Why does life have to be so hard? I mean one-day life turns into a roller coaster ride, and in a blink of an eye everyone knows you. Man, but I do sort of like the attention. Who wouldn't; but it does get pretty annoying. Oh great, look, more cameras are coming this way. I wish they would leave me alone.
"Brianna over here!" A man screamed from beyond the clingy crowd said.
"Yes?" I questioned trying to break free from all the paparazzi.
He shoved a microphone in my face, "Can you tell me how your boyfriend is doing?"
"Well?" I hesitated rolling my eyes. "Like I keep telling you, I'm single, ok?"
"Yeah, yeah we all know your gonna deny it, but we all know the truth!" He screamed as I pushed through all the microphones and cameras stepping into my baby-blue limo.
"Rob?" I asked my driver.
"Yes Ms. Bri?" he questioned looking back at me through one of the mirrors.
"Um…how do they know?"
"I'm not sure what you're talking about."
"You know about my…" Shattering glass and squealing tires interrupted me. ".Gosh!" I yelled running out of the limousine, "what…are….gosh!"
I finally relaxed, and caught my breath to say, "Are you alright? I was speaking to the other driver of a black, windows as dark as night, limo that we crashed into.
He stepped out and coughed, "Yeah, yeah I'm fine!"
"Did you have passengers?" I asked with concern.
"Oh!" he ran to the back and opened the door, "you guys okay?"
"Super Duper, what did we hit a truck?" a strangely familiar voice asked.
"Um not exactly." The driver named Bill said. I read his nametag.
"Oh well what did we hit?" I saw three boys staring at me through the windshield, but I couldn't make out whom they were.
"Um…sir we hit a girl's limo." Bill replied.
"Well excuse me Bill. Let me see whose so we can apologize."
As soon as the three boys stepped out my jaw dropped.
"Well hi there!" The youngest of the three said coming to hug me, "nice to see you again."
"Oh wow…I haven't seen…hey!"
"Well hello don't I get a hug too?" the other two boys asked.
"Of coarse!" I ran to hug them, but something came across my mind.
"You know I've missed you guys so much, and to say hi I wrecked your limo. I'm so sorry."
"Oh no we apologize." Kevin answered fast.
"You um wanna come with us…you know…out somewhere?" Nick asked sweetly, smiling.
"Oh. I don't want to be a bother."
"Oh no I insist." Joe flirted.
"Oh do you?" I flirted back.
"Yes I do!" Nick pushed Joe.
I laughed, "Oh well then ok."
"So Brianna, how are you?" Kevin blurted out from nowhere.
"You know, better now!" I paused, "well I think you guys are really nice for inviting me!"
"No it's no problem, you know we love you!" Nick blushed.
"Well okay then." I scooted closer to him.
"Um…SO what's your favorite song by us?" Kevin asked.
"Wow, hard question Kevin. They're all amazing, so I'm gonna have to say that I don't know."
As I finished talking Joe blurted out, "So Brianna you like any of us?"
"Um…well I don't know!" I gave him my Joe-where-are-you-going-with-this looks.
"Jeez Joe you might scare her away, knock it off!" Nick joked.
"He wouldn't dare scare me away! He's a great guy."
"Oh…" Nick sighed again.
"But I mean you all are great guys." I improvised "But I probably wouldn't date him."
"Why wouldn't you date me?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't want to, but I don't know, I kind of like someone else." I glanced at Nick, "and plus you're like a brother to me."
"Oh I see" he pushed me over and made me land in Nick's lap.
"Um…I'm so sorry!" I said looking up at Nick, then quickly getting myself up, and smacking Joe at the same time.
"Oh no don't be." Nick death glared at Joe then softened up and started at me.
"Yeah he loves you I already can tell. He always gets them all."
"Aww…Joe well maybe he won't get this one after all." I looked at him and saw his flustered cheeks and sad expression.
I wrapped my arms around him, tightly, and kissed his cheek. As he turned to look out the window, and his reflection let me see he felt a little better.
"Wait, what just happened?" Kevin re-thought about what he just saw.
"I think Brianna just kissed Joe!" Nick said in disbelief.
"Guys calm down, she was just trying to make me feel better!!!!!" he raised his voice, "leave her be!"
"Joe please!" I sighed looking at his brother's faces.
