Chapter 1


"Now, get out, you filthy little whore!" my dad yelled at my mother as we we're leaving out of my house.
"I'd rather be a whore than a dumbass!" my mother yelled as we were in our Mitusubishi Endeavor, with me trying to buckle in my 2 year old sister, Michelle. My dad is very abusive, especially when he's drunk. ANd, you can guess what kinda mood HE was in.
"Where we goin', Mom?" I asked, nervous.
"We're going to live with your aunt in California," my mom said. We live all the way in Missouri, so it was avery far drive. My family, is, like, literaly, scattered all over the US. But, out of all the family members, "Auntie" Denise is probably the the best to turn to. I mean, she's not really my sunt, but she's my mom's best friend from college, so she's kinda like an aunt to us.
"She's not our real aunt..." I trailed off, putting on my iPod, listening to my personal playlist filled with All Time Low and, my good friends, the Jonas Brothers, falling asleep.

--------------------
"Wake up, honey, we're in California," my mom said, holding Micky on her hip.
"Ooooohhhhhh," I groaned as the bright, California sun shone on my face. It blinded me so badly that I fell out of the car.
"Wow, Shailene, you're still the same as we last left you; clumsy," I heard a voice say in my ear. I opened my eyes fully to find my bestest friend, Nick Jonas, holding me, with my iPod still on, blaring "Just Friends".
"Oh, um, hey there," I said, getting up & shutting off my iPod, fully awake now.
"Hey, Shai, how's it goin'? I haven't seen you since your 5th grade graduation," Nick said, blushing & smiling from ear to ear.
"Hey. Well, if I'm here, then not so well, & yeah, it's been a looong while," I said, laughing.
"SHAI!!!!!!" I heard Joe yell from the front door, running towards me, tackling me.
"Nice to see you too, Joe," I said, gasping for air.
"Hey, Miss Shailene, nice to see you," Kevin said, holding my hand & kissing it, as if I were some sort of princess.
"Always the gentleman, huh, Kev?" I said, hugging him after he got up.
"Come on, Shai, I want you to meet someone who you're gonna love," Joe said, pulling me across the street. We stopped at a big-but-decent-looking house. Joe rang the doorbell eagerly, and a girl blaring her Zune opened the door with such enthusiam.
"Heyyyyyyyy, you guys. Who's this?" she said, gesturing towards me.
"Oh, this is a good family friend of ours. Shailene, meet Z'ya," Nick said.
"Hey I'm Shailene, but you can call me Shai," I said, being polite.
"Hey, I'm Z'ya, & I'm prolly one of the craziest people you will ever meet. Besides Joe, of course," she said. I immedieatly liked her.
"Okay, well, we've gots to go help Shai unpack, so we'll chat later," Joe said, with a wink. Hmmm, wonder what's going on between them.
We walked back to the house when Kevin said, "So, I overheard my mom talking to your mom & she said that you had gotten you first boyfriend. Is that true?"
I sighed. My boyfriend, Josh, (Writer's Note: yeah, it's Josh Golden. for those of you who don't know him, he's an amazing singer. go check him out on myspace & youtube!) was still home in Missouri, and I prolly won't ever see him again. "Yeah. He's really cool. He's really into music, like you guys."
"Really? Does he, like, play the guitar?" Nick asked. Yeah, he kinda has an obsession.
"Yeah. He's trying to find a label now. It's not as easy as it looks, though," I said, missing his soothing voice.
"You're telling me. You know how hard it is? I mean, you know that it took us, like, years to finally get to a good label," Kevin said, making me laugh.
"Yeah, so, like, now, we're finally... well, home," Nick said, resting an arm on my shoulders.
Hmmm, I thought, maybe living in California has its advantages, as I felt Nick's muscle flex on top of my shoulders.


Chapter 2:


