They're Just Tears, Nothing More

Summary: JONAS. "Look, you don't get to comfort me or whatever! You're not my best friend; you're not even a friend. I don't think we ever will be friends because most of the time, I think you hate me." Nacy! Two-Shot!

Please Note: Just follow the plot closely, that should explain it all. Just to point out: I put that the boys have known Macy for 3 years. So pretend they met in eighth grade. I hope you enjoy this two-shot, as I wrote in a rush so I wouldn't miss American Idol. I am infinitely sorry if there are any mistakes. Enjoy! (:

Disclaimer: I don't own JONAS at all. There's no witty extra reason why or what I would change if I did own JONAS.

Nick didn't know Macy that well, at all. He'd known her for almost three years and knew very little about her. He remembered the first day he'd met her. Stella had been excited for weeks that her best friend had transferred from some school in Manhattan to Horace Mantis. Nick and his brothers had spotted Stella walk into the cafeteria with this short brunette and were a little shocked to see the brown haired girl faint within 5 feet of their table. The next week Macy had become popular and the boys found their table overrun with sporty people. Stella had been delighted that Macy had found friends so quickly, but Nick was slighty annoyed at all these football, baseball, and track people who came to crowd their table. Nick had never bothered to get to know her that well, as she sat on one end of the table and he sat on the other side. All he really knew that year was her name.

The next year passed pretty somewhat of the same way, but several changes did take place. Joe and Macy became best friends, as did Kevin and Macy. Nick had wanted to make friends with Macy but he wasn't sure how. She was outgoing and immature while he was serious and had a dry sense of humor. He couldn't very well talk to her about her favorite cartoons as she talked about with Joe. He also couldn't talk to her about animals like she did with Kevin. Nick stated, whenever the topic came up with his brothers; that the only reason he wasn't best friends with Macy was because he just didn't have time to become best friends with her.

He did get jealous when he found out that Macy had dated 3 guys that year. Luck struck for him at the end of the year though. He was always found in the mornings near the staircase. Stella was sometimes there and that day was one of those days. He spotted Macy skipping over and watched her talk to Stella quietly. The bell rang which signaled to the students that they had 10 minutes to get to first period. Nick started to his English class and soon felt a presence next to him. Macy. She stated her first period was near his so they might as well walk with each other rather then awkwardly walking behind each other. They chatted about what they were doing after school and Nick walked into his class, oblivious to the fact that Macy had started sprinting to her class. Her class was not anywhere near his. In fact, it was on the other side of the building on a completely different level. This pattern went on for the last week of school. Nick realized the last day he still knew barely anything about her.

It was Thursday, the following year, when everything changed. It was Health and Safety class, more precisely. Nick hadn't seen Macy all morning but he usually didn't look for her so he didn't know she was gone. Nick, Joe, and Stella took their seats and it was then that Nick noticed that the seat just front of him to the left was empty. Joe usually sat next to him and Stella usually sat next on Macy's left. With Macy missing he could see Stella perfectly, for some reason that made him uncomfortable. He leaned over to Joe who looked a little lost without his bestfriend. Nick also noticed Stella held the same expression.

"Joe! Where's Macy?" Joe shrugged his shoulders and whispered the question to Stella. Stella whispered something back and then looked to the front of the class.

"Stella said she hasn't heard from Macy since yesterday afternoon. Why do you suddenly care about Macy's whereabouts?" Joe questioned.

"I don't, I just feel bad that you're not going to have someone to giggle with today." Nick snapped back. Joe gave his younger brother an annoyed look and put his head down onto his desk.

Sixteen minutes later the door flew open and Macy walked in looking like she'd just rolled out of bed. Well, it was more of the way she was dressed. She wore grey sweatpants and a sweatshirt with the words Smile on it. The words were not reflective of Macy's face at all. Macy's face would have been considered flawless and beautiful if not for the shiny tear filled eyes. Her hair was pulled in two braided pigtails and it amazed Nick how someone who was usually upbeat and peppy could look so depressed. He did recall a couple months ago that Joe told him that Nick shouldn't judge a book by its cover because of something Macy had told Joe. Nick had demanded then begged for Joe to explain but the second oldest didn't elaborate at all. Macy slid into her seat and passes up the paper the class had collected a couple minutes ago. Their teacher, Mrs. Marioton, stood at the front of the class and started talking about CPR and while she rambled about how not everyone can and will be saved, Nick continued watching Macy. She was softly tapping her pink pen on her orange folder and wasn't even trying to pretend she wasn't paying attention.

"Joe. Are you guys going off campus for lunch today?" Nick heard Stella discreetly whisper to Joe. He saw Joe nod and leaned over slightly to hear why Stella was asking.

"Will you drop me and Macy off at my house? I'm not going to chemistry today so make sure and tell Ms. Barley I left early." Nick wondered why the girls would skip class but he figured that one of them would tell him eventually.

By lunch time the four of them, Kevin stuck around campus to make sure nobody was aware of Macy and Stella ditching the next class, were pulling up in front of Stella's brick home. The boys insisted on walking the girls to the door and Nick followed closely behind Macy and right before Stella opened the door Nick asked why the girls were skipping their next class. Before Stella could give a polite "it's something you don't need to know", Macy had spun around and said her own answer with venom.

"It's none of your business!" Macy's hazel eyes looked sharp and eerie and Nick had never seen them so intense before.

"Well sorry, I just want to know so maybe I can be a friend and comfort you or something." Nick stated weakly. He wasn't really sure what to say to Macy who looked like she wanted to rip his head off.

"Look, you don't get to comfort me or whatever! You're not my best friend; you're not even a friend. I don't think we ever will be friends because most of the time, I think you hate me." Macy said softly with an angry expression on her face. Nick was honestly not sure of where her statement had come from. But he did know Macy had been dead serious because after she said it she twisted Stella's key in the lock and raced into the house. Stella watched Macy's figure disappear into her house and she just shook her head. She waved goodbye to the boys and shut the door without a word. Joe gave Nick a look and turned around. Nick wasn't sure what had just happened and how in a total of 3 minutes he had been given the silent treatment by 2 people and yelled at by another. He trudged back to the car hoping everything would be explained.

So end of chapter one, the ending chapter will be up within the next day or so. So did you like it? Did you hate it and want it to burn in a pool of hot cocoa? I hope the first one but the latter would be funny (:
