Chapter One

Lucy Tate had been staring at the ceiling for the past five minutes. Her latest Jonas James fanfiction just wasn’t strong enough, she felt. She couldn’t seem to get the ideas for it.

Lucy had been obsessed with Jonas since she was ten years old. And now she was sixteen, and having discovered her writing talent a few years ago, she was putting her talents to good use and posting her creations online.

Ping!

A notification from Twitter broke Lucy’s train of thought. She pickled up her phone to see that Jonas had Tweeted.

Hi guys, Jonas here. Just letting you guys know that I’m doing a LIVE tour soon! More info very soon!

Lucy squealed with excitement. A live tour! There was no doubt that she would be purchasing tickets. And who knows, maybe she could meet Jonas there!

Lucy snapped herself out of her daydream and concentrated on the task at hand. She had to get this Jonas fanfiction just right. And she had to post soon; her ‘fans’ had been pestering her for the past week about posting a new update. Lucy laughed at the idea of her having fans. Jonas was supposed to be the one with the fans, not her!

*Knock-knock-knock*

You OK, Luce? Lucy’s dad asked, poking his head round the door.

Lucy nodded. Just writing.

Well, dinner’s nearly ready, when you are. He closed the door behind him.

Lucy shook her head, and returned to her laptop screen. She took a few minutes, just staring at her laptop screen, wondering what to type next. But then she had a thought. Maybe somehow, if she could get Jonas to notice her fanfictions, he’d notice her and agree to meet her!

It was a long shot, that’s for sure, but it was a chance she had to take.

***

Amber Williams was immensely excited at the prospect of Jonas doing a live tour. She called Jonas as soon as she heard the news.

I just saw your Tweet, gushed Amber. Where are you going on your tour?

All over, said Jonas. I haven’t got the dates yet but as soon as I know, you’ll know.

Amber was silent for a few moments. She knew she wanted Jonas to ask her to tag along, but she didn’t want to seem like she was imposing.

But then, after a few moments of silence, Jonas said, Would you like to come along for the ride?

Amber squealed silently - if that was even possible. There’s nothing I would want more, she gushed down the phone to Jonas.

I’ll ask Daisy if she wants to come too.

Amber was super excited at the prospect of seeing Daisy again.

So, um, how’s Rachel?

Jonas sighed. A year after their wedding, he and Rachel hadn’t been getting along the best lately. She’s OK, I think.

What’s wrong, Jonas?

Jonas shook his head. Nothing, nothing. It’s just that I’m so excited for this tour.

Not as excited as I am. Listen, I have to leave for a babysitting job. I’ll call you later on.

OK. See you soon, Amber.

Bye! She hung up.

Chapter Two

Lucy had sent links to her fanfictions to Jonas, but to no avail. He was clearly too busy planning for his tour, she told herself. She tried to forget about it as she walked to school, but she couldn’t.

All throughout the school day Lucy was dreaming up new concepts for Jonas stories. She tried to concentrate on the lessons in front of her, but her thoughts were elsewhere. It was dangerous territory; she was studying for her exams and really wanted to get good grades. But her obsession with Jonas clouded her judgement and invaded her every thought.

Lucy was relieved by the time the final bell rang. She told herself she would send another Tweet to Jonas, just to see if he would answer her.

When Lucy got home she thought carefully about what kind of Tweet she would send Jonas. She carefully penned it out:

Hi, Jonas. I’m Lucy and I’m a huge fan. Please could you take a look at my fanfictions I’ve written about you?

There, she thought, that should do it. Obviously Jonas had a choice whether to reply to her or not, but Lucy was sure that if he didn’t she’d have to resort to Plan B.

Whatever that was.

***

Jonas was indeed planning and getting ready for his tour. He hardly had a chance to check his socials, but somehow, he found the time.

He saw that a girl named Lucy had Tweeted him, asking him to read some of her fanfictions. Now, Jonas was a very busy man and didn’t normally have time to read fanfictions. And even if he did, he would feel extremely weird about having stories written about him.

Jonas mentally discarded the Tweet and didn’t think any more about it. Besides, he had bigger things to worry about, like announcing his tour dates.

Once the tour dates had been announced on Twitter, Jonas called Amber to give her the good news.

Good news, we’re coming to Braun! Jonas exclaimed down the phone.

Yay!! squealed Amber.

But it doesn’t matter anyways because you’re coming along throughout the whole tour.

I know, but I’m so excited to see you in my hometown, said Amber.

I’m looking forward to coming there, said Jonas.

What are you going to be doing on this tour?

A bit of comedy, a bit of singing, a bit of everything!

I love it when you sing, Amber gushed, and then she blushed, thinking she’d embarrassed Jonas.

Jonas blushed too. That’s good because I’m writing a few new songs for this tour.

Amber silently and excitedly jumped up and down.

Amber?

I’m here, Jonas. I’m so excited!

So am I. Well, I’ve got to go and continue my organising for the tour. See you later, Amber.

Bye! Amber hung up.

As Amber put her phone down, she couldn’t help but feel how lucky she was. The only thing missing in her life, she told herself, was a love of her own.

Maybe it would come, one day...

Chapter Three

Jonas was chilling at home, with Rachel by his side.

I don’t understand why you have to do this tour, said Rachel.

Rach, it’s for my fans, and my fans mean a lot to me.

More than me?

Of course not, said Jonas, snaking his arms around Rachel’s waist and kissing her softly.

Rachel backed away. Jonas, don’t you think we need some time to ourselves? Just you and me?

Jonas didn’t say anything.

It’s just that, since we got married, it’s almost like I haven’t seen you. Rachel folded her arms.

I’m sorry, Rach, it’s just that I’m very busy. My fans need me.

"I need you," said Rachel.

I know, and you know you’ll be there on the tour every step of the way.

"But I want us to settle down in one place. I want to have
