I'm not very pleased with how this chapter turned out. It was more of a filler so I could lead onto what's going to happen next, but it's a bit disjointed and stuff. Please review anyways, tell me if you like it…. Or hate it.
"Kevin, I'm worried about Nick."
"You too huh? I thought I was the only one who gave a second thought to him leaving the house."
"Hey I may not act like it, but I do care you know. He is my brother. Plus, there is no real reason for us to be worried, we technically don't know if Nick went to see… her."
"Joe, who are you kidding. He's been in his room for the last I don't know how many days, and even I could recognise the cursive writing on that envelope as Miley's. There has to be something important going on if he ran out on us like that."
"Why couldn't Miley just leave us alone? We were finally doing fine as a band and even Nick's love life was looking up. Then she sends him another letter? What is that girl trying to do, break our little brother's heart?"
Just as Joe finished his sentence the house phone began ringing. With it being so late at night neither brother could make a guess at who it could be, so Kevin stood up from his place in the living room, and made it to the table in the hallway.
"Hello? Kevin Jonas speaking."
"Kev! Thank God it's you. I was scared Frankie would pick up or something," the voice on the other end blurted out.
"Woah, woah, woah, slow down Nick. What's going on? And where are you, me and Joe are starting to worry."
"You guys have to come quick. Just you and Joe, don't bring anyone else."
"Come where Nick? You're starting to freak me out."
By this point Joe had made his way over to Kevin who was clearly anxious at what the person on the other end was saying.
"You guys need to come to Miley's. She's worrying me guys. This is the first time I don't know what to do! You have to help."
Kevin took the phone away from the side of his face, and let Joe know that he was right about Nick being at Miley's.
"How do you expect us to get in Nick? There's a code for her gate you know. Wait how did you manage to get in without being caught?" He said as he placed the phone next to his ear again.
"There's no time. I'll explain in a minute. She's asleep now, but I need you two to be here when she wakes up," Nick said urgently.
"I don't know Nick. This girl has caused a lot of problems for us recently. You shouldn't be there either, don't you remember what she did to you?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone. "Please Kev. Just come."
Hearing the sadness laced into Nick's voice, Kevin ended the call, and told Joe the news.
"Oh hell no! There is no way I'm going back to that girl's house. She ruined everything!"
"Joe, come on. If Nick called that must mean something is actually wrong."
On that note, both brothers left their house, albeit Joe leaving reluctantly, writing a quick note to their parents telling them they had gone to the store and didn't know when they would be back. The short walk was made longer by the fact that Joe was stubborn and not to happy about the fact that he would be seeing his old best friend. As the pair made it to Miley's house they were shocked to find the gates jammed open with a large rock taken from the decorative garden, but slipped through the gap, removing the rock as they passed. The could see a silhouette facing towards them from the room they knew to be Miley's after countless visits to her house.
Flashback
"Guys, I'm worried. me and Miley are just beginning to get serious. I don't want to ruin our relationship by pulling this prank!" Nick told his brothers.
"Oh quit being a baby. She won't get angry, and if she does just blame it on us," Joe reasoned.
"He don't bring me into this. We both know that you're the mastermind behind all these ideas Joe," Kevin replied.
"Well why are you here then Kevin?"
"Oh stop arguing you two, let just get this over and done with," Nick responded.
The group ran across the lawn in the summers heat, and could hear the music blaring from Miley's room, alerting them that they might have the chance of getting in without being heard. Passing the equipment which would be used for the prank to Kevin, Joe was the first of the brothers to climb onto the terraced area below Miley's room. After a few minutes and a few choice words aimed at the house, the brothers made it to the balcony. The curtains to the room were open, and the each peered in, hoping that no one was in the room. They were in luck, so reaching up, Nick retrieved the key left in the basket and prised the door open.
"Ok, Kevin. You go sort out her bathroom and Nick and I will stay in here to change everything around and steal her clothes."
However, before any of the brothers could move, they heard a loud gasp from the door and hesitantly looked up to see an angry faced Miley staring back at them.
"Busted," Joe replied with a guilt-filled expression on his face.
"What the heck are you guys doing here in my room? Come on get out!"
"Damn, we didn't think you would come in this soon!" Kevin joked, trying to ease the tension which now filled the room.
"Hey baby, how are you," Nick stuttered as he made his way over to his girlfriend.
"Ha, no chance," Miley said as she stepped back, " you ain't getting anything fro me today bub."
"Aww guys! Look what you did!"
"Now you can all just get out of my house now, ad next time you think about pulling a prank? Don't."
With that the brothers left the house in which they would spend a lot of time in over the coming years.
