As always Joe is away on tour and we barley get to see each other. The more he’s gone the more I want him. Lucky he’s coming back for only today. The thing is I am not allowed to go on tour with him, parents’ rules. So I decided to go with my parents’ permission or not. They don’t understand how I love Joe and how he loves me. “Ashley don’t do this!”Joe says. “I love you and I want to be with you and you want the same with me, so I am doing this whether you like it or not.” I tell Joe immediately, “Well I will see you tomorrow I guess.” “Ok love you bye.” Joe says and I reply the same way. Knock, Knock, Knock, come in! “Hey are you ready,” Joe says,” I hope you like dinner, because that’s where I am taking you.” “Haha, ok.” I say. He takes me to Buffalo Wild Wings, well because I love buffalo wild winds and so does Joe, but not as much as I do. It is our third date in a year, because of his tour. When we get back to my place we sat down in my room and talked about random stuff. “Hey guess what I did today,” Joe says excitedly. “What,” I say back. I did some kelts.” Joe told me. His “new” muscle that he made. “Haha cool.” I say. Then Joe gently kissed me. Later on I get back into his car and we drove off to the tour bus. When we get there, we get out of the car and when we got to the tour bus Frankie was there to greet us. ‘Hi Joe and hi Ashley!” Frankie says excitedly. “Hey Frankie how is everything going.” I say in reply. “Awesome!” Frankie says then jumps on Joes back for a piggy back ride. “Hey Ash. I would like for you to call your mom in the morning, ok.” Joe says carrying Frankie outside. Since it was only 2:00 in the afternoon. “Hey Ashley how is everything going on with you and your family.” Kevin says getting up from the couch and heading outside. “They are fine. Yours?” I say. “Awesome!” Kevin says and heading out the door. Then Nick jumps up to turn off the TV. “Hey wanna play hide and seek with Frankie and the other guys.” Nick says. Ya sure. Sounds like fun, haha.” I say. “Haha, ya come on.” Nick replies. Then we both head out the door. Later that day we all were sitting around in the tour bus talking about all kinds of stuff. Then I pull out my enV and start to text…hey mom, I am sorry forg… Then I closed my cell. Joe gives me a look and I just look and then I looked away. He comes up to me and says, “Were leaving soon are you sure you want to stay.” Joe says putting his arm around me. “Joe I love you and I am staying with you until school starts, so we can spend time together and not apart, ok” I say to him. “I love you too babe, and ok. Just please call your mom tomorrow.” Joe says. I sat up and kiss Joe and then I just lied there on his chest not wanting to move form that spot. Then we watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Since watching it for the first time I held onto Joe while he held onto me. During the movie Frankie fell asleep his bean bag chair and I fall asleep on Joe’s chest. So Joe picked me up and carried me to his bed to sleep on and Nick carried Frankie to Frankie’s bed. “Ashley wake up time to eat.” Joe says then gives me a good morning kiss. I stretched and said “Hey hun, what time is it and what’s for breakfast.” “10:00 and pancakes.” Joe replies smiling. I got up and brushed my hair and unpack my stuff I brought along for the tour. I headed out and sat on Joe’s lap because everyone took all the seats and at some pancakes. Then I said “Joe I am afraid.” “Babe I love you and don’t be your mom won’t take you, I will talk to her and besides you have me to protect you.” “Awww, I love you too.” I said and tried to steal Joe’s pancakes. “Ashley can we go play football outside in a bit.” Frankie says. Yes, sure, wait teams please.” I say giving him a hug. “Nick, Kevin, and me and you and Joe!” Frankie says. “Oh I see haha.” I said ticking him. “Hahaha stop that tickles!” Frankie says trying to fight back. “Frankie we have to wait a while until the bus stops at our detonation, ok” Kevin says “Ok how long do we have to wait to play.” Frankie says getting up from the couch. “Only an hour or half, I suppose.” Kevin says. “Ok” Frankie replies and runs off.