"Wow Joe…didn't have to yell." Nick and Kevin said together.
"I'm sorry but you guys are acting like she's all mine, she's not, yet!" he joked.
"HAHA funny Joe." Nick replied not sounded happy about that comment.
"Hey!" Kevin yelled, "you guys stop fighting over her; look what you did!" he pointed at me.
With all this screaming I can't take it! But they are fighting over me! Yay to that! Wow, I wonder who's going to ask me out, if any of them. Wait, what am I saying? I already have one of them!
"Brianna are you okay?" Nick asked hugging me.
"I'm fine!" I snapped.
"Alright." He sighed, "sorry!" he let go of me and slid away so I would be alone. But that didn't last long.
I felt an arm wrap around me then another arm pull me up.
"Hey!" Joe said, "it's alright you're with me now, right?"
I couldn't help but nudge him away. "Please…just…I need to be alone." I said.
"Okay but the rest of us are going inside." He replied.
As I looked up I saw a huge sign that read, In-and-Out-Burger. I saw two boys get out but one was left with me. Nick.
"Why aren't you going in? I asked.
"I want to make sure you're your okay, are you?"
"Yeah, but can I tell you something?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Well I have to admit you're really cute…" I confessed not looking at him.
"Oh really? You do? That's cool. Same."
"What? I was confused for a moment.
"I mean you're cute too." He laughed.
"Really?" I perked up.
"Yeah so…um what do we do?"
"Well I don't know." I stopped talking and leaned in, close to Nick's face. I took a breath. I was ready to kiss him when the door opened. So I quickly scooted away.
"Hey guys we decided to join you what's up?" Kevin leaned into the limo.
"Um nothing much Kevin!" Nick snapped his fingers.
"Oh! Um Joe let's go back inside!"
"No! You guys can stay." I yelled.
Nick gave me a what-are-you-doing-you-were-about-to-kiss-me glare. I looked at him and mouthed I'm sorry. He said okay and he got out of the limo, so I followed. He was pacing back and fourth, then leaned against the limo and asked, "Why did you do that?"
"What?" I asked.
"You totally wanted to kiss me but you backed down…what's wrong?"
"I just thought about the pros and cons, if we went out."
"Oh so what's your decision?"
I got quiet and walked in front of him. He looked at me, and walked towards me grabbing my hands. Then he wrapped his around my waist, and pulled me close.
"Wow!" he said.
"What?"
"You're eyes are amazing."
Then we both shut up, and I pushed him backwards. So we would be against the limo. Then I leaned into kiss him again. This time I stopped right before I did. Joe kept coming back into my thoughts. Joe or Nick?
"What's the matter?"
"I don't know." I answered letting go of him and started walking back to the limo, "again I'm really sorry!" I did know what was wrong, but I couldn't tell him.
"Yeah me too!" he walked behind me grabbing my hands right before I was about to open the door. He twirled me around and his arms were placed back where they were before. So I sighed.
"I don't understand." I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"What?"
"You're such an awesome guy, and I know now why I've been acting like this."
"What is it?"
"I…I…I go…" he interrupted me.
He pulled me closer and wrapped me tightly. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and started to play with his awesome locks. Then he kissed me. It lasted about ten seconds when I opened my eyes, and saw Joe peeking at us. So I pushed Nick off of me. I saw Joe's face drop and his eyes frowned for him.
"JOE!" I yelled running to him.
"Go away." Joe walked into the restaurant.
"Joe please! Wait up!"
"What's going on?" Nick asked.
"I'll explain later, this is why it was so hard to kiss you in the first place." I said angrily, "Joe!"
"What? Go away you two timer."
"Joe!" I broke down in tears, "it's not what you think…I didn't mean…Joe please!" I screamed crying.
"Brianna!" he came over to me and leaned down, "listen don't cry, I'm not mad, just please." He pulled me up. Then he kissed me.
"Joe you're mad. I already know."
"No! I can't stay mad at you, you know that."
I took time to remember this moment. I really did love him. We've been dating for one year and three months. But one thing we haven't done, was tell everyone we were actually an item. I looked up at him.
"That was the light of my day!" he laughed.
"Mine too."
"So who kisses better me or Nick?"
"Joe!!!!"
"What? I'm serious."
"Um…you!"
"I knew it." He laughed harder.
