So I just wanted to say thankyou to all the reviewers - you'll have been really great in helping me to continue with the story...
Talita-Michelle : I really like the loe moments in the last chapter aswell - except for the ending...it was kinda rushed but I'm glad to know you enjoyed it. There will be alot of Lilly hanging out with Nick, Kevin and Ryan in the next couple of chapters...Joe will be with her though as well so they may have a few moments put in aswell. I'm excited that someone else likes the Ryan/Lilly friendship aswell - I read a story where she was his sister and I think it just kinda makes sense...alittle...lols. But please continue to review and if you have any ideas, put them through as well... :)
Stylin'Fire : Heya, thanks for the review on the last chapter - it's cool to know that someone also likes my writing style lols. Sometimes I feel I over describe stuff though...if you thinks so put it in the review (If you review more that is lols) and I'll see what I can do about it. If you have any ideas also put them through...I have one big dramatic even coming up, but, I'm not sure what to do before that...?
MyJonasSensesAreTingling3 : THANKS for your latest review, I really like the last chapter as well aye - it kinda made sense of all the 'loeness' sorta...maybe? Anyway, I just hope you continue to read and review because I love to hear feedback - preferably nice feedback lols. If you have any ideas put them through and I'll see what I can do about intergrating them in...? Do you think that's a good idea? If not, say in the next review...if you continue to review (please do...) lols. Thankyou for your support... :)
Swim4Life : I'm sorry that you get frustrated about the slowness of updating but I am trying to get them up and written as soon as possible - sometimes I lose my train of thought and I'd write a chapter but it's deeper into the series...I've already written a chapter with the main focus of drama for the story - I'm real excited to put it up lols. To answer your question about the Niley aspect...yes, I'm thinking of putting abit of it in...Kevin will also find some love - those aspects of the two boys lives will be in individual chapters completely dedicated to them. But, it won't be until later on - I want to get Lilly closer to the boys' before introducing them to Miley and Kevins' 'love.' Please continue to read and review and if you have any ideas, put them through and I'll see what I can do... :)
luv me xoxo GossipGal : Yeah, I was wanting Oliver and Joe to seem kind of alike - because they both seem to be goofballs lol. I was reading alittle bit more about the brothers - just to get a judge of character and I've realised that Joe's alittle bit out of character maybe...? I dunno. Oh well lol...hopefully you continue to read and review and if you have ideas just put them through lols...
LittleMissObsessive15 : Thanks for the compliment on my writing style, I didn't think any paid that much attention to it lols...I also love getting your reviews - I think you're the most regular reviewer and I love that!! :) Thankyou so much for continuing to read and review - I love hearing what people have to say about my story :) If you have any ideas about how to enhance the story just say it in the reviews! LoLs :)
On with the story...
"Lilly...Lilly! Relax, take a breath and start again," Ryan sighed, looking towards the girl curiously. She had burst through the doors and let out a squeal of happiness – something must of happened.
"I...Joe Jonas just asked me out!" she squealed, clapping delightedly before her. She couldn't stop the squeals. She had just left the boys' to get ready – Nick had invited her and Ryan to go to the concert. He said that she needed to be there.
"So the boy grew some huh?" he grinned, winking towards the girl. He could see the blush appear on her cheeks and laughed loudly. She was always shy when it came to her personal life and he wondered if she knew what it meant to be dating a rockstar – she'd be hunted by the media.
"Ryan..." she scolded, punching the boy on the shoulder. She could feel the heat on her face and knew she was blushing madly. She couldn't help that she was shy about who she liked – she was always a private person when it came to that.
"I'm sorry Sparks...but, good for you," he cheered half-heartedly, biting his lip. He knew that it her new 'relationship' with Joe would result in her not having that much time to spend with him. He remembered when they had first started going out – they couldn't stay away from each other. He just hoped she would have enough time to spend some time with him.
"You know Specks...they invited us to go to their concert tonight," she smirked, eyeing the boy. She knew what he was thinking – she was thinking the same thing. She could already feel herself missing Joe but she knew that she and Ryan needed some time together. They had hardly seen each other for 6 months and he had come all the way to Malibu to see her – he deserved to spend some time with her.
