Prologue

          Sooooo, to start of this amazing story of my life, I'll tell you a little bit about me. My name is Becca and when this journey started out, I was 14 years old. I had one brother and one sister. My best friends, Alli and Maddie, have been my best friends for who knows how long. We lived next door to each other for over 19 years and even when we all got married and moved away, we stayed as close as ever. Well, I think that is all you really need to know to mostly understand this life journey. Now Im going to tell you how the most amazing thing...EVER...happened to me.

Chapter 1

          "OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to get this dress!!!!! You look absolutely AMAZING!!!!" "Woah Maddie...calm down. I can't get the dress...I don't have enough money for it." Even though I did look freakin GEORGOUS in this dress. "Fine, fine. Get the one over there then." Alli pointed across the store, only to the ugliest, and cheapest, dress in the store. "Ummmmmm...yeah...I don't think so." We all burst out laughing. I walked into the dressing room and took off the dress. We left the store...it was depressing. I WANTED THAT DRESS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!! Oh well. "Hey guys," I randomly said, "I left my wallet in the dressing room, You guys go ahead to the car, and i'll meet you out there. Ok?" "Alrighty...hurry!!!" I walked back to the store, got my wallet, and left. I looked back at my dress and then ran into something. Knowing me...I probably ran into a wall. I looked up and my story started...

Chapter 2

           "....ummmmm...uhhhhhh...I'm uh......sorry...." I was speechless. Well, I definately did not run into a wall. I ran into a person...a very famous, muscualr, hot, talented, amazing person. The one...the only NICK FLIPPIN JONAS!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know what to say. It was really weird though because it was just Nick...no one else...not even Big Rob. He looked right into my eyes and said, "Oh, don't worry about it. Its fine. At least you're not screaming. That's what I really wanted to get away from. I mean, I love my fans sooooooooooooooo much, but sometimes you just need to get away." Oh...My...God!!! Just hearing his voice made me want to fall over, or melt, or something like that. "I understand," I studdard out. "But why aren't you with your brothers?" "We don't do everything together, but right now they're actually at home. I told them I needed to get away and they were just like 'Go. Do what you need to.' So I left. I didn't know where I was going, so I just drove. And look where I ended up...im Kansas...at a mall...talking to you." Then he did the most amazing...beautiful smile in the world. All of a sudden my phone vibrated. Oh, dang. I forgot about Alli and Maddi in the parking lot. I told them that I saw an old friend and that I was getting a ride home. I looked at Nick and said, "Sooooo, how much longer are you gonna be at the mall?" "I  don't know." "Well, as long you want to hang out." "Well then, we might be here forever." He did that smile again. I got goosebumps.

Chapter 3

           "So, how did I end up being the only person here to notice you?" I asked...shaking. "Well, first of all...look at what I'm wearing." He motioned to his clothes, which, like he was pointing out, weren't his normal outfit. Black sweats, blue t-shirt, a baseball hat, and a sweatshirt. Man, did he look good!!! "Its not what people usually see me in. Plus I've walked around with my head down almost all day. I was actually shocked that nobody noticed me before you did...but at the same time, I'm happy," he said as he nudged my arm. "Oh," I said...still shaking, "well I guess I'm happy too. If someone else ahd noticed you, then you and I wouldn't had met and be talking like we are now." He laughed...and I was freaking crazy!!! I couldn't stop staring at him and shaking. WHY COULDN'T STOP SHAKING!?!?!?!?!?!?!? We walked by the store with my dress...I wanted my dress soooooooo bad!!! Nick saw me practically drooling as we walked by and asked, "So...you like that dress in there?" "Um, yeah...a lot. I tired it on earlier and it looks amazing on me!!!" "Go. Try it on. I want to see." So I went and tried on my dress. I walked out and and Nick looked at me and said, "Wow. You were right. You do look amazing in that dress. Why can't you get it?" "It costs too much. I don't have enough money." He thought for a second. "I could buy it for you...if you want." "Noooooooo, no, no, no. Don't do that. I'll find another dress. I don't want you to spend your money on me." "Okay then." He looked at me and did his to-die-for smile again.

