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 a day) or JONAS (If I did, Macy and Joe would've kissed by now). I do, however own the plot.

Stella's POV

Joe had invited me over to have a movie night. We hadn't hung out since the incident with Macy.

But this was gonna be nice. I was really looking forward to it.

I pressed the doorbell.

"Hey!" Joe smiled at me. I pushed past him with a smile on my lips. I threw my coat at him and jumped to the couch.

"So what are we gonna watch?" I asked.

"I've got some possibilities," He threw himself beside me on the couch.

The first movie was a classic – The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. We'd watched it a million times before.

After that we ordered a pizza and put on the next movie.

The movie had the saddest ending ever! The girl's biggest dream came true, but as it did, this magic tornado swirled her up and her beautiful prom gown was replaced by the most hideous orange, brown and green dress. It was like a dress from designer hell!

"Stella? Are you crying?" Joe looked at me sceptically.

"Yeah," I sniffed. "Didn't you see the... dress?!" I spit the last word out.

"You're adorable!" He said while pushing a bit of hair behind my ear. I looked up in his eyes and right there and then I took a decision. But I had to test my feelings before I could be sure.

I leaned in a pushed my lips against his. At first he was so surprised he didn't do anything.

I held my lips against his for awhile trying to figure out my feelings. I didn't feel anything. I felt nothing but the usual. Finally I'd found out that my feelings for Joe was nothing more than some left over from a childhood crush.

Suddenly I realised that I was still kissing him. I leaned back and saw that Joe was totally paralysed, eyes open, mouth shut and a lost look in his eyes.

He'd probably been sitting like that while I was kissing him. I couldn't hold back a giggle.

"Oh stop that!" I punched his shoulder. "It had to happen sometime!"

His eyes grew wide. I giggled again.

"Wha...Wha..How...When...Why..." He was fighting to complete his sentence.

"Joe! Get yourself together. I can't understand a word you're saying!"

"I'm... Stella, I'm sorry, I'm not in love with you!" He looked so confused.

"That's good. Cause I'm not in love with you either," I said in a light brisk voice.

That made him look even more confused. I couldn't hold it back anymore, I burst out in laughter.

"But then... Why did you... Do that?" I was fighting to catch my breath.

"All you need to know is, that Macy only walked away from you, because she thought I was in love with you!"

"How does that help me?"

"Listen will you! Macy does like you!" I placed my hands on each of his shoulders and shook him.

"Get it through your thick skull!" He looked a bit offended. Then he realised what I was saying, he jumped up, eyes wide open.

"Well, I gotta find her!" He turned around himself. Then headed for the stairs to the second floor.

"Um, Joe. The doors are that way," I pointed to the door.

"Right!" He turned and walked to the door.