The boys made their way over to the silhouette, which turned out to be Nick, and followed him into the house leading up to Miley's room. Breaking the silence Kevin murmured, "Is she still asleep?"
"Yeah, and there's something I need to show you guys," Nick replied.
The tiptoed into the room to see a figure curled up on top of the bed sheets covered in Nick's jacket. Nick made hi way across the room to the couch that stood next to the window. On the couch there was the box which Miley had pulled from beneath her bed only half and hour ago.
"Nick, wait. Before you show us anything or whatever, can you please tell us what's going on?" Joe asked bravely.
"When I left the house earlier I came to Miley's and we argued, and I apologised for breaking her heart-"
"Hey, slow down a minute there buddy. What do you mean YOU apologised. She was the one that sent you those photos, she was the one that told the whole world you were dating and most of all SHE was the one that threw your relationship away like it meant nothing to her after two years," Joe reasoned.
Just as Nick had said earlier that night he repeated, "You're wrong you know. I was the one that ended things, Miley never even broke my heart, but I broke hers."
"You told us she ended things, and that you never wanted to see her again."
"I lied."
"Why Nick? Did you think we'd take her side or something? You're still our brother you know, we'd care for you over her."
"Joe stop it," Kevin whispered.
"Thanks Kev,"
"No Nick. Don't say anything. You made me believe that she was the bad one in all of this, (AN: could you imagine if this was really true!!??) and I immediately took your side. I was a friend of Miley's for three years Nick; she was like a little sister to me. But you thought it would be ok just to make it seem that you had come out of this more hurt and she was ok with it, when in actual fact she was so broken that it led her to this," he said pointing to the girl still asleep. "And she didn't even put ANY of the blame on you in that magazine article! She said it was both of your faults, but she protected you. That made ME protect YOU by wearing that stupid shirt, knowing that it would hurt her as much as she hurt you. I can believe you would do this! She had done so much for us and you just lied to make yourself look like the good guy!" By this point Kevin's voice had gotten louder, and both Nick and Joe were scared of waking up the sleeping girl only feet away from them.
"Kevin, can you quieten down please? I'm sorry, you of all people know I didn't want to end it with her. I was, am, in love with her, but I guess that I did just want to be the good guy too much. I just want to forget about it anyway. She accepted my apology and I think we're together again now."
"Unbelievable," Kevin said.
"Oh shut up, both of you. Nick what did you bring us here for? We could've argued back at home." Joe said.
"I wanted to show you this." Nick motioned for them to take a seat on the carpet, as he brought the box over to where they were previously standing. Slowly tipping the box over, the two older brothers watched as photo upon photo fell out. After a minute or so, the objects which lay in the box had created a large mound on the floor, all brothers just watched in amazement.
Joe was the first to lean forward and pick up the piece of paper on the top of the pile. He turned it over, and there sat the loopsy cursive writing of Miley. On the page was written:
'Got back from the studio today after running into Selena, boy, that girl make my blood boil, and you'll never guess what I found on the gates to my house. Someone had taped the picture of Kevin wearing the team Demi and Selena shirt onto the wood, and they had written underneath, 'who else is there left for you now Miley! Looks like they've all left you.' I don't even know why he wore the shirt. People are saying that it's because of the bowling team, but I don't agree. I mean, could he make it any more obvious? Blood is thicker than water, yada yada yada, but come on! Three years of friendship for nothing! I'm angrier than I am upset right now. Some friends they turned out to be.'
"Shit. I didn't know she felt that way," Joe whispered shocked.
The brothers continued to move through the pile as they came across magazine articles with the titles 'Oops, she did it again. Is little Miley going to pull a Britney?" and 'Nelena confirmed by accident- I guess he did catch the Lovebug again'
There were also all of the photos that her hacker had leaked, yet they had the words 'slut' or 'no longer Nick's girl' graffitied all over them. Feeling slightly awkward Kevin put down these photos as picked up the next on the pile. Her lyrics surrounded a picture of Nick, whose face had been scribbled out with a black marker pen. There had to be hundreds of photos, magazine article or song lyrics in the pile, each of which were doodled on somehow by Miley herself.
Not one of the brothers did not have tears running down his face as they saw how they had managed to break this girl down to someone so insecure with herself. Frankly, they were ashamed with themselves.
"Do you understand it now," a whisper was heard from the lips of the person that was troubled the most. All three boys put the papers down and turned to face the girl who was now sat up in bed.
Ok, so quite a long chapter. Like I said, not really sure of the content or whatever, but I know where I want to take the story, and next chapter there will be:
A confrontation
A kiss
Tears
And a whole bunch of sorrys.
But review, and tell me what you think.
Thanks, Zoe
