Standing in the Rain

Disclaimer: I do not own the Jonas Brothers (if I did, I would keep them in my closet and feed them once (maybe, if their lucky, twice) a day) or JONAS (If I did, Macy and Joe would've kissed by now). I do, however own the plot.

Macy's POV:

My face was a very bright pink when I got home. I'd run the entire way from the gym most likely without breathing once.

Mom looked at me with a concerned look.

"Are you okay darling?" She brushed my hair away from my face. I couldn't tell her the truth about how I felt. Usually I told her everything. I gave her a sad smile.

"Oh no," She seemed to know what was going on. "Did something happen to one of the Lucas brothers?"

"I guess you could say that," I answered with a sigh. I think she sensed that I wasn't going tell her.

"I'm going to bed" She smiled at me.

I nodded. "Me too"

The next day I had an archery tournament, so I was excused from all my classes.

I was the second best at the tournament. I got a price. But for once I just couldn't focus on the joy of... almost winning.

I went to gather my arrows, when someone spoke my name.

"You're Macy, right?" I turned and saw my Archery Idol standing before me: Dylan Jensen. He was good looking. Even I could tell. And he took me completely off guard.

"Yeah," I said in a hoarse voice.

"I saw you shoot. You're really good," I blushed, but I didn't know what to say.

"You really are good," he repeated as if I'd contradicted him. "But it seems like something is distracting you?"

He'd hit bulls eye. And it was visible in my face.

"Oh... Listen it's none of my business but whatever it is that is bothering you, you might wanna figure it out." I bit my lower lip and suddenly it all burst out of me. I told him about the party, where Joe couldn't stand the sight of me and then about the kiss in the gym.

All the while Dylan was nodding and shaking his head to the story. When I finally finished, Dylan laid his hand on my shoulder and looked me deeply in the eye.

"And why was it you wouldn't kiss him back?" He looked confused "You like him don't you?"

I pouted my lips and looked up at him with a sad look. Then I took in a deep breath trying to make myself feel more comfortable.

"It's... My best friend is in love with him. And well this might sound silly but she saw him first." I bit my lip again.

"Oh wow," He exhaled. "You're a really, REALLY good friend. I mean, you're obviously totally hopelessly head over heels in love with this guy."

I shrugged "I know."

"Listen, you gotta talk to your friend. AND you gotta talk to your one true love." Oh no, another person had just been added to my list of very serious 'have-to-talk-to' persons. Dammit! Crap, I just swore! I haven't sworn since my mom washed my JONAS fan club president shirt so it shrunk.

"Okay kiddo. I've got to go now. Promise me you'll get some control of your life," he smiled at me and meshed up my hair. I couldn't help but smile. After all he was my idol. In archery anyway.
