Philadelphia

I was excited as we jumped into the car and it whizzed us off toward Philadelphia... I was so excited to see Oli on stage again and I guess he even seemed excited to be performing again. I hadn't seen Jordan, Micky, Lee or Matt since Conneticut six weeks ago, and so much had changed since then – I was actually kind of excited for them to see me and Oli together. They'd seen us together from early on, and I'm pretty sure Jordan at least always knew I had feelings for Oli... so it was nice that they'd now see it come to fruition.

We wandered into the venue, and Oli held onto my hand tightly. I felt as though he was proud to be showing the guys that we were together now... they hadn't ever actually seen us as a couple, even though it had been going on for over a month. "Oh look who it is!" Micky said, automatically turning and heading toward us from in front of the stage. The others all followed suit. I let go of Oli's hand and Micky grabbed me, lifted my feet off the floor and spun me – he did that every time I saw him and I loved it. "Long time no see! I missed you guys!" I joked. It had been over a month since I'd seen them, even though it felt like longer, and it was kind of mind-blowing that the last time I saw them, Oli and I were just friends – we hadn't even kissed at that point! I greeted the others with hugs too and then I looked at Oli, who appeared to be absolutely beaming. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed his cheek, and he kissed my forehead. "Aww... you guys look happy." Jordan cooed.
"You better get used to it, we're official now!" Oli quipped proudly with a proud little laugh while I giggled to myself.
"Oh really? Jordan replied.
"Yep, for some reason she agreed to have me as her boyfriend." he said, looking at me. There  was that self-depricating humour again.
"Awww..." Jordan cooed before the guys all congratulated us. It was kind of funny to me, but I guess I liked it. "Well we want to hear all about it, but we have to soundcheck." Matt said, killing the moment. I totally understood though, they were there to work and we had arrived a little late. We headed backstage and I chilled out on the lounge with my phone while Oli did what he had to do, though I followed him out to the stage a few times to watch him scream and test the microphone. I loved seeing that side of Oli come out. It was kind of like the dark, bad boy side of him... and I loved it.

As I sat on the edge of the stage watching Oli and the others down on the floor figuring out something at the sound box, I just smiled to myself. I sometimes found it hard to believe that I was where I was, that I had a boyfriend who adored me, that he was a famous musician... and that it was Oli; the guy I'd met when I was an absolute nobody and completely emotionally unavailable. It had been such a weird ride with him, but here I was now, beside him on this crazy journey called life.
"Hey Joy, what you doing sitting here?" I heard from behind me as someone came and sat beside me. It was Jordan, and he dangled his legs off the stage and looked down at the others with me, who were oblivious to us being there.
"Hey Jordan," I said as he joined me.
"What are they doing?" he asked as he looked at the others.
"Beats me, I'm just sitting here in a daydream to be completely honest with you." I admitted truthfully which made him laugh. I guess Oli heard him and it made him turn around and notice us there. He just looked at me and smiled, so I smiled back.
"You know, I've known him for a long time and I've never seen him this happy." Jordan said with a smile. I just watched Oli for a moment then looked over at Jordan happily. I can't deny it – I loved hearing him say that. I loved making Oli happy.
"Hey, do you remember in Conneticut, we were literally sitting on the edge of the stage like we are now, and I was telling you that I wished I had someone in my life?" I asked. "And you said to me you looked forward to the day someone got it right and I would come and tell you how in love I was?" I added. He smiled at me and nodded. I looked over at Oli and I felt so overwhelmingly happy.
"I'm so in love with him." I admitted happily before looking back.
"Awww..." Jordan cooed as he leaned in to give me a massive hug. "I'm so happy for you. You both really deserve happiness and I think you're perfect for each other." he said. "I haven't told him yet." I whispered. I knew I should, and I wanted to, but I wasn't sure if I should wait for him to say it first.
"Well, Joy, I think if you feel it you should just tell him, because I'm sure it's mutual." he replied, still hugging me.
