Hey guys!
So Our other thread froze so we're posting the chapters again!
Howver I only had my 1st chapter so bare with me while I try and get it as close to the original as possible!
Hopefully I'll post the 2nd chapters some time tonight!
Chapter 1
This was it! The call that would make her or break her! She answered the phone, trying to hide her nerves and sound confident.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Aisling, this is Mr Greene, I have some very good news." She held her breath as he continued.
"Your application has been accepted and you are ready to teach here, however, it's not what you are expecting. You won't be teaching in a normal classroom environment. You'll be teaching an 8 year old boy, on a one to one basis. His family travel a lot so you'll be required to stay with them? How does that sound?"
"Oh Mr Greene, it sounds wonderful, thank you so much for this amazing opportunity" He continued on and she listened intently.
"Is it possible I'll be able to meet the child with his tutor, just so I can get a feel for his ability and what type of lessons I'll have to prepare?" Aisling asked.
"That's a great idea, I'm sure there won't be a problem" he replied
As soon as she hung up with him she screamed with the delight, whilst urgently punching a number into the phone
"Brittany!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess what????? I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!" she squealed down the line.
Brittany was her best friend here in America, they had been since her cousin moved there ten years ago and she visited every summer! And now at the age of 19 she was a qualified teacher! She had finished school early and had gotten a scholarship to study in America, where she was now permanently based and had long left Ireland behind her.
"OH.MY.GOD! NOW WAY!!! WHERE????"She quickly filled her in on the details.
"Wait, your leaving? You finally get to Washington and now you take off?"
"Oh come on it won't be that bad, I'll be back during all the holidays, and there's nothing to say I won't be back a lot. It'll be better than if I was at home, I'll see you way more often. I promise"
"Ugh, you sound just like Kevin" she said sadly.
"But, you love us both, and you know that we love you. It'll be all good in the hood" she cracked up at that
"Ais, your such a dork you know that right?"
"It's been mentioned."
Afterspeaking with Brittany she felt kind of bad, It was bad enough that Brittany's boyfriend was away most of the year, and now Aisling was leaving her too. She decided to send an email to her parents to let them know, but once she logged in she saw an email from Mr Greene informing her she that she could meet the boy and hid tutor and parents that evening at 8pm.
Making sure to look professional, Aisling left her apartment and gave the cab driver the directions Mr Greene had given her. She stepped inside and froze in her tracks when she saw the boy and his family.
"No way..." she though to herself as she tried to cover her surprise and walked towards them casually.

Chapter 2
Aisling locked eyes with the little boy. His face lit up and suddenly he was racing towards her, he hugged her waist, nearly knocking her to the ground. "Whoa Frankie, how are you buddy?" she asked ruffling his hair.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Frankie, I live in Washington, remember? and I know why you're here, come on we don't want to keep your parents waiting." They walked over and his mother Denise looked up. When she saw Aisling, she smiled aswell. "Hi Aisling, Kevin told me you had an interview today, how did it go?"
"It hasn't started yet." she replied with a smile. Denise looked confused but suddenly she understood. "You're who Mr Greene reccommended? Well that changes everything" she exclaimed and then she took in Aisling's shocked face.
"Oh no dear, that's not what I meant. It's just usually when the tutor comes with us, they travel separately, but you will be right with us on the bus." They discussed what Frankie had already studied, his strong and weaker areas and by the end Aisling felt very confident that she could rise to the challenge. Besides Frankie was a great kid. She was sidetracked by the number of missed calls she had, and then her cell phone began ringing again. She looked down and smiled when she saw who was calling.
"It's joe" she stated.
"oh my goodnesss he's probably going crazy."
"Why?"
"He went to your apartment with Kevin, so Kevin could see Brittany, and he thought he'd rescue you."
Aisling left the table and answered.
"And so she lives" he said without one word of a greeting.
"Hi Joe"
"Where are you? I'm stranded here."
"Be more specific. Where is 'here'?"
"Ummm your bedroom."
"Joseph Adam Jonas what are you doing in my bedroom" she cringed at the thought of her crush, in her room, while she wasn't there. Who know's what he'd find. Where had she put her diary??
"Kevin and Brittany are making out in the livingroom, so there's nowhere else to go."
