Hi guys, back with yet another chapter! Joe has found out her secret. DUN DUN DUNNN~ But yeah, hope you guys enjoy!


CHAPTER 7:

I gasped and my eyes widened. I reached up to touch his shoulder but he only stepped back angrily. "Joe wait, you don't understand!"

He scoffed. "Understand what? That you lied to everyone, and that you're actually a girl?" He raised his voice. I freaked out looking left and right, just in case someone heard. That's when I slapped my hand onto his mouth dragging him into a room. "Talk to you later Zac!" I yelled over my shoulder.

Joe was yelling into my hand and squirming, trying to make me let go. When we got into the room he practically threw me off of him. "Don't touch me." His face darkened into a glare.

I sighed. "Listen Joe I didn't mean to lie, but I had to get in here."

He rolled his eyes not caring for my reasons. "What you lied just so you could see your boyfriend out there?" I scrunched my face in horrid. "Ew, no. Zac isn't my boyfriend."

"I knew it." He narrowed his eyes at me. "You're just like the rest of them. You're one of those crazed fans that would do anything to see me right? This is exactly why we stopped with the Jonas Brothers." He was extremely angry by now. He was slowly walking towards me, causing me to back up into a wall.

"The Jonas what?" I said confused. For a second the anger in his face was replaced with surprise, but then almost immediately returned. "Don't act like you don't know."

I shook my head slowly. "I honestly don't know what you're talking about." He stepped back and laughed without any humor. He turned to face the window behind him. When he turned back around hurt was apparent on his face. In an almost whisper he said, "Just like everyone else, you're a fucking liar."

I gulped. Just like before I felt my body go numb from yet another side of him I had never seen. Using all the strength I could in my body I pushed myself off of the wall and walked towards him. "Listen Joe I never meant to lie to you, or for that matter anyone. I'm not sure what you were talking about before, but the reason I'm here had nothing to do with you. I came here to find Zac, and Zac is my brother." I was looking down, and my voice was soft in hopes that he would calm down.

"Well then," his voice was as soft as mine. He walked towards me and placed one hand on my hip, and the other around my neck. I shivered under his touch. He lowered his head down next to my ear. My heart was pounding loudly I was almost afraid he would be able to hear it. "now that you've found him, get the fuck out of here." As soon as he said it, he pulled back abruptly. He went back to staring out the window. I felt my entire face go hot, and redden still staring at the ground. No other words were exchanged and just like before there was a silence. However, it wasn't so comfortable like it was with Zac. Suddenly he turned on his heel and left the room slamming the door behind him. I was left standing in the middle of the room still red as a tomato.


When I finally composed myself I left the room making sure no one was looking. Reaching the main hall again, I found that a lot of people were staring at me. Did Joe tell my secret? I knew he was mad, but I didn't know he'd be this mad to tell everyone. I tried looking down to avoid the stares, but that's when I noticed that I was still in my P.E. clothes. I just wanted to punch myself in the face. I've only started school for one day, and I've already managed to expose my actual gender, and embarrass myself in front of the entire school.

I sped to the locker rooms and took out my normal uniform. When no one was looking I quickly made my way to the closet again to change.

I was putting on my shirt almost finished changing, then there was a knock on the door. I stiffened. I wasn't sure whether or not I should reply.

"Daniel, you in here?"

I relaxed again, when I realized it was just Nick. "Yeah I'm in here. Out in a sec." I quickly put the rest of my clothing on and stepped out. He was standing in front of the door smiling.

"Did you need something?" I slipped on my backpack and straightened my hair.

"Yup, I needed you." I looked at him strangely. He then put his arm around my shoulder and started walking down the hall.

"Where are we going?" I said starting to get impatient. Instead he completely ignored my question.

"How good are you at drinking?"

"I don't really drink much, so not very good I guess? Just as we stopped in front of a bar I had never seen, he removed his arm from around my shoulder.

"Well, then. This ought to be interesting."

