Maybe, maybe, maybe you'll find something that's enough to keep you

But if the bright lights don't receive you, you should turn yourself around and come on home.

Joe couldn't sleep at all. He was too excited about calling to get ticket's for Nick's show. He sat on the floor of the room he used to share with Nick, brainstorming how to win Nick back. Finally, at AM when the box office opened, Joe called.

"Tridetta Theater, how can I help you?" a lady's voice asked.

"INEEDTICKETSTONIGHTOSEENICK!!" Joe scream enthusiastically, mashing all his words together as one he was talking so fast.

"Excuse me, sir, what?"

"Sorry, I'm just SO EXCITED!! I need a ticket for tonight's show!"

"I'm sorry, sir, but the tickets for tonight's shoe are sold out."

Noooo! How am I gonna see Nick now? I thought to myself, letting out s cry of hopelessness. "Wha--what?"

"There are no seats left, sir. Would you like to purchase a ticket for another showing?"

"There's gotta be ONE seat left! Please, you don;t understand how much this means to me. Please."

"Let me try again...," said the cheery-disposition ticket master. Joe's spiritual life had pretty much gone gown the gutter, but right then, Joe felt more like praying than he ever had before.

Hey God. I know I haven't exactly been making you happy lately, but please, I love Nick. And I have to show him how sor--"

Joe's prayer was interrupted by the lady's voice, "Well sir, I've found you a seat, but I'm warning you, it's not cheap..."

"I'll take it!" Joe replied without hesitation.

pagebreak. oh yeah. put that in your cocoa.

Joe handed his cab driver a fifty, nodded a thank-you, and hopped out. He stood in awe at his little brother's name up in lights once again. Seeing it there made Joe think of the first time Nick had got a starring role. He had totally freaked out and wouldn't stop smiling for days. It was Joe's fondest memory of Nick (besides all their lovemaking). That was also the first time Joe came to terms with his true feelings for his little brother.

The play ended, and the whole audience gave a standing ovation. Joe even spotted a few girls with some old Jonas Brothers tour shirts. The band had been broken up almost five years ago, right after the "Burning Up" tour ended. But some fans never gave up on them Joe made his way backstage, trying to find Nick's dressing room, having no problems, except having to show security his ID every once in a while to prove he was, indeed, who he said he was. Finally, Joe found a room with a golden plaque hanging on the door,Nick's name etched onto it. Joe stood in front of the door, debating whether to knock or not. He decided against it and walked right in. There in front of him, stood the amazing curly-haired boy he'd been missing for weeks.

"Nick." Joe said just loud enough, it was audible.

"Oh my lord, Joe..What are you doing here?!"

"To do this," Joe lunged at Nick and pulled him into a passionate, fiery kiss. Nick didn't fight the kiss at first, but after a second he pulled away just as quickly as he'd obliged.

"Joe, I left for a reason! I can't handle you and all your bad habits any longer!"

"Nicky, I've changed. Really!! I haven't touched a bottle or gone to a party since you left." Nick was touched, but how did he know Joe wouldn't just turn back to his old ways as soon as he returned home. Plus, he'd just landed a very prestigious, starring role on Broadway. He couldn't just pack up and leave.

"Jay, i can;t go back with you, OK? I have an amazing job out here, a new apartment.." Nick was interrupted by the door opening and a girl squealing. Joe assumed it was a Jonas "superfan" that had somehow managed to get backstage. "Shit." Nick mumbled.

"NICKY!! You were soooooo good out there tonight!! Now clean up; we have dinner reservations at 8 sharp!" Joe was annoyed by the over-bubbly girl who was slightly oblivious to his presence.

"Umm, Nick, who's that?" Joe asked, truly not caring that she was right there.

"Oh, where are my manners??" the girl squeaked again, "I'm Jenny, Nick's girlfriend."