Chapter 4

             We walked around the mall for a while more, then we realized it was about to close. Nick looked at me and aasked if I needed a ride home and I told him I did. We walked out to his car and Nick, like the gentleman he is, opened the door for me. He got in and asked where to go. I told him where and then we were off. "Well," Nick started, "You've heard enough about me," (which wasn't true...) "I want to know a little about you." "Well..." What could I say? "Um...well...my name is becca." I gave me a look and said, "i already knew that. You already told me. What do you likt to do?" That one was easy. "I dance. All the time. Dancing is my passion and I don't think I could live without it." He smiled. "Um...what's your faveorite color?" I laughed then said, "Purple." "Ok. Now...where do I turn?" I didn't know what he was talking about, then I looked around and figured it out...we were almost at my house. "Next right." We got to my house and just sat in the car for a minute. Nick looked at me and said, "What's your number?" If you thought it was going to be really romantic or something...it really wasn't. I gave it to him and he gave me his. I told him I had to go and started to get out of the car. He grabbed my arm. "Wait." Oh buddy. "I don't want to get out of touch with you. You are great and I really want to be great friends with you." I looked at him and said, "Don't worry. We'll stay in touch." He leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. He gave me a big hug and I left. I have to say...that was a pretty good day. But it was over. The best day of my life was over.

Chapter 5

        When I got inside I called Alli and told her everything. She was sooooooo mad she didn't go back with me to get my wallet. When I told her who I ran into she screamed so loud, I think the whole world heard her. It was pretty dang funny!!! When I got off the phone, I realized that the day really was over, and I probably would never see Nick again. That's when the tears started. When I was with him all the stress and everything on my mind just melted away. Then my phone vibrated. I looked at it and the tears went away. It was Nick. He was serious about us being friends. I opened it up and all he said was, "Hey," but a simple, "hey" was all I needed. My good mood was back. We talked for a while, mainly about the day and how much fun it was. When he said he had to go, yeah, I wasn't so happy anymore. I was back to being depressed in an instant. These mood swings really had to stop. I really needed to calm down. Oh well...

Chapter 6

         The next few months were terrible. My mood swings kept getting worse and I couldn't focus on anything. Thank God we weren't  in school. I mean, Nick and I talked every day, but maybe that wasn't helping. Well, I was on my way to the dance studio when I heard some very good news!!! The Jonas Brothers were coming to Kansas City!!! I was defininately going to that concert. The radio station was haveing a contest to get front row tickets and backstage passes. I called the station and the phone was ringing!!! "Mix 93.3. You have just won 2 front row tickets and backstage passes to go and see the Jonas Brothers!!!" Oh. My. God. I couldn't believe it. I screamed soooooooooo loud, the whole world probably heard me. I was going to see Nick again. I immediately texted him and told him. This was great!!!

Chapter 7

              I spent all day, the day of the concert, getting ready to go. I was soooooooooo excited!!!!! Nick couldn't wait either. I decided to take one of my best friends, Maddie. She was soooooooo super excited. My mom took us down to the Sprint Center, the arena in our city, and dropped us off. We screamed when we got into the building. We went up to one of the big security guys and asked where we were supposed to go to get backstage. He pointed to a door and, man, did we run!!! We slowed down when we got to the door. I knocked on the door and I heard Joe's voice say, "Come on in!" I opened the door and we walked in. Nick looked up at me and we both broke out with the biggest smiles ever. I ran over to him and gave him the biggest hug in the world. I looked around and Kevin was laughing, Joe was eating, and Maddie had a really jealous look on her face. I mouthed "sorry" to her and kind of shrugged. She just laughed. Nick asked me who was with me and I introduced Nick to Maddie. Nick brought Kevin and Joe over and introduced Maddie and I to them. The guys were sooooooo nice. Then Big Rob walked over and said, "Sorry girls, but the show has to start in ten minutes and you need to go get in your seats before somebody takes them." Maddie gave everybody hugs and I gave Joe and Kevin hugs. I walked up to Nick and we just looked at each other. Then, being the stupid emotional person I am, I burst out crying. Nick took me in his arms and just held me. I couldn't go through the mood swings and being depressed again. What was my problem anyways? I tried to pull myself together and I left. Maddie and I found our seats and sat down. I didn't know that the concert was going to be the best night of my life. I was in for an amazing surprise...