"You mean...an arena filly with screaming girls?" he questioned, widening his eyes. He wasn't too sure if he could handle all the screaming fans – even if they weren't for him.
"How's that different from your skate-park tours?" she retorted, raising an eye-brow in question. She knew he was hesitant; she could see it in his eyes but, she wanted to be there for the boys. It was the second she had been personally invited and she couldn't not go.
"Yeah okay..." he mumbled, turning away to get ready. He could never seem to deny the girl anything – she had a power over him. He didn't want to see the girl upset anymore; he had caused her to cry too many times. He would do this one thing for her and she'd be happy. He was more than willing to have the girl smile.
"Thanks!" she screamed, hugging the boy tightly. She could see his reluctance but she knew he'd do it in the end. He would always give in to her – it was one of her talents. She felt slightly guilty for not inviting Oliver but, she wanted to spend time with Ryan. They could hang out during the show and then all four of them could hang out afterwards. She enjoyed spending time with the brothers.
"Pumped for the show bro?" Kevin asked, looking towards Joe. He could see the boy fidgeting and he remembered the boys' nervous habit. He wasn't sure why Joe was nervous – he never usually was. He was such an energetic boy that he thrived when they played; it was as if he was made for the stage.
"Lillys' going to be here," he mumbled, looking down shyly. He was nervous to play infront of her – he knew she didn't like their music. She had made it clear the first day he met her. He just wanted her to like that band – he just wanted her to like him.
"You're nervous to play infront of a girl?" Nick questioned, looking at his brother carefully. He could see the nervousness in the boys' eyes and he was wondering why – Joe was always the confident one. He played infront of millions of girls' yet this one reduced him to a nervous-wreck; he'd have to remember that when it wasn't so important to be on-stage.
"She's different Nicky..." he answered, turning his gaze to meet his brothers. He wanted them to understand that he just wanted the girl to have a good time. She had never been to one of their concerts and he knew she would be curious as to what it was like. He was nervous to see her in the crowd; he wasn't sure if he'd be up for it.
"Bro...take a breath...that girl is completely in awe of you – I don't think you could do anything wrong even if you tried too," Kevin laughed, placing a hand on his younger brothers' shoulder. He needed to ease the tension in Joe or else the boy would be a mess all night. He didn't think Lilly would cause such an affect.
"Yeah Joey – just focus on us...it'll be okay," Nick smiled, nodding towards the boy. He was curious as to what it was about the girl to cause such a difference in Joe – he felt the need to get to know the girl. He had tried before but Joe had interrupted; he had somehow sensed that the girl was there.
"I dunno guys...I mean, she doesn't even like our music! What if she doesn't like the concert?!" he exclaimed, slumping onto the couch. They still had an hour before the crowd started to fill and their sound-check had been flawless. They were just relaxing and waiting to be called upon – he wasn't sure his nerves could handle the pressure.
"Joe...that's fine if she doesn't enjoy the concert – what matters is if she likes you...I mean, you were curious about her because she didn't fall at your feet like every other girl...just breathe," Kevin stated, shaking the boy lightly. He could see the sheer panic in his brothers' eyes and just hoped the girl got there soon. He had a feeling she was the only one that could calm the boys' nerves.
"You just...you weren't...I want her...I c-"
"Spit it out!" Nick shouted, stomping his foot slightly. He was getting impatient with the stumbling boy and couldn't help but to build the tension. He was alittle scared to see Joe in such a state – he was always the calm, goofy one. He wasn't sure what to make of him being so affected by just a single girl.
"Our music is a big part of me...how can she not like a part of me?" he whispered, gazing helplessly at his brothers. He knew they weren't used to seeing him so vulnerable; he wasn't exactly sure why he was acting that way. But, the girl seemed to push him to the edge on all his fears.
"I haven't even seen that part of you," a voice called from the shadows, stepping into the light. She wasn't aware that her 'dislike' of their music would cause such damage. She could see him crumbling slightly at the thought. She shyly smiled at the other two boys as they took a step back to give them some privacy.
"In the music store..." he trailed off, gazing at the girl with confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand what she was saying – he had heard the insults before. He thought she had heard their music and atleast given them a chance to show her what they could do.
