I'm so sorry that this took so long. But I've had so much homework and crap to do. so, here' the next chapter.


Chapter 2

Joe's POV

I sprinted out of our dressing room and made my way to the venue, a million thoughts racing through my mind, like: What would cause Nick to leave without telling us? Was he mad at Kevin and I for some reason? And where could he have gone? I couldn't believe that he would just disappear like that, though. I know for a fact that he'd talk to us if anything was on his mind. I was praying that he'd be at the venue, just clearing his thoughts.

I reached the venue in record time, but was quickly filled with disappointment when I looked around. My baby brother was nowhere to be found. I sighed in frustration and ran back to the dressing room to find Kevin pacing around the room. He looked up at me.

"Did you find him?" He asked me, with a hint of hope in his voice.

"No, sorry Kev." I replied, panting heavily. He sighed and looked away. I felt really bad for letting him down like that. He was always protective of Nick, Frankie and I ever since we were born. He constantly told us that it was his job to protect us and take care of us no matter what happened.

I suddenly felt something vibrate and put on a look of confusion. What could it be? Realization hit me and I slapped my forehead. My parents, Frankie, and Big Rob had been waiting outside on the tour bus this whole time. I took my phone out and answered.

"Hello?"

"Joseph!" my mother's worried voice cried through the phone. "Where are you and your brothers? We've been waiting out here for almost and hour!"

I knew I couldn't hide anything from my mom…she'd eventually figure out that one her eldest boys was missing. Kevin walked over to me and I put the phone on speaker.

I sighed. "Umm, mom… I need to tell you something really important."

"What's wrong sweetie?" She asked

"Well…Ugh, Nick's kind of… missing…" I trailed off.

I heard a loud crash, like the phone had dropped. I heard shuffling and her voice rang through the phone once again.

"WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S MISSING?" She cried. I could hear my dad's voice in the background.

"What's going on, Denise?" She ignored him and returned her attention back to me.

"HE CAN'T BE GONE! WEREN'T YOU WATCHING HIM?!" Her voice filled with anger.

"It happened after the show! I swear we we're with him the ENTIRE time!" I said in defense. We have no clue how it happened. He was standing next to us, then the lights flickered on and off and there was a loud crash. After that, we couldn't find him!"

"My baby!!" She sobbed loudly. I heard more shuffling.

"Joseph?" Came my dad's stern voice. "As you can see, your mother is in no condition to talk. Is Kevin with you?"

"Right here, dad." He said.

"Alright, I want both of you to come back to the tour bus. There's nothing we can do right now. The police can't do anything either, as Nick's been gone for less than 48 hours.

"I guess so... We're on our way." Kevin hung up the phone looking really upset.

"I'm sorry, Kev. I really am." I apologized. He looked over at me

"Me too." He said sadly. He wrapped one of his arms around my waist and I placed my head on his shoulder. We then made our way out the door and back to our bus.

Go!
To un-explain
The unforgivable
Drain all the blood
And give the kids a show
By streetlight this dark night
A seance down below
There's things that I have done
You never
Should ever know

And without you is how I disappear
And live my life alone forever now.
And without you is how I disappear
And live my life alone forever now.

Who walks among the famous living dead
Drowns all the boys and girls inside your bed
And if you could talk to me
Tell me if it's so
That all the good girls go to heaven
Well heaven knows

That without you is how I disappear
And live my life alone forever now.
And without you is how I disappear
And live my life alone forever now.

Can you hear me cry out to you,
Words I thought I'd choke on
Figure out I'm really not so with you anymore
I'm just a ghost

So I can't hurt you anymore,
So I can't hurt you anymore!

And now, you wanna see how far down I can sink? LET ME GO!

So you can
Well now so
You can
I'm so far away from you
Well now so
You can

And without you is how I disappear,
And without you is how I disappear

Forever
Forever now
