Chapter 39
Sam's POV
Its Tuesday so that means it's the day the boys go on the David Susskind talk show. Its just the boys so me and Mia are going to stay backstage during the interview. We had practice today also and it ran late which meant we got back here late so Mia Is frantically finding the boys outfits. Right now Mia is running around my room looking for a pair of Joes shoes that he lost. She is starting to panic because they are the only shoes that will make the outfit she has picked out for him. I go in the closet to look for an outfit to wear when I see a pair of Joe's shoes in the middle of my shoes. So I pick them up and walk out with them.
"Mia look what I found!" I say walk towards her.
"Oh my gosh where did you find them? Wait it doesn't matter right now I still need to go pick out Nick's outfit and get dressed." She says grabbing the shoes and thrusting them at Joe then running out of the room.
"Awkward!" Joe says and I start laughing.
"You should probably get dressed before she comes back in here and kills you for not being in your outfit yet." I say t him.
"Yeah I don't really want to face the wrath of Mia today." I go over and water Tammy then go look for an outfit. I am almost ready when I hear the room door slam, That's weird who was that? I think to myself I go out and I don't see Tammy or Joe. I look around for them but I still cant find them. Maybe Joe took Tammy out to go to the bathroom before we leave. So I go back and finish getting ready about half an hour later I go out and look around for Joe. He still isn't back what is he doing? I go grab my phone and call him.
"Hello, Where are you?" I ask.
"I am on my way to the studio with Mia and Nick."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I told you I was leaving and if you were coming we would wait 5 minutes in the car."
"Well I didn't hear you!" I say getting angry.
"Ok this is what we are going to do, we are going to send Mia back to get you. Is that ok?"
"Fine whatever!" I say then hang up. I just sit on the couch and wait it only takes half an hour to get to back here from the studio so after an hour I call Joe. He doesn't answer his phone so that means the show has started. I am so pissed off now! I call Mia next but her phone goes straight to voicemail. Ugh! I throw my phone down on the couch and go get a drink out of the fridge. When I get back on the couch my phone starts going off its Mia so I answer it.
"Hello!" I say in an angry tone.
"Hi, sorry it took me so long but I'm here."
"Ok I will be down in a minute." I hang up then head down. When I get in the car I cross my arms and look out the window.
"Sorry it took so long they sent me back to get you all by myself and I got lost. I called Nick and he was getting me back to the hotel but when he had to go I was talking to Big Rob. Yeah, never trust Big Rob for directions he got me lost twice. I finally paid a taxi to go back to the hotel and I followed him."
"Oh ok then I will talk to you but I am Not going to talk to Joe he is such a jerk." I say turning up the music. We get to the studio in time to pick up the boys we make them sit in the back with Big Rob. Joe tries to talk to me but I ignore him, and every time he tries to touch me I scoot up in my seat to get away from him. Tonight was such a waist of my time I think to myself. When we get back to the hotel I am the first one to the room. I go grab Joe a pillow and a blanket and leave them on the couch then lock the bedroom door. When Joe gets back to the room he knocks on the door.
"Sam let me in so we can talk."
"Not tonight Joe I need some time to calm down." I hear him let out a breath then the light turns off.
The next day when I wake up and go out in the living room Joe is just sitting there looking at me.
"Hi." I say in a little voice. I feel really guilty for how I reacted last night. I over reacted way bad.
"Hi." He says back.
"I'm sorry about how I acted last night." I say sitting down next to him.
"No its me who should be sorry I don't know why I left you here I have no good excuse."
"Its ok lets just agree to not think about it anymore." I say.
"Sounds good to me." He says then kisses me. We hug then its time to get ready for the fan interview we are having today. We are going to be up onstage and certain fans are going to come up and ask us questions. I go in the closet and I see two full outfits hanging up.
"Did Mia set these out for us?" I ask Joe.
"Yeah she came in earlier." I grab my outfit and go in the bathroom to put it on. I put on a layered white, purple and yellow strapless sundress, a pair of pep toe white high heels and my J necklace. I straighten my hair then feed and water Tammy. After she is done eating me and Joe take her out to go to the bathroom. Then we put her in her carry bag and wait for Mia and Nick. They come down with Lyric and we load up in the car. Nick is driving today so that means I am stuck in the back. We have to rush into makeup when we get there then we are ready to go onstage. The first girl comes up and looks really nervous.
