey basically did 80 the whole way there. They both got out of the car and stretched, then began walking to the hall, eventually getting in a long line.

"I cant believe your dad got such good tickets. Front center, thats crazy" Joey said still in shock.

"Yeah I guess he got them from someone at work. He said it was a late birthday present, I guess he felt bad about forgetting–..." she cringed as she let the words slip out.

"What?" Joey asked with aconfused look on his face,"Caitlin...when was your birthday?"

"Last...Last month. The 23rd..." She said

"Caitlin last month? Why didnt you tell me, or at leased yell at me for forgetting, even though I didn't even know when it was..." he asked

"Because I didn't want you to make a big deal about it... I know you needed all that money to get your car fixed, and I knew if you knew you'd have made a big deal out of it so...I just didn't tell you...because I didn't think it was that important" she said trying to down play the whole situation

"It is important though. Now I feel like a scum bag for forgetting my girlfriends birthday..." Joey said feeling bad

"Joey don't feel bad, in your defense I didn't even tell you, you said it your self. Its really not that big of deal, so don't get yourself all down okay?" she said trying to cheer him up.

"Joey your brilliant, thats a great idea..." he though to himself then finally answered Caitlin, "O..Okay..." this time he was trying to downplay everything. She didnt expect to fell crappy when he gave in so easy but she did, and eventually tried to push it out of her mind. They were here to have a good weekend and nothing was going to ruin it, even if he did forget her birthday...

They finally made it into the concert, and to their seats.

"Wow...these seats really are great huh?" Caitlin said amazed.

"Huh? Oh yeah their awesome...thanks" He said kissing her on the cheek, but it wasn't the concert he was thinking about...

"Caitlin calm down it was perfect. Nothing went wrong stop blaming yourself for stuff that didnt happen. Its all in your mind" (What does Caitlin think she's done wrong, or what has she actually dont wrong? Maybe she's not tellingJoey the whole story, or maybe i'm just lying in the bracket...stay tooned lol)

"Caitlin...i fucked up. I dont know what else to say. Ive said i was sorry. You think i dont know i fucked up? Well i do. I fucked up big time and obviously i'm paying for it--wer're paying for it, but i cant fix things unless you want things to be fixed...do you want things to be fixed?"

"Joey...i honestly don't know and you constantly in my face isnt helping matters..."

Okay Okay one more but i swear this is it this time GOD stop forcing me to give you hints on what gunna happen...

"Do i love you? Yes. Do i stillwanna be with you? Of Course. Will i forgive you? Most Likely. Will i ever forget? Not solikely..."
