"Thank you so much for coming over!" Denise gushed, pulling each family member into a hug. It was ten int he morning and the boys would be arriving home at three. Denise had put together a surprise welcome home party for the boys and invited Katelyn's family over to help out and stay for the night.

"Any time Denise," Rob said, smiling as they entered the house, Frankie and Paige instantly running off upstairs to his room. Denise took them to the kitchen where food was spread out everywhere along wit decorations and other miscellaneous items. Denise set Amber and Katelyn to decorate the back yard while the adults took care of the food.

It had been two weeks since the incident with Jason and her friends at the lunch table. It had been one week since she had seen them, since she was now in winter vacation. Her friends hadn't even bothered to apologize, they all sided with Jason, except Amber, of course. Tara was in the middle, but mostly tried to avoid Katelyn and Amber both. Katelyn had been hurt by this, but that was the price he had to pay for being associated with Joe Jonas, she couldn't just go brag about her famous boyfriend. Of course she wanted to brag about her boyfriend and show them the cute pictures they had taken, but she didn't want to brag about the fame. She wanted to brag about Joseph Jonas, her boyfriend. Not Joe Jonas from the Jonas Brothers, her boyfriend. This was one reason why she knew she had to call it all off before they left the Bahamas, but without him, she was miserable. Yeah, it hurt a lot to have all your friends turn their backs on you, but her misery was no where near the misery she was put through without Joe.

"I can't wait to go home and eat some food and sleep in my own bed and take a shower in my own shower and watch my own TV and..." Joe continued on and on as he watched the building pass by. They were in his mothers van on their way home.

"Joe, we get it," Nick replied, laughing, his brother finally shutting up.

"Joe, you just can't wait to get home to Rachel," Kevin smirked, watching his brothers face heat up with anger.

"That's not even funny Kevin," Joe replied, his voice low.

"Actually it is," Nick replied, starting to bounce in his seat as they pulled into their neighborhood. There were two long painful minutes before they finally pulled into their driveway.

"Home Sweet Home!" Joe shouted, falling to his knees, bowing down to the house.

"Joseph!" Denise scolded, shaking her head. Each boy grabbed their luggage, pulling it to the doorstep. They walked into the house, all smiles and soon the footsteps were heard throughout the house and little Frankie came pouncing into Kevin knees.

"Frankie!" they all exclaimed giving him hugs. After their reuniting, Frankie grabbed Nick's hand pulling him toward the kitchen.

"I have a present for you all!" He smiled, and they all followed him to the kitchen, they walked in and the cliques of people were visible through the sliding glass door to the back yard. Food was lined on the tables and there were people in the pool.

"This is awesome!" Kevin smiled, excited to get out their and see alll their friends again. Joe felt someone wrap their hands over his eyes and a smile instantly fored on his face. He knew exactly who it was.

"Katelyn," he spun around to see her smiling face, her hair fell down around her shoulders and down her back, a piece of her bangs falling in her eyes. She was dressed in a white Abercrombie hoodie with the sleeves pushed up and red shorts with red Keds. Joe wrapped his arms around her waist and her arms flung around her neck, the others slowly moved to the backyard letting the two have their space. They pulled back slightly, looking at each other, beaming.

"I missed you," Katelyn squeeked out, pecking his lips.

"I missed you more," Joe laughed, pecking her again. They hugged one more time, before she grabbed his hand pulling him outside. He was instantly greeted by various neighbors and friends from the neighborhood. He saw Kevin in the pool with Rachel's brother and a few others, which he knew couldn't be a good thing, cause that ment Rachel was around or would be soon. Amber and Nick were sitting next to each other on a lawn chair, talking or flirting, which ever you prefer to call it. He chatted with his friends whom he hadn't seen in so long, Katelyn finally departing, walking into the house. He wanted to go in with her so badly, but he couldn't ditch his friends. After ten minutes when she didn't return, he began to get anxious for her touch.

"I'm sorry," he spoke when Taylor paused at the end of her sentence, "I need to use the restroom."

His friends all nodded and he slipped through the small crowds of people and into the house. The kitchen was empty and he continued walking throughout the first floor, when he didn't see her, he walked upstairs quickly and into his room. He smiled when he saw Katelyn laying on his bed, just staring at the ceiling.

"I was wondering when you were going to come up here," she smirked, her eyes still fixed on the ceiling, he shook his head and walked slowly to the bed, climbing on to it, hoovering over her body. He smirked as she began to giggle.

"You're cute," he whispered, leaning in, kissing her lightly.

"You're cuter," she replied, wrapping hand around the back of his head, running her fingers through his hair, pulling his lips to hers once again. They were in a rather heated make out session when there was a cough at the door, followed by a female voice.

