"Hello?" Sasha asked, picking up the phone.

"Hey," Joey said quietly.

"Hey Joey," Sasha smiled. "I've missed you so much."

"You wouldn't believe how bad I want to see you," Joey said. "It feels like it's been so long."

"It has," Sasha replied. "How is Chris?"

"Tired," Joey answered. "But good. I have an idea. Dr. Johnson, the doctor that helped Chris, said probably after about three months, it would be good for him to take a vacation. I want you and Eryn to come with us. We might go down South."

"That would be great," Sasha said. "But what about Eryn and Justin and Lance?"

"They'll get over it," Joey said. "By then, for sure. But will you be okay with JC around?"

Sasha's stomach dropped. "Um, of course, Joey," she said.

"Good," Joey said. "I'm going to call later on tonight."

"That would be great," Sasha said. "When is your next concert?"

"It's booked somewhere... I forget where, but in about five months," Joey said.

"In Canada?" Sasha asked.

"I don't think so," Joey said.

"Oh," Sasha answered, disappointed.

"Sasha, there is something I've been meaning to tell you," Joey said.

"Who's on the couch, and who gets the beds?" JC asked Lance and Justin.

Justin shrugged. "Doesn't matter."

"I'll take the couch," Lance said. "I'm the shortest... I can fit."

"Okay, I will take that bed," Justin said, pointing to a bed.

"I guess I'll have the room," JC said. "I have to make a phone call."

"Okay," Justin said. "Do you know how long we are staying here?"

"I think a few days," JC said. "Then I don't know."

"Okay," Justin said. JC walked into his room.

JC put his bag down on the bed and sat beside the phone. Taking a deep breath, he picked up and dialed.

"Is something wrong?" Sasha asked, concerned.

"No," Joey said. "I just wanted to tell you something. About the way I feel."

Sasha smiled. "Okay."

"Usually, the guys tell me that I am the flirty one, and I can never stay with one girl at a time..." Joey took a deep breath. "What I am trying to say, is that you, Sash, you've showed me what it's like to have a relationship... I really care about you."

Sasha smiled. "Thanks, Joey. I really care about you, too." Her phone beeped. "Damnit, I have another call coming in."

"Okay," Joey said. "I'll wait."

"Thanks," Sasha said. "I'll be quick." She clicked over. "Hello?" She waited and there was no response. "Hello?" she said again.

"Sasha?" the voice asked.

"Yeah," she said. "Who's this?"

"Sasha, it's JC," JC said.

"Are you calling for Eryn? Because I am on the other line right now, and-" Sasha started.

"Sasha, I am calling for you," JC said.