"Nicholas, Joseph, Kevin, Franklin, Shailene, time for dinner!" Denise yelled from downstairs. We were up in Kevin's room, playing Crazy Taxi.
"Oh yeah! I won! Okay, guys, cough it up. Come on, don't be shy," I said, holding out my hand, wiggling my fingers, waiting for money.
"Sorry, Shai. I only have a five," Nick said when it was his turn to pay up, putting the crumpled bill into my hand.
"Fine. Good enough for me," I said, making my way downstairs. They all followed me, with heavy footsteps echoing in my ear.
"Mmmmm, Denise, that smells good," I said, sniffing the air.
"Well, thank you, dearie. Now, come on, we're going to say grace," Denise said, passing my me. Her husband, Kevin Sr., was already seated, waiting for everyone to settle in.
"Okay, who wants to say grace?" Kevin Sr. asked. Four hands, including mine, shot straight up. "Alright, Shailene, lead us on," he said, nodding towards me.
I nodded back, bowed my head, folded my hands, and started. "Dear God, thank You for this day, this wonderful, delicious-looking meal that You have provided for us. And, Lord, I just wanna thank You for allowing Denise & Kevin to let us stay in her beautiful home & taking care of me, my mom, and Michelle. In your name we pray, Amen."
"Amen." a chorus of voices replied back, and we all dug in.
"Yummy yummy, mommy," Michelle said, banging on the table. My mom fed her a spoonful of mashed potatoes, & she mummured, "Mmmmm," which made everyone laugh.
"You know that Michelle is possibly one one of the cutest girls I've ever known?" Nick said, then added quickly, "Besides one person, though."
"Oh really? Who's the other person?" I asked, holding my fork in my hand, looking at him.
"Well, you're gonna find out," Nick said, with an added wink.
OMG, I thought, is this boy CUTE or what?????


Chapter 3:


After dinner, the boys & I went back upstairs. They wanted to "sharpen up their Crazy Taxi skills", so I just let them, while I was on my laptop, trying to find good tickets for any good concert coming up.
I stumbled across an All Time Low concert in LA, & I screamed.
"What?" Nick, Joe, & Kevin asked in unison, with a worried look on their faces.
"Ohmygosh, ALT is having a concert in LA on Friday!" I yelled. I heard two moans & groans from my response.
"Who's ALT?" Nick asked genuinely intrigued.
"Oh, All Time Low. Besides you guys, they're my favorite band. They're having a show in Los Angeles on Friday," I said, getting excited.
"Really? Can I hear some of them, if they're as good as we are," Nick said, giving me "a look".
I laughed, & then went on YouTube, & typed in one of my favorite songs, Shameless. I clicked the first video I saw & it started to play.

Hips swaying, lips lie
Like clockwork, she's in control
Of all the right guys
And I'm still waiting
Fitting nights with a car alarm
Wears high-tops with her favorite stone
She's showing off the way she walks
It's on
Take me, show me
(Whoa oh, whoa oh)
The corners of your empty room
The trouble we could get in to
Just fake it for me
(Whoa oh, whoa oh)
Disregard the footsteps
And we'll never tell a soul
Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious
I walk a fine line
Between the right and the real
They watch me closely
But talk is cheap here
Like a weightless currency
Your words don't mean shit to me
I'm always cashing out
Take me, show me
(Whoa oh, whoa oh)
The corners of your empty room
The trouble we could get in to
Just fake it for me
(Whoa oh, whoa oh)
Disregard the footsteps
And we'll never tell a soul
Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious
I confess
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold
You've got me fucked up and so
You talk like you're famous
You're shameless
Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious
I confess
Tonight I'm dressed up and go
You've got me fucked up and so
You talk like you're famous
You're shameless
Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious
I confess
Tonight I'm dressed up and go
ou've got me fucked up and so
You talk like you're famous
You're shameless

Nick looked at me at the part near the ending with the guitar riff, banging our heads to the sound of the guitar. We laughed at our expressions.
"Wow, they are good. And can we play 'Dear Maria, Count Me In'? It's kinda my song," Nick asked, blushing out of nowhere.
"Okay, then. Let's watch it later, though. I kinda wanted to hear one of my other favorites," I said, typing in "Remembering Sunday".

He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past
Two in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days
Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs
Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs
She led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in
Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling
I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me
Even though she doesn't believe in love
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut
Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside
Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling
I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me
The neighbors said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense
Oh, I can see now that all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavor
To find my whoever, wherever she may be
I'm not coming back
(Forgive me)
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak
(I'm not calling, I'm not calling)
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt
(You're driving me crazy)
Now the rain is just washing you out of my hair
And out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world
From so many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, towering over your head
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home

