After writing that song, Joe went for a walk. He needed space, some time without his brothers. He loved them, and they were good friends too, but living with them and being in a band sometimes became a bit...stressing. Sometimes he needed a time on his own, just to think.
Stella. That girl. His best friend. His old friend. His stylist. His counselor. His sister. Yeah, Stella was so many things to him. But specially his friend and sister. She was part of the family, and almost part of the band. They've known each other for ages and they had a special relationship. So many people thought that they loved each other. Of course they did. But not in that way. They were special. They didn't want to go out because of their friendship. It was too important to them for destroy it.
But Stella had never gone out with anyone. She never had dates or a boyfriend. But of course that couldn't last forever. She was 16, pretty, smart, sweet, caring... Of course so many guys would notice that. It was just that Joe wasn't ready for it. He wasn't ready for let her go. And then Van Dyke appeared and...Everything went so fast.
Joe knew he was feeling something. Jealousy? Maybe. But not how everybody thought. He was jealous that some random guy appeared and stole Stella from him. She was his. His sister, his friend, his stylist... His. Joe knew he was being very egoist, but it just took him by surprise. He had to let her go. She wasn't his girlfriend and she'd never be, and they knew that. They knew that moment would come. He just wasn't prepared. Not yet.
"Are you OK?" a sweet voice behind him said.
"Macy?" he asked. He recognized that voice. Macy was Stella's best girl friend. She was sweet, caring, athletic, pretty... She had a lot of common with Stella, but at the same time they were so different. Joe had always thought that she was all that, he just didn't show it.
"Yeah, it's me. Sorry for interrupting, but I was training and I saw somebody standing here" she said smiling. It was dark and raining, but he could recognize that smile anywhere.
"It's OK, don't worry" he said with a weak smile. Who was he trying to lie? He wasn't OK. He had lost his best friend too fast.
"Really? Cause you really don't seem OK" she said a bit down. She was worried. For him. He just looked down. "I'm sorry, I know it's none of my business, I'll just...go" she said. Oh, great. Now he had made her sad.
"No, please... Stay" he said. His voice was totally low and sad. He'd run away from home, but that didn't mean that he didn't want to talk to somebody.
"Really?" she asked, insecure. He nodded. "All right" she said. She sat next to him. For a few minutes, they just stood there quietly, without making a sound, watching the rain.
"Is this for Stella?" Macy asked in low voice. Joe looked at her and made an ironic smile. "I knew it" Macy murmured.
"I just...don't think that that guy is good enough for her" Joe explained.
"Me neither" Macy said. Joe stared at her. "I mean, he's not that hot, and not very intelligent... He's never had serious relationships before and... I don't know, there's something about him that I don't like". Joe smiled again. It was exactly how he felt. "But I guess that I have to deal with it. Stella is pretty smart, she know what she's doing. If she wants to be with him... guess I can't make her change her mind".
"I just feel like...a fool, right now. I'm so egoist. I know I gotta let her go, but it's just... I didn't know it'd happen so soon" Joe admitted. Macy sent him a sad look.
"Joe, you're not a fool" Macy said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"You just say that cause you're my biggest fan. Well, the JONAS biggest fan" he said looking down at his feet.
"No. I'm saying that cause I'm your friend. Or sometimes I like to think that I am" she whispered. "Of course you are Joe of JONAS. But you also are Joe Lucas, the funniest, sweetest and awesomest boy I've ever met" she said sincerely.
"You really meant that?" Joe asked.
"Of course" she said, smiling.
"Thank you Macy. Really" he said, this time with a sincere smile.
"Anytime" she answered. They stood there for a while again, just staring at the rain. Joe slowly turned to look at the girl that was standing by his side. She was a great friend. Even in the dark, he could notice something: there were tears pouring from her eyes.
"Macy, are you crying?" Joe asked worried.
"What?" she said, putting a hand on her cheek. "Oh, no, no, no. This is just...the rain" she said, but her voice sounded broken. Joe landed his hand on her cheek, really close to her eyes. Macy was frozen.
"And what's this, then?" he said drying a tear with his finger. Macy just looked down.
