Kevin watched the girl run from one end of the stage to the other dragging her microphone stand with her. Her dark copper colored hair whipped around as she tossed her head back and fell down to her knees releasing one final strong note that sent the crowd into a roar of cheers.

"Here we go again!" she yelled. "1...2...3, go!" the beginning of her next song started and she unbuttoned her vest and threw it into the audience before starting to sing.

Kevin couldn't take his eyes off of her.

Was she beautiful?

Yes

Was she dangerous?

The answer to the question was an even bigger yes.

But who was she?

She was Riley Torma and at nineteen years of age she was one of the most successful solo rock artists of Kevin's time. Her songs had meaning and her voice had power. But with Riley came trouble and a lot of it. She was linked to drugs, sex and the trouble. Before going solo she was in a band but was kicked out because of her behavior. She had been in rehab twice, the first time for drug abuse and the second for attempt of suicide. The guys she hung around with had mile-high Mohawks and had done time. Her body was covered in tattoos. 'Cosa Nostra' ran across the back of her neck, a phrase meaning 'Our Thing' in Italian, down her chest was an inked rosary and in the inside of her lower left arm was the word 'Respect'. She was careless and tough. She got into fights and flicked off cameras. She destroyed hotel rooms and was rumored to have set a house on fire. She was one big bag of disaster yet pretty boy Kevin Jonas just couldn't get enough of her.

"Why are you looking at Riley's performance?" Nick asked Kevin.

They were waiting backstage for their turn up on the stage at the California 'Music Rocks' Festival where the best of the music industry were there to perform.

"She's catchy," Kevin said.

"More like a disaster," Nick said as Riley pulled her shirt off and rocked the stage in jeans and a sports bra.

"Whoo!" she yelled when the song ended. "I know you guys have enjoyed me but there's a lot more coming at you including one little gay band. Oops, did I just say that?"

"See what I mean?" Nick asked.

"So stay here and enjoy yourselves. Goodnight!"

She threw up a rock on and ran off the stage.

"Here she comes, run away!" Nick yelled.

"What? Why?"

"Doesn't she scare you?"

Kevin couldn't answer because Riley was already near.

"Hey it's the Jonas Sisters," she said.

"That's not funny at all," Nick said, not amused at all.

"Yeah well I didn't expect you to know good humor."

"Here you go Riley," a stagehand said as he gave her her shirt.

"Thanks. So listen after this festival shit is over I'm having a party at my house and since I'm nice..."

"Right," Nick scoffed.

"Like I was saying, since I'm nice I decided to invite you ladies."

"Why would you want us at your party?" Nick demanded to know.

"Because little Nicky," she put her arm around him. "I want to see if you guys can hang."

"What makes you think we want to go?" Nick asked, pushing her arm away.

Riley's eyes flicked to Kevin.

"You think I didn't notice your boy here staring at me during my whole performance?" Riley stepped closer to Kevin, pressing her lower half against his. "I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself Joe."

Kevin's heart started beating quickly and he drew short breaths.

"It's Kev..." he swallowed. "Kevin."

"Right," Riley said uninterested.

She backed up and nodded to one of her guys who came over.

"Slater give them my address," she ordered.

"You're kidding right?" Slater asked, laughing at Nick and Kevin.

"I'm not fuckhead, now give them my address." Riley turned her attention back to Kevin and Nick. "See you guys later."

She started walking away.

"We're not going!" Nick yelled after her.

Riley just gave him the middle finger and walked into her dressing room.

Slater wrote Riley's address down then ripped the piece of paper out of a notebook.

"Man this is fucked up," he said as he handed it to Kevin.

"I think you're the one that's fucked up," Nick said.

"You're right, I am," Slater happily agreed.

He slapped Nick's shoulder before walking away.

"Kevin we are not going to that party."

Joe showed up next to them.

"What party?" he asked.

"Riley Torma's party."

"She invited us to one of her parties? Was she high?"

"Probably," Nick answered. "Anyways mom and dad will never let us go."

"Correction mom and dad won't let you go. I'm twenty and Joe's nineteen, they can't say no to us."

"You're not going to tell them you're going to Riley Torma's house are you?"

"No I am not."

Kevin folded up the paper and stuck it in his back pocket before picking his guitar up and running onto the stage with his brothers.


"Riley Torma you fucking rock!" one guy yelled as Riley walked through her house.

"That I do," she said before picking up a shot and taking it down.

"Bump?" Slater asked with a table of cocaine bumps ready to be taken down.

"Wouldn't mind if I do."

She took two bumps and took a deep breath, letting the drug settle into her system.

"Thanks Slate."

She continued through the house and ended up in the foyer where two distraught and very out of place Jonas Brothers stood.

"Well well well. This is something I never thought I would see," Riley said as she walked in a circle around the brothers, arms crossed over her chest.

"You invited us so we came," Joe said.

"So you must be the real Joe."

"Definitely not the fake one."

She stopped in front of Kevin.

"Do your parents know you are here?" she asked.

"Yeah, course they do."

She chuckled.

"You're not a very good liar Kevin."

She took a step back to get a good look at both of them.

