"So...where were you?" he questioned, eyeing his brother. He was wearing a frightening smile – he had never seen it on his older brother before. He seemed to be extremely happy; it was slightly scary.

"Just in some music store," he shrugged, slouching onto the couch. He didn't want his brothers to know about Lilly yet – he wanted to see what happened. She was a mystery and he liked it.

"Joe...you were gone for more than 3 hours," Kevin intoned, ruffling his brothers hair. He knew it annoyed Joe when people touched his hair – he was very protective of it. He laughed slightly as he 'fixed' his hair.

"It was a good music store," he mumbled, moving away from his brothers' hands. He could feel their eyes on him, but, he didn't want to tell them. He wanted Lilly to be kept a secret – he wanted her to be his secret.

"Look, whatever – we've gotta start practicing; the concerts in an hour," Nick glared, picking up his fallen guitar. They were supposed to be rehearsing an hour ago but Joe had gone missing in action.

"Calm down bro, we'll be all g," Joe smiled, ruffling his younger brothers' curls. It was fun to get Nick riled up, but he knew he was right. He shouldn't have pushed the limits of his 'free' time – he just couldn't leave her. He was too curious.


"What am I going to wear?!" she screeched, rummaging through her room. She couldn't find anything that appealed to her. She didn't want to over-do it, but, she wanted to look nice. She was invited by the stars of the show – she had to look appealing.

'Just wear some jeans and a t-shirt...unless you actually care wh-'

"Do not!" Lilly interrupted, blushing furiously. She wasn't sure of her feelings yet – she didn't want to think. She just wanted to concentrate of her feelings; she needed to discover exactly what she felt before she could move forward.

'Lils...wake up and smell the spicy chicken. I can hear it in your voice...just admit you like the boy...'

"Miles, it's not even like that. I was just invited because...well, I um...I don't know..." she mumbled, furrowing her brow slightly. She still wasn't quite sure to make of the invitation, but, she knew she wanted to follow it.

'Sweet nibblets Lillian...that boy basically said he liked you and you're fretting over the invitation? Just go there and knock their socks off...'

"Easy for you to say Ms Montana...I don't have the confidence you do," Lilly retorted, slumping onto the bed. She was beginning to think that it was a bad idea for her to go – he would just forget her anyway. She was just a normal girl starting to get swept up by the infamous Joe Jonas. She wasn't sure what she was to make of that.

'Lils...you weren't star-struck by them before. Remember...they're just a band in a world filled with others like them. There's no need to treat them any differently...'

"I know that, but...I dunno Miles – he just gave me chills. He appears to be exactly what the media portrays him to be," she stated, looking in the mirror at her hair. She had just gotten out of the shower and started to get ready for the concert when she rang Miley. She needed her best-friend but, she was busy on the other side of the world. She thanked God for the invention of cell-phones.

'They are sweet boys Lilly...You'll enjoy yourself...'

"I can't believe you're not comin' with, you know? Usually it's you that gets us into crazy situations," she laughed, twirling a piece of her blonde her. She casually got out her black skinny jeans, converse and just a red graphic t-shirt.

'I know babe...but, this'll just be your adventure. You don't need me there to hold your hand Lilly – you're a big girl...'

"I don't wanna go," she pouted, crossing her arms. She knew she was acting immature, but, she was just nervous. She wasn't sure if she could just walk up to the three brothers. She knew she didn't like their music or their looks – but, they were still in the public eye. They were still wanted worldwide by many girls and one had chosen her to meet up with them.

'Lillian Truscott you will go see that concert! You can't let the boy down; he'll be waiting on you...'

"Miley...he's Joe Jonas – he can have anyone in the world, why would he invite me?" she asked, slumping back onto her bed. She played with her nails as she listened to Mileys answer; a smile forming on her face at her friends words.

'Lilly...you're beautiful and smart and fun...anyone would die to have as their friend let alone girlfriend! He obviously has an interest in you to invite you to the concert...you have to go...'