"I'll be home soon, I've some awesome news for you." The whole car ride she was a bundle of nerves. She had the biggest crush on Joe, but he saw her as just a friend. She could manage that because they didn't see each other that often, but now she was going to be tutoring Frankie, and be in close proximity to him. She felt dizzy at the thought of it and there were butterflies in her stomach. She passed the living room to get to her room, and she saw Kevin and Brittany. She laughed quietly to herself. She pushed open her door and saw Joe sprawled across her bed, flicking through her magazines and listening to her ipod.
He had it on so loud he didn't here her come in. She sat down beside him.
"Aisling... FINALLY!!! you took your sweet time."
"Jeez Joe, I was at an interview, calm down."
"Oh, how'd it go? Brittany never mentioned it."
"It was fantastic, I got the job. I'll be teaching a little kid, his family travels a lot so I'll be going with them.
"That's weird, mom was meeting with some highly regarded tutor today, apparently she's really young but is fantastic."
Aisling just smiled in response.
"It's you isn't it? Sweet my best friend is coming on tour, this is gonna be awesome! It's gonna make up for all the times we never see each other." He pulled her into a crushing bear hug. Her head began to fill with thoughts. First and foremost, she was there to teach Frankie so she had to be proffesional.
After the guys left, Brittany and Aisling stayed up talking for ages.
"Ais, this is so cool, I know how much you like Joe, now things can finally happen between you guys."
"Ugh, it's not like that"
"Oh come on, nobody can deny the chemistry you have. He calls you everyday, you do all these things as if your dating."
"Come on Brit, you know as well as I do, he only sees me as a friend"
Laying in bed that night Aisling got a text message. She opened it and it read Goodnight teacher, can't wait to see what you'll teach me ;) Love Joe x
He was going to make this tour very difficult for her.

Ch. 3 Who are you really teaching?
Brittany was sitting at the kitchen table, slowly drinking a cup of hot chocolate, when Aisling dragged herself out of bed the next morning. Ais stumbled over the coffee maker and poured herself a cup of coffee before sitting down across from Brittany.
“Morning lady, are you excited to go on tour? You never told me,” Brittany asked.
Aisling shrugged, a taking another drink, “I guess. I decided that I need to find a new boy. Me and Joe will never work out.”
“What are you talking about?” Brittany cried, obviously upset.
“Well Joe only sees me as a friend and I can’t have my heart broken again, Britt. He is already making it difficult for me and we haven’t even left yet.”
Brittany got up and put her mug in the sink before turning back to face Aisling, “Please give him a chance. Joe feels something for you but doesn’t know how to express it.”
“I’ll think about it B, but enough of this. Are you going to help me go shopping for some new hot tour outfits?”
“Meet me back down here in twenty minutes,” Brittany yelled, already heading up the stairs to get ready.
Neither girl could resist a good shopping trip and with a new tour coming up they had to look their best. Well Brittany had to because she and Kevin were always followed by the paparazzi, looking for some juicy details of the relationship. Kevin was the perfect person for Brittany. They balanced each other out-Brittany would always listen to Kevin and he pulled her out of her shell. They had been dating for over a year and a half and were still going strong.
Twenty minutes later Aisling was the first down stairs wearing skinny jeans and a halter-top with a white jacket. It was summer in Seattle and the weather was seasonably warm. Brittany ran down the stairs ten minutes later in a denim mini skirt and tank top with Greek sandals. She plopped down on the couch next to Aisling and handed her a piece of paper.
“So this is why I am late. I was creating a list of lessons you could teach Joe.”
Aisling looked down at the paper and read the first lesson:
1. Buy an outfit for a friend
2. Having fun on a tight schedule
3. Making the best of a bad situation
4. How to order food for a friend
5. Telling your friend you don’t like their crush
6. Making it through the week without hurting yourself
7. Surviving with out a hair straightner
“These are good, Britt.”
“Oh I know and this way you will get a chance to spend more time with him.”
Grabbing a pen from the table Aisling wrote down another “lesson”
8. Figure out how to not walk in on Brittany and Kevin making out
“You just think you’re so funny Ais, it’s a wonder I put up with you,” Brittany replied sarcastically, “I have another one to write down.”
Brittany grabbed the paper and wrote down five simple words:
9. How to fall in love
Before Aisling could respond the doorbell rang, effectively ending their conversation. Brittany got up to answer the door. As soon as she opened she was swept into a hug by her over zealous boyfriend. Kevin buried his face in her hair causing Brittany to laugh, “Kevin! I just saw you yesterday. What are you doing?”
“I’m just so happy you decided to come on tour with us!” Kevin said, spinning her in a circle.
“What?” Joe and Aisling yelled together.