We stepped into the bar. Inside it was incredibly beautiful. It was dark, but still had enough light to see. There were booths on both side of the bar, and right in the middle was a section for the bartender to serve drinks.

"This way." Nick caught my attention again and lead me to the back of the room to a booth. When there I noticed that Kevin and Joe were already seated.

"I'm back guys, and this time I brought our little friend." When they looked up to notice our presence, I saw Joe's face darken. He took a swing from his drink and looked the other way.

"Oh hey Daniel, sit down man." Kevin said. However when he did, Joe from his corner scoffed. I swallowed nervously.

Kevin tilted his head in his direction questionably. "Something wrong Joe?" He turned and locked eyes with me just as I sat down. "Not really. It's just that someone's been an eyesore for me lately."

I bit my lip breaking the connection. This was going to be a long night.

After a minute or 2, a waitress came to our table. "What can I get for you guys tonight?" She had long brown hair, slight makeup, and a genuine smile. She was really pretty.'

"To start off, we'll have 4 shots of your strongest stuff." Nick said. She raised her brow. "To start off?" He chuckled and nodded. She clicked her tongue. "Okay, be back in a second." She disappeared to the bar.

I turned to face Nick. "Um, I don't really drink. But you guys can." He smirked. "I don't think so Larson. This is punishment for leaving Kevin and I earlier."

I sighed. When our waitress came back she placed them down, and left to another table. Kevin smiled. "Alright, everyone ready? On 3." He passed out our drinks. "1...2...3!"

When he said 3, I gulped down the shot. As soon as it went down I started coughing and made a disgusted face. "Gross." I softly said. Kevin and Nick bursted out laughing, and although Joe didn't want to show it he had a small smile. When I looked up again I noticed that none of them drank their drink. I narrowed my eyes and exhaled. "You guys tricked me."

"Sorry, dude it's a little tradition of ours." Nick said while patting my back. I closed my eyes and leaned back against the booth.

"Here have a some water to wash it down a little." Kevin said and handed me a cup. Sitting up properly again, I tilted the cup back into my mouth. Halfway down the cup I realized it was more alcohol. I threw the cup away from my mouth and made another face. A sound unhuman like slipped from my mouth as I dropped my head to the table.

Again, they both started laughing at me. "Oh man, when you said you weren't good at drinking you weren't lying." Nick said still laughing. The rest of the night was a blur. It was followed by more drinking to the point where I could barely open my eyes. I was laughing at the tiniest things, and most of my words were slurred.

"A-Another dri-ink." I laughed while reaching for a bottle. However when I realized I grabbed a bottle of hot sauce from on the table I started laughing even louder along with Kevin and Nick. From where I was I saw Joe roll his eyes slightly.

"Alright, I think it's time I get Daniel back to our room." Joe said getting out of the booth.

They both nodded. "Yeah that would be a good idea." Nick said standing up so that I could get out. I slowly made my way out of the booth and tried to stand up. But when I did, I started tipping over beginning to fall. Joe caught me just before I did. "Idiot why did you drink so much." He said almost as a statement. I just smiled my eyes still closed.

He stood me up again and put one of my arms around his shoulders, and his arm around my waist hoisting me up.

"See you guys later." Joe said.

The light from the outside hit my face, and I flinched causing Joe to sigh. "Can't you just stay still?" From the tone of his voice, he was kind of irritated.

"Sorry..." I mumbled.

We made our way back to our room and stumbled in. Not bothering to turn on the light Joe dropped me onto my bed. When I sat back up again, he groaned.

"Daniel, Demi, whoever the hell you are go to sleep." He said in frustration. I giggled before exhaling loudly. "I-I want s-ssome water..." I started getting out of the bed.

"After that all that drinking, you're still thirsty. Jesus. Just stay still I'll get you some water." He turned heading toward a small fridge in our room. But before he could I grabbed his shirt ready to protest, insisting he's done enough already.

I then lost my balance, and Joe quickly turned to catch me. We both went falling to the ground. The last thing I remembered before going unconscious was lying on top of Joe in his arms.
