Chapter 3
Late That Night
Danielle's View
"Hi Mrs. McNeal, is Jason there?" I whispered into the phone. Everyone was asleep in the hotel room and I was calling Jason back in Colorado and I didn't want to wake anybody up. Since there's a 2 hour difference I knew Jason would still be up.
"He sure is Danielle, hold on let me get him for you," she said politely and then set the phone down. I heard her tell Jason that I was on the phone for him and then I heard him come banging down the stairs. That made me smile.
"Baby? Is that you?" he asked excited.
"Yeah it's me," I giggled.
"Oh sweetie I miss you so much!" he said. I smiled and said, "I've only been gone for a day."
"So? I still miss you! One day is too much! I can't wait until you come back so I can kiss and hold you in my arms where your supposed to be."
"Aww...you are too sweet. I miss you too and I'll be home as soon as everything is done over here."
"Thank goodness!"
I giggled and then said, "I have something to tell you."
"Okie dokie what is it?" he asked curious.
"You know the contest?"
"Yeah, ah man, you didn't win huh?" he asked sadly but I knew he was happy.
"Um well no," I said.
"What? You won?" he asked in shock.
"Yeah I won," I smiled into the phone. Jason just sat there not saying anything. He was probably in total shock.
"Baby are you there?" I asked.
"Oh...yeah I'm here," he said quietly.
"Are you mad?" I asked.
"No why would I be?"
"I don't know but...what's wrong?"
"Danielle, to tell you the truth I didn't want you going to New York or entering that contest. I knew deep down that you would probably win and I didn't want you to."
"But why? This is a dream come true for me."
He sighed and then said, "I know but this is a world tour we're talking about here. You'll be gone for months Danielle. I can't be away from you that long."
"Then maybe you could come with me."
"My Mom would never allow that and plus I have football and school. I can't miss those things and it would be too weird for me to be on tour with a pop group. That's just not me. Are you sure you're gonna go?"
"Yes, I'm positive that I'm gonna go."
"Baby I'm gonna miss you so much," he said softly.
"I'm going to miss you too," I said gently.
"I want to stay and talk some more sweetie but I gotta go. My Mom needs the phone. Try not to fall in love with Brian while you're up there," he slightly laughed.
"I'll try not to," I giggled.
"Good...I'll talk to you really soon my sweet rose," he said.
"OK my big teddy bear...I love you."
"I love you too baby...talk to you later, Bye," he said. I said bye and then slowly hung up the phone. I don't want him to be sad that I'm gonna be away from him for a while. I didn't know he didn't want me coming up here. He could have told me but I guess that wouldn't have helped at all. I still would have came up here. The tour is only a few months and then after that we can be together always. I mean I don't think anything would change my life on this tour...right?
