Hey guys,
It�s me. I�m doing this and talking to you-know-who at the same time. You know, that guy I�ve been talking to on the Internet for about three years.
I just finished moving to my mom�s for the summer. Moving to my mom�s�I�m eighteen and I�m visiting my mom for the summer. At least my sisters are here with me: my twin sister Kayla and my younger sisters Jamie and Jessica (they�re twins too).
What�s with my family and twins?
Kayla is blaring the Backstreet Boys in one room while I�m in here listening to Saliva.
The similarity stops at the looks. We don�t agree on really anything. I don�t mean we fight or anything we just like totally different things. Music for one, guys are a totally different subject. She likes the pretty boys, her favorite: Nick Carter. I, on the other hand, totally dig guys like Josey Scott. Now he�s a hottie. Our younger sisters are like that, too. Jessica is just like Kayla. Only Jessica has a thang for Nick Carter�s mini me: Aaron Carter. Now I�ll admit the kid is adorable and his brother is kinda cute�but they�re just to clean cut for Jamie and I. We like the boys your mom warns you to stay away from. Tattoos, piercings we totally dig guys with them. And that�s exactly the way my �Internet Boyfriend� (that�s what Jamie calls him) sounds, yes it�s a wonderful thang. That�s if we ever talk with out the computer under our fingertips.
I�ll have more for you later. That�s all for now, y�all.
LUV YA
Kaylee

We could wait
Look boy I have been talking to you for what THREE YEARS now

PLEEEASE?
Fine I�m on my way
Kaylee smiled happily. They�d been talking on the Internet for three years now and had never met. She didn�t even know his real name�to think of it he really didn�t know hers either, just her screen name. Kaylee couldn�t care less. She had a crush on him since they�d �met� and she was finally going to meet him.
Kaylee squealed happily. �Jamie! Come here!�
Jamie jogged in the room lazily. �Yes?�
�He�s coming! You know the guy I�ve been talking to on the computer? He�s coming he�ll be here any minute!� The two sisters jumped up and down happily.
�What are you gonna wear?� Jamie asked once they had stopped screaming.
�This. Why does it matter? He already knows what I look like from the pictures on the site. Although I still don�t know what he looks like.� Kaylee said wrinkling her brow with thought. �What if he�s totally ugly? Oh my god you have to answer the door when he gets here and if he�s cute let him in�no that�s wrong just tell me if he�s cute or not when you come find me. I want you to leave him in the living room then I�ll be in my room waiting.� The two jumped as the doorbell rang. �Okay go now.�
Kaylee could hear Jamie talking to someone downstairs but she couldn�t see him from her place at the top of the stairs. A few minutes later Jamie made her way up the steps almost running over Kaylee. �You could have waited in your room I know where it is.� Jamie laughed sitting next to her on the step.
�If you�d been talking to a guy for three years but have never met him wouldn�t you be a little anxious?� Kaylee said rolling her eyes. �I�m going now. Is he cute?�
�Uh huh. He�s all tattooed and pierced and everything. He kinda looks like one of the guys Kayla has all over her walls. You know one of those band she only listens to because she thinks the lead singer�s cute.�
�Okay. Here I go.� Kaylee slowly made her way down the stairs pausing at the bottom to look at him. She had to admit he was cute, and he did looked a lot like Benji Madden. If she hadn�t known better she probably would have of thought he was, but he would have told her. She�d met Benji Madden before�let�s just say it wasn�t an experience she loved to remember. �Hey,� Kaylee smiled once he could see her.
�Hey. It�s good to finally see you. That sounded really lame.� He stood and slowly walked over to her. He hugged her briefly before he took her hand and led her to the couch.
�This is really gonna sound wrong, but you look a LOT like Benji Madden.�
He pulled up one of the sleeves to show her his tattoos. �I am. I would have told you earlier but-�
Kaylee cut him off and stood. �You�re a real jack ass.� She turned and walked up the stairs almost knocking over a confused Jamie.
�Hey sis? What�s wrong?� Jamie called after her.
�I�ve met Benji Madden. I really couldn�t stand him. I liked it better when he was just the guy on the internet,� Kaylee said from her room.
�Lee, go talk to him. He looks like a confused little boy.�
�FINE!� Kaylee said angrily. She stormed out of her room and down the stairs. She sat on the couch across from Benji and if looks could kill�let�s just say Good Charlotte would be one more member short.
�Are you okay?� Benji asked after a moment�s silence.
