The rest of that day was the same and the rest of that week was pretty much the same as well. Saturday Gappy and I were invited over to celebrate Joe's birthday. We meet the rest of Nick's family there.
Kevin was the eldest out of the four. Then Joe then Nick and then Frankie or also known as the Bonus Jonas. Denise, their mum and Paul, their dad, were both pretty cool. They were proud of their sons to get that far in a world like this.
Gappy and I wished Joe a happy birthday and Gappy continued to talk to him. We got given a peice of cake andd told to talk to anyone of them. It was really odd but cool.
"So, Gappy, that's an unusal name," Denise said.
"Oh, no that's my nickname," Gappy replied laughing slightly "My name is Gaybreelle. My family doesn't like the name Gabby and my initials spell G.A.P so Gappy was easy to come up with."
"That makes more sense." Denise said.
"Ashlee," Nick called me and gestured me to go towards him.
I walked over to him.
"Okay, you have to keep this a secret," Nick started "I assumed that Gappy likes William Beckett for The Academy is... right?"
I nodded.
"Well, I pulled a few strings and," Nick made a dramatic pause "I got him to do some study over here but it came with a few strings attached. One, I can't tell her he's coming over. Two, he won't be here until her birthday. And three, he's bringing the rest of his band along."
"No way," I said "And he's coming to study at our school?"
"Yup," Nick replied grinning. "Aren't I an awesome friend?"
"She's going to be ecstatic then," I said "What about the rest of the band?"
"Um, I don't know I think they might be as well." Nick answered.
I turned to leave but he grabbed my arm. "Um, I-" Nick was cut off by the sound of the doorbell.
We turned to see who had just came through the door. I could not believe it. She walked tall and straight towards us.
"Hey, Miley," Nick said, avoiding her eyes actually avoiding to look at her.
"Hey," She returned cheery as ever.
"I thought you were on tour." Nick said, this time looking at her.
"Oh, I am," Miley smiled "But I couldn't just stop here and not say happy birthday to Joe."
Yes you could, I thought to myself. I crossed my arms.
"Oh, Hey," Miley finally noticed me standing between them. "I'm Miley."
"I'm Ashlee." I replied.
Gappy recovered from her shock and some other emotion and walked over. She stood next to me slipping on a smiley face that didn't reach her eyes. Miley looked at her up and down.
"Joe's not over here," Gappy said and then point in the direction he was in "He's over there. I'll take you to him if you can't see him."
Miley smiled, "No. It's okay I'll go to him myself."
Miley walked away and gave one glance back. She gave Joe a happy birthday and a hug and then was asked to stay be his mother.
"Did I help?" Gappy asked hopefully.
"Yes, and no." Nick answered. "Thanks for trying though. She'll probably end up being here until you pair go home."
"Okay, well, you two go on with your conversation," Gappy said smiling and wandered off to Joe.
"So, what were yo saying?" I asked turning back around to him.
"Oh, um, nothing" Nick answered. "How about we go back with the rest of the group."
"Sure," I said even though I wanted to know what he was going to say.
We trailed back to the group and I listened to each conversation that was going on at one time. Miley was trying to talk to Joe but decided it was easier just to give up on that because him and Gappy kept talking about all sorts of different video games I have never heard, recommending different video games and movies. I don't know how movies entangled their way into the conversation but I didn't really care.
Miley walked over here to where Nick and I were standing having a conversation about funny stories that happened in our life. I saw Gappy roll her eyes when she saw Miley making her way over to me and Nick. Got to be happy to have a friend that will say anything and not feel regret.
Kevin walked out of the house and drifted his way into our conversation. "You know, Nick falls really hard?"
I looked at Kevin in confusion and then straight to Gappy who was trying not to laugh since it did sound sort of sus and her mind is really. . . disturbing in a way. It didn't work. She ended up laughing and getting weird looks from their family plus Miley.
"I'm sorry," she said after a moment of her fit, "Go on with your conversations."
"Yeah, um anyway," Kevin started again "Nick falls for someone really hard and then he gets turned down."
That there just earned Kevin a punch in the arm "Dude, shut up."
"Sorry," he said raising his hands "It's the truth."
"It's okay," I said "I do the same thing."
"Yep, she sure does," Gappy swung into the conversation. She put an arm on my shoulder. "I know because I've seen it many a times."
"Are you high?" I asked Gappy giving her a sidelong look.
"Maybe," She answered then laughed "No, I'm not high." she muttered the rest of her sentence.
Gappy grabbed her mobile out of her pocket. "Oh, crap, we have to leave."
"Why?" I asked.
"It's like five o'clock and we had to be somewhere else tonight remember." She answered "At that place doing that thing."
I looked at her. "Yeah, lets go and I'll pretend that I remember. See ya at school on Monday, Nick. Bye everyone."
"Bye, peoples." Gappy said dragging me out of the house and down on the street.
"So where are we going?" I asked looking at her.
Gappy shrugged "No where. I just wanted to get out."