 Chapter 8

               The first half of the concert was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, what did you expect? It is the Jonas Brothers!!! Anyways, they opened with one of my faveorite songs, Tonight. It was sooooooo great. The second half of the concert was just as amazing for everybody else, but for me, it was even better. The last song they were supposed to play was Live To Party, but they threw in an extra song. They left the stage, then just Nick, Joe and Kevin walked back on stage. The rest of the band wasn't there. Nick walked up to the microphone and started talking. "Um. Tonight is a very special night. I got to see one of my best friends in the whole world." He looked down at me and smiled. "This person helped me when I was going through a hard time and every time I need to talk to someone, they are always there for me. Tonight we are gonna play one of her faveorite songs." The whole time he was talking, Nick was looking at me. Then I heard the beginning of my faveorite songs ever...Love Is On Its Way. Nick was looking at me through the entire song. The song ended and I heard the most amazing four words come out of Nick's mouth. "I love you Becca." My heart dropped into my stomach. My eyes teared up, but this time, I wasn't sad. I was soooo extremely happy. Once they left the stage and all the lights turned back on, Maddie and I ran backstage. I burst through the door and ran into the room. Nick just stood there and motioned to me to go over to him. I walked over and we walked over to another room. I looked up at him and asked, "Do you love me?" He paused for a second. "Yes. I truly do." "Are you in love with me?" I asked. "Yes." Oh, thank God!!!!! He cupped his hand around my jaw, leaned in, and kissed me. And, yeah, I kissed him back. This was the start of a very good life.

Chapter 9

          Nick looked down at me and smiled. Then he had a really concerned look on his face. "What?" I asked. "Are you in love with me? I mean, I know you kissed me back and all, but do you love me, or am I just making a fool of myself?" I had to laugh. Of course I was in love with him!!!!! "Nick...of course I love you!!!! I don't know how I would've survived if you hadn't said anything. I mean, I guess I've known that I was in love with you for a while, but I never could figure out what the feeling was." He sighed in relief. "Good." Then a thought popped into my head. I kind of wish it hadn't. "Nick...you announced this to, like, the whole world. I mean, it makes me feel soooooooooo good, but what about the press in stuff. What about the magazines and all that?" Of course I opened my big mouth. His big, sweet eyes were melting into me. "Becca, honey, I don't care about all of that. All I care about right now is you. We'll deal with all that, I promise. But right now, I just want you, and me, to be happy." He knows how to make me happy. "Sooooooo..." I had to change the subject from the press and that stuff, "aren't you staying in town another day?" "Um, yeah, we are!" YESS!!!!!!!!!! "Well, I was thinking I could show you around the city...or everywhere where I won't get lost..." He laughed then said, "That would be great. Where were you thinking of going?" "Well, probably the Plaza, then maybe Zona Rosa or Legends. They're all shopping places that are outside, and they're a lot of fun." He smiled, again =]], then looked at his phone really quick. "Umm...it's supposed to rain tomorrow..." "Well then...looks like we're going bowling!!!" He laughed then said, "Fine with me!!! I can't wait!!!"

