Wowowow. You guys are the best!! Thanks for the AWESOME reviews!! They are wonderful to read almost every day!
So, I know you guys all want different people to be with her, but this chapter basically determines a lot. I hope you guys will keep reading though, because YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN FUTURE CHAPTERS (ESPECIALLY THE SEQUEL!!)
Okay, with that being said, here's the next chapter...
The next day the boys had yet another radio interview, bright and early. They answered all the usual questions, plugged their album set to release on August seventh, and met with some fans. When they got back to the bus, it was about ten o'clock, and everyone was up. Sarah and Frankie were playing tennis on the Wii in the back lounge, and Denise and Paul were drinking coffee in the front. Joe headed straight for his bunk, intent on getting a few more hours of sleep before the show. Kevin headed towards the kitchenette, grabbing a bowl and a spoon for some cereal. Nick followed him, noticing that he could finally talk to Kevin alone.
"Hey, Kev, can I talk to you?" Nick asked, semi-nervously.
"Sure, dude, what's up?" his older brother replied, taking out a box of Mini Wheat's and pouring himself some.
"Well, you see… I have this sort of… problem, I guess you could call it," Nick started.
"Uh-huh," Kevin replied, urging his younger brother to go on.
He loved when his brothers came to him for advice, but he sometimes wished they would get to the point faster.
"So uh, well, I like this girl, and she's really amazing, I can't stop thinking about her, but I don't know how to tell her, because, it would be completely awkward if she didn't feel the same way." Nick finally got it out.
"Dude, I get it. You don't want to tell her cause you have to see her every day, and if she doesn't like you back then the rest of the tour will totally suck." Kevin replied.
Nick nodded and then realized what Kevin had said. "How did you know…?" he asked in disbelief. Kevin always knew everything.
"Nicholas, it's completely obvious. Even a blind person could figure out that you were crushing on Sarah," Kevin replied.
Nick just nodded, taking everything in. He had just admitted out loud to liking Sarah, and just found out that everyone knew before he did.
"What about Miley?" Kevin asked before thinking, which he immediately regretted.
"What about her? I don't like her remember? She's been pissing me off lately with her constant texting and e-mails. And now she's been talking to magazines and making them think that I like her and we're dating again," Nick said, frustrated.
Kevin nodded. He understood completely but didn't want to get in the middle of the Miley and Nick drama.
"I think you should tell her you like her," Kevin said finally.
'Before Joe realizes he likes her, too' Kevin thought to himself, but was surprised that he even thought that. Sure, he had noticed Joe flirting with Sarah, and the jealous looks he gave Nick when she was paying attention to the younger Jonas, but Kevin wasn't too sure that Joe even liked her- liked her all that much. Only time would tell. Nick nodded again.
"Besides, I think you have a really good chance of avoiding awkwardness. Based on last night, I'd say she likes you, dude." Kevin added.
He knew this would convince his little brother.
"Yeah, you're right, Kevin. I think I will tell her. Thanks for the advice," Nick said, giving his brother a pound and going to his bunk to think about how he was going to tell Sarah he liked her.
Three hours later, Sarah was assigned the job of waking up the Jonas boys. She and Frankie had just finished eating lunch, and Denise had to go make sure everything was okay inside the venue, so she asked Sarah to wake up the three sleeping boys. Kevin had crawled into his bunk not long after Nick.
She decided to get Frankie to come help her and he picked to wake up Joe first. She lifted him up so he could crawl into Joe's bunk. He sat on his brother's stomach and stared at him intensely. Joe didn't even stir. Sarah pushed his long bangs off his face and her hand lingered on his forehead briefly. Frankie reached down and opened Joe's eye lids with his fingers, laughing at the way his eyeballs rolled away from the light. Frankie bounced up and down a little.
"Wake up!" Frankie cried.
Joe lay still for one more moment before grabbing Frankie by the sides and tickling him. His little brother melted into a fit of giggles, and pretty soon he was squealing. Joe stopped tickling him a few seconds later, and sat up in his bunk as Frankie sat next to him.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Jonas," Sarah said formally, trying not to laugh at the way his hair was all over the place.
Joe just glared at her, thinking that she was the one who put Frankie up to the rude awakening. She smiled graciously at him, trying to get him to crack his own smile, and reached out for Frankie.
"Come on, Franklin. Joe's being cranky. We still have two more brothers to wake up," Sarah said as Frankie crawled into her arms so she could help him down from Joe's bunk. "Who next?"
"Kevin!" Frankie said, climbing into Kevin's bunk.
Frankie found Kevin's iPHONE lying next to his brother, so he decided to turn on a loud rock song and hold the phone next to his brother's ear. Sarah had been admiring how cute Kevin looked while he slept so she hadn't really noticed what Frankie was actually doing with Kevin's phone. The oldest Jonas brother jumped awake, eyes wide and looking around for the source of the noise.
"Frankie! What are you doing?" Kevin asked, sleep still in his voice.
