Things Don't Always Turn Out That Way - Chapter 3

I looked down at my watch a half an hour. She listened to hear them during their sound check. NFG had just finnished theirs and now they were sitting in the icky sand on a few jackets that they had brought with them.

"Hows the eye Jee?",Heather questioned.

"It's good is it really swollen now?", I questioned turning towards her.

"Looks like someone punched ya",she laughed.

"Haha",I said.

"You should be very happy about that eye because you fought to get it for Joel.. and look what happend",Dani statd.

"Would you guys stop. I bet you after tonight I will never hear from Joel again.. I'll see him at the next concerrt or where ever we go but I highly doubt we'll ever actually talk again..", I said looking at them. They all sat there with smirks on their faces.

"You guys all live in Fan Fic worlds that kinda shit doesn't happen to real people!",I said looking at them. Our guilty pleasure had been writing and reading fan fictions on a web site called GC Naptown (mwahahaha guys). There was some silence.

"Enough about me! what were you guys doing with them?",Jina snickered.

"Hey we didn't get "The Tour"", Ashley stated putting her fingers in the quotation marks.

"The Tour", I stated doing the same.

"Oppsie", Heather stated.

"GUYS... FILL ME IN PLEASE!", I whined again.

"Paul told us that when Joel shows a girl around the tour bus he likes her.. and he showed you around the tour bus.. and also that if he forgets to ask you your name.. and those were two things he did Jina..",Dani stated.

"They were just making that up they are rock stars guys hello.. do you have any brains?",I asked.

"No.. we're just trying to make the best out of this day",Heather stated.

"Your right guys Im sorry.. you know me.. nothing good ever happ...".

"Jina something good did just happen",Ashley said. I smiled.

~*~

"Hey girls!",I heard Joel's voice say. We turned around to see the boys in swimming shorts and black t-shirts. Heather looked down at Benji's legs.

"Check'n me out?", Benji questioned her.

"At least I dont use a cheezy pick up line son!",Heather stated.

"You girls wanna go for a dip?", Paul questioned with a grin staring at Dani.

"We dont have our suits...", Ashley said looking at how sexy Billy looked.

"We can wade in the water and watch you guys make fools of yourselfs in this icky water",I told them.

"Sounds good!",Joel stated looking at me. I smiled back at him. We just stood there like fools watching them.

"I have an idea...", I stated. I began to take my shirt off Heather tried to stop me.

"What are you doing?", she questioned.

"Im goin swimming", I told her.

"Are you crazy?", Ashley questioned.

"No", I stated taking my shirt off. I had on a blue camafolgue bra and matching panties so it sorta looked like a bathingsuit.

"Dude I thought she didn't bring her bathingsuit",Billy stated looking at Joel then over at Paul who was trying to show off.

"She didn't.....", he beagn to say as he looked over to see her handing the girls her clothes.

"She's in her bra and underwear she's fucking crazy!",Benji yelled. Joel just stood there with a big grin on his face.

"Guys shhh",Paul stated as he jumped on top of Joel knocking him under the water. In the bay you could only go out a certain distance because of the boats and it was really deep. There weren't any real waves like over at the regular beach.

"Hey boys",I said swimming up to them.

"I thought you didn't have a bathingsuit?", Billy questioned.

"I dont",I smiled. They all laughed.

"ALRIGHT WHO'S NEXT TO STRIP?", Paul yelled at the shore.

"NO WAY PAUL!", Dani screamed back.

"Fine",he stated with a pouty look. They began to head back but left Joel and Jina standing there.

"This water is really discusting and cold", I stated looking at him. He had a smirk on his face.

"Whats the matter? never seen a girl in her bra and undies before?", I questioned him with a laugh.

"Never in public",he said.

"Come on lets go back, did you guys bring towels.. I need to dry off cuz I dont think they're gonna let me in that place in my bra and underwear", I laughed.

"Yah sure you can use mine",he said.

"Okay... lets head back",I said.

"Yeah good idea", he told me and we swam back. We walked back up to where we had left our stuff. Joel picked up his towel and gave it to me.

"Joel if this is your only towel that you have.. i can....".

"Dont worry about it.. it's on me",he smirked. I smiled back at him.

"Guys lets do something fun!",Ashley said watching Billy dry himself off.

"Who wants to play on the play ground?", Paul yelled.

"ME!", Danni stated waling her hands in the air.

"Not me",Heather and Benji said. Heather blushed.

"Wanna go for a walk backstage?",he asked.

"Yeah Ive never been backstage before",she said as they walked away.

"Wanna stay here?", Billy asked Ashley.

"Yah I need a tan", she laughed.

"Me too", he stated taking off his shirt. Ashley was sitting down with her hands behind her to keep her up and she slid down.

"What? I know im albino",he laughed.

"No it's fine",she stated.

"Hey wanna go walk on the boardwalk?", I questioned. I was afraid of what Joel's repsonse might be.

"Yah.. that would be cool.. but can I have my towel when you put your clothes on?", he questioned. I smiled at him.

"Here", I stated as I began to put my clothes back on. Joel and I walked over to the bridge so that we could go to the other side to the boardwalk.

~*~

"Your parents actually kicked you out?", Joel questioned as he kicked the sand on the boardwalk.

"Yah.. basically Ive been sleeping at Heathers for a few months. but sometimes I go around to different houses",I said looking ahead at the sun and then over at the kids playing.

"Want some ice cream?",he questioned. I had a feeling he could sense I was uncomfortable talking about it so he changed the subject.

"I dont have any money.. on me shit I left my bag in your bus", I stated remembering.

"Dont worry about it. I got it", he stated taking his walet out as we walked over to an ice cream stand.

"Joel dont", I grabbed his arm. He looked at me and smiled.

"What do you want?", he questioned. I smiled at him.

v"Cookie dough", I stated looking down.

"2 cups of cookie dough ice cream", he stated to the spanish guy behind the counter.

"$8.50 sir", he stated sliding the ice cream over to him.

"Thank you have a nice day".

"You too", Joel stated putting his walet away then handing me my ice cream.

"You didn't have to", I stated.

"I know but I wanted to.. I mean one of my fans beat you up", he laughed.

"True", I stated.

"We better head back.. and get your bag before Benji steals something",he laughed.

"Your brothers a clepto?", I questioned.

"No Im just saying...", Joel smiled.

"Okay", I told him. Joel and I walked back towards the gate.

"Hey can I bring her back so that she can get her bag she left in my bus?", Joel questioned.

"Of course sir", the guy opened their gate and they quickly made their way towards the bus.

"Here we are again", he smiled.

"Yup", I told him.

"ah there is is", he stated picking up the black dickies bag and handing it to me.

"Thanks Joel", I said.

"Where are you guys sitting?",he questioned.

"4th row... $100 each for tickets but it's all good", I smiled.

"Thats great.. I can see you then", he said with a smile.

"Yah", I looked down and blushed.