"This question is for Nick, How many songs have you written?"
"I have written thousands of songs." Then another girl asks.
"What is the question you get asked all the time that you wish no one would ever ask you again?"
"If we are really brothers." I kind of blank out the questions I am concentrating because I have to go to the bathroom really bad. I lean over to Joe and whisper in his ear.
"Joe I am going go to the bathroom I will be right back." Then I stand up and start walking off the stage when a girl starts talking to me.
"Where are you going?"
"I will be right back I just need to go do something really quick." I say by now I am doing the I have to pee walk. I am so glade when I get off the stage and head towards the bathroom. When I get back and sit down a boy fan gets onstage.
"This question is for Sam and Mia, I was just wondering if you two are going to make an album because I love your voices and I would be the first inline to buy it when it came out." He says then winks at us. I see something move out of the corner of my eye so I look over. Nick's hand is now on Mia's knee as if saying she is mine.
"Awkward!" I hear from Joe then he grabs my hand.
"We haven't been approached by anyone about a record deal but if we did I think it would be lots of fun." Mia says because I am laughing at Joe all I can do is shake my head. The next girl comes up and is looking right at Joe.
"This question is for Joe, I was just wondering if you would ever date a fan." Really did she really just ask that right in front of me. I squeeze his hand as if telling him to choose his answer wisely. I look over at Mia she is smirking at me then Nick leans around her and smirks at me also. Wow they spend to much time together now Nick is making the same facial expressions as Mia.
"I am actually dating a fan now. Sam was a fan, we met at one of our concerts." He says then smiles like he is proud of his answer. After a couple more questions this older lady comes up onstage and she is starring at Nick, ok she isn't starring at him she is ogling him with her eyes. Best moment ever! I think while smiling.
"How much older of a woman would you date?" Nick is very shocked by that question I can see him looking at Mia. Then I see her hand rub his on her leg. Nick clears his throat and starts.
"I don't know I haven't thought about it because I am in a very good relationship so I don't really have to think of those kind of things."
"Well you should start thinking about it because this so called relationship isn't going to last much longer she is all wrong for you!" Right after I hear the lady say that my arm jets out to stop Mia from getting out of her seat. She has death in her eyes Nick is rubbing her hand. Then turns back to the lady.
"Well that is your opinion on the matter but its not ours." Nick says then turns back to Mia who is visibly upset now. The next girl looks really sad.
"I think you guys are perfect together just ignore the jealous girls and the hater. My question is for Sam and Mia. What is it like touring with your boyfriends? Is it stressful or fun."
"It can be stressful but the fun and excitement over rides the stress most of the time. I have been having the time of my life." I say because Nick is still talking to Mia. We take a few more questions then its over and we get up to leave. When we get back inside Mia starts going off about that lady and her big mouth. Nick cant clam her down so I go over and talk to her about it. After a little bit I get her completely calmed down. She is exhausted from the emotions running through her she just leans into Nick on the couch and closes her eyes. Then I hear running its Joe he stops just inside the door way.
"Mia we have a wardrobe problem!" Mia is up and out of the door before I can even ask what happened.
"Joe just has to come in and open his big mouth." Nick says. Then we get up and go investigate. Mia is on her knees and it looks like her face is in Joe's crotch.
"What is going on here." Nick asks walking over and pulling Mia away from Joe. Joe's face is bright red.
"I broke a button on the jeans Mia picked out for me for the concert tomorrow. I tried them on because they looked so awesome I just couldn't resist, so I asked her to fix them. But I didn't want to take them off because they are to awesome so she was fixing them while I was wearing them." Mia wiggles out of Nicks hold then finished the last stitch and stands up.
"You need to ask before you react." Mia say looking right at Nick.
"I know but the adrenaline took over all I could think was get her away from him." She rolls her eyes and walks away with Nick following her like a little puppy. I just stand there with my hand on my hip.
"Next time you take off your pants then have her fix them."
"Ok sorry." He says looking at the floor its like he cant look me in the eyes. We go set up for practice it takes a little bit longer because Lyric and Tammy got excited when we let them out onstage to play while we practice and they got tangled up in all the cords onstage. After we get them free we all practice and have some fun. We practice late and eat dinner at the OCCII so by the time we get back to the hotel its time for bed. No one complains about that we are all dead on our feet.