"Where's the little one? He's so feisty I just want to..."

"I'd prefer it if you didn't finish that sentence about my little brother," Joe said.

"Protective are we?"

"Yeah, that's just the way he is. Total loser," Kevin said, failing miserably at his attempt to sound cool.

"Uh huh. So what do you guys want to do first? There's Beer Pong in the game room, marijuana in the theater room where Halloween is playing for your viewing pleasure, cocaine in the living room and an orgy upstairs," she said with a sly smile.

Kevin and Joe's eyes almost popped out of their heads.

"Maybe I should get you started with something easy."

She grabbed their hands and pulled them into the large kitchen. She handed a cup to each of them then picked one up herself.

"What's this?" Joe asked.

"Don't ask questions, just drink it."

"But mom and dad..." Joe started.

"Dude you're nineteen. Mom and dad aren't going to be there forever, especially if you want to get laid. Drink it," she demanded before taking down her cup.

The two boys looked at each other before drinking the contents of the cup.

Both of them almost choked.

"That tasted like..."

"Straight vodka? Yeah it was," Riley said. "Tasty right?"

"I think I'm going to be sick," Joe said.

"Ok well you guys have fun; I'll catch up with you later. Try not to get too loose," she said with a laugh.

She winked at Kevin and walked out of the kitchen.

"Kevin let's get out of here," Joe said.

"No way man. We are staying."

"Why do you want to stay here? These people are going to eat us alive."

Kevin grabbed two more cups, just drink a few more of these and you'll be ok."

Kevin drank another one then tossed his cup into the garbage.

"See you later little brother."

Kevin walked out of the kitchen leaving Joe alone in the kitchen with two very pretty girls. Joe, being the ladies man that he was, couldn't resist himself.

"Well hello ladies," he said.

The girls giggled and walked over to him.


Riley laughed as she walked out of the kitchen.

Who knew she would one day see Kevin and Joe Jonas in her house? Those two were like the saints of the music world. They never drank, were Christians, lived and listen to their parents and were still virgins.

"How do they survive?" she asked herself.

She walked by a three-way kiss between three girls and a couple about to have sex on the couch.

"These parties get better and better every week," she said as she walked outside where the scene was epic. People were dancing around the pool and lighting paper on fire for fun.

"Hey keep that away from the terrace furniture, they're new," she warned.

"Ok princess," one guy yelled.

Riley ripped a cigarette out of a girls' mouth, the girl whining, and dug into that guys' skin.

"Ow! Holy shit I can't believe you just did that!" the guys yelled before running inside.

"Shut up."

She pulled her shirt over her head and took her jeans off staying in her matching black bra and underwear set.

She dove into the pool and people soon followed.


Kevin walked outside just in time to see Riley burn a guy with a cigarette then take her shirt and pants off and jump into the pool.

His eyes widened as everyone else jumped in after her.

"Hey Jonas!" she yelled, swimming over to the edge.

Kevin walked over to the pool and crouched down so he could hear Riley.

"Are you getting in?"

"I don't think I..." before he could get another word out Riley pulled him in.

Kevin came up coughing like a little girl which sent Riley into a fit of laughter.

"You and your brothers really need to get out more. How old are you?"

"Twenty."

"And you've never been to a party like this?"

He shook his head.

"Wow."

"But we can start going to them."

"I'm sure mommy and daddy or 'God' wouldn't approve."

"Why do you use quotations when you say God?"

"I'm Agnostic which means I know there is a greater power out there but I don't think it's 'God'."

"But..."

"Don't even think about preaching to me. You can get out of the pool if you want but if you want to have fun I suggest you stay."

"Well, what kind of fun are you talking about?"

She looked at him and smiled, running her hand down his chest.

"The fun you have never had."

"You mean sex?"

She couldn't hold back the laughter.

"You say it like it's some sort of taboo."

"Sorry I'm just..."

"A loser? Don't worry I already knew that."

"Why do you do that?"

"What?"

"Insult everyone like its ok. You don't care about anything do you?"

"I have never had a reason to care, it's not like anyone cares about me."

"Well I do. Actually I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you."

"Shut up, you don't love me," she said with a nervous laugh.

"Yeah I do. You do drugs, curse out in public, don't believe in God and destroy things. My parents hate you and my brothers are scared of you but somehow you still have me under a spell. I know there is something behind that tough image and if you could just stop for one minute and think about what you're doing maybe you'd wake up and start living a normal life. I like you Riley, a lot, but I also feel sorry for you. I feel sorry because you feel like you have to do all these stupid things so people notice you. You have talent and you're beautiful. If you'd just realize that all of this," he paused and looked around at the people making out in the pool and smoking on the terrace. "Isn't necessary then maybe I would have a chance with you. As long as all of this is going on though I can't do anything. You're probably laughing in your head right now, saying you'd never like me but if you gave me a chance I know you would." He put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. "I'm out there Riley and I'm ready to help. I know you need it but it's up to you to decide whether or not you want it."

He pushed himself out of the pool, his clothes so wet that they clung on to his body.

"Enjoy the rest of your party."

He turned and walked inside leaving Riley shocked and most importantly, ready to change.