"And what would your fans think of this Mr. Jonas," the two pulled apart, looking towards the door, both slightly shocked by the sudden voice. Katelyn recognized the blonde and younger looking brunette sanding in the doorway from pictures and Joe instantly jumped off the bed, pulling the two girls into a tight hug.

"Mandy! Maya!" he shouted pulling away, Katelyn sat up, fixing herself, her eyes diverted toward the groud, feeling slightly awkward. "What are you doing here?"

"We came for a little visit, duhh," Maya rolled her eyes, laughing at the boy she called her brother.

"Thsi is so awesome," he grabbed the two girls arms, pulling them into the room, "This is my girlfriend Katelyn, Katelyn this is Mandy and Maya."

"Hey," Katelyn smiled, standing up, "I've heard a lot about you guys."

"We've heard a lot about you too," Mandy smirked raising an eyebrow, Katelyn's face instantly heated up.

"Mandy," Joe whined, putting arm around Katelyn, holding her close.

"What?" Mandy said, dramatically, her face lighting up, Joe just rolled his eyes, pushing past the two girls with Katelyn still attached to his side, motioning for them to follow.

"I'm so glad you're here," Nick whispered into Amber's ear, ignoring the clumps of people surrounding them. She smiled, kissing him on the cheek.

"You're my favorite boy ever," she whispered back. They knew they were being mushy and gooey, but they didn't care at the moment, all that matter was them, together and happy.

"Really?" he raised an eyebrow, looking at her.

"Except maybe for Frankie," she spoke normally this time, smiling.

"Hey!" he shouted, jokingly offended. Amber jumped up and ran away from him and he quickly began to chase her. They ran in between the throngs of neighbors and friends, trying not to run into people. Of course that didn't last long because soon Amber collided with a body and they both fell to the ground.

"I am sooo sorry!" Amber spoke quickly, standing up, holding a hand out.

"You better be," the platinum blonde flung her hair out of her face, disgusted by Amber, she ignored her hand helping her self up.

"Are you o...k?" Nick began but then spoke slower as he saw the girl before him. Rachel.

"Nicky Poo!" her tone instantly changed and she held her arms out, pushing passed Amber. She hugged him tightly and he just stood there.

"I missed you so much!" she said over excitedly, "I think you have this girl removed from the premises, however. I think she snuck in cause she was running away and she like totally just knocked me to the ground."

Amber just stood there, mouth open the girls words. Nick just gave Rachel a dirty look and walked to towards Amber, linking arms with her.

"Actually," Nick began, his tone now matching her rude one, "She's my friend and maybe I should have you removed from the premises."

"Oh Nick you're too funny!" Rachel chuckled, flicking her wrist after a moments awkward shocked on her behalf, pause. "Anyways, where's Joe?"

"I don't know, I'm not his keeper," Nick rolled his eyes and pulled Amber passed Rachel, walking away, leaving Rachel there, angry.

"Who was that?" Amber's eyes were wide and she watched as Nick pulled out his phone quickly sending a text to Joe saying, "Rachel's here." Nick explained the story and Amber instantly became furious.

"If she tried anything, I'll kill her!" Amber grumbled as Nick pulled her down in his lap once he had returned to his seat. He chuckled.

"That's why I love you," he kissed her cheek, not thinking about the words that had just poured out of his mouth. Yeah, he loved her, but as a friend. He wasn't sure he was in love with her. That was a big step, something he definitely wasn't ready for. But he loved her in a platonic way and that is exactly what he ment, but what if Amber thought he meant love love?

"I-I mean, w-well, I" He began to stutter, trying to think of the right words. Amber just smiled, knowing he meant it in a friendly way. She put a finger to his lips, shushing him.

"It's ok," she smiled as his nervousness, "I know you meant it in a platonic way, I love you too Nick." He just smiled a goofy smile and Amber leaned in pecking him on the lips.

"I think you just beat Frankie in the "my favorite boy" contest," she whispered in his ear.

-

The whole way down the stairs was full of laughs as Joe began to once again act his crazy self. Once they hit the bottom of the stairs, the doorbell rang.

"Perfect timing," Joe said chuckling a bit, he walked to the door, hoping it was a mob of fans. Upon opening the door, he realized he wrong. In front of him stood Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Cody Linely, Alyson Stoner, Meaghan Martin and Jordan Pruitt.

"Oh my gosh!" Joe shouted, giving Selena a hug first, then the others.

"Surprise!" Mandy said from behind him, grinning with Maya at his side.

