Hey everyone, I know I know no more stories but I had to do this.
Sort of a JONAS, JB story. I mixed it up. They are the Lucas brothers but they started out like JB. Nick is twelve, Joe is fifteen and Kevin is seventeen.
They don't know Nick is a diabetic yet either.
Anyway the story is the boys make a cd and three months later Kevin 'disappears.' Rather I guess he ran away. No one knows why.
It's now been half a year. If they do find him, will he come back? Will he even be welcomed back?
Nick Lucas knew he was out there still. He scanned every face on the train but none were his brother.
He looked at Joe still reading his comic book. 'How can he not search with me, doesn't he care' he thought.
Joe did care though, he just didn't want to keep getting his hopes up. The first couple months he searched but as time went on it became too painful.
Nick wouldn't give up though. He kept a lookout everywhere.
"Joe…think he's alive?" Nick asked and Joe nodded.
"Yeah but come on man forget it for now…we're almost to Madison Square Garden…we're going to have fun" he answered avoiding the subject as usual.
Nick nodded reluctantly. Every time he asked Joe would change the subject.
He had to ask though. He just wanted Kevin back.
"Joe…"
Joe sighed. "What do you want me to say Nicky? He's not a baby, he's eighteen now…he's fine I bet" he said.
Nick nodded. "Yeah but…don't you think he'd call us by now…I mean if he did run away" Nick asked.
Joe closed his book and looked at him. "Nick…you're not a baby too…face it bro Kevin ditched us" he said.
Nick shook his head. "No…Kevin's gotten angry but he'd have returned by now" he argued.
Joe shrugged. "I don't know Nicholas I'm not a mind reader okay I'm just telling you my opinion" he said testily. He turned back away and into his book.
It had now been six months since Kevin 'disappeared.' Nick sighed.
'Maybe Joe is right…but I know Kevin…maybe he's just scared to come home' he thought.
He took a breath, closed his eyes and listened to the hum of the train.
The two were going to meet their parents at the garden. The Lucas family was spending a week in New York trying to promote the boys.
They were lucky enough to get a small stage. "Think we'll get a thousand people?" Nick asked suddenly to hopefully lighten Joe's mood.
It must have because Joe laughed.
"Dude we'll be lucky if we get one hundred" he answered. It wasn't easy getting gigs for a two person band even if they were adorable and talented.
Nick nodded. "We need Kevin back" he said and Joe stopped laughing and gave him a look.
"Forget him…he obviously didn't want to be with us" he said harshly.
Nick dropped his gaze. "But…" Joe sighs. "Lets just worry about finding mom and dad…I told you we shouldn't have wandered from them" he says.
Nick scoffed. "Yeah cause it was me who wanted to follow that girl" he said and Joe blushed.
"She was cute and I did score her number" he defended himself.
"Now you're going to score a punishment" Nick said and Joe had to admit maybe it wasn't his smartest family of four had been wandering around when Joe lagged behind. He grabbed Nick and made him help him find the girl.
Their parents didn't notice them leave. Tom was holding four year old Frankie and he and Sandy were showing him stuff.
They were touring the city. Mostly to kill time and mostly to not think about Kevin.
For the past six months they had been doing a lot more than usual. Joe and Nick never complained. Nick and Joe used the time at first to search.
Now only Nick looked while Joe sulked. He hated Kevin now it seemed.
The train stopped and the two got off. Nick looked around and his eyes widened at a curly haired teenager in a leather jacket.
"K…Ke…Kevin?" he stuttered the name. Joe saw his gaze and shook his head. 'Not again' he thought.
Joe Lucas grabbed his little brother's mouth as the curly haired teenager turned.
"Sorry sir…he thought you were someone else" he explained as Nick tried to get his hand away.
"Ew! Nicholas!" Joe sputtered as Nick finally just licked the hand. He shrugged.
The curly haired kid rolled his eyes at their juvenile behavior. He tugged his leather jacket tighter and began to walk away from them.
"Wait! I know it's you, you're our big brother" Nick called as Joe was still wiping his palm on his pants.
The twelve year old ran past him and stopped blocking his path.
He turned and looked at Kevin and felt hope seep in. "Get out of the way kid" he sneered.
He tried to cover his voice but Nick recognized it. He didn't back down.
"No!" He said and folded his arms.
Joe quickly grabbed Nick and pulled him back a few steps as he eyed the teen warily.
He had that thug look on him. So opposite Kevin, yet….
"I don't think that's Kev bro…come on you have to give it up…you've been doing this to every curly haired kid that could be seventeen" Joe whispered.
He said it to cover his own pain too. He never admitted it but it hurt Joe too.
Nick furiously shook his head. "I know my brother bro I just made a few mistakes but this time its real" Nick pleaded.
"You said that every time too" Joe argued.
"Come on we're leaving…we're already in enough trouble" he added and walked off pulling Nick's arm.
"No! Let me go" Nick whined. Nick kicked back and hit Joe hard. He hissed and let Nick go.
Nick ran back to the teen. "Please Kevin…I'm still your brother so whatever I did or Joe did we're sorry" he said.
Joe stormed back and angrily grabbed Nick again.
"I'm telling you kicked me now and that it was all your idea we got lost" he said.
The teen laughed.
"Like they'd believe you Joseph" he said and then cursed.
"For…forget I said that…I have to go" he said. He started to run off.
Nick and Joe glanced at each other and ran after him.