“I was planning to tell you today, Ais but then we got distracted,” Brittany shrugged, “But I decided that you would need someone on tour to balance out the gender difference.”
“Kevin give her to me,” Aisling squealed as she ran to go hug Brittany.
“No way! She’s all mine,” Kevin whispered pulling Brittany closer.
“What?! You have to share her Kevin! She’s my best friend.”
“You can have Joe. I’ll gladly swap you.”
Joe looked indignant at that, “gee Kevin, I am glad you think so highly of me.”
Brittany just rolled her eyes and grabbed her purse, “Lets go shopping people.”
The couples piled into Kevin’s hybrid SUV and drove to the mall with Big Rob following closely behind. The Alderwood Mall wasn’t very full on a Tuesday morning so thankfully the boys were not mobbed by crazy fans.
Brittany and Kevin went to the guitar shop to see if there were any good deals while Joe and Aisling wandered into one of the department stores. Aisling smiled deciding to teach Joe his first lesson.
“Alright Rocksatar. Last night you sent me a text message saying you couldn’t wait for me to teach you some lessons so here is lesson 1.”
Joe looked up at her, surprised, “are you serious? I was totally just messing with you.”
“Too bad for you Jonas. You have twenty minutes to find me an outfit to wear on the first day of tour and I will find one for you,” Aisling said in a calm voice, although she was slightly nervous at what he would pick.
“Alright, meet you back here in twenty minutes,” Joe replied with an evil glint in his eye.
He took off up the escalator to the women’s section and she ran to the men’s clothing section. Twenty minutes later they put their outfits into the dressing rooms. Aisling looked at what Joe had gotten her and immediately felt bad about the outfit she had picked out for Joe.
Hanging in the room was a blue silk halter dress, a pair of silver pumps, and a gorgeous silver necklace. It was exactly her size and made her feel gorgeous. She slipped it over her head and felt the silk shimmer down her body and stopped at the middle of her thigh. She looked fantastic and he was going to look ridiculous.
She heard Joe laughing in the dressing room next to her and wandered out to see what was the matter. She knocked on the door and he opened it, his eyes wide and a huge smile on his face.
“Aisling this is the best outfit ever!” He cried out laughing again.
“W-what?” she stuttered?
“I love it! Thank you.”
Joe stepped aside so she could walk into his room. There he stood in non-skinny jeans that still made his backside look amazing with a puffy shirt and a pirate hat. He looked surprising like Jack Sparrow.
Joe finally stopped looking at himself in the mirror and turned to look at her. And his jaw dropped, “Ais, you look…I mean you look.”
“Please finish the sentence Joe,” Aisling commented.
“You look amazing Ais,” Joe said, sliding a finger underneath her chin and pulling her chin up to look him in the eyes. He slowly smiled and looked at her lips. He started to pull her closer when they heard a knock on the door.

OK so i didnt have this chapter saved so i had to type it up again so its not exactly the same. hopefully its ok, let me kno
Chapter 4
Her heart was racing, being this close to him was dizzying. She was brought crashing back to reality by a sudden knock at the dressing room door. She could have killed the sales assisstant for ruining the moment that she had been dreaming about for the last two years. Joe gave her an apologetic look as the door opened. And in walked Kevin and Brittany. Kevin was totally oblivious to their closeness, but Brittany's eyes widened when she realised. Aisling felt the pink glow emanating from her cheeks and this deepened even further when she saw Kevin do a double take on her dress
"Wow Aisling, that dress... it's beautiful, but Joe you look ridiculous."
"Thanks Kevin, I guess my best friend has great taste." It pained her to call him her friend, because two minutes ago, one little kiss could have changed everything and made her the happiest girl on the face of the earth.
"Come on guys we have plenty more stores to hit. I still need an entire new wardrobe" Aisling said. They left the stores their purchases in their hands as they walked towards the next store. Brittany and Kevin were walking in front of Aisling and Joe. He was babbling on, but she didn't take note of what he was saying, her head was too full of the reasons why she and Joe could never be together. If they started dating and broke up on this tour, where would that leave her? She'd have to quit tutoring Frankie because she was pretty sure their relationship would be frowned upon. Besides, any school was reluctant to give a 19 year old a permanent teaching position. They just saw her age and thought "reckless, immature big bowl of crazy unfit to teach our children" But she was far from immature. If she was immature and not responsible she would have pounced on Joe long ago, leaving her heart open and vulnerable, susceptible to further heartbreak. But she was cautious, careful, responsible. She did not want to go through heartbreak like that ever again.