Chapter 10

          "Strike!!!!!!!! Haha!!! I win!!!!!!!," I yelled out laughing. "For the first time out of ten games," Nick said...also laughing. It was two in the morning. As it turned out, it didn't rain until that afternoon, so we went down to the Plaza and then to Legends. Afterwards we went out to eat, and then to the bowling alley. The alley was supposed to be closed, but it was the Jonas Brothers, so they kept it open. We were all worn out, but we kept playing anyways. We were having so much fun!!! While we were all playing I realized Joe and I were exactly alike. It was really weird, but completely awesome at the same time. Kevin was, by far, the nicest person I had ever met. He was sooooo funny too!!! Frankie was absolutely adorable!!! He was hilarious!! The Jonas parents were amazing. They were soooo nice and cool! They talked to my parents to tell them where I was and that everything was fine and that they would take me home and all that jazz. Anyways, it was late, and I needed to go home...as much as I didn't want to. We all cleaned up our mess and put our shoes away and loaded on into the tour bus. We got to my house and thats when I realized that I had to say goodbye. I was sitting next to Nick and Joe. I looked over at Nick, and there came the water works. I was bawling. "Awe," Joe started, "don't cry. When people cry I get emotional. Do I have to fall or something to make you feel better?" That made me laugh, but I was still gonna cry. Nick wrapped his arms around me and rocked me back and forth. He kissed my forehead then loosened his arms so he could look at me. "I love you," he said. "You are all I'm gonna think about, and you know that." He kissed my face again. "I love you too," I said, smiling a little. He kissed me...on the lips...for a kinda long time. We hugged for about five minutes. I have everybody else hugs and then went inside. I looked through the window at the bus leaving my driveway. The window opened and Nick stuck his head out and smiled at me, assuring that I was gonna be ok.

Chapter 11

          After the bus was out of sight, I ran up to my room and cried. My phone vibrated and I opened it up and started crying even more. Nick texted me and told me that he loved me. I told him I loved him too and that I missed him. My mom heard me crying and knocked on my door. "Come in," I said through tears. "Becca, what's wrong?" I hadn't told her about the night of the the concert yet, so she had no idea. She knew Nick and I were good friends, but not, oh, you know, IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Ummm, well, at the concert on friday, umm, Nick kinda announced to everybody who was there that he was in love with me. After the show Maddie and I went backstage so I could talk to him and I told him that I love him too. Then today we were with each other all day, and you knew that, I'm just really gonna miss him and I don't know what to do." My mom's face was in shock. "Wow," she said. "I didn't expect that to come out of your mouth..." "Uhhh," I started, "yeah........" My mom gave me a big long hug then said, "Becca, hunny, you're young and still new to this. Nothing is gonna go wrong if Nick really loves you." "I know...," I said. My mom left the room and I fell back on my pillow and cried some more. I was still talking to Nick and eventually I fell asleep.

Chapter 12

         Three months had gone by and Nick asked me if I wanted to spend a couple weeks with him and his family in L.A. Well, of course I was going to!!! I couldn't wait. I had all of my stuff packed up and I was ready to go. I got on a plane and was off. The flight was 4 hours long, which really wasn't too bad. When we landed I called Nick and said he sent one of his friends to get me because he was working in the studio. The person he sent knew what I looked like and would come up to meet me. I got off the plane and went to go get my luggage. Suddenly a random girl, probably about a year older than me, ran up to me. "Becca?" Ok.........."Uh...yeah..." She looked really happy. "Ok, good. I thought it was you, but I had to make sure." Who was this person? And why was she so happy to see me? I think she saw the confused look on my face, because she said, "Oh, I guess I didn't introduce myself. I'm Lindsey. Nick sent me to come and pick you up. I'm really good friends with the Jonas Brothers and I'm they're reporter. Not, like, tabloid reporter, but...its a long story. Anyways, I already got you're luggage," she held up my bags, "and the car is waiting outside. You ready to go?" "Oh, um, yeah. Let's go. I can't wait to get started with everything."