I am taking a walk with Mia and the dogs on Thursday after noon. We just wanted to get out and smell the fresh air before the show tonight. We are about 2 blocks down the street from the hotel when paparazzi swarm us. I'm not sure why they just swarmed us out of the blue but we do our best to not be effected by it. So we just keep walking and talking like nothing is happening it seems to be working. Until a guy steps on Tammy's foot I hear a yelp then see Tammy start limping. I bend down and pick her up.
"Oh Tammy its ok the mean man didn't mean to step on your little foot." I say then I lean over and tell Mia to pick up Lyric before it happens to him. We are completely blocked in my paparazzi so I pull out my phone and call Joe.
"Joe can you get Big Rob and come rescue us we are trapped in a swarm of paparazzi we cant go anywhere?"
"Yeah just tell me where you are."
"If you come out of the hotel you should be able to see us. Oh and did I mention a guys stepped on Tammy's foot."
"I will be there in a heart beat." He says then hangs up. After not even 30 seconds Joe is pushing through paparazzi. When he reaches us he grabs Tammy and checks out her foot.
"I'm fine don't worry." I say with heavy sarcasm. After a couple minutes Big Rob comes over and pushes the paparazzi away so we can get away. We all sprint to the hotel.
"We need to get ready we have to leave for the concert in 15 minutes Big Rob says when we are all in the elevator. Nick is waiting for Mia outside the elevator. He takes Lyric and puts his arm around Mia. I cant stop myself from thinking they are just so cute together. We all meet at the car we get in and head to De Doelen for the concert. When we get there Mia is the first one out of the car probably going to check the outfits. When I get out Joe is holding out his hand to me that is unexpected. I take it and we walk hand in hand to the lobby. But right as we sit down Mia comes in and tells us we all need to do mic checks then get ready. I sigh and get up we go in and get everything ready for the concert. After we are done the boys and Mia go to get the boys dressed. I follow them but I don't hurry. When I get there Joe is sitting in a hair and makeup chair. I go in and sit on his lap we just talk about random things till he is done. After he is done I wish his good luck and kiss him. We are in the middle of a kiss when we hear.
"Ok that's enough it looks like you are eating her face." we break apart and look over to see John Taylor looking at Joe like he is the most digesting people he has ever seen before. I get off Joe's lap and then Joe and Nick go to get onstage. I go get my outfit on. I put on a layered purple top with a bow around the middle, a pair of pinstriped pants and a pair of black high heels. Next I go to hair they just curl it next I go to make up they just put on light make up. After I am all ready me and Mia go up and get ready behind stage then we go on.
Friday goes by without any mishaps we have a really good show and nothing goes wrong. I am concerned when I wake up on Saturday though. Because tonight Joe and Demi are going to be on the same talk show. I am going with Joe tonight so that makes me feel a little bit better. Joe doesn't understand why I feel anxious about him on a talk show with Demi so I don't talk to him about it. I am helping Mia pick out an outfit for him to wear tonight I want to be like look Demi this is what you will never get again. But at the same time I don't want him to look to good that makes her through herself at him. After about an hour we get it picked out Mia leaves so I help him get dressed and his hair fixed. I tell him he is going to be great and give him a hug then I go get dressed. I put on a pair of short and a white shirt with a blue over shirt then a long necklace. I hear a door shut after I am done so I run out to make sure Joe hasn't left me again but he is sitting on the couch.
"Why do you look so panicked?" He asks me.
"Because I thought you just left me again."
"Don't worry I wont leave you again I learned my lesson."
"Ok I am going to fix my hair then put on some makeup and shoes then we can leave." I say as I walk back to our room. I have the blow dryer on and I hear a weird noise but when I turn the blow dryer off I don't hear anything. So I turn it back on and finish fixing my hair. After I am done I go get a pair of black high heeled ankle boots. I go out to tell Joe we can leave but I don't see him anywhere. Where is he I think and me and Tammy look around for him I cant find him so I try to call him. No answer so I leave a voicemail.
"Joe you are in so much trouble, you said you learned your lesson and you wouldn't do it again then you turn around and do it." I hang up because I start crying. They are mad tears I am so furious at him. If you love someone how could you just forget them when you are leaving. I just don't get it. I go change into some red and black plaid shorts and a black tank top with a smiley face on it. I text Mia and ask if she can come over to talk. She said sure so now she is sitting on the couch with me.