"Come on Smiley, wake up. It's your turn to order." Joe said smiling and waving his hand in front of Aisling's face. His smile faltered when she looked around totally dazed. She hadn't notice them even enter this side of the mall, let alone that she was standing in a queue in Pinkberry.
"Oh...sorry...um...surprise me?" she asked the guy behind the counter before making her way over to Brittany and Kevin, leaving Joe standing at the counter staring after, totally bewildered as to what was wrong with his friend. She sat down next to Brittany and she and Kevin gave her a concerned look.
"Aisling, restroom?" Aisling followed her to the restroom.
"Aisling, tell me everything,your walking around in a trance, OMG did you kiss??" she asked her voice shrill with excitement.
"Almost"
"I told you!!! He likes you the way you like him. Aisling this is fantastic."
"Brittany, I really like Joe, too much. That's the problem. Nothing can happen because I'm Frankie's tutor."
"Ais, you can fight this, or you can give into it, come on we better get back"
They left the bathroom and returned to their table, Aisling noticed her favourite frozen yoghurt at her place. "He got my exact favourtie, that's freaky."
"I ordered it for you."Joe said smiling sweetly at her. She returned the smile and they all continued to talk, Aisling began to relax again and only noticed why when she realised Joe was holding her hand under the table and tracing patterns along the back of her hand. They continued around the mall for a while until Kevin and Brittany decided to go to a movie and Joe and Aisling headed back to her apartment.
Once inside Aisling was tackled to the couch by Joe. He began tickling her furiously. Again their proximity and was intoxicating, the butterflies were back full force and were trying to escape full force. Her heart began beating double time, They were intoxicatingly close when....

Previously:
Kevin and Brittany decided to go to see a movie, while Joe and Aisling went back to Aisling's apartment. Joe tackled Aisling to the couch; her breath quickening and he tickled her furiously. They were intoxicatingly close again when...
Present:
…When Joe’s phone rang.
Joe let out a growl as he pulled his blackberry out of his pocket to look at the face flashing across the screen. Seeing it was his father, he decided to answer, “What’s up, Dad?”
“Where are you right now?” Paul asked his middle son.
“I’m in Aisling’s apartment about to kiss her. Why? What’s wrong dad?” Joe asked, concerned. He completely missed the look of shock of Aisling’s face when he told his father he was about to kiss her.
“I need you to get in Aisling’s car and drive to the movie theater where Kevin is and help him get out of the theater. Apparently hundreds of teenage girls have him cornered in the men’s bathroom and they are holding Brittany hostage until he comes out,” Paul Jonas stated.
Joe had a look a complete shock on his face causing Aisling to ask, “What’s wrong, Joe?”
About two seconds Joe had dropped his phone and was rolling around on the ground laughing. Aisling realized she wouldn’t be getting any information out of him and reached down to pick up the dropped phone but Mr. Jonas had already hung up.
Fed up of Joe she kicked him in the side. “Joe! Would you please act your age! Tell me what is going on right now,” She screamed at him.
Joe stopped rolling on the ground and looked up at her, “You sound really hot when you yell. I think its your accent coming out, I love your accent by the way.”
He sat up and patted the ground beside him. When she had settled herself on the carpet he told her what was wrong, “Brittany is being held hostage and the kidnappers are demanding that if Kevin turn himself over to them, no harm will come to her.”
Joe was trying very hard to not crack up at the look of panic that shot across Ais’s face. In about 2 seconds she had pulled Joe up off the ground and out the door to the house. Joe planted his feet causing her to fall back into him.
“Ais, slow down. I know who the kidnappers are. All Kevin needs to do is sign some autographs and they will let the happy couple reunite,” Joe stated, trying to calm her down.
“What?” Aisling asked confused.
“A bunch of fans have Kevin cornered in the bathroom and are holding Brittany hostage until he comes out to sign some stuff for them.”
“You jerk,” Aisling cried, punching him in the arm, “go grab your video camera and we’ll put this on youtube.”
Joe hugged her and swung her around, “You are my dream girl. Now let’s go save Kevin.”
Approximately two hours and 150 pictures later, Kevin, Brittany, Aisling, and Joe were back in the girl’s apartment. They all fell onto the couch exhausted. Joe looked over to Kevin saying, “You hid in the bathroom?”
All Kevin did was close his eyes and say, “We are never going to mention that again.”