"In the music store I was just ranting...to be honest, I haven't even heard a single piece of your music – well, except Camp Rock but, that's a different story," she shrugged, taking a step closer to the slumped boy. She knew she didn't have much time – Ryan was waiting in the crowd and she could hear the shouts of his name. He was probably getting mobbed by the fans of the brothers and she said she'd protect him – she'd have to leave soon.
"So you judged by just a glance?" he asked, raising an eye-brow at the girl. He wasn't aware she was so judgemental. He thought she'd atleast take the step to know abit more about the person before leaping into what she thought they were.
"No...I judged by my opinion. I had heard all about you all...my best-friend is a fan – I just...I dunno what I was thinking," she sighed, running a tired hand through her hair. She knew the question would be asked sooner or later but, she didn't expect it to be so sudden. She didn't think her words would affect him so thoroughly – she didn't think she was that important to him.
"What...what if you don't like that part of me?" he questioned, his voice almost silent. He reached out to her – pulling her towards him more insistently. He needed to make sure she was actually there; she was his lifeline at the moment. He was confused and helpless – looking towards her for an answer.
She knelt in-between him legs, bending her head to catch his fallen gaze. She smiled shyly as he returned her gaze and reached out to graze his cheek. She could see that he needed to be re-assured for some reason and he was looking towards her for the answer. "You don't have to be afraid to show me who you are...we all have pieces of ourselves that we're all scared to show..." she murmured, dropping her hand. She didn't realise it was such a feat for the boy – she had heard all about his performances. He was everywhere and anywhere on the stage and the crowd absolutely loved him. She knew that he shouldn't be afraid.
"I'm just...I'm nervous..." he responded, smiling slightly at the girl before him. Her presence was slowly soothing his nerves and her words made him smile. She was comforting him and she didn't appear to know it at all. He knew it was strange – they were acting as if it was the end of the world but, to him, it felt like that. He felt that if she didn't like his music – there was no way they could continue their 'friendship.' He couldn't do half and half; he needed them all.
"You've got no reason to be Joe...I know you perform so well with your brothers," she smiled, patting his knee gently. Her gaze lingered on chest – the red silk wreaking havocs on her senses. She wasn't sure if she could last the rest of the concert without touching him. She knew she had to be strong for him – he was leaning on her for support.
He leant his forehead against hers in thanks – closing his eyes to take in the moment. It was moments like these that he loved; just being able to feel and bask in the glory of it. He breathed deep, inhaling her scent and remembering it well – it would comfort him throughout the performance.
"Joe! We've gotta go..." Nick interrupting, looking down shyly. He didn't want to interrupt – he could see his brother was having a 'moment,' but, they were needed on stage. The arena was full and they were waiting on the brothers.
"Goodluck," she smiled, standing up and pulling him with her. She needed to get back to Ryan and watch the show. She just hoped he was going to have a good show – she didn't want her presence to ruin it. She didn't think he'd be nervous about performing infront of her at all; he performed infront of millions of people.
"Thankyou..." he murmured, stroking her cheek gently. He wasn't sure if she was ready for what he had in mind for them – but, he had to take a chance. He wasn't willing to let the girl go just yet. She made him nervous for all the right reasons and he loved that.
"Joe, we really have to go..." Kevin insisted, pulling the boy away. He sent an apologetic look towards Lilly and quickly pushed the boy on-stage. He heard the crowd 'go wild' and shook his head ruefully – he hoped Joe would be his normal self again.
"How come you took so long to get back?" Ryan asked, walking with her backstage. He had to admit that the concert was awesome – minus the fans that mobbed him. The three brothers' were naturals on stage and he could tell that they all enjoyed what they did. They wore the same expression he did whenever he was skating.
"Crises," she shrugged, looking wildly around for the three brothers. She wanted to thank them for the invitation and make sure Joe was okay. He performed great and she blushed everytime he sent a look her way. She wasn't quite used to all his attentions yet.
"They were great," he nodded, letting her leave the topic silent. He knew she didn't want to talk about it; he remembered her dialogue well. He could still feel the slightly awkward air around the both of them but it was slowly disappearing – they were slowly becoming friends again.
"They were funny too...I wasn't aware that they were that 'into' their audiences," she mumbled, looking towards her friend. She thanked him silently for letting her leave the 'crises' silent – she still wasn't quite sure what to make of it. She had never known anyone to be afraid to show who they were; it was a difficult feeling to process.
