Now we're making headlines, primetime
I didn't mind not being known, fame never really interested me. So I was behind the camera, instead of in front of it. We were on the Jonas Brothers tour bus, right in the middle of the sold out Look Me In The Eyes tour on our way to El Paso, Texas from Detroit Michigan, an 18 hour drive. I was squeezed between Joe and Kevin, Nick leaning on my chair. All our eyes glued to the computer screen, as I uploaded another Jonas youtube video.
"Kevin call the driver and tell him to stop at the next place to eat, I'm starving," Joe complained.
Giving Joe a pathetic attempt at a dirty look, he turned and headed toward the phone in the lounge. As I clicked to confirm the uploaded video I stood up and stared down the hallway, just as Kevin was coming back.
"Next stop, Burger King," he said
We were facing each other now, trying to find a way to fit both of us through the narrow hallway. Kevin smiled at me. A smile that I knew all too well.
"Don't you even think about it!" I warned.
But it was too late. Joe was already behind me, blocking me from an attempted escape. Kevin bent down, grabbed my knees and threw me over his shoulder, Joe laughing hysterically as I dangled helplessly. I giggled, as Kevin playfully swung me onto an empty bunk, which just so happened to be Nick's. His bed was in the top row of bunks, so my feet were dangling over the edge. Acting quickly, I grabbed a pillow and took a swing at Kevin's head with it. But he ducked, and I hit Joe in the face instead. I rolled over on Nick's bed, laughing as I buried my face in his pillow, to muffle the continuous giggling. The bus was slowing down. I jumped down from the bed, put Nick's pillow right where it had been before, and smoothed out the bed covers. He was so annoyingly organized; it drove me to the point of insanity.
"Lex," Nick started, "you wanna burger?"
"Yup," I said, collapsing on one of the couches.
Nick told Kevin and Joe what I wanted. He already knew my order, considering I got the same exact thing every stop we made. He sat next to me as Joe and Kevin hopped off the bus, skipping toward the open Burger King doors. We talked for a minute, until Joe popped his head in the bus.
"Nick, Lexee, there's no people out here, come get some air," he said.
I looked at Nick, who looked back at me, smiling.
He hopped down the steps of the bus two at a time, me following behind him. But I lost my footing on the last step, and grabbed onto the sturdiest thing in arms reach…Nicholas. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He wasn't expecting me to fall on him, so he stumbled to the grass and fell over, me still clinging tight. I landed beside him, my head resting on his chest. We lay there, gasping and laughing for a minute until we heard whispering behind us. Thinking it was Joe or Kevin, I looked up. My stomach dropped.
The flash of the camera was next, and someone shouted "Nick Jonas! Who's the girl?!" Nick jumped up, accidentally kicking me in the head…hard. After that, everything was a blur.
