A/N: Hey Guys! This is just a new idea that I wanted to try out. Here are a few things that you need to know. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: Sean is played by Ryan Guzman, Marco is played by Chase Crawford, Jesus is played by Jake T. Austin, and Nate is played by Nick Jonas. Nina's outfit will be on profile. Read and Review!


The Martin-Cortez clan has gone through a lot in life, two deaths, relocation, and just general hard times. There are four members of this close knit family, Marco the eldest who is 23, Sean who is 18, Jesus who is 17, and Nina who is 16. Nina, being the youngest is always watched over closely by her brothers. They've all become inseparable since the loss of their parents four years ago. Since then, it's been them and only them. At the time of their parents tragic death Marco was 19.

So he was able to get the legal rights of his brothers and sister. Sadly, they had to move. Not very far, but away from the place they once called home. They now live in a nice Brooklyn apartment, with a decent size... well everything. Sean, Jesus, and Nina are still in high school, while Marco is out of school.

The three attend Memorial High, the school where spirit rules.

Nina's not really into the school sports or whatever, but since Sean and Jesus plus her best friend Eddie are all on the basketball team there she's pretty much obligated to come and support.

It was the last day of school, Nina walked down the busy streets of New York in an effort to get home, but was interrupted by a mob of her close friends. Amber, Joy, and now ex-boyfriend Fabian. "Are you sure you don't want to come with us Nina?" Pleaded Amber.

"We're going to England for the summer! Did you hear me Nina? I said England!"

Nina rubbed her left ear from the intensity of Amber's pleas. "I'm sure Amber. I just want to stay with my brothers."

Amber sighed and stated. "Fine. I'll be in England while your still here in New York. Bye Nina."

She huffed and walked away. Nina laughed lightly at Amber and waved good bye to Joy and Fabian who ran after Amber.

Nina just smiled to herself and held on to her bag. She was in such deep thought that he ran into a complete stranger. She quickly apologized and went on her way home. She finally reached home and dropped her bag at the door. "Pick it up!" Shouted Marco from the other room.

Nina rolled her eyes and walked towards the kitchen. "You know it's easier for us to get along if you don't act like a total parent, or shall I say an ass?"

She made the move to walk away but was put to an halt when Marco shouted "Nathalia Juanita Contessa Maria Martin-Cortez don't. Go pick up the bag."

She groaned loudly and picked up the bag. As she took the bag and stomped off towards her room. Her brother Sean peaked out of his. "You got the full name sis? Ouch." He grinned and walked away.

She ignored him and walked away into her room. She closed the door and locked it hoping for some form of privacy. Nina's other brother Jesus broke that so called privacy when he barged in the door. "Locking your door. Really Nathalia?" Not effective." He walked towards her and picked her up. "You know you're really light."

"Jesus put me down!" Nina laughed. As he set her down she asked "What do you need Jesus, cause I don't think lifting me was it."

"Yeah, there was this guy looking for you. He's in the kitchen with Sean and Marco." Nina's eyes widened and started for the door, but Jesus grabbed the back of her shirt. "Not so fast. Who's this guy and what does he want with you? You know we don't like it when a guy comes here looking for you. The only exception is Eddie. So you're going to tell this guy to stay away or I will."

Nina pulled out of his grasp and flipped him off as she left the room. She walked towards the kitchen and saw two familiar faces, and one unfamiliar yet cute one. "Okay, but you still shouldn't be here." Stated Marco.

Sean leaned against the counter and looked the guy straight in the eye. "How about I just kick your ass because you want to see my sister. I think that's fair."

Nina rushes into the kitchen and grabbed the stranger by the shoulders. "How about we talk outside. Away from my brothers."

Jesus leaned against the doorway and shot daggers at the guy as Nina led him out the kitchen. "Don't you dare touch her." He warned.

Once Nina and the guy reached outside she was the first to speak. "I'm so sorry about that. My brothers are a bit over protective."

The guy laughed. "It's cool. I'm Nate by the way. You ran into me on the street earlier and you dropped this notebook. So here."

Nina looked down at the notebook, her song book. She wrote everything in there. Her thoughts, her deepest feelings, and some songs. I guess she shouldn't really call it a song book then. "Thanks." She uttered out. "I guess I'll see you around."

Nate gave her a soft smile before heading down the street. As she turned to go back inside a familiar voice called out to her. She turned around to see Eddie run towards her. "Hey Nat. You won't believe what's going on tonight."

She faked thinking for a moment. "Let me think. Is it that huge beginning of summer party they always have?" Eddie grinned sheepishly. "Ed, you know I never go to those parties. What makes you think I'll go now?"

The pair made their way into the building as they continued their conversation. "You will go because your best friend in the entire world is going, and it will be fun."

She shook her head at his words and simply stated. "No."

"No? You never say no to me!" He exclaimed.

"No Eddie I'm not going, and nothing will make me." She stated as she unlocked the door to the apartment. She was met with her three brothers staring at her intensely. "All he did was return my notebook. See?" She held up the notebook.

"Don't talk to him again. We don't like him." Demanded Sean.

"Who are you to tell me who I can and cannot talk to. I will do whatever I want, when I want, with who I want." She yelled. She walked even closer to her brothers as she fiercely said "And you know what? I'm going to a party tonight, and not one of you are going to stop me."

She grabbed Eddie's arm and dragged him to her room. Eddie sat down on her bed and watched as she paced back and forth. "So you're going to the party tonight?"

She stopped to look at him. "I kind I have to now. They just infuriate me! Telling me who I can and cannot see. Who do they think they are?"

Eddie stood from his spot on the bed. "My guess is that they think they are your brothers."

