It had been two days since Joey saw Taylor. She was now in Miami. Her father was staying with her for two weeks and then and he would come check on her every other weekend. She was staying in a posh hotel on the beach with all the rest of the crew working on the film.

"Hey Joey." Joey picked up the phone.

"Taylor." Joey exclaimed into the phone. "I have missed you so much, how did you get my number."

"I was wondering why you didn't call me so I decided to call. I called your mom back in Tulsa and she gave me the number."

"Sorry about not calling you. I have been very busy. We got into Miami very late and yesterday I spent the whole day at the set meeting everyone and today I was going over my script for tomorrow's shoot."

"Wow you have been busy. We've been kinda busy too. Last night we had a concert in Paris and we've been doing like a million interviews and stuff."

"Sounds like fun."

"Sure whatever. So who are you acting with."

"I'm acting with this really gorgeous guy his 5'11 blond hair."

"Yeah whatever Joey really who is it."

"OK his name is Matt Robbins he is 20 I think and he does have blond hair and brown eyes and a little bit taller then you."

"Has he acted before. His name sounds familiar."

"Yeah he's been in allot of films he was even nominated at the Oscars two years ago." There was silence between them for about a minute before Taylor spoke up.

"I don't know if a can go two months without seeing you Joey."

"I know Taylor but you have your job to do and I have mine." Joey stopped for a moment holding her hand over the receiver. "What is it Dad."

"Tell Taylor good-bye we have to leave in 20 minutes."

"OK Dad." Joey got back on the phone. "Listen Taylor I have to go now I'll call you tomorrow. I love you."

"Bye, I love you too." Taylor hung up the phone.

"How's Joey doing." Zac asked his brother as he got off the phone.

"She's doing fine. She really didn't tell me much except that she's been real busy and this gut she's acting with." Taylor sat down on his bed.

"You miss her don't you." Isaac asked sitting down next to Taylor.

"Yeah."

Joey was out taking a walk on the beach when she heard someone call her name.

"Joey." Joey turned around and found Matt calling her.

"Hey Matt."

"Do you mind if I walk with you." He asked her as he walked beside her.

"No" She replied.

"So how do you like working on the film."

"Its really cool. I've only been here a week and I feel like I have learned so much."

"Yea its pretty cool I've been acting a long time though so its not really that exciting anymore its just like a job I have to go to everyday."

"So Matt how old are you then."

"I'm 19 have been acting since I was real young. How bout you."

"I'm 15. This my first time to act actually my second I was in a music video."

"Cool a music video which band's video were you in."

"Hanson's Thinking of You."

"Hanson I can't stand them. I like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins that kind of music."

"I like that kind of music too. Whats your favorite Nirvana song." Joey asked him completely forgetting that he just dissed her boyfriends band.

"All like them all but I guess It Smells Like Teen Spirit."

"Yeah I like that one too. I can play most off their songs on the guitar."

"Really I can play the guitar too. Wow we have allot in common."

"Yeah I guess we do." Joey looked at her watch. " Um I have to go now. My Dad told me to be back at the hotel at 8 and is now 8:05. I'll see ya tomorrow bye." Joey said as she started to run down the beach back to her hotel.

Another 2 weeks had passed. It had now been almost a month since Taylor had seen Joey. Hanson was now back in the States touring and had a month of the tour left the same time Joey would be done with her film. Zac was also missing Joey. He missed all their jokes and they way he could always talk to her. He decided to call her to see what she was up to.

"Hello" Joey picked up the phone in her hotel room.

"Joey its me Zac."

"Zac. I haven't heard from you in a long time how is the tour going."

"Its going great were in LA right now. How have you been doing. I hope you haven't been doing anything with one of those hot Miami guys." Zac teased her.

"Funny Zac. I've been busy but I have had allot of fun. I'm kinda scared though right now. My Dad had to go back home and he's not coming back until I'm coming back home. But my Mom Is coming for a weekend with my sisters in a week."

"So you're all alone."

"Yeah I guess you can say that but I have been hanging out with Matt his pretty cool."

"Taylor is really missing you he calls you everyday but you are never there and also he sent you this long poem he wrote for you on the computer but you never emailed him back."

"Email I totally forgot about the computer. I have been do tired and busy. We have been shooting at night this week. This was are first night off. Tell Taylor that I am so sorry for not getting his calls or emails."

"Yeah I'll do that."

"Is he there can I speak with him."

Zac looked at Taylor in their room watching TV. "Um no he's not here." "Why did I just lie to her. I like her thats why. I want her to just talk to me for a change. I can't like her though she's going out with Taylor. I have to just get over it." "Wait Joey Taylor is here. I'll put him on for you." Zac put Joey on hold. "Taylor Joey's on the phone."

"Joey, give it to me." Taylor ran over to the phone taking it from Zac. "Joey I am so glad to here from you I have been trying to get you for over a week now."

"I know Taylor, Zac told me everything. I have been filming at night all this week and I'm sorry for not getting your email."

"That's OK I'm just happy to her you talk to me right now."

Zac was listening to Taylor speak. It made him disgusted to hear him talk like that. Zac left the room deciding to give Taylor some privacy.