"How can he just leave without knowing I am not there with him. He knows I was getting ready to come with him but he left anyways. Is he embarrassed to be seen with me or something?" I start saying getting myself worked up into tears again.
"Sam shh its ok don't cry!" Mia say rubbing my back.
"I'm not crying my eyes are just sweating." I say then we both laugh. After about an hour I get a text its form Joe. It says.
"I'm so sorry I was on the phone when I left so I wasn't even thinking how about you get ready and I take you out for a nice dinner?" I tell Mia
"You should go, let him gravel at your feet."
"Yeah maybe I should." So I text him back.
"Ok pick me up in half an hour."
"Excellent!" He texts back. Mia goes back to her room and I go find an outfit. I pick out a nice dress and a pair of very sexy shoes. Then I go change and redo my hair and makeup. I have to cover up my swollen eyes. After I am done I hear a knock at the door I rush over to it expecting Joe but its Nick.
"Oh hi." I say surprised.
"I just came over to ask if you wanted me to take Tammy over to Big Rob with Lyric. I am taking Mia out tonight we are going to see a movie then meet up with some old friends."
"Fun! Yeah here's Tammy, thanks Nick." I say then shut the door. I walk around the room I hear Mia's room shut and then the elevator come to get them. My feet start hurting after a while so I take off my shoes and go look out the window still no Joe. I look at the clock he is two hours late. I should have expected this I just keep getting my heart torn apart tonight. I am going to call him and if he doesn't answer then I am going to get all my stuff and go find a new room. I grab my phone and call him twice with no answer. So I go down stairs barefoot in my fancy dress and get a new room. The only room they have is a room on the first floor. I go look at it the room is the size of my closet upstairs. There are no windows, no phone and no TV. The only thing it has is a bed and a side table. That's pretty much all that will fit in that space. I sigh its what I have to do I close the door and go change then get some of my stuff. I see Big Rob taking the dogs out when I am headed to my new room.
"Oh I can take Tammy back now." I say then he hands her leash to me.
"Where are you going?"
"I am going to my room I cant share one with Joe anymore we are having problems that I don't know if we can pull through." Big Rob just goes silent then we go our separate ways when we get out of the elevator. I go to the tiny room and curl up on the bed with Tammy I cry myself to sleep. After what seems like 5 minutes there is heavy knocking at my door. I go over and open it its Mia she just lets herself in.
"Big Rob called and told me what was going on. Did Joe stand you up again?" I sniff and shake my head.
"I don't know what has gotten into him lately." She says thinking out loud I think.
"Well the rest of the night is ours how do you want to spend it?"
"I want cookies and ice cream!" I say then Mia stands up.
"Ok I will call Nick." She pulls out her phone and calls Nick she says something about blue and cookies. Then she turns back towards me.
"Nick wants to know if you want to come to the store with us we need to get the stuff for the cookies?"
"No you guys go I will wait here."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I will be fine I have Tammy to keep me company."
"Ok I will hurry I promise." She says then leaves. My stomach is like roaring its so hungry. I decide to go out and get nachos from the lobby. When I get back to my room I am so excited. I eat one bit then Mia comes in I stand up really fast and stand in front of the nachos.
"What is that smell?"
"Nothing, what smell I don't smell anything out of the ordinary." I say.
"You have like cheese or something on your chin." She says then I hear a crunching noise. Oh no Tammy I think I turn around so fast I loose balance and start falling Mia catches me around the waist but its not fast enough my face smacks right into the plate which not only gets me al dirty it makes the plate spring up and everything flies at Mia who is standing behind me. I am so mad I start crying.
"Oh my gosh this is the worst day of my life." I say then Mia's phone starts going off. After she looks at it she says.
"Baking emergency I will be right back." Then leaves me to clean up. I get everything cleaned up but I had to take off my shirt to wipe my face with so I am sitting here on my bed with no shirt and I smell like nachos. My life sucks is all I can think. When Mia gets back she has fresh cookies and new clothes. I change then we start eating while we talk. It is 5am when me and Mia hear a knock on the door. Mia gets up and answers it, its Joe I can hear his voice I cant really make out what he is saying but I do get hanging out with demi and have a good time. That starts me crying again, Mia pushes him out and they both go into the hall. After a long time Mia comes back in.
"Did you tell him I never want to see him again?"
"No I told him he needs to give you your space and then after time you will talk to him."
"Ha that's so not going to happen." I say turning over and going to sleep.