"I guess you're right Miles...I just...I'm so nervous!" she gushed, running her hands through her hair. Her lip was already bruised from her nervous habit of biting it. Her hands were shaking – she wasn't even sure why she was nervous. They never affected her like this before.

'That's understandable Lils...you'll be fine...'

"Thanks Miley...Look, I've gotta go, but, I'll ring you after yeah?" she smiled, hanging up her phone. She fell back onto the bed in exhaustion – she hadn't even been to the concert and she was tired. Her smile grew as her phone rang again; the number coming up as unknown. She knew who it was. "Hello?"

'Hey...it's um, it's Joe...you know, Joe Jonas?'

"Yeah?" she asked, counting to ten in her head. She didn't want to seem too eager with the boy; she still wasn't sure how she felt.

'I was just...are you here yet?'

"No...I'm just about to leave my house now," she laughed, giggling at his eagerness. She knew he wanted to see her – she could feel it underneath her skin. His voice gave her chills and she liked it. No one else had been able to make her feel that way for a long time.

'Okay cool...just send me a txt when you get here and I'll send someone out to give you your tickets...'

"Yeap okay, I'll probably be another 20 minutes," she stated, walking down the stairs of her house. The doorbell had just rung and she was eager to see who it was. She didn't get many visitors because her mom was away for the month.

'Okay...can't wait to see you...'

"Yeah, you too," she blushed, hanging her head slightly. Her phone was shut and chucked onto the couch as she opened the door. Her eyes widened in surprise – she hadn't seen him for over 6 months and yet he hadn't changed a bit.

"Hey Lils," he smiled, waving his hand slightly. He knew it was a shock to just turn up on her doorstep – but he knew they needed to sort things out. He had left things on such a bad note that it followed him everywhere. He needed to fix things with the girl that used to be his best-friend.

"Ryan," she intoned, stepping back for the boy to step in. She was wondering why he was there – he hadn't bothered to call. Their relationship was on rocky group; his leaving making her fall apart. She wasn't sure what she was supposed to do with him.


"She wasn't there," he said, moodily chucking his tambourine on the couch. His scowl grew worse as it just bounced onto the floor. He couldn't believe she had ditched him. She knew he wanted her to be there, but yet, she didn't show up. 'What's with that...' he thought angrily, slumping onto the couch.

"Who wasn't where?" Nick asked, jumping into the seat beside his pouting bother. He was still pumped from the concert before, but he had seen the difference in his 'hyper' brother. He wasn't as into the show as he usually was. He was still all over the place but his smiles weren't all there – it was as if he was looking for something.



"Lilly...Lillian Truscott – she said she'd be there but she wasn't! God I'm such an idiot," he shouted, smacking his palm against his forehead. He couldn't believe that he was acting this way. He had only known her for 2 – 3 hours, yet, he was already attached to her.

"Who's that?" Kevin questioned, eyeing his distressed brother. He had never seen the boy this way – it was as if he was slightly losing his mind. His hair was ruffled and his body was tense. He was worried about him.

"I met her when I was at that music store...she's...she's a mystery," he whispered, looking up to his older brother. It was times like these that he really appreciated Kevin. He was always there to help both him and Nick and he did it without complaint.

"You like her..." Nick intoned, looking towards Joe. He was worried about the boy – on stage and off. He had seen Joe try to be his 'concert' self but, there was something off when he sang. His eyes never stopped scanning the crowd and he was always reaching for his cell-phone in his pocket.

"She sparked my interest," he shrugged, looking towards both of them. They were family – the three of them. They were closer than normal brothers and he was glad for that. He wasn't sure if he could go through the whole 'fame' thing without his family.

"I'm sure she'd have a good reason Joe...why don't you give her a call?" Kevin stated, nudging his younger brother. He knew that the boy was usually lost when it came to relationships – he was always nervous when it came to the dealings of the heart.

"What if she hates me? I mean, I walked in on her dissing our band and then I just k-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa...she doesn't even like our music?!" Nick screeched, backing away from his brother slightly. He didn't mean for his voice to crack but – the girl didn't even like their music and his brother was falling for her...he couldn't understand it all. Joe usually just flirted and moved on, but, he could tell that his brother really took a liking to the girl.