Chapter 13

         Once we got in the car, there was a driver so Lindsey didn't have to drive, Lindsey and I were talking non-stop. It was almost funny how alike we were. We drove for a while and I was soooooooo amazed. L.A. was so cool!!! We had been driving around for a while when we arrived at the recording studio. I couldn't hide the smile on my face. We got in the elevator and went to the seventh floor. It dinged and the doors opened. Standing outside the doors, looking absolutely AMAZING, was Nick. I ran up and gave him the biggest hug ever. Then I gave him a big long kiss. I'd wanted to kiss him for a really long time...three months one week and five days to be exact. We walked into the studio and Joe and Kevin were there. I gave them both hug, I mean, I missed them too!!! Nick put his arm around me and said, "I have a surprise for you." He smiled and I looked up at him. "Oh, really? A surprise for me? Haha," I said sarcastically. We walked over to the other side of the room. There was a big bag with tissue paper sticking out. I kinda looked like a birthday present. "I know your birthday was about a month ago," I was right, "and I could'nt be there for you, even though I wish I could've been. So I got you something that I think you're really really gonna like." He handed me the present and I started opening it. I screamed sooooooo loud. It was my dress...I mean, MY dress. The one from the mall the day Nick and I met. The one I couldn't afford. I basically attacked Nick I hugged him so hard. I couldn't believe it. Too bad this happiness didnt last very much longer...

Chapter 14

         "What am I wear this dress for?" I loved that dress soooooooooooooooo much, but I wanted it for a dance that already happened. "Well," Nick said, "The Teen Choice Awards are in two weeks and I was thinking you could go with all of us and kind of experience all of that. You would be able to walk the carpet with us and everything." He did one of those smiles where it was like he was saying, "PLEASE!!!!", but not. I don't know, but of course I was going to go!!!! Then a thought popped into my head...the night Nick told my whole city he loved me, it really didn't make headlines because aparently they thought he meant love like a friend. There's not a lot of drama in my city so it really wasn't a big deal. "Ummm, Nick? What's everybody gonna think about this? I mean, no body really knows about...uh...us." Nick aparently already thought about that because he answered really fast. "If they ask, and you don't want this to be public, we'll say that we're cousins or something like that." That could work......"Wait, are you saying that if it's okay with me, we could tell the whole world that we're together?" "Well, yeah. I love you, and I'm gonna love you for a long time. Let people know that I love you and you love me, it's up to you." "Well, I'll think about it. That's kind of a big thing...but I can't wait to go!!!" And possibly ruin my life forever...

Chapter 15

         Finally the night was here. I had waited for two weeks for this. I finally got to wear my dress and, like, the cutest shoes ever!!! Lindsey and I went out shopping to find the perfect pair about a week before. Anyways, I was already ready to go. Nick knocked on the door and asked if I was ready to go because we had to leave. I opened the door and the look on Nick's face kind of made me realize what I looked like every time I saw him. "You look beautiful," he said. He took my hand and we walked outside. We were going in a limo!!! Not one of the cheapo ones that you rent, but a huge, nice one. It was a hybrid too. I got in and Joe, Kevin, and Lindsey were already there. When we got there, I realized that I never made my decision on whether or not we were going public, but Nick probably wouldn't say anything because he wasn't sure what I thought about this. Some gross looking guy with a camera came over and asked who I was. I really had no idea what to do. Nick came in and said something I really wasn't expecting. "This is my girlfriend, Becca." Whoa...once he said it, I really wasn't sure I was okay with it. I looked at Nick and asked, "Why on earth did you just say that? I never said I was okay with it, and I'm kinda not." "Well," he answered, "You never told me not to, and I wasn't sure, so I just said it. I'm sorry." Well, it was already out in the open, what else could happen? Well, I was definately going to find out...

