Okay so the forum posts are being weird and new paragraphs are not indicated anymore...hmph. So if you see a dash ( - ) that means it's a new paragraph. :]
Two:
- The morning following the concert I was sitting at the breakfast counter in my apartment when my phone started buzzing. Alex’s name was flashing on the screen.
“Hey,” I said.
“Hi Liv, are you busy today?”
“I just have to run a few errands but other than that, no. Why, what’s up?”
“I was wondering if you wanted to stop by the venue around five for dinner. It’s nothing fancy, just whatever catering puts out but I wanted to see you again, ya know, to catch up some more.”
“I’d love to!”
“Awesome, and uh…you can bring your friend Kerry if you want.” Alex said nervously. I laughed.
“Do you think she’s pretty, Alex? I know that voice.” I said with a smirk.
“No! I mean, yes she’s pretty but…gah! You always do this so me Livia!” He stumbled on his words and finally let out a defeated sigh as I laughed.
“Don’t worry bud, my lips are sealed.”
“You are so going to get it…” I took another bite of my toast.
“Alright, I’m going to go freshen up and do what I have to get done. I’ll call you later when we get there.”
“Sounds good, talk to you later,” I closed my phone got ready to go out.
- Once 4:00 rolled around I hopped in my car and drove over to pick Kerry up.
“Can you call Alex for me?” I asked as I pulled into the entrance.
“Sure,” I handed Kerry my phone. As I paid the parking fee I heard her talking to Alex. We parked and walked around to the back of the arena.
“Where are we meeting them?”
“He said he would be waiting outside for us…” Kerry said as we spotted the guys’ red bus.
“Liv, Kerry,” We both turned our heads in the direction of the voice calling our names to see Alex waving his arms back and forth while holding open a door with his foot.
“Hey Alex!” I called as we made our way over to him.
“How are you two doing?” He asked, hugging each of us.
“We’re good,” Kerry answered. I smiled to myself as we headed inside and Alex showed us a round a little bit. Eventually we made it to the room where everyone was eating.
“Who ate my food?!” Alex exclaimed as he raced to the table where Michael, Jason, and Joe Jonas were also seated. Kerry and I stood in the doorway and watched as the three guys cracked up. I heard Kerr let out a small squeal and I knew she was excited to be in the same room as Honor Society and the Jonas Brothers.
“You gonna be okay Kerr?” I asked jokingly.
“Yes Livia, I will be okay.” She answered mockingly. We walked over to where Alex was standing.
“Hey!” Michael said as he got up and came to give me and Kerry a hug.
“How’s it going?” Jason asked as he too gave us hugs.
“Joe, I don’t know if you’ll remember Livia. I think I introduced you guys like…once a long time ago.
“I think I remember. Nice to meet you again,” Joe stood and shook my hand.
“What?!” Kerry exclaimed but immediately covered her mouth with her hand. The guys chuckled and I patted her shoulder.
“Remember, Alex and Kevin were friends in high school?” I asked.
“Oh right, sorry.” She said as her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink. Alex brought us over to the table where Nick, Kevin, and Andrew were seated.
“Hey girls,” Andy said.
“Hi,” Kerry said and she quickly looked over at the two Jonases seated at the table.
“Kevin, do you remember Livia?”
“Of course! How could I forget your best friend? It’s so good to see you again. Wow…you’ve changed.” Kevin said as he got up to shake my hand. I blushed a little bit and smiled.
“It’s good to see you too.” I said. The three of us headed back over to the table Alex was previously seated at.
“You girls can take a seat; I have to go get more food thanks to those two jerks.” He said grabbing his plate and walking away. Kerry sat down in the seat between Joe and Jason and I walked around to the other empty seat beside Michael.
“So how’s the tour been going?” I asked, trying to start a conversation. Mike looked up from his plate and wiped his mouth with a napkin before speaking.
“It’s been amazing. Being on the road with the boys and Jordin has been such an awesome experience.”
“That’s good,” So much for a conversation… I thought. Luckily Alex returned to the table soon.
“So Liv how’s your mom?”
“She’s good, I think it’s been hard for her since I moved out but I try and visit as much as I can.”
“Good, good,” Joe got up to throw away his plate but then sat down with his brothers leaving the five of us at the table. An awkward silence hung over the five of us as the guys continued to eat their meal. I pulled my phone out and held it under the table when I felt it vibrating in my bag.

This is kinda awkward.
- I looked up at her and nodded. “It sure is. They were so talkative last night and now, nothing.” I responded.
“You guys are awfully quiet today.” Kerry said, breaking the silence. Michael, Jason, and Alex all turned their heads towards her.
“Sorry, I think we’re all pretty exhausted from last night. Andrew seemed to be the only one who could sleep last night.” Jason explained.
“Yeah, what time did the three of us finally fall asleep? Like…four?” Mike asked.
“Wow, that’s late.” I said and finally we all fell into a nice conversation. I pulled my phone out when it started vibrating.

I blame you for my inability to sleep last night...
;)
- I felt my heart start to speed up a little bit and a blush rose to my cheeks as I looked at Mike from the corner of me eye. He wasn’t looking at me; instead he seemed to be caught up in the conversation going on at our table. “Oh really?” Was all I could think of to respond with. I returned my gaze to the table and I noticed Michael reach for his phone.

Yes, really
- What a flirt! “Well then, I apologize for keeping you up all night. ;]” He let out a small laugh and tucked his phone back into his pocket. I still wasn’t quite sure what to think of that… So Michael was thinking about me last night. Whoa.