"And she thinks we're kind of girly," Joe grinned, rubbing his forehead slightly. He could feel the shock of his brothers. It was something new to find a girl who was 'in awe' of them. It was exhilarating.

"Yet this girl sparked your interest? Are you insane?! She doesn't even like us!" Nick shouted, abruptly standing from the couch. He ran a stressed hand through his hair. It wasn't that he didn't want his brother to be happy – but, he didn't want Joe to get hurt. The girl didn't even like them as a band or people.

"She...she does! She just doesn't know us! I mean, I could just feel it in the air...I dunno Nick. I just...my curiosity is peaked by her," Joe defended, glaring at his younger brother. He wasn't aware of the tense feeling in the room or Kevins' nervous fidgeting. Nick had no right to attack Lilly – she wasn't even there to defend herself.



"Alright, you guys just calm down...Joe, I'm sure Nick didn't mean what you thought he meant and Nick...I think you should just take a deep breath," Kevin sighed, stepping between the two boys. He was always the peace-maker when it came to the three of them.

"No Kevin...Joe needs to learn that he can't just act on impulse – we're in a band...there's three of us in it. We can't just go off and flirt with a girl and the-"

"So next time you wanna date someone we can get all up in your business?" Joe questioned, eyeing his little brother. They were always fighting lately – nothing seemed to go right between them. Nick was too focused on the 'music and fame' whereas Joe just wanted to have fun. That was the reason they had started the band in the first place; they did it because they loved to make music.

"No...that's not what I mean. You just said that she didn't even like u-"

"She didn't like our music! She was talking on the phone to her friend...just because she's not a fan does that mean I can't d-"

"No! I just don't want you to rush into this bro..." Nick sighed, finally locking eyes with his brother. He only wanted Joe to be happy but, he had a feeling that he couldn't stop the two. Joe seemed to be attached to the girl.

"I'm not rushing Nick...I just...I can't seem to get this one out of my head," he stated, smiling at his little brother. He knew that Nick cared – it was in every word that the boy said. Nick only got emotional when it mattered and it always mattered with events that involved family.

"Fine...just...just give her a call," Nick said, thrusting the boys' phone in his face. He knew he was being silly or immature. He wasn't usually the one that was so 'against' following your heart, but, it was Joe. Joe was careless sometimes and went head-first into things that he had no idea about. He needed to protect his older brother.

"It looks like you've got a message," Kevin observed, seeing the flashing red light. He knew the tension in the room had eased slightly, but, he could still see Nicks' flustered appearance. He wasn't sure what was going on between the brothers but he just struck it down to sibling rivalry.

"Oh! Maybe it's her!" Joe squealed, jumping up and down excitedly. He bit his lip in anticipation as he slowly typed in his password to hear messages. Her voice cut through the silent air.

'Hey uh Joe...Look, I'm really sorry but I can't make it tonight...you see, I had to take care of something at home...I'm so sorry. I really wanted to come too – maybe give you guys a chance to impress me? Hahaha. But look, just...just send me a txt later on because obviously you guys are on stage – if not, I'm not very impressed that you're screening my calls already! Anyway...I hope you have a good concert, and I can't wait to hear from you...Oh, uh, it's Lilly by the way...'



Joe's smile grew and grew as the message continued. He was happy that she hadn't just out right ignored his offer. He was happy that she had actually called him – he wasn't sure what she thought of him. He touched his lips slightly, their kiss coming to the fore-front of his mind. He wanted another one – one with more passion behind it though.

"She sounds nice," Kevin smiled, winking towards his brother. He could see the happiness that Joe portrayed just by hearing the girls voice. He couldn't help but laugh at him – he was so 'Joe' sometimes. The small things were what mattered in the boys heart and it was just the same for the rest of the family.

"She does," Nick nodded, smiling at his older brother that was jumping on the couch. He really was happy. He had known the girl for less than a day and yet, Joe was acting completely in-love.