She gave him a hardcore glare and pushed him towards the door. "Go home, get changed and come back and pick me up for the party. Now go!"


Nina looked in the mirror once more before she started for the door. She was wearing a red layered spaghetti strap top with white high waisted shorts and a pair of timberlands. Her hair was in loose waves. She dressed like that just so that she could get a reaction out of her brothers. She walked into the living room and only saw Marco on the couch. " Where's Sean and Jesus?" She asked.

"They are at a party." He looked up from his phone and opened his mouth. In shock at what she was wearing.

"Nathalia, getting dressed up is nice, but like that when you're my sister is a no. Besides you are not going anywhere." Nina opened her mouth to speak, but was silenced by Marco. "Don't even try to argue with me. When I say no its because I care, not because I'm being a butt."

She groaned loudly and walked off towards her room. She locked her door and quickly texted Eddie. It read: Don't come directly to my place. Meet me in front of the building. I'm sneaking out.

She opened her window, which led to the fire escape. She carefully climbed out and left the window slightly cracked so that she could get back in. She quickly, yet carefully climbed down the fire escape to the ground floor. There she saw Eddie sitting on the front step of the building waiting for her. He was wearing his varsity jacket with a white v-neck and some jeans.

The pairs eyes met and his begged for permission to do what he wanted to the most. He walked up to her and kissed her square on the lips. She kissed back as the two stayed just like that for a few minutes. When the kiss broke he asked heavily. "You know, I still don't like that we have to keep us a secret. I mean I am your best friend but I'm also your boyfriend. It's been six months Nat."

"I know." She breathed. "It's just that my brothers would ruin what we have, and I don't want that to happen. You know I love you right?"

He grinned. "Yeah I love you too." He kissed her temple and led her down the street. "Let's go have fun at the party."


The party was in full swing, teens dancing and drinking as if it were their last days on earth. Eddie's hand was on Nina's lower back as he led her inside. "I'm going to get us something to drink."

Eddie left for a moment to go get them their drinks. Nina stood there looking around at what was going on. A lot of the kids looked either drunk or as close to drunk as possible. She looked down at her phone and waited patiently for him to come back. She felt a tap on her shoulder.

Puzzled, she turned around to see Nate, the guy whom she ran in to earlier. "Hey! I didn't know you went to Memorial."

A look of surprise came over her face. "Yeah. I didn't know you went to Memorial either. I'm going to be a junior next year. I'm not even sure if you know my name. I'm Nina." She smiled softly.

"I know why I haven't seen you. I'm going to be a senior next year."

She nodded her head. "So my guess is that you have met my brothers Jesus and Sean. Seeing that you are all in the same grade."

He scratched the back of his neck. "Yeah well we know each other very well."

She raised her eyebrow at this. "Care to elaborate?"

He grinned sheepishly. "I might have one time said that you were cute, and now they kind of hate me."

Nina began to feel awkward at this confession. "Um, yeah they'll hate you after you say something like that."

"Yeah, but you are really cute Nina. If you aren't-" he began.

At that moment Eddie came up behind Nina with their drinks. "Here you go Nat." He kissed her cheek as he handed her the drink. He looked up and noticed Nate standing there. "What's up man. I'm Eddie."

Nate looked around for an escape, but couldn't find one. "Nate. Uh. So you two are dating?"

Eddie and Nina shared a look. Nina answered this. "Yeah. We are. Well-"

"Nathalia!" a voice called out.

All heads whipped towards the sound of the voice. All eyes were on a very angry Sean. "What are you doing here? We said that you weren't going anywhere!" He spotted the red solo cup in her hand. "Nathalia Martin-Cortez, you better not have drank any alcohol."

Jesus walked out from another room in the house. "Whoa. What's with everyone being out here?" He spotted a very embarrassed Nina and angry Sean. "What's going on here?" He asked.

Sean looked around at the people around the group. "We're going home. C'mon Jesus I'll fill you in on the way home."


Later at the party Eddie was playing pool with Nate and two other guys. "So Eddie, how long have you known Nina? You know before you two started dating." asked Nate.

Eddie's face showed a look of pure confusion. "Why do you need to know?" He asked.

Nate bent down over the table to play his round. "No reason. Just curious is all."

"Be curious about someone else's relationship then. I know you have a thing for her. I am friends with her brothers after all."

Nate laughed. "Since you are friends with her brothers I'm sure they don't mind that you guys are dating. Right?"

Eddie began to feel uneasy about where this was going. He cleared his throat and spoke. "Sure. Whatever."

Nate set down his pool stick. "Just what I thought. They don't know. I'll see you around Eddie."


"What is up with you Nathalia? You don't even go by your real name anymore, you distance yourself from us, and your not being yourself." Asked Marco.

Nina sighed. "Noting is 'up!' Maybe you guys haven't noticed that I have changed. That maybe I'm not the same twelve year old that needed you guys four years ago." She looked at all three of them. "I'm not even going to talk about this."

Nina got off the couch and walked out the apartment.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Shouted Marco.

"Out." She replied.


Eddie got up from his bed at the sound of knocking at his window. He was dressed in some sweat pants with no shirt on.

He lifted the window and watched as Nina crawled in. "Nathalia?" He asked. He closed the window. "What are you doing here at 2am?"

She hugged him tightly. "I just needed to get out. They're suffocating me."

Eddie's chin rested on top her head as he stroked her long dirty blonde hair. "You can stay here tonight if you want to. My mom isn't home, but you have to talk to them at some point."

He felt her nod her head. "How about we make a list. A list of things we want to do this summer, and we'll have the most fun we've ever had."

She pulled away from their tight embrace and answered. "Okay."

He led her to the office and said "Let's make that list."

Together they made that list, not knowing what was ahead of them.
