Ok, another JoeStella, especially after watching the latest episode. Because, come on, you know Joe should have told everyone the truth that he was so jealous! So this takes directly after the episode ends, but this will be in Joe's POV, well, sort of.
I was listening to He Could Be The One by Hannah Montana and me and Fabled Diamond both thought it could fit their relationship well. We all know they're meant to be anyways. Just get them together writers, and before season 2 starts please! And maybe get KevinMacy together as well!
Ok, this paragraph note is after I written this. Apparently, it didn't turn out the way I had hoped. But I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
Joe wanted to know why he felt the way he did around Stella lately. It was weird. It was making him feel all crazy around her. When did it start? Stella and Joe had always been close friends, closer than Nick and Kevin were to Stella anyways. He started noticing his feelings for her probably around when Carl came over to visit a few weeks ago. Stella had asked if he had a crush on her, since he dumped that stuff in Stella's purse all those years ago. He didn't answer, since he had to go perform, but could it be? Did he have a crush on her? Had he always liked her?
He didn't know. But what set everything off was him. Van Dyke. What kind of name was Van Dyke anyways? He was a loser anyways. Who wears day of the week underwear on the wrong days? Losers, that's who, AND he totally wore that outfit that Joe wore for the Queen because Stella was getting her revenge. It was not even a good outfit, and Joe deserved what came to him.
But Joe just wanted to know why he was getting all nervous around Stella lately. Joe wanted to know why he was all jealous of Van Dyke dating Stella; why he wanted her to help him study for math instead of going out with Van Dyke; why he wanted to ruin the shirts.
That song he thought he was singing after Stella ditched him for that other guy pretty much described how he felt. 'Tell me why does it hurt so bad' one of the lines popped into his mind.
Currently, Joe was sitting at lunch at the table with Nick, waiting for everyone to arrive. He picked at his food. He just wanted someone to tell him why he was jealous of Van Dyke and Stella. Nick would probably tell him something like 'you like Stella'. Psst, like that could happen. They had been friends for eleven years.
Joe, without quite realizing it, started singing the song he daydreamt about softly. Nick looked over at Joe.
"What are you humming?" Nick asked, breaking Joe out of his thoughts. He looked at Nick.
"Um, oh nothing. Just a new song, maybe," Joe said. Nick nodded.
"Oh that's cool. What are the lyrics so far?" Nick asked. Joe didn't want to answer. The song was personal, and for once, he wanted it to remain just his song. Luckily, before he could answer, Kevin sidled into a chair beside Joe.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" he asked.
"Oh, just eating lunch and Joe thought of a new song," Nick answered. Joe mentally groaned as he took a bite of his lunch, even if he wasn't hungry.
"Oh cool. Sing it for us," Kevin said. Joe shook his head, managing a grin.
"Oh you don't want to hear it yet. It's not done," Joe started as he spotted Stella walking over. His voice almost caught. Luckily, Nick and Kevin didn't catch the change in Joe.
"Oh come on Joe; just sing what you have. I'm sure it's good. It could be our next hit," Nick pointed out.
"Oh, I couldn't. I mean, I'm not prepared," Joe said as Stella sat beside Joe.
"You couldn't what?" Stella asked.
"Oh, Joe has a new song that he's written and he won't sing it for us. Come on, you're usually not prepared. Just sing it for us," Nick said. Kevin nodded.
"Yeah, I could get my guitarist to come bring my guitar for you," Kevin said. He gestured and the lights dimmed and a guy carrying Kevin's guitar showed up, handing the guitar to him. Joe shook his head.
"Turn on the lights and take the guitar away. I just don't want to sing it right now," Joe said stubbornly. The lights turned on and the guitarist walked away with the guitar sadly.
"Oh come on! You always sing for us! What's the big deal?" Kevin asked. Joe shrugged.
"I'll sing it later. Now, Stella, where's Van Dyke?" Joe asked, trying to keep the venom from dripping out of his voice.
"Oh, I dumped him. Whoever wears that outfit in public does not deserve me at all," Stella said. Joe tried to keep a grin off his face, but he couldn't help it.
"Oh, that's cool," Joe said as casually as he could as Macy bounded up.
"Stella, oh my god, I have news for you- HI GUYS!" Macy said excitedly. Kevin offered a wave at his new friend as Nick and Joe gave feeble smiles.
"Hey Macy. What's up?" Stella asked. Macy gestured down the hall.
"Ok, you know the guy on my swim team, Quincy?" Macy asked. Stella nodded as Joe gave a look at Kevin as if to ask 'Quincy? What kind of name is that?'
"Yeah, that really cute guy. What about him?" Stella asked. Macy grinned.
"He thinks you're hot and wants to ask you out!" Macy shrieked. Joe's eyes widened as Kevin and Nick glanced at Stella, who got up and jumped with excitement along with Macy. Joe gripped his milk carton so tightly, milk started spurting everywhere, especially onto the person beside him; Kevin. Everyone looked at the mess as Kevin jolted up.
"Oh come on Joe! Stella made these pants two days ago!" Kevin complained, trying to wipe off the milk with a napkin.
"Oh no, a napkin won't do. Come on; Macy can help you out; she knows what to do," Stella said, pushing the two away. Macy grinned as she linked arms with Kevin and led him down the hall. Stella and Nick, meanwhile, looked at Joe, who smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry; I have a tight grip," Joe told the two. Stella rolled her eyes but grinned when she saw Quincy walk down the hall.
"Oh my god, there's Quincy. Do I look good?" Stella asked frantically as she whipped out a mirror and checked herself.
"You look fine Stella," Nick said. Stella and Nick both looked toward Joe, who was trying to find the words to say. He could compliment her, or he could lie and say she looked awful so she wouldn't go speak to Quincy. Unfortunately, his mouth chose the former.
"You look great Stells. Now, go get him," Joe said, wincing at the words he just said. He promised he'd stay out of her personal life, even if that wasn't what he wanted. Stella smiled sweetly.
"Thanks Joe," she said gratefully before walking over to Quincy. Nick eyed Joe carefully. Joe caught Nick's gaze and offered a feeble smile.
"What?" Joe asked. Nick shrugged.
"Nothing, I just didn't think you'd actually say that. I mean, you're totally jealous right now and I thought you'd try to ruin her relationship again," Nick answered. Joe shook his head.
"First of all, I am not jealous, alright? I'm just protective of the guys Stella chooses, because she chooses really bad guys. And secondly, I wouldn't ruin her relationship with a guy on purpose. Besides, we both promised to stay out of each other's personal lives, especially with dating, so I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to, which I don't," Joe answered. Nick just smiled, shaking his head.
"Ok, whatever you say Jealous McJealouston," Nick sing songed. Joe glared.
"I am NOT jealous!" Joe said to Nick, who just chuckled. Joe got up, grabbing his practically untouched food.
"Where are you going Jealous?" Nick asked.
"I'm not very hungry right now. I'll see you later," Joe answered before slipping away from Nick, who only just realized he didn't get a chance to ask Joe about his new song.
Ok, I'm going to add more to this. At first, it was just supposed to be a oneshot about Joe realizing his feelings, but then, somehow, it turned out to Stella falling in love with another guy and Joe getting jealous again. But he's going to act completely different this time. I don't know how many chapters this will be, but I hope you enjoyed this. Now, if you have any ideas of how this can turn out, tell me.
