Unexpected [Joe Jonas]

Love Birds

"You're the one I want Joe, but I can't."

He just looks at me puzzled. "Tell me why?"  His confused voice begs.

I look down ashamed. "There are a lot of things that are wrong about this."  I start pointing at me and him. "Us. How am I supposed to trust you? You can have any girl. I don't want to be some easy chick that jumps at the thought of getting in bed with you."

"I'll prove to you. Anything you want, I'll do it. Anything you need, I'll get it."  He persists, not giving up.

I nod and leave him on the dance floor, heading to the bar for another drink. That's where I run into a different Jonas. "Heyy Ava. You look upset. Did something happen?" Nick asks slightly drunk.

I ask the bartender for a drink and answer Nick. "I don't even know. I reaaally like your brother, but I don't know how to go about my feelings. I don't want to move too fast, but not too slow that he loses intrest."  I ramble.

Nick listens and speaks up. "This would be a lot easier if you just let him in. Its like you're always pushing him away, afraid to get hurt. Joe would never do that, especially to a girl that's so special to him. The way he talks about you... I think he's in love."

I smile and thank him for the advice. I take shots until all the negative thoughts are gone, leaving me at peace, before heading to the lounge that everyone is chilling in.

I search the room for my curly headed boy and drunkenly give a goofy smile when our eyes meet. I seat myself next to him and lazily rest my head on his shoulder looking dreamily up at him, not really paying attention to anything else.

After a minute I start to become self aware of my actions, and engage in the conversation happening around me. 

"I can't believe the tour is starting so soon!" Someone says.

"I know! Only a month away!"  Another cries.

"Who's excited?!"  I cheer a bit louder than I hoped, and a celebration erupts around me from all directions.

The body next to me shifts around I turn to look at them. To my right, the girl I was talking to earlier at the rehersal nudges me. "My name is Tiffany, but I go by Tiff. I figured I'd tell you since we never got a chance to earlier." She introduced herself.

I introduce myself back to her and she asks how my night is going. "Its been complicated. I'm trying to figure out whats going on with me and Joe."  I reveal in a low voice, making sure he can't hear what I'm telling Tiffany.

She smiles in a way that says 'I told you so'.  I just nudge her jokingly in the arm. "So was I right?" She wonders.

I scrunch my forehead together in a look of unsureness. "I think? I don't know! Its hard to tell with Joe." 

She listens and looks past me at Joe, who is now immersing in the conversation around us. "You know, he always looks happier whenever he's around you. You should really take this chance." Tiff advises.

I sigh. "That's what everyone has been telling me." I inform her. She then shoos me away, encouraging me to talk to Joe. I give in and turn to face him.

My palm meets his thigh to get his attention. "Joe, can I talk to you for a minute? In private?"  I whisper in his ear. He says a quick "Okay", and I grab his tough arm, bringing us to a seemingly empty hallway.

I let out a breath that I barely knew I was holding and glance at the taller man. "I want to be with you. I need to be with you, but we shouldn't rush into things." I tell him, my voice threatening to break.
