I don't own these people just to clear things up ;)

A soft tap on my window made me jump out of my unspoken questions and I walked over to it, frowning a bit. I unlocked the window and pulled it up. I gasped and stared at my visitor.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered happily.

"I just need to tell you something." He whispered, clearly out of breath.

"What?"

"This." And with that Joe brought his lips down onto mine and kissed me roughly.

I kissed him back, but a soft knock on my door made everything vanish. It was a dream. One of the many I've had of him and me. Some not so innocent as this one, if you know what I mean.

"Nate?" It was Nick, weird.

"Yeah?" I groaned as I turned to look at the clock that read past two am.

"Can I s-stay h-here?" It sounded like he was crying but why?

My brotherly instincts kicked in and he opened the door. I motioned for him to come in and I moved over in my bed so he could fit. He closed the door and got in with me. He sniffled a bit and I reached a hand to touch his cheek, but to my surprise it was wet.

"Nick, what's wrong?" I asked worriedly.

"I-I can't do t-this a-anymore Nate! I w-want to live a n-normal life."

I felt so bad for my brother, even if he's been a total jerk, but he's my blood. After his girlfriend dumped him last year, he's gotten so much worse with the partying and hooking up. He actually loved her and that stupid slut had to cheat on my poor brother. He always told me he was fine, but I knew he was lieing. I stopped talking to him after that since he became irritated so easily I was actually afraid he'd hit me or something. She really messed him up.

"Nicky, you know I've always been here to talk. And I'll always be here for you and I'll help you with whatever problems you have." I said sincerely.

"T-Thank you."

And Nick did something that surprised me. He hugged me and said he loved me. I smiled and hugged him back. I'm getting my brother back and nothing's gonna take him away from me again. Nothing.

After awhile, Nick was sound asleep and I was still up, wondering what made my brother change like that. But everytime I tried and pull something out, it would go away.

The next morning when I woke up, Nick was still sleeping next to me. I got out of bed quietly and walked into my bathroom and took a shower. When I walked out of the bathroom fully dressed, Nick walked out of my room and he pulled me into a hug. Then without warning, he pushed me away and walked down the stairs. Uh, bipolar much?

Monday finally arrived and Nick went back to ignoring me. I should've seen it coming though. Everything Nick told me was too good to be true. He's just so, grr. I wanna punch him in the face sometimes. The girls didn't want visit, called or texted me after our movie night, but I'm used to it. That lonely feeling I get when I realize no one wants to hang out with me.

"Hey Nate!" Sonny called cheerily as she walked over to my locker.

"Hey." I mumbled, not letting her see my eyes.

"Nate wha-?"

"Just leave me alone."

I walk away leaving her confused. Good. I want her to feel what I feel when they leave me out of their hang outs. I bumped into Justin, Alex's brother and he smiled before wrapping an arm around my shoulders. I lean against him and sigh.

"What's wrong little bro?" He asks.

"It's Nick. He's acting like a jerk again after he said he loved me and had a breakdown and told me he wanted to change. I don't get him Justin. I just don't." I admitted, feeling a tear trickle down my left cheek.

"Bud, Nick wants to change, trust me, but it's not like he's gonna be a complete different person at the change of dawn. Give him sometime, but you know Alex, Max, mom, dad and I will always be here for you, ok?" Justin said.

"I know. Thanks Just."

I walked off, but then someone pushed me into the bathroom and I couldn't help but yelp, although I already know who it is.

"I'm sorry baby." He says with sincere eyes.

"It's alright. What do you need?" I ask him.

"I miss you and I want to know what's wrong? You've been acting weird all morning." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pecked my lips.

"It's nothing, just feeling a bit lonely." I admit, staring into his gorgeous eyes.

"Well stop your loneliness, your Romeo is here to make you feel happy." He started kissing down my neck and I shivered.

As much as I want him, I can't let him take my virginity in a school bathroom. I pushed him away just as his hand started undoing my jeans.

"Ch-Chase no. Not here." I stuttered.

"Naww come on babe."

Chase pushed me against the wall and kissed me roughly. I didn't kiss him back, but he pulled away and slapped me. More tears formed in my eyes and Chase took off my shirt and was about to take off my pants when the door opened. Guess someone forgot to lock it.

"Get away from him!" Nick yelled and pushed Chase down on the floor.

I slid down the wall shaking a bit and watched as my brother punched the guy I... loved? I grabbed my shirt and quickly put it on. I watched as Chase walked off bleeding from his nose and I bit my lip. Nick kneeled in front of me and wiped away my tears.

"You ok Nate?" He asked me.

"Y-You didn't h-have to hit him." I cried, looking into his almost black eyes.

"Damn it Nathan! I'm trying to protect you from that sick bastard and you're defending him?! The fuck is wrong with you!" Nick got up and punched a wall, making me flinch.

"I-I just w-want to f-feel l-loved." I whispered while looking down in shame.

I know better. I know I shouldn't be in a relationship where my partner hits me, but he makes me feel so loved. Like no one else.

"Kitten." Nick said, sitting in front of me once again.

I smiled at the use of my old nickname. When I was little, almost everyone called me kitten because I'd make purring noises like a cat and well, I was always resting on peoples laps. I lunged forward, wrapping my arms around Nick's neck and making him fall backwards with me on top. He chuckled a bit and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I want you to break up with him as soon as possible." Nick said.

"But-"

"No buts Nate. I don't want him hurting you anymore."

I just nodded against his chest and he sat us up. He wiped away a lingering tear and we both stood up. The bell rang signaling lunch time. Damn I skipped last period. Oh well.

"Come on skippy. I'm starving." Nick grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the bathroom.

I can get used to this Nick.

=3

oh yeah and it's gonna be Niley as well
