Hello Beautiful 《 Joe Jonas》

The Talk

Joe P.O.V

I tried to recollect what all happened yesterday. To the almost kiss to us barely talking after the concert. All of the mixed emotions were really messing with me. And I can't help but wonder why we are playing this silly game of us wanting to be together but then not talking. I finally get up out of my bed and get ready for the day. I head to where the tour bus is located. I walk up to the door and open it. I checked to see anyone was waking, and I was not surprised I didn't see anyone awake. We did get pretty crazy at the concert last night. I just chilled on one of the couches waiting for Barron to wake.

About after 2 hours later, I hear movement from the back of the bus. I look up to see a dressed Barron up and ready. She came over to the couch and sat right next to me.

"Hey, sleeping beauty. I tried calling last night before bed. But you didn't pick up. I guessed you were asleep, so I didn't call anymore." She stated sleepy

I sighed, "Yeah, I was pretty much out after I hit my pillow. Look, I came here to talk to you. Do you wanna get breakfast?"

"Of course, let me grab my purse, and I'll be right down."

I waited by the door for a few seconds before I saw Barron return, and we headed out trying to find a restaurant . We found this cute little cafè so we won't be bothered as much. I ordered a coffee while she ordered a water with lemon.  I began conversation,

"So, uh, can we talk about what's going on between us?"

"Oh. Uhm, yeah, sure. I wanna say I really do like you, and I wouldn't change anything, but uh, but -"

"But what?"

"I just don't think I'm ready for a relationship. I am barely making it alive. I wouldn't be here now if it weren't for Izzy. I really do like this, but I just don't know. If you know what I mean." She said with a huge sigh.

As she said that, I felt my heart break not because she said that to me but because she is going through so much she can't even think about a relationship right now. I finally get the confidence to say something,

"No, it's alright! That's what I need to hear from you. What you want right now. And if I have to wait for the Earth to explode for you, I would." I reached out for her hand and held it tightly, grinning at her.

"Thanks for understanding, but while I try to figure this out, you won't leave, right? I don't know what I would do if I left you." She grinned at me. I nodded my head at her.

Barron P.O.V

That was the hardest talk ever in my life. I love Joe with my heart, but I still can't cope with my life right now. I need to get my life on track before I even add more things to it.

We head back to the bus and find everyone awake. Everyone knew what we were doing, but they didn't know how we turned out. I just give JinJoo the pleading eyes to talk or more so cry onto her shoulder. She knew everything about me and Joe. I confided about it with her for everything. Jinjoo pulled me away from the group, and we started to talk again with her questioning,

"Girl, what happened?"

"I messed up so badly. I told him I can't right now, and maybe I need a little more time to think and get my life on track, and all he said in return was a nod and grinned at me! Ugh, I'm so stupid of course -"

"Hey, if he didn't say no, he didn't say no. He's not just going to cut you off because you told him that you needed a little bit of your time before making a decision." She said, cutting me off.

I nodded as she stood up and declared that I would stay here and she would send Kevin out to talk to me, too. Kevin was like the big brother I never had. He had the best advice for me other than Jinjoo.

A few seconds later, I was in deep thought about this situation until I was engulfed into a big bear hug and a promising voice,

"Hey, Jinjoo gave me the basic version."

I sniffled, "Yeah, I just feel stupid because of this whole thing. I love him, but I feel like he won't like me that much anymore because I said that to him."

"No, don't even think about that. He wouldn't leave you even if it was for a lot of money. He loves you so much, and he cares about you too much. Plus, if he ditched you, I would beat the pulp of him, let's be honest." He chuckled as he held my shoulders with his arm draped over my shoulder.

I looked at him with the most puppy dog eyes and gave him a big hug as i sobbed into his shoulder.

"Ugh, I should not be crying, but  you are such a good older brother. And you aren't even my brother." I sniffed as I wiped my eyes. He had some tears flowing, and I wiped them away. He did the same to me, too.

We both got up and headed over to the bus again, and we entered acting normal. Everyone knows not to question us, even if we do look like we cried. I walked over to the couch and took my place on it next to Joe. I leaned my head on his shoulder. As I did that, I heard him release a breath as if he was scared. We all just listened to the brothers talk about what was happening later on in the concert and what we should expect. After they went over my part, I slowly drifted into my own LA LA Land until I felt nudged. I look up to Joe, and he whispers,

"Kevin just asked if you wanted to come out again during our part to sing another song." Oh well, what song I wondered.

"Uh, yeah, sounds great. Just tell me what song and I'll be there." I laughed, embarrassed.

We continued, and we all soon found things to do. Mine was to crochet. We all occupied ourselves for the remaining 2 hours before needing to go to the stage to get ready for the concert.