I sighed. "That song is just... absolutley wonderful. I love it," I said, looking at the computer admiringly.
"Yeah, it is good. Man, I feel like writing," he said, banging his fists onto his lap, "Hey, wanna come with me to the Music Room?"
"Yeah, sure. Let's go," I said, shutting off my Mac, following Nick. He held out his hand for me, & I grabbed it, smiling from ear to ear.
We walked down a maze of hallways & passed by a dozen doors, & then, he stopped in front of a black door with gold writing that said, "The Music Room".
Nick smiled & said, "Here we are. The Music Room." He squezzed my hand & we went in. The room was HUGE. It had a whole wall full of Gibsons, with the acception of Kevin's Les Pauls. Also, tehre was a drum set, a row of tambourines on a pole, looking as if they were in mid-air.
"Wow. This is amazing," I said, completely blown away.
"Yeah. Everyone says that. Now come on, let's see if you remember how to play on a Gibson," Nick said, grabbing a tan acoustic, & I took it from his hands, & started playing. NIck's face was filled iwth shock as I was playing. To me, it kind of reminded me of something Santana would play, but moreso me, of course.
Then, Nick & I just started singing.

How come when I see you
It's like no one else is tehre
But you don't realize
How much I care for you
But you don't see
We're meant to be together
Through whatever
It seems
Like life
Got the best of you & I
But this time
I won't say goodbye.

After we had finished with the song, we both looked at each other, locking eyes, Nick's face positively glowing.
"Wow, you really know how to play. You still remember what my dad taught you?" Nick asked in shock, clearly amazed.
"Yeah. And, I taught myself other chords. And I play by ear, though," I said.
"Wow. You have lots of talent, then," Nick said, inching closer to me.
"Thanks. And you're not that bad of a songwriter, either."
"Well, thank you, Shailene. And, since when did you learn how to sing?" Nick asked, moving even closer than before.
"Well, you haven't really noticed what I'm capable of yet, so if your suprised now then just wait til later on," I said. I looked at him, & he was looking at me with such intensity that I wanted to do two things: 1) Look away and 2) Grab him & kiss him.
Just as I was about to do number two, I heard Joe Yell, "COME ON, SHAI, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE A SHOWER!"
I pulled out my cell phone & took a peek at the time. I kinda had a schedule, & i was way off.
"Ohmygod! Sorry... um... I gotta go..." I tried to say, but Nick held up his hand & nodded.
"It's okay. I understand," he said, nodding. I ran towards the door & the maze of hallways, trying to get to my room.
When I got there, Joe & Kevin had shut off my PS2 & were waiting outside my door.
"So, where were you & Nick? Making music?" Joe asked, & I got what he meant.
"Ohmygod, Joseph. Do you always have to take things to the extreme?" I asked, shoving two hysterical Jonases out of the doorway, slamming my door before Joe could answer.
I grabbed an old band tee & my favorite purple pajama bottoms &, of course, underwear & went in the shower. The warm water made me realize how cold I was, & I was practically shivering.
After I was done, I went into my room, fully clothed, & put on my blue iPod nano. I flipped through my Paramore playlist, & "Hallelujah" blared from the speakers.

Somehow everything's gonna fall
right into place
If we only had a way to make it all
fall faster every day
If only time flew like a dove
Well God, make it fly faster than I'm falling in love
This time we're not giving up!
lets make it last forever, screaming
"Hallelujah!"
We'll make it last forever
Holding onto patience wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
If only time flew like a dove
Well we could watch it fly, and just keep looking up (Chorus)
And we've got time on our hands
(We've got time) Got nothin but time on our hands
Got nothin but, got nothin but
(We've got time) Got nothin but time on our hands
This time we're not giving up!
Oh, let's make it last forever, screaming,
"HALLELUJAH!" (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah

After the song was over, I heard footsteps fcoming into my room. I looked up to see Nick, smiling.
"Ohmygod, did you hear ALL of that?" I asked, embarrased.
"Um, yeah, & you're still good though," he said, and, then, he walked towards me. I was nervous about what he was gonna do, but I realized I didn't have to.
He kissed me with such passion that I nearly fell over. I kissed back, suprised but happy. His tounge was begging for entrance, so I let him. It was so intense that I fell over on the bed, with Nick on me.
I pulled away, breathless. "Um... whoa," I said, with Hayley Williams's voice singing "Whoa" at the same time I said it. We both started laughing, and then, something hit me. Real hard.
"Ohmygod. I am... Oh, shit, I'm so sorry," Nick said, getting up.
"Holy fucking crap! Ohmygod, Nick! I canNOT believe you just got a boner!!!!!!!" I yelled at him, blushing really hard.
"Well, God, forgive me if I find you beautiful & attractive! Geez!" Nick said, angry now.
"Oh, Nick... you like me?" I asked, walking towards him, putting my hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah. Like, since I saw you at your eight grade graduation... God, you looked soo stunning. And, your smile was... was just absolutely bright & beautiful. And then, when you sang & played the guitar... God, you were just absolutely amazing," Nick said, wrapping his hands around my waist.
"Well, then..." I didn't want to explain, so I just kissed him, and we just embraced it


