I got up to Joe's bedroom and laid my head down on his pillow, trying not to think too much about him. With my cell phone sitting on the table next to the bed, I kept having thoughts in the back of my head saying 'just call him. He'll answer. Wait, don't call him. Yea, maybe I should call him. No, wait. I wont. I'll call him in the morning.'   I fell asleep thinking about Joe, what was I going to do? I couldn't stop thinking about him. I wake up to my cell phone going off, so I sat up looking at the clock: 3:00 am. I looked at the number: Joe! Then I laid my head back down on the pillow hoping he'll just figure I'm still sleeping and hang up. I was wrong, he left a message.

'Hey Jess, it's Joe. Listen, I'm sorry for calling you so early, I know you're still sleeping. But I can't stop thinking about you. You are the first thing on my mind everytime I think about being home and the last person I think about before I went to bed tonight. I miss you so much, and again, I'm sorry to have called you so early. I kinda figured you wouldn't answer with it being so early. I hope you still have that promise ring I gave you, 'cause there's something I wanna say to you when I get back home. Well, I should go. Let you sleep, huh? Suppose I should get some sleep. Love ya, Jessica. I'll see you when I get home.'

When I got up in the morning I had made sure to check my messages because I knew that Joe had left me a message. I listened to it on my way downstairs and their mom had seen that I had tears coming down my cheeks, so she asked me what was wrong. I told her about the message and she got the look on her face. Apparently before Joe and his brothers had left for their tour, Joe had told his mother what he was going to say to me when he got home.