"It's nothing, really" she said. Now her voice was really low. Almost a whisper.
"Macy, if you're my friend, then I'm your friend too. Tell me what's wrong. Please" he said calmly.
"Boys" she simply said. "I'm sure you don't wanna hear it".
"Macy, trust me: I really wanna hear it".
"No you don't"
"Yes I do"
"No you don't"
"Macy" he said. Hey, nobody was more stubborn than Joe Lucas.
"All right, but after I tell you, remember that you said you wanted to hear it" she warned. "I think that...it's more than a crush. I think I'm in love and...I just don't know how to tell him". Joe froze. He felt something breaking his heart. He felt like he was losing Macy too. He didn't want to be alone. He didn't want her to go.
"Just...tell him" he sighed. He really didn't want to say it, but he was her friend. He had to do the best for her. Even if it hurt so bad.
"I can't. I think he loves another girl" Macy said weakly.
"You'll never know it if you don't try it" he said. He was crying, but trying to deny it.
"I can't. He's my friend, and I don't wanna loose him. I don't wanna be alone" she said, while she let tears fall from her eyes. Joe smiled. He knew how she felt. She didn't want to be alone, either. As him.
"You have to take a chance, Macy. Who wouldn't love you?" he said crying harder. He was losing her.
"Him. I know he doesn't love me. All this time, he's just...seen through me. He's always thought about her. And I don't wanna hurt her, either. She's like...his best friend. And mine too. She's his stylist, counselor...Like his sister" she whispered. Then the truth hit Joe like a drum. He. He was the boy Macy was talking about. He. Macy loved him. She looked at him with her eyes full of tears and stood up. "I'm sorry, Joe. I didn't want to, but it just...happened. If you don't want to talk to me, or you want to avoid me, or you don't want to see me again, I'll understand it. Don't worry" she said and then started to walk away.
Joe just stood there, frozen. Macy Misa. That sweet, caring, athletic and pretty girl who was always by his side. His friend. She was in love with him. He was shocked. Didn't know what to do. Stella had always been on his mind, and never thought about Macy. Then he started to run, reaching her.
"Macy! Please, wait!" he shouted. He was running in the rain and almost falling. But he needed to talk to her.
"No, Joe. Please, whatever it is, I don't know if I wanna hear it" she said crying and started running faster. Joe tried his best and finally got her. He stood in front of her. She was looking down, crying harder.
"Macy, listen" he started. "I'm so sorry. I... don't want to lose you, either. Please, Macy. Stay with me. Please" he begged her. She looked at him, still crying.
"No, Joe. You don't love me" she said sadly.
"Macy. I...am not sure. When I'm with you...I feel like my heart beating faster. When I see you, I smile and don't know why. I know I'm always thinking about Stella, but... I'll try to change. Like you said, I need to let her go. I need to move on. And I can't do it alone. Please" he said crying.
"Joe, I really want to stay with you but... You don't love me" she repeated. Joe was desperate. He didn't want to let her go. She was about to walk away when he put his hands on her shoulders.
"Just...let me try something, ok?" he whispered. Macy stood there, not moving. He took a deep breath and kissed her. And she didn't know exactly when, but she kissed him back. He slowly put his arms on her ships and Macy around his neck. It might sound cliché, a kiss in the rain. But for those two teenagers, it was magic.
It was too soon for Joe to say that he loved her. He had just discovered his feelings for her. He had to let Stella go, and Macy helped him. They didn't want to be alone, and from that moment, they knew they'd never be.

OK, I don't really like it, but I needed to write it. It's a bit sad...with a happy ending! I'm sorry, but I cried a little while writing this. I'm just so sensitive. I repeat that I don't like it, but if you want to, you can press this pretty green button here to leave me a review.
I'm sorry, but I don't like Joe/Stella. I just...don't like it. And in this One-Shot, I wrote what I think that Joe feels for Stella.
I repeat: I don't like this.
Thanks for reading!
P.S: I think that you recognized the song xD It's "Tell Me Why", from the Disney Channel show "JONAS".