Chapter 4:


"Come awn, Nick! We're gonna be late!" I yelled. It was Friday night. All Time Low concert night.
"Hold on! Lemme just get my jeans on..." I heard Nick say on the other side of his door. He opened the door suddenly & I fell backwards, because I was leaning against the door. Nick caught me just in time.
"Oh my God, I am so glad you caught me," I said.
Nick laughed. "Yes, you are, Shailene Harrison."
"Okay, you guys ready?" I heard Z'ya ask from behind me, with Joe on her hip. She glowed whenever she was with him.
"Yup. Come awn, let's go," I said, making my way down the stairs, pushing Z'ya & Joe out of the way, with Nick's arm in my hand.
We drove for an hour, and lemme tell you, that was SOME hour. We were listening to my playlist that I had brought together.
During "Don't Trust Me", we heard a horn honk. We rolled down the window to find a girl with long, unbelieveably curly hair and the most stunning eyes.
"HEY! ARE YOU GUYS PYSHCED FOR THIS CONCERT???!!!!" she yelled from her car.
"YEAH! WHO DO YOU THINK IS CUTER???" I yelled, with 3 pairs of eyes staring back at me in shock.
"You don't even KNOW her. Why are you making small talk?" Joe asked, in shock.
"Just, watch, okay?" I said, and then turned back to the girl.
"I'MMA HAVE TO SAY ZACH! THAT BOY IS MAD SEXY!" she yelled.
"OH, I'M AN ALEX-LOVER. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" I asked.
"I'M MARAE, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME RAE. HOW ABOUT YOU?"
"I'M SHAILENE, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME SHAI. THIS IS NICK & JOE JONAS, WITH THEIR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR, Z'YA."
"OH, YOU KNOW THE JONAS BROTHERS?"
"YEAH, WE'RE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS!"
"COOL! HEY, SINCE WE'RE ALMOST AT THE VENUE, LET'S SAVE OUR VOICES FOR THE AWESOME CONCERT!!!!"
"YEAH. I AGREE. LET'S DO THAT!" I put my head back into the car, thinking about the conversation I just had, & bursted out laughing.
"Wow, Shai, you have NO problem telling people our business, do you?" Joe asked from the front seat. He could finally drive now, so he came along with us.
"Well, technically, I wasn't telling your business, just who you were, so," I said, raising my hands as if to say, "I have nothing to do with it".
"Ugh. You are so predictable," Joe said, shaking his head while Nick & Z'ya was laughing, with Z'ya's loud, high-pitched squeal of a laugh drowned out Nick's adorable, low-pitched chuckle. We pulled into the venue with Rae's car pulling up right next to us.
"Hey, I'm Rae," she said to Nick, Joe, & Z'ya, shaking their hands. They formally introduced themselves to her, and, then, a bunch of girls came out of her car, with shocked faces.
"God damn, Rae, I said to yell at a RANDOM car, not the JONAS BROTHERS' car!" one of the girls said.
"Well, it WAS a random car, so, there," she said, looking back at the girl.
"Oh, ya mind if you introduce us to your friends?" I asked, gesturing towards the group of girls. Out of nowhere, I felt Nick's arm wrap around my waist, his grip tightening.
"Okay, well, this is Ashanti, Janeece (Writer's Note: yeahhh i know i used her in one of my other storiess. but oh well, she's in anotherr one :D), Tiana, Sam, Autumn, & Patricia," she said, pointing to each one of them.
"Hi, I'm Tiana," the blonde said. She was really pretty, like movie-star pretty, and I got nervous that Nick would like her omre than me. But, considering him resting his chin on my shoulder, tighening his grip even more, I put the thought outta my head.
"Hey," I said, skaing her hand.
"Hey! I'm Sam!" a girl with brown hair with blonde highlights said, hugging me, making Nick let go of my waist, making me cold.
"Ugh. Sorry about that. I'm Ashanti," the girl who spoke earlier said. She was African-American, with glasses, and she was beautiful in a you-have-to-really-notice-it kinda way.
"And, I'm Autumn," a short girl with brownish-reddish hair said. She had big, black eyes and a lot of eye makeup, but it suited her.
"I'm Patricia," a girl who looked Korean said.
"And, now that you've met everyone, let's go watch some hotties in ACTION!" Rae said, running towards the venue, with her "possey" close behind.
"Wow, babe, she's as bad as you, but not as GOOD as you," Joe said to Z'ya, holding her waist.
"Yeah," she said, and they followed behind Rae & her group.
"Well, Shai, you know, since everyone's gone... I was think-" Nick got caught off from me crashing his lips onto his. He was shocked by it, but went into it easily. We were like that for a long while.
Nick, after the long while, was begging for entrance with his tounge, and I let him, kinda laughing at the feel of his tounge. I put my arms around his back, and went up towards his unruly curly hair, and it was really soft. He did the same, but put his hands around my waist, swaying to whatever song was in his head.
"Hey, you two, get a fucking room!" We heard a voice yell from behind us. We looked back, and our faces dropped.
"Ohmygod, you're... you're..." I couldn't speak.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm Alex. Who do you think you-" He stopped when he saw Nick's face.
"Dude. My niece loves you and your bros. Are you staying for the show?" Alex asked, suprised.
"Thanks. And, yeah, 'cause my girl here loves you guys," Nick said, hugging me.
"Oh, God, I'm sorry. I'm Alex," he said.
"Hey, I'm Shailene, but you can call me Shai," I said, taking his hand that he had put out for me to shake.
"Hey. So, why don't you guys stay backstage? It won't be a hassel," Alex said, his eyes glued to me.
"Uh, okay, sure!" I said, and followed Alex to the venue, holding Nick's hand.
"Um, Shai, can I tell you something?" Nick asked, whispering.
"Yeah, shoot," I said, whispering too.
"Well, I'd be careful of Alex. He looks at you like... like your his next fuck buddy," Nick whispered.
"Okay, then. Jealous much?" I asked, joking.