"You're just jealous that Joe sung that love song to that girl," he smirked, nudging her with his shoulder. He remembered her tense posture as soon as the girl got up on stage – he laughed slightly as he remembered her face. She was insanely jealous as Joe gripped the girls' hand tightly and pulled her in for a hug. He wouldn't let the girl live it down.
"Shut up," she grumbled, crossing her arms indignantly. She knew it was all in the performance of the song but, she couldn't help the jealousy that coursed through her veins when she saw the two hugging. She wasn't expecting that to happen.
"Hey! Hey guys!" Nick shouted, waving frantically to get their attention. He ran to catch up with them, looking behind him to make sure he had lost all the fans. They had just been signing when a couple of girls' got a little over-zealous and were continuing to follow the group around.
"Hey Nick...you were great!" Lilly squealed, jumping into the boys' arms. She immediately pulled back when she realised what she had done – blushing furiously. She barely knew the boy but, she felt so close to his brother that she felt close to him aswell.
"Thanks, obviously you guys had fun," Nick blushed, looking curiously at the ground. He knew the girl was embarrassed about the hug but, he really didn't mind. He wanted to be the girls' friend and enjoyed spending time with her.
"Yeah, you guys are awesome," Ryan gushed, patting the boy on the back gently. He sometimes wished he could play a musical instrument but, he loved skate-boarding too much. He had lived his whole life to become a pro-skater and he wasn't about to ruin the dream.
"We do try," he smirked, popping his collar dramatically. He laughed right along with the two of them – erupting into another fit as he saw his brothers coming. Joe was stumbling towards them and continuously casting glances over his shoulder in fear – Kevin doing the same.
"What's the matter with them?" Lilly asked, pointing towards the two boys. She couldn't hold in the laughter as Joe tripped on one of the stage wires and pulled Kevin down with him – he was slightly clumsy.
"Help?" Kevin pleaded, looking towards the three of them. He couldn't believe his brother had pulled him down aswell – he didn't think Joe was that clumsy. Grasping Nicks' hand tightly, he was hauled up and set straight within a minute.
"Thanks for the help guys...really," Joe mumbled sarcastically, pulling himself off of the ground. He dusted himself off before looking towards the four. He was waiting to see what they had thought of the concert – to see if Lilly had enjoyed herself.
"Suck it up..." Lilly smiled, winking towards the boy. She grinned happily at him as he sent a mock-glare her way. She knew the fickle emotion of jealousy wasn't warranted so she pushed it aside; he was only trying to make the fans happy – she couldn't fault him for that.
"What do you guys wanna do now?" Nick asked, looking towards Lilly and Ryan. The brothers' thought they'd let them decide what they should do – they weren't Malibu natives. Lilly knew the place alot better than the rest of them.
"Um...I think I have a place but I don't think you guys would be into it," she answered, looking towards Ryan for conformation. She was unsure if she should take them to where they used to hang out – it wasn't what she was thinking they were used too. She used to be a wild-child.
"If they wanna go, they wanna go," Ryan shrugged, looking towards the three brothers. It wasn't his decision to make – he did miss the place though. He missed all the good times they had together. They were so young yet, because of who she was, they seemed to have no problem.
"I wanna go!" Joe stated, bouncing up and down. He was getting excited to get to know Lilly alittle more – she was going to show him a place where she used to go or still goes. It would be a glimpse into her past and he wanted to know her. If he shouldn't be afraid to show who he was – neither should she.
"If you're sure..." Lilly mumbled, turning and walking out the door. She wasn't sure if they even remembered her but, she knew she could get in. She didn't tell many people but, she had connections in the entertainment world – her parents held quite abit of influence. She knew the Jonas Brothers would get in with no protest; she just wondered if they knew what they were getting into. Her old scene was right out of the tabloids.
So as you can see there's alittle bit of mystery with what Lilly's hiding...that won't be revealed until the next chapter. Hopefully you guys are still enjoying it...? This chapter's probably alittle boring but I will be adding some drama soon - I mean, Lilly's dark pasts going to be revealed and Miley's coming back...what drama doesn't that girl induce?? lols
Continue to read and review!! Thankyou!