�You�re a real ass, Madden. We�ve met before. Do you remember when?� Kaylee said with disdain in her voice.
�No. If I had I�d remember.�
�You have and you don�t remember. I work for an online magazine��
�Yes I know that.�
�And when I first started working there I did interviews with the up and coming bands. When I had to interview your band the, at that time, other four members gave me their full and undivided attention. You on the other hand paid NO attention to me. You just typed away on your damn lap top and ignored me when I asked you a direct question.�
�I was sending you an e-mail.� Benji said timidly.
�Yes I got it, and when I read it all I could think about if I hadn�t been in that damn interview with a band I don�t even listen to�I could have been talking to you. BUT now that I think about it�I�m happy I didn�t know it was you then. I went on thinking you were nice and sweet and all the things my ex-boyfriends weren�t. Now that I know who you are, those ex-boyfriends are looking pretty good. You know where the door is. Use it before I go find the gun that�s in my room and shoot yo ass.�
�I�m not leaving. I came here to meet a girl I had fallen in love with�I�m not leaving until I meet that girl,� Benji said staring her in the eyes.
�Well babe you met her�oh yeah.� Kaylee stood and walked towards Benji. She bent and kissed him passionately. �That�s what you�ll be missin� for the rest of your fucking life. Goodbye Mr. Madden.�
�At least let me get a drink of water before I leave.�
Without speaking Kaylee walked into the kitchen. She pulled a glass from the cupboard and placed in on the counter next to the sink. She leaned against the counter and waited until he was done.
Benji filled the glass with water and took a sip, never taking his eyes off of Kaylee. He set the glass on the counter. The next thing Kaylee knew Benji�s lips were covering her own. After a moment Kaylee gave into the kiss, sliding her hands up Benji�s chest, over his shoulders and around his neck.
Kaylee pulled back out of breath and grabbed the glass of water. She drank half of it before she handed it to Benji who in turn drank the last of it.
�Damn you Benjamin Madden.� Kaylee mumbled concentrating on the design on the counter. �I still hate you.�
�That�s okay.� Benji said, kissing her again.
Kaylee pushed him away. �Get out.�
�What?� Benji asked confused.
�I said get out. As in leave.�
�Kaylee I ��
�Get out!� Kaylee almost screamed. She marched over to the front door and held it open. �OUT.�
Looking down Benji slid past her and out the door.
�Why�d you make him leave?� Jamie asked from the couch.
�Because he�s an ass.� Kaylee turned and started heading upstairs. �I�m going to bed.�
Kaylee held out her hand timidly. �Hi I�m Kaylee Russell. I�m going to be interviewing you guys.�
The members of Good Charlotte shook her hand before sitting down.
�You�ll have to forgive me. This is my first interview,� Kaylee smiled. �I just started working here a few weeks ago.�
�So far you�re doing great,� Joel Madden smiled back at her.
�You haven�t given me enough time to fuck it up.�
Four out of the five members of GC laughed. Benji sat quietly, typing into his laptop.
�How old are you, Kaylee?� Joel asked.
Kaylee raised an eyebrow. �I�m sixteen,� she said slowly. �Why?�
�Damn I was hoping you�d be older.�
She smiled and shook her head. �You only have to be sixteen to give consent,� Kaylee offered.
Kaylee rolled her eyes at the memory and sat down at her computer. She quickly logged onto the internet. Kaylee pulled up the text box for the journal she used on the online-magazine�s site.
May 31, 9:03 pm
Hey it�s me�again. Well most of you should know, but if you don�t I�ll tell you, disappointment sucks balls. As much as I wish it didn�t, it does. Anyone who tells you other wise is a fucking liar�I hope I�m allowed to curse on here�hell I do it all the time.
Maybe later I�ll tell you what my great disappointment was, but for now, let�s just leave it as mass guy drama.
Some times I really think the fates hate me. Of all the people to let him be�why�d it have to be him?
I know you guys are lost but�I don�t know. Maybe I�ll explain later.
Kaylee
Kaylee hit �send.�
She stared down at her fingers, resting on the keyboard. �I need to re-do my nails,� Kaylee smirked after inspecting the many chips in her red-glitter nail polish.
TattooedFreak: what did I do?
Kaylee ignored Benji�s IM and checked the replies to her journal.
TattooedFreak: come on Kaylee
TattooedFreak: please talk to me
TattooedFreak: please
Kaylee logged off the internet.
�Would it kill you to talk to him?� Jamie asked from the door way.
�Yes,� Kaylee answered.