"Okay, California! We are All Time Low, and thanks for raping us Los Angeles! (Writer's Note: bahahahahaha. if you haven't watched the video of ALT in atlanta, then you're missing out :D) We love you!" Alex said before exiting off the stage.
"Oh my gosh, you guys were AWESOME!" I said, hugging each one of their sweaty bodies.
"Well, we try our best," Alex said, as he hugged me. His hug was longer than the others, and hard, too. I felt his sweat on my chest, blushing.
"Well, I've noticed." I said, literally tearing myself away from him, even though I didn't want to.
"Geez, Al, don't kill her," Zach said, with Rae on his hip. They became very close while waiting for ALT to perform.
I saw Nick out of the corner of my eye (he was on the phone with his mom), and he was practically ready to shoot ray-beams at Alex's head. I sauntered over to him.
"Hey, baby, why you look so upset?" I asked, resting my hand on his chest.
"Well, it's just that Gaskarth keeps flirting with you," he said, glaring back at Alex, who was talking to Rian, the drummer.
"Well, you know that I love you, riiiight?" I asked, getting a little bit closer to him.
That turned him on. I could tell because his facial expresson gave it away. "Yeah, and you know you're looking really hot right now?"
"Well, no, but thanks for telling me," I said, kissing him. He put his hand on the small of my back, making its way towards my head.
"Um, sorry to interrupt, but I need to get to my dressing room," I heard Jack say from behind. We both laughed.
"Um, sorry, dude, we'll get a room," Nick said, keeping his eyes glued to me.
"It's okay, Nick. I just REALLY need to pee," Jack said, pushing us out of the way.
We stood there laughing for a good 3 seconds and then Nick said, "Okay. I'm going to go & find Joe so he can pick us up at the curb."
"Okay," I said, watching him leave. I looked down at my phone, and the clock said 10:35.
"Hey," I heard a voice from behind me. It sounded oddly familiar.
"Alex?" I said. I couldn't move because Alex had his hands on my waist.
"Yeah?" he said, twirling me around.
His face was so close to mine, and he just kissed me.
It wasn't that bad of a kiss... okay, who am I kidding? It was AWESOME. He had his hands on my waist, his fingers on my belt loops on my jeans. I put my arms on his shoulders, totally into the kiss.
Then, Nick's ah-dorable face popped into my head, and I pulled away.
"I'm sorry... I just... I really love Nick..." I trailed off, then nearly crying thinking about if he saw this.
"Aw, babe, I know. But... God damn, you are just so fucking gorgeous," Alex said, leaning in for another kiss.
I looked away. "Look, how about I'll text you later, okay?" I said, pulling away from his grip on my waist.
"Okay," he whispered, and I walked away, leaving a speechless & happy Alex Gaskarth behind.