Chapter 16

         The rest of the night paparazzi wouldn't shut up. I don't think I had ever been bothered that much by people. What was worse was that Nick just told me that it was going to happen and he couldn't do anything about that. Well, I knew he couldn't do anything about it, but he could at least comfort me or something. Honestly, I was getting kind of mad. After the awards, the boys won everything they were up for, we went back to the house. I was tired and just went to bed. I was about to fall asleep when someone knocked on my door. "Come in." Joe walked in and sat on my bed. I just looked at him and then finally asked, "Yes?" "Oh," he said, "I need to talk to you." Ummmm...okay? "About," I asked. "Tonight. You seemed mad about Nick telling everybody about you two. Then, you wouldn't even talk to him. Are you okay?" "Look Joe," I said, "I'm tired and I don't really want to talk about this." "Becca, if there's something wrong, tell me. If you don't want Nick to know, or something like that, I won't tell him, but I'm worried about you." Well, at least someone cared about me and my situation. "Okay, I didn't want people to know about Nick and I. I never said he could say anything and he just said it. Then people wouldn't stop bothering me and I was seriousley about to punch somebody. I'm just not used to all of this." Joe looked at me, and looke concerned, but understanding. "Is that all?" I nodded my head. "Okay. If there's anything else you need, I'm always here for you. Just think of me as, like, your big brother." He gave me a hug, then got up and left. I loved Nick, but I just wish he would understand where I was coming from. He wouldn't even ask if I was okay, and his brother, who I'm not dating or in love with, would make sure. Maybe tomorrow would a better day.

Chapter 17

         The next morning I woke up at about ten. I would've been sleeping still, but someone was knocking on my door. "Come on in," I said sleepishly. Nick walked in. He looked like he was sorry. "Umm, Becca? I need to talk to you...about last night." "What?" I asked. "Are you gonna apologize or something? That's all what I want to hear right now." Nick sat on the chair that was right by the bed. "Listen," he said, "I didn't mean to make you mad. You neer told me if you wanted to go public or not, and then I just blurted it out." I took a deep breath then said, "Well, I kinda figured that you wouldn't say anything cause I never made up my mind. I thought you would've known better." He grabbed my hand. "I'm sorry. I don't know what else I can say. I can't take back what I did because it's already been done, and I don't know what to do. Okay? Are you happy? I don't know what else to do. I'm so sorry, but you have to understand, I love you and I don't know what I would do without you. I would never do anything on purpose to hurt you. I didn't mean to make you mad or to make you hate me..." I had to stop him there. "Nick, I never hated you...ever, Was I mad? Yeah. Did I hate you? Absolutely not. It's really hard to hate somebody you're completely and totally in love with." He looked almost shocked when I said that. He sat up onto the bed and took me in his arms. "I will never, ever, do anything to hurt you again. If I do, well, I don't know. I won't so you have nothing to worry about." We kissed when we heard somebody randomly yell, "OW OW!!!" Nick and I both turned around and said, "Joe!!! Get outta here!!!" Everything was fixed. Hopefully this time it would last longer.

Chapter 18

         After three weeks in California, it was time to go home. I soooooooooo did not want to go home!!! Nick and I had just worked everything out and I wasn't ready to leave him. I didn't really have a choice though, practice for dance team started in two days. I got all my stuff packed up and I was ready to go. I went downstairs into the living room and the whole Jonas family, plus Big Rob and Lindsey, were there. "I guess it's time for me to leave. The plane leaves in an hour," I said. "Yeah...I guess so," Nick said. He put his arm around me and started walking me outside to the car. Everybody was behind us. Something was up. "What's going on?" I asked."Well..." Joe started saying, "I can't tell you yet. You'll find out in a second." Jeeze!!! I wanted to know what was going on!!! Nick opened the car door and motioned for me to get in. I started getting in the car and then I saw something. It was a piece of paper. I know...not very exciting, but what was written on that piece of paper was pretty dang awesome!!! I started reading it, then I screamed. I was going to own a freaking dance studio!!!! The family had bought a piece of land and they were going to build a studio for me to own. It wasn't going to ve done for a while, but I wouldn't be able to open it until I was done with high school, but that was okay. "Soo...do you like it?" Kevin asked, laughing. "Ohmigosh yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!" I said. This was soooooo cool!!!! I was finally going to be able to live my dream.
