Vacation Eyes ~ A Joe Jonas Fanfiction

Chapter Thirty-Two: Happy When I'm Sad

As I walked back into my apartment in Montana, I layed in it, feeling relieved but sad that the journey with the Jonas Brothers on tour is over. As much as I would've liked to be in contact with Kevin, I do not think it's appropriate for us, given the circumstances with Joe. I didn't block Joe's number, but I deleted the texts and removed his number from my contacts. I did the same with Kevin's.

    I looked at my phone and scrolled through Instagram until I saw the news articles about me. 'Jonas finally broke up with Coffee Girl two months after the announcement?' was one of the first headlines I saw. I rolled my eyes as I opened the door to the apartment.

    The first thing I noticed there was that I heard someone breaking glass. I hold my phone up as a weapon and then the person turns around. It was Tessa.

    "JESSICA!" Tessa hugged me.

    "TESSA!!" I hugged her back.

    How did she know I was going to be here? I sighed, looking around the apartment and then at her.

    "How did you know I was going to be here?" I asked her.

    "I saw the headlines." Tessa answered. "You repaired Joe's reputation, so you didn't need to be in your fake relationship anymore, huh?"

    Tessa and I went to the coffee shop and spoke about the tour, and how she went everywhere in the United States, but she was way more interested in hearing about the Jonas Brothers and how they were as people.

    "So, how was living with Joe Jonas and his two hot brothers?" She asked me, as she took a sip of her coffee.

    "It actually wasn't that bad," I answered. "Not good enough to make me a permanent fan of them, but not too bad to the point where I absolutely despise them."

    Tessa smirked and then took another sip of her coffee. I was adding sugar to mine and stirring it.

    "Was Joe a good kisser?" She asked me.

    "You want my honest feedback?" I asked her in response.

    "Oh no," Tessa said, making a disgusted expression on her face. "Was he a bad kisser?"

    Kissing was important to Tessa, for some strange reason. If a guy couldn't make fireworks with a single kiss, she would always dip on them and find a guy that could. She was pretty like that, so it was much easier for her.

    "He was a good kisser." I answered. "I could kiss him for the rest of my life."

    Tessa laughed at the statement and so did I, hiding the fact that I am honestly sad that I can't.

    As Tessa and I walked through town, she looked around for any stores she could binge spend at. Shopping was one of her favorite hobbies, considering she could actually afford it. After looking around, Tessa takes my hand and leads me into a clothing store. This store had so much clothing in it.

    "So," Tessa looked at me. "What do you want to try on?"

    I shrugged. I wasn't really in the mood to do this stuff, I just wanted my arms wrapped around Joe. I really fell for him during our tour trip and now it's all over. Just like that.

    "Hey, what's up with you today?" Tessa asked. "It's your first day as a happy woman without being in a stupid tour bus!"

    I looked at her after that comment and then she hugged me, as she was able to tell that I was going to cry.

    "I just want to go home." I replied. "And I'm not talking about the apartment."

    "Cheer up!" Tessa exclaimed. "Now you're able to do all the things you couldn't do with the Jonas Brothers!"

    "I guess," I replied. "Never mind I said anything!"

    After we went shopping, I had four bags full of clothes from that store. Tessa had like ten bags and somehow she can fit it into her fingers. We headed to the car and loaded them in while I was still kind of down from losing Joe.

    It was all fake and for the cameras, but to me, it felt real. It started feeling real after that first kiss. I felt those fireworks people kept speaking about. Now, I have to act happy about it, when I'm just sad.
