9:00am
Jina trudged through the snow in NYC to get to The Hammerstein Ballroom on 34th street 2 blocks from where she lived. Jina was wearing black pants and a white blouse for work. She had to go to work to clean out the theatre and prepare it for Good Charlottes arrival the next day. She didn't tell any of them that she worked where they were going to preform and she wanted it to be a suprise.
" Whats the problem we need to get to New York City tonight", Joel pannicked as the bus driver had pulled over.
" Well son it looks like a bad snow storm is upon as and we'll have to camp out here until the morning", the bus driver said. He was a chubby old man with a white beard and no hair. Joel sighed as he sat down at a table in the front of the bus.
" Joel what are you doing up here?", Heather asked grabbing a soda from the fridge.
" We have to stay here over night which means we wont get to New York City until tommorow and if not tommorow who knows when, Heather I really miss Jina Im going f*cking crazy without her", Joel stated.
" Listen Joel, I went f*cking crazy well i know this isn't 3 months but the 3 weeks without him I went crazy but I knew I'd see Billy soon and the more I didn't think about it the more fun I had while waiting", she told him with a reassuring smile.
" Thanks Heather you better get back to Billy he's prolly going to.. come out here any second.....".
" Heath baby where have you been? you left me?", he questioned peaking his head out of the bottom bunk by the doorway.
" I was getting a coke, and I was talking to Joel you dont need me that bad do ya?", she questioned with a smirk.
" You f*cking bet I do mama now get over here", Billy smirked. Heather ran over to him and shut the door leading to the bunks. A few minutes later he saw Benji coming from the bunk area.
" Joel come on we're playing Grand Theft Auto on PS2 get your a*ss back there and I'll get us a few beers", Benji stated.
" Okay", Joel stated getting up and walking towards the back.

Jina sat down on new purple sofa that she had bought to match the purple chair that came with the aparment. She sat there with her cloud blanket on her and some popcorn. The movie she was watching on ABC had just ended and there was scrolling on the bottom of the screen about a Winter Storm Watch for the whole tri-state area. Jina worried about wheather Joel would make it here in time or not. She picked up the white cordless phone next to her and dialed his cell.
" Hello?", she heard Joels voice and she wanted to melt.
" Joel, it's Jee", she stated happily.
" Jina omg we are stuck somewhere in Jersey I think and we probually wont even get to New York City until tommorw, you think our show might be cancelled?", he questioned.
" Oh gosh I hope not, Im sure you guys will reschedule if not", she stated.
" Yeah... wait Jina your breaking up... JINA???", Joel screamed as the phone went dead.
" God Damnit", Joel stated as he slamed the phone shut.
" Joel this game is making you too violent", Paul joked.
" F*ck off Paul, Im going to bed night guys", Joel stated as he walked towards his bunk.

" Jina this is Mr. Eddington down at the Hammerstein due to the weather conditions this morning The concert tonight is cancelled but we have it moved to tommorow evening at the same time, the band will still be in town so that is the set date see you tommorow", he stated on the answering machine. Jina woke up it was her 25th birthday it was March 11th 2004. Her Benji and Joel have spent every birthday together since they had met they always concidered themselfs the triplets.

"Hey guys I just got a call from the Hammerstein, it looks like we'll be doing the show tommorow night", Benji stated as he got off of his cell phone.
" We're still going to New York City today right?", Joel questioned worried.
" Don't worry Joel we're going to New York City today and your going to suprise Jina at her apartment, we got the address and your going up there", Benji told his brother. Joel looked at Benji with a smile.
" Your making the right decision Joel", Benji stated walking toward the front of the bus. Joel walked over to his bunk which was one of the top bunks. He opened the little blue box that the ring he bought her came in. He turned it over and looked at it. "This is why she left me", Joel stated thinking back to Jenn. He smiled and realized how childish he acted when he had asked Jenn to marry him.
" Joel we're almost to NYC", Billy stated about an hour later.
" I'll be out in a little while", Joel stated he stated jumping out of his bunk and heading for the bathroom. He locked himself in the little bathroom and looked in the mirror at himself.

Jina was in her black finch shirt and her pladded red and black sweat pants when she heard the doorbell ring.
" I'll be right there", she called. She was putting away some laundry. She ran to the door her hair was up in a messy look'n bun. She opened the door.
" HAPPY BIRTHDAY!", said a big boquet of white roses.
" Joel is that you?", she giggled.
" No it's the flower man", he laughed. She took the flowers from him and invited him in. He looked around the living room which led to the kitchen then after the kitchen was a long hallway that led to the bedroom and bathroom. She placed the flowers on the kitchen table and ran back to Joel. Joel picked her up in his arms and held her.
" Jina baby I missed you soooo much", he stated setting her down and looking into her eyes.
" I missed you too, and I sure as hell wasn't expecting you to be here", she laughed.
" Yeah me too", he smiled.
" Well come on sit down on the couch", she told him.
" And Happy birthday", she stated picking up a box and giving it to him. Joel looked at the small box in wonder to what it could be.
" Well are you going to stare at it or are you going to open it", Jina smiled.
" I think I'll stare", Joel smirked. Jina smiled back and hit him.
" Ouch okay Im opening", he smiled.
" I know you dont wear jewlery but I couldn't find anything that was special enought without it being jewlery", she stated.
" I dont care", he stated slowly opening the box to find a silver bracelet with the lyris "God Only Knows" written across the top. He looked at Jina and put the bracelet on his wrist.
" Thank you Jina", he stated as he gave her a kiss. She pulled away with a smile.
" Ive got something a little special for you", Joel stated. He grabbed Jina and pulled her up as he got down on one knee. He went to his back pocket but was having trouble pulling something out of it. She laughed at him.
" Here it is", he stated looking up at her.
" Jina Riens will you be my wife?", he questioned.
" Yes Joel, yes I will be your wife", she stated. Joel placed the ring on her finger and jumped up and kissed her.
" Ive been waiting for you to ask me that since that day we met", she confessed.
" I wish we could have met a better way", he told her.
" Me too but lets just forget about that day and focus on right now", she told him as she planted a kiss on him.
" MMMM", he stated. Jina took him by his shirt collar and brought him to her bedroom.
