Chapter 4: Promises are Broken

Jonaslvr13: Katherine, no…no…no…

Jonaschica16: Megan, he apologized. I forgave him.

Jonaslvr13: Wait, but what about Joe?

Jonaschica16: Megan, that's a crush. There no way that he could like me.

Jonaslvr13: But if he did…would you dump that loser of a boyfriend?

Jonaschica16: Megan…

Jonaslvr13: Katherine…why do you like him?

Jonaschica16: I…I don't know.

Jonaslvr13: Katherine! If you don't like him then why are you with him?

Jonaschica16: Megan…I don't know. Just stop.

Jonaslvr13: Katherine! He's going to break your heart again and…

Jonaschica16: Megan, who else do I have?

Jonaslvr13: Joe!

Jonaschica16: Joe? Joe doesn't like me!

Jonaslvr13: Yes he does! He told me. Now dump James and…

Oops, did I just tell Katherine that Joe liked her. Crud, if Joe found out, I was dead.

Jonaschica16: JOE LIKES ME?

Jonaslvr13: Katherine, I swear if you tell him that I told you…

Jonaslvr16: He just got online. Should I talk to him?

Jonaslvr13: If you must, but don't you dare say ANYTHING about this conversation.

I closed my laptop and screamed into my pillow. "I cannot believe I did that," I said outloud.

"Did what?" I looked over at the door and saw Nick there.

"Nothing," I said.

"Megan, I'm not stupid," Nick said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "What's wrong?"

"I…just told Katherine that Joe likes her…"

"You WHAT?" Nick yelled.

"SHHH!" I whispered. "If Joe finds out, I'm dead. Nick please, I know he's your brothers but please don't tell him that I told Katherine."

Nick looked like he was considering it. "OK," he finally said.

"Thank you," I said, giving him a hug. "I love you."

"Why, just because I lie for you?" he asked. I gave him a weird look. "I'm kidding."

I got out of bed and Nick and I went downstairs to eat breakfast. Joe was sitting on the kitchen table, smiling as he was typing on his laptop. Nick looked at me and smiled. "Who are you talking too, Joe?" he asked.

"Katherine, why?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Will you butt out of my personal life?" Joe asked.

"O, so Katherine's in your personal life now?" Nick asked.

Joe just glared at him. "Fine," he said. "I might have a little crush on Katherine, but it doesn't matter because she's back with James."

"Wait, she told you she was back with James?" I asked him.

"Katherine's back with James?" Nick asked.

"Katherine told you that she was back with James?" Joe asked me.

"Yes…" I said.

"But she said she was thinking about breaking up with him. Why would she say that unless…" Joe started to saw. He suddenly understood. "MEGAN SMITH I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU!" I screamed and ran up the steps. Joe followed me. Nick followed Joe. I ran into the guest room and closed the door. "MEGAN! WHY DID YOU TELL KATHERINE THAT I LIKE HER? I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"Joe, what's going on?" I heard Kevin say on the other side of the door. Joe was trying to break down the door and I had to use all of my strength to keep him from getting in. Joe stopped trying to open it for a second so I thought he gave up but I was wrong. I let go of the door and he barged in. Nick was right behind him. I was running for the closet when I tripped and landed on the bed. Joe was about to jump on me when Nick pushed him out of the way.

"Don't you dare kill my girlfriend!" he yelled. An awestruck Kevin was standing in the doorway.

"Umm, whose side should I be on?" he asked no one in particular.

"Megan just told Katherine that I like her!" Joe yelled.

"MEGAN! How could you tell Katherine a lie like that!" Kevin yelled.

"It wasn't' a lie," Nick said. "He totally drools over her 24/7!"

Now Joe turned to attack Nick. Luckily Mr. Jonas walked into the room just then. "What is going on here?!?" he yelled.

I gave Joe the evil eye meaning if he told his dad what happened I would murder him. "Nothing. We're playing an intense game of duck duck goose. Would you like to join us?"

"Umm, I'm actually busy. Maybe another time," he said and left the room. Immediately after he left, Joe grunted and stormed out of the room. I was still laying on the bed, petrified. Nick looked over at me and laughed.

"So, what's the master plan for today?" I asked him.

Nick shrugged. "It's a surprise."
