Paradise {COMPLETED}

Chapter 4

"Mia, come on sis, wake up." I wake up to see Jaxon. "What's wrong?" I ask, turning on a lamp. "You slept through your alarm. Dad told me to wake you up." I nod, "Thanks, bub."

Today I'm moving to Nashville, with my favorite band. This all seems too unreal. Josh, mom, and Alan decided it would be best for me to skip school today.

I get up, and do the regular stuff. I toss a few last minute things into my duffel, then sit it by the front door.

"Hey sweetheart, you nervous?" Josh asks, kissing my head. I nod, "Way more than you'd imagine." He strokes my hair, "You're gonna be just fine. You're gonna make new friends, plus, you're living with a member of your favorite band!" I nod, "Yeah! I can't even imagine what living with him can be like. It's like my world is falling into place."

"I'm glad. Sure gonna miss your face around here though," he sighs. "I'm gonna miss your face more than you'll ever know. Maybe once a week we can FaceTime?" I ask. He nods, "I look forward to it."

~3 PM~

"Mia, Alan's here!" Josh exclaims. "Be down in a minute!" I reply. I take one last look around my room. I'm really going to miss living here.

I grab my bag and race downstairs. My entire family, and Alan are waiting in the kitchen. "Hey Mia!" Alan exclaims. I grin, "Hey."

"I'll be outside waiting," Alan says, giving me a few minute alone with my family.

I hug each of them individually. First, my mom. "Mia, I'm gonna miss you so much," she cries into my hair. "I'll miss you too, mommy," I reply. "Love you. Be good," she says, kissing my hair.

Josh next. "Love you kiddo. Call me as soon as you get there," he says, holding me in his arms. "Love you too, Josh," I reply, throwing my arms around his neck.

"Bye Mia. I'll miss you," Meghan says. I lift her slightly off the ground, "I'll miss you too. Be good," I remind her. She nods.

"Bye M," Jaxon says, giving me a bear hug. "Bye J. I'll miss you," I cry. "I'll miss you like crazy," he replies.

"I love you guys! I'll call as soon as I get there!" I exclaim, heading out the door. "Love you too!" They all exclaim. I brush a few tears away before I join Alan in his car.

"Mia, you okay?" He asks. I nod, even though there are tears streaming down my face. "Wanna talk about it?" He asks. I shake my head. He nods, "Okay. I'm here for you, honey."

He pulls into the driveway of a really big hotel, just inside the city. "You can leave your stuff in the car. The guys are waiting inside."

I follow him inside, and he enters a big hotel room. The guys are spread out, doing different things. Caleb is playing Mario Kart. Chad is giving voice lessons. Joey, well who knows what he's doing, actually he's napping.

"I'm back!" Alan exclaims. They all stop what they're doing and come over to greet us.

"Hey girl!" Joey says hugging me. "Hey Joe," I reply. "You seem sad," Caleb says. "Turn that frown upside down!" Chad exclaims. "Guys, lets not push her," Alan says. They all nod in agreement.

"Do you guys have any other tour stops?" I ask. "We did, but we postponed them. I want you to get settled before we tour anymore," Alan says. I grin, "You didn't have to do that." He nods, "Actually I did. It was my calling from God."