“Ready set hut!” Nick says. “Frankie caught!” Kevin says after he got the ball. “Joe get him, attack!” I said. “No! Everyone get him.” Joe says running after Frankie. Ahhhhhh! No Nick, Kevin you’re on my team!” Frankie says running away from Joe. The Joe picked up Frankie and said touch down! Then the game ended there. We all headed into the tour bus and drove off. I pulled out my cell phone and looked up at Joe and Joe headed over to me and sat right next to me. “Call Ashley, it will be over ok” Joe says. “Ok.” I said. Ring….ring…. (Click) Hello? “Mom, it’s me Ashley. I am on the tour bus, with Joe.” I told my mom. “Ashley thank god you’re ok! Why did you leave without telling me or your dad!” my mom said. “Mom I did because you and dad wouldn’t let me go. You don’t know how much I love Joe and how much he loves me. I wanted to be with him for a while.” I said to my mom and I started to cry. “Oh Ash. I am sorry. I am glad you found someone to love too. I was worried about you. Also all you need to do was to tell me, I am really disappointed in you.” my mom said. “Mom this is the thing I am going to stay with Joe and I will be back before school starts back up again.” I told her. “Ok, but maybe next time you tell me.” My mom said. “Ok, well I got to go. Love you bye.” I said and hung up the phone. “So, what did she say?” Joe said putting his arm around me again. “She said that it’s ok and that she is disappointed in me for not telling her.” I said laying my head on his shoulder. “It’s ok. Well do you want to go to the pool?” Joe said giving me a kiss. “Ya sure I will tell the others ok” I said. “No Ashley I will you go get changed, ok.” “Ok.” I replyed. Then we stopped to pick up Joe, Nick, Kevin, and Frankie’s parents. They greeted me with a hug and were glad I was here, because I can straighten up the boys. Then I changed into my 2 piece. Then all the guys changed and we walked to the pool. When we got there all the girls went up to them and were asking for signatures and I just walked off put out stuff down and got some chairs and jumped in the pool. I waited for only 10 minutes until the guys came over to me. Joe said his sorry and gave me another kiss. Oh sure there were photographers there too and took our picture and the others too. We had fun in the pool and met some friends and hung out with them, but mostly I stayed with Joe. After that we dried off and walked back to the tour bus. When we got there their parents made us something to eat. All I was thinking about was what my mom said. I just couldn’t get it out of my head. I was helpless. I got to be night and helped me to his bed and we layed there talking about us and we fell asleep in the bed together. I woke up and Joe wasn’t there. Usually Joe woke me up, but no one was on the bus. I walked to their parents’ room and they weren’t there either. Scared I walked to the front of the bus no one and not even the driver. I found a note on the table form Joe saying “Ashley, we had to practice for our concert tonight. We will be back around 3:00. If you need anything call me and I will come and pick you up and bring you to dinner then here. Well love you –Joe” I got out orange juice and a donut that was out for me and had my breakfast. Then I got changed and called Joe. He came and picked me up. On our way to the concert place we stopped at a red light and waited until it turned green. When it turned green we drove off and on my side of the car a car came speeding at us and hit us.

“Ashley! Wake up! Hey call the police, my girlfriend, she’s not waking up!” Joe said crying. We got to the hospital and Joe wouldn’t leave my side at all. My arm was cut open and my head was bleeding. The next day I laied there with my eyes closed and heard Joe crying and holding my hand. I woke up and tried to lean over, but I stopped when I started to feel sharp pain. Joe lifted his head and his eyes brightened and jumped up and gave me a kiss. When it was over he said, “Oh my gosh, I am so glad you are ok.” “Me too.” I said back and then noticing Joe had gotten 4 stitches on his forehead. “The doctors said you can walk but your arm is going to hurt for a while. I looked at my arm dumbfound at what I saw.”Joe what happened to your forehead.” I finally said Joe told me when we first got here the doctors said he had to leave me and he wouldn’t and they had to get his dad and uncle over here to pull him away from me. I started to cry am lifted up my left arm and pulled his face to mine and kissed him and I said, “I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have you with me.” “I something happened to you, Ashley I would die because I am in love with you.” I looked at him in the eye and smiled and Joe smiled back. That was when his family walked in with flowers and cards. I got hugs from everyone. We all left the hospital and Joe stayed at my side the whole time and he helped me to the bus. When we got on I saw something I taught I wouldn’t see for a while. My parents. My mom came and gave me a hug and lots of kiss and kept wandering if I were all right. Then my dad hugged me and kissed me. “Ashley during the crash you got knocked out and a piece of glass ripped your arm when I tried to pull you away from the window and then a piece flew and scraped my forehead deep.” Joe said helping me to the couch. “What happened to the other driver?” I said questioning. “The police told me that the driver was trying to kill us. Then after the crash he gotten out of his car and took off. “Oh…” I said yawning, “I am tried may I got to bed.” “Yes you may honey.”My mom said giving me a kiss. Love you” My dad said “We are leaving in a bit, but you can stay or come home with us.” “I will stay.”I said looking at Joe, “If I need anything I will call you, ok.” “Ok.”My parents both said and gave me a hug and kiss goodbye. Joe stood up said bye to my parents and helped me up and walked me over to his bed. He helped me down onto the bed so he didn’t hurt my arm. I noticed he cared for me so much that if I died he would be helpless. I tried to reach for Joe’s face to give him a kiss, but he put my arm down and gave me one. “Ash, I love you.” Joe said after the kiss. “I love you too.” I said smiling. Then I closed my eyes to go to sleep and I felt Joe lay down. He must have been tired for what had happened the past 2 days.
