Sorry it took so long, i've been sick
i wanna thank you guys for getting over 90 subscribers, but what's going on with the comments?
the longest i've gone without sleep would probably be about 28 hours or so, i had to get up in the morning to go to acupuncture then we drove to Camden for a JB concert and stopped at burger king on the way back which took literally 45 minutes, so we didn't get home till like 2AM (not the latest we got home that'd be 4AM from Bethel) and two of my friends were sleeping over and we stayed up all night watching videos from the summer and camp rock extras.

A minute or so later, Joe came back down the stairs and Kevin got up. "I'm gonna go find Blake, I gotta talk to him," he said.
"He's in his room, I just saw him," Joe said.
"Great, thanks." With that Kevin was gone.
Joe dropped the backpack on the ground as he sat down next to me. He handed me my old stuffed tiger.
"Don't make fun of me," I said. "She comforts me."
"I wasn't planning on it. Besides, I've missed old Tammy here," he said, patting the top of the tiger's head. It was really cute that he remembered her name.
I hugged Tammy close to me and rested back on Joe. He put his arm around me and rubbed my arm slowly. "So where'd the parents go?" he asked after a short silence.
"They're in the kitchen arguing. My dad wants me to come home. Your dad's standing up for me though."
"Don't worry, my dad'll convince him. And if he doesn't, I will."
"I don't wanna leave you Joe."
"And you won't have to."
"Thanks... for everything. You're taking such good care of me. I don't deserve you."
"Hey, I wouldn't have it any other way. And sometimes, I feel like I'm the one that doesn't deserve you."
"So you don't think of me as a burden now?"
"Of course not, where would you get a crazy idea like that?"
"My dad said..."
"I love and respect your father and all, but I think he has a bit of a bias towards our relationship."
"Yeah."
"Don't worry, you're as far from a burden as could be."
I snuggled up closer to him and he put his other arm around me so he could hug me as close to him as possible.
Our parents walked back in, and Joe instinctively pulled back. Then he realized what he had done, and he hugged me again, just not quite as close."
"Joseph, your father should have been a lawyer," Dad sighed.
"Does that mean...?"
"Riley, you can stay on the tour."
I still didn't feel like talking too much to other people. So I quietly said, "Thanks, Dad."
"Okay," Dad sighed.
"Riley, why are you wearing Joe's ring?" Mom asked. Uh oh.
"Last night," Joe said slowly, "I asked Riley to marry me. But don't worry, not now. Sometime in the future, when we're older and all. I would have asked you first, but I had to do it last night, and I hadn't exactly planned it. But I promise when I decide to propose officially, I'll do it right and come ask you first."
"Oh I don't know about this," Dad snapped, his face red with anger. I pulled Joe closer. Dad would be less likely to attack him if I was right there.
"And we're going back to the kitchen," Denise said, grabbing Dad's arm and leading him and everyone else back into the other room.
"I can't believe you had the guts to tell my dad all that," I said.
"Well, he needed to know."
"Thanks Joe."
"And hopefully he won't kill me, you know, since I'm his godson and all."
"I won't let anything happen to you." It was what he had been saying to me, so it was kind of weird hearing me say it once.
He smiled and then kissed my lips softly. "I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too."
{Kevin's P.O.V.}
I talked it over with Blake, and he had told me the only way to figure this out was to talk to her. So instead of having lunch with everyone else, I politely excused myself and took the time to go the Lauren's. I could always eat on the bus later.
When I got there, she looked surprised but excited. "Kevin! What are you doing here?" she asked, hugging me.
"We were bringing Riley to see her parents before we got back on the road, so I thought I'd come see you."
"Okay, well, come in. How is Riley?"
"She's still pretty shaken up, but Joe's taking good care of her, so she's slowly getting better," I said as I walked into the house and stood kind of awkwardly in the middle of the living room.
"That's good. It was just awful what happened last night."
"Yeah."
"Here, sit down," she said, grabbing my hand and leading me to the couch. "I'm so glad you came by."
"Yeah, well, I actually have something I need to talk to you about."
"Okay, what's up?"
"See, this morning, Justin came to see me."
"Oh no, what'd he do now?"
"Well, he came to apologize..."
"bout time."
"Yeah, well, he also had something to show me." I slowly pulled out the pictures from my pocket.