"Mom said it's time to wake up!" he said cheerfully, putting the phone down where he found it.
Kevin reached over and turned the music off. He looked at Sarah, who was holding back laughter.
"It was all him," she said, pointing at Frankie. "Your mom just gave us the job to wake you guys up and Frankie was more than excited."
Kevin smiled weakly at the two and nodded. Frankie crawled back out of his oldest brother's bunk, still laughing loudly at the reaction he got.
"Two down, one Jonas to go," Sarah stated.
She had to help Frankie into Nick's bunk as well, and Frankie decided that they should stare at him until he woke up.
They stared at him for what seemed like five extremely long minutes, but was really probably only thirty seconds or so, before Frankie got bored. He was kneeling over his brother and didn't feel like waiting for him to wake up anymore.
"Nick look, it's Jessica Alba!" Frankie yelled into his brother's face.
He woke up with a start, sitting up suddenly and almost bashing heads with Frankie, who had fallen out of the bunk into Sarah's open arms.
Frankie was cracking up in his cute little boy laugh, and Sarah had to put him down because he was wiggling so much. Nick looked sleepy and not very happy, having been woken up unpleasantly.
"Good afternoon, sleepy head," she said to him with a kind, sympathetic smile, before being dragged off by Frankie to go do something.
Later that day, Sarah had been reading her Harry Potter book on the couch again, and managed to drift off into a light sleep. The boys were out and about doing something, and Frankie had tagged along so she had a little while to herself. She had just drifted off to sleep when Joe bounded onto the bus. He went to the kitchenette to grab himself a Red Bull, and spotted Sarah sleeping in the process. He closed the refrigerator door, and grabbed some ice cubes from the freezer, making his way over to where Sarah was sleeping. He reached down and slipped the ice cubes down the back of her shirt.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed, eyes shooting open as she stood up and tried to shake the ice cubes out of her shirt.
They fell to the floor, along with Joe, who was clutching his sides from laughter.
"What the hell was that for?" she cried, forcing the smile off her face but not succeeding.
"That… was too… funny," he said in between breaths. She stared at him until he regained his breath and sat up. "I had to get you back for before," he managed to say.
"That was all Frankie. I would have preferred waking up guys up in a different way but hey, I answer to that kid," she added jokingly.
She stared down at Joe and he looked up at her, reaching out his free hand for her to help him up.
She reached down, pretending to reach for his hand, but really grabbed his Red Bull out of his other hand and smirked.
"Thank you very much," she said, popping the top and taking a sip.
"Oh no you don't," he said, standing up quickly and chasing her out of the bus.
She laughed the whole way into the parking lot, trying not spill the Red Bull. Joe caught up with her easily and snatched her up around the waist. He managed to throw her over his shoulder without getting any Red Bull on either of them and started walking towards the venue where everyone else was.
"Joe! Put me down!" she yelled, laughter in her voice.
"Nope, not until you apologize and give me back my Red Bull," he stated stubbornly.
Sarah succeeded at taking another large gulp of Red Bull skillfully as Joe walked them both back to everyone. She continued to argue with him but made sure to drink the entire can before they got to the venue.
"Joseph, I said, put me down!" she exclaimed again.
"What was that? I can't hear you," he said again.
She crushed the now empty can in her hand, making him stop walking.
"Tell me you poured the can out," he stated warningly.
She tossed the can so it landed in front of him.
"Nope, I drank it," she stated smugly.
"That's it," he said.
He put her down and started tickling her immediately, making sure she couldn't get out of his reach. This went on for a few more minutes, both of them laughing wildly, until Garbo yelled over to them.
"Hey Joe, we have sound check, let's go!" he called.
Joe stopped tickling Sarah and gave her a look.
"This isn't over," he said creepily, pointing between them before jogging over to sound check.
She shook her head at him; that boy was too much.
Nick had watched most of what was going on with them and didn't like what he saw one bit. He knew that his brother was flirting, even though he wasn't sure if his brother knew he was flirting. Nick was now more determined than ever to just go out and tell Sarah how he felt about her. Even if Joe did like Sarah, Joe couldn't do anything to stop Nick from feeling what he was feeling, so they would just have to work it out.
The rest of the day and night, Nick kept trying to find ways to tell Sarah how he felt. It was never the right moment after sound check or before the show. And after the concert, the boys found Sarah sitting in the back lounge on the phone with one of her friends from back home. When she saw them enter the lounge, she retreated to her bunk to finish her conversation. She apparently fell asleep on the phone or something because they didn't see her for the rest of the night.
So, what did you think? Not very long (I warned you), but I think sort of a lot happened. I mean, now we know that Nick is pretty much going to proclaim his attraction to Sarah, and everyone is realizing that Joe likes her too, even though he doesnt realize it yet, right?
Like I said, I hope you guys will continue to read, because I PROMISE that a lot more drama will happen in later chapters, AND in the sequel.
Review please!!
