Nick sang the last note of "Please Be Mine," and let the sound resonate throughout the venue. He slowly opened his eyes to see an ecstatic, screaming crowd of over 25, 000 people.
"Thank you Wycoff, New Jersey!" He yelled into the mic before grabbing both his brothers' hands and bowing. They smiled widely at the crowd one last time before running backstage into their dressing room.
"Oh my God! That show was amazing!" Joe yelled before engulfing Nick and Kevin into a massive bear hug.
"Hey Danger, feel free to let us go anytime now!" Kevin said , drastically gasping for breath. Nick chuckled softly.
"Fine!" Joe huffed and released them. He feigned anger and glared at Kevin. "I guess you don't love me." Kevin just rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. You just keep believing th-"
He was rudely interrupted by a loud 'CRASH' that echoed through the room and the lights flickered on and off for several seconds.
"Holy crap!" Joe exclaimed. "What just happened?"
"No clue." Kevin answered back, still somewhat startle by the noise. He looked around and it was then that he noticed Nick was nowhere in sight.
"Uh, Joe…Where'd Nick go?" He asked, suddenly becoming worried.
"I don't know, just call his name." Joe said, thinking nothing of it.
"NICK!" He yelled. No answer.
"NICK! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Still no answer.
"Maybe he's in the washroom?" Joe suggested.
"Yeah, yeah, I bet you're right." Kevin stated, voice quivering slightly. "I'll go check" He turned to the door and sped down the hallway leading to the washroom.
He came back a few moments later panting heavily.
"He's…not…there…" He said quietly.
"NICK! NICHOLAS!" Joe screamed as loud as he could.
Panic and fear arose upon both brothers when Nick didn't respond this time. It was actually quite unusual; he always answered to 'Nicholas.'
"He couldn't have gone far, I'll check the hallway and you check inside the venue." Kevin said, brotherly instincts kicking in.
Joe nodded his head furiously and ran to his assigned area.
A/N So this is just the introduction, not very exciting, but I promise it will get somewhat better throughout the chapters :)