"I'm so glad you guys are here!" Joe looked at the small crowd, his grin never faltering.

"Yeah so are we," Meaghan spoke, her smile just as wide, "But I'm pretty sure we came her to party, not stand on your doorstep."

"Oh," Joe's eyes got wide as he stepped aside allowing them entrance, "Parties out back."

He grabbed Katelyn's hand before leading them out, "This is my girlfriend Katelyn, by the way, Katelyn this is D-"

"I know who they are," she interrupted, chuckling, having him save his introductions, the others laughed lightly, shaking her hand.

"I love you're shorts!" Alyson commented as they began to walk to the backyard. Joe smiled, finally so many people he cared about in one place and so far they were all getting along. Once they got outside, they dispersed to say hi to the others, once again leaving Katelyn and Joe alone. They walked to a oak tree that sat in the cornor of the yard, leaning against it on the ground.

"I'm so glad you're hear," Joe spoke as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Me too," she smiled, they continued to have a calm conversation until Joe started telling jokes, soon one thing led to another and Joe was now towering over her, tickling her.

"Joe stop!" she cried out, although her words were barely audible from the laughter. She heard her phone ringing in her back pocket and Joe stopped, allowing her to get her phone. She wiped her eyes and answered her phone with out looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?" she answered, laughter still in her voice, just then Joe poked her sides, causing her to jump and begin laughing more, "Joe stop it! I'm on the phone."

"That's what makes it more fun!" he whined, laughing along with her.

"Hey Katelyn," she sighed when she recognized the other voice, it was Jason.

"Hey," she spoke slowly.

"I just wanted to apologize for... everything," his voice became quieter with each passing word.

"Thanks," Katelyn smiled, knowing that he was sincire about his apology, "I'm sorry too, I just didn't want to hurt you cause you're one of my best friends."

"It's fine," Jason smiled on the other end, "Hey, a bunch of us are going to the movies tonight, want to come?"

"Oh... I can't," her voice dropped in disappointment, "I'm staying at a friends house in LA right now."

"Oh, well you can bring them also, if you want," Jason suggested, wanting to make things better with her and LA was only twenty to thirty minutes away.

"I don't think we can..." Katelyn's voice became quiet and then she felt Joe blowing on her neck, tickling her there, "Joe! Stop it!"

"What?" he laughed out obnoxiously.

She pushed him away, a smirk playing on both their faces, then she spoke back into the receiver, "Sorry, my friend keeps bothering me."

"Joe..." he spoke softly, "Is that your boyfriend?"

Katelyn instantly regretted saying anything, "Uh, yeah, it is..."

"So you're staying with him in LA?" He began to question.

"Yeah, his family and mine are close since we met at the Bahamas, and he and his brothers were out of town for a while so we helped his mom plan a BBQ for their return," she explained to him.

"Oh, well have fun, maybe we can hang out when you get back?" he sounded hopefully, really wanting things to be ok between the two.

"Of course! I'll call you!" Katelyn sounded excited, glad that things were, hopefully, going back to normal. They said their goodbyes and she hung up her phone.

"Joe," she whined looking back at him, "That was Jason!"

"Ohh!" Joe's eyes got wide, Katelyn had told him the whole story, "I'm sorry!"

"No it's fine," Katelyn leaned into him, "He wants to hang out and I think he's pretty sure my boyfriend exists now."

"Well that's good to know that I'm not just a figment of your imagination," He chuckled, "Not that anyones imagination could create something as beautiful and handsome as me."

"You're such a dork, Joe," she leaned in some more closing the space between them, pecking him on the lips, repeatedly.

"Excuse me," a females voice was heard from behind and she didn't sound to happy. The two pulled apart and Joe grimaced at the sight of the platinum blonde, while Katelyn looked around questioningly.

"Rachel..." he nodded, his tone blank as his stare.

"Is that any way to greet the love of you life?" She questioned, completely serious, causing both Joe and Katelyn to give her big looks, then Katelyn looked at Joe with another questioning glance.

"Rachel, this is my girlfriend Katelyn," Joe stood up, introducing the mysterious girl to Katelyn.

"You would chose that over me?" She gave Katelyn a disgusted look.

"I would chose an elephant over you," Joe spoke in all seriousness and Katelyn wasn't sure she had ever heard him say something so mean.

"Whatever, you just wait, one day you'll come crawling to me, wanting me," Rachel sneered in his face, she gave Katelyn another dirty look and stomped away.

"What the hell was that?" Katelyn questioned as Joe helped her up.

"That was Rachel," Joe sighed, holding on to Katelyn's hand as they made their way over to Meghan, Amber, Maya, Nick and Alyson.
