The Next Morning
When I woke up, I saw Joe sleeping next to me. He must have fallen asleep when he carried me up here last night. I shook his shoulder and looked down as he opened his eyes. He saw me and smiled.
"Good morning." Joe said.
"Morning." I said to him.
"You know, I love you. Are you Okay?" He said quietly.
"I'm fine. I love you, too." I said as he sat up. I was sitting on his lap and I blushed. I felt him tilt my chin up so I was looking into his eyes. Oh, how I love those eyes. His lips met mine and we stayed like that until we needed to breathe. When we broke apart, we met the amazed stares of Miley, Mitchel, Emily, Jake, and Aly, along with the excited looks from Nick, Kevin, and Juliet.
"What? Juliet didn't tell you guys?" I said, winking at Juliet. "We're dating now." I blushed and laughed as they broke into quiet applause, urging Joe to kiss me again. I felt his lips on mine and knew that Everything Will Be Okay.
"Or will it?" a shadowy moved away from under the window of the Osment household.
Who is the figure? What will happen? Will Joe and Taylor's love survive? Why am I asking all these questions? All this and more will be answered in a sequel, title to be announced soon.
