Joey's POV:

*knock*

*knock knock*

*KNOCK*

I rolled out of bed and went to the hotel door. When I opened it Rose was standing their. She said "what happened to your neck?" My eyes widened and she grinned. "Get your mind out of the gutter! What do you want?"

"We are going to go skateboarding. Come on get dressed!" I kinda do want to try skateboarding again. I let Rose in and went to get dressed.

I put on my black ripped jeans, black tank top that said 'judge me' on it, my light blue vans, and a grey beanie. When I came back joey had her hands behind her back. I gave her a look and she said "I have a surprise for you." She brought her hands in front of her and she has a hot pink skateboard that said 'joey' on top and 'Michael's girl' on the bottom.

"Thank you so much Rose!" She smiled and I gave her a big hug. I wrote Michael a note and told him where we're going. Rose led me to the parking lot that was mostly empty.

We started on the sidewalk. It was pretty fun until I didn't see the curve and fell off. I landed on my side pretty hard and it hurt, a lot. Rose rushed to me and helped me up. My arms were petty scraped up and my left side was throbbing. Even though I was in pain I didn't show that I was. It wasn't that bad, I've done worst.

When we got back to my hotel room Rose kept apologizing and I told her I was ok. I forced her to go to her hotel room and chill out. She felt terrible, I know Rose. She was freaking out.

I grabbed a pair of shorts and a t-shirt so I could go take a shower. It stung when I washed my cuts and scrapes. I seen the start of a bruise but I couldn't see the whole thing.

When I got out of the shower I wanted to see my back. I got dressed except for my shirt. I had on my grey sports bra. There wasn't a mirror in the bathroom, only in the bedroom.

Michael was still asleep in there, but I really wanted to see what my back looked like. I was only wearing my sports bra and shorts. I'll just have to be very quiet.

I poked my head out of the bathroom and seen that Michael was still sleeping. Quietly I snuck towards the mirror but tripped over my duffel bag. Wow nice going Joey. Michael rolled over to face me and seen me. I turned around so my back was facing him.

"Wow joey, what happened to you?" He sat up and walked to me. My face was really red by then. I've always been self conscious about my body. I kept my hands and arms over my stomach and chest trying to cover up. He put his hand on my left shoulder and I flinched because it hurt. He quickly took his hand back and turned me around.

"Joey what happened?" "Well Rose and I went to skateboard. I fell of and this is what happened." "Are you ok?" "Yah." He gave me a look and I said "I'm a little sore." He held out his arms to give me a hug. I didn't untangle my arms from my chest and stomach, but I walked into his arms.

Michael cautiously wrapped his arms around me and gave me a hug. He kissed my shoulder and said "you don't have to cover up. You are beautiful and you shouldn't be self conscious." I smiled and wrapped my arms around him.

I looked in the mirror and seen a huge bruise on my side. It was mostly on my back and it hurt like hell. I put my hand on it but jerked it back instantly. Michael said "are you ok?" I shook my head yes and he gave me a look. "No..."

We laid back down and watched tv for a while. Michael rubbed my un-bruised side trying to comfort me. It worked, I was very comfortable.

*****later that day*****

Joey's POV

Rose's little brothers and parents came to visit us. Dylan is 15 and Alex is 13. It is so funny when they come and see us. Right know they are driving Rose crazy. They hid her skateboard, let's just say she didn't take that well.

Right know Rose is sitting on Alex and painting his fingernails. They both are bigger then her but it is just sad that they couldn't fight her off. Dylan is video taping her and I am laughing my ass off.

Rose's dad came in the room and when he seen what was going on he said "what happened this time?" All three of them looked at each other and said "joey did it!" After Dylan and Alex ran out of the room laughing.

I glared at Rose and her dad left the room. "Why did you blame me?!" "Because it is fun blaming stuff on you." After we argued I handed her Ghost, her skateboard, yes she named her freaking skateboard. She squealed and said "omg ghost! Are you ok?" "Jesus woman! You are weird! I'm going to find Michael."

I left the room with Rose following me. We headed to Luke and Hailey's room. When I opened the door the sight I seen did not surprise me one bit. Boys these days.

Calum, Michael, Luke, and Ashton were jumping on the bed. The funny part was they were listening to steal my girl by one direction. Hailey and Demi were secretly recording them. Calum had Demie's brush and was singing into it.

When they finally realized what was going on Hailey and Demi ran out of the room with their phones laughing. Calum and Luke chased after them. Rose and Ashton left to and it was just me and Michael.

Michael grinned and said "let's go get some ice cream." "Sonic?" "Sonic." I giggled and we walked out of the hotel and walked to sonic. On the way I skipped like a 4 year old. I sang "we're off to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of oz!"

I giggled when Michael gave me a weird look. He grabbed my hand and I started to walk like a normal person. After we got our ice cream we started to head back. It was getting dark and hardly anyone was out.

Michael's grip on my hand tightened and I looked at him. He pulled me closer to him and he looked ...worried? I looked behind us and seen a man following us. Oh crap. We are almost to the hotel.

I felt some one grab my butt and I instantly freaked out. Michael turned around and pushed me behind him. I looked over his shoulder and seen the devil himself, Jake. Just seeing him caused me to shake in fear.

Michael asked "what do you want?" Jake chuckled and said "Joey, I want Joey." I pulled out my phone and texted Rose.

J- this is serious! Jake is hear and I need help! Bring Demi! Anyone! Demi can drop kick his ass!
R- I will be there really quick!

I shoved my phone back into my pocket. Michael said "you can't have her." Jake was about to punch Michael when I heard Demi yell "OH HELL NO!" When Demi yells that you better run. Rose, Demi, Rose's dad, and Ashton were running down the sidewalk.

Ashton punched Jake right in the nose causing him to fall back. Michael grabbed me and we started to run to the hotel. Rose and her dad stayed behind to call the cops.

When Michael and I got back to the room I instantly crumbled and started to cry. I felt so violated. Michael pulled me into a tight hug and I cried into his shoulder. He rubbed my back being cautious of my bruise and kissed my forehead.

Why? Why did I date him. I closed my eyes and tried to remember. I quickly pushed that thought aside and hugged Michael tighter.

"Joey, I have something for you." I looked into his eyes. "Joey, I have loved you since we were little. I want you to be in my life forever. You are my everything. I love your eyes, your smile, your laugh, your lips, your temper, your huge hart, and so much more. The list goes on for ever but I want you to promise me that when we are old enough we can get married and start a family."

When he finished my tears of pain turned into tears of joy. He pulled out a little black box and showed me a beautiful silver ring with a little Dimond in the middle with two sapphires next to it. On the inside it said 'I love you to the moon and back'.

I couldn't find words. I shake my head yes and he put it on my finger. Michael picked me up and spun me around. I was giggling and when he put me down he pulled me into the most amazing kiss.

This boy will be the death of me.
