Nick's POV

I can't believe that Joe was making out with Tara. It's not that I like her, but Joe has a girlfriend, and he can't be cheating on Carla.

"What the heck is your problem, Joe?" I shouted, dragging Joe out of the room, leaving Tara just sitting there, crying. I ignored her.

"Nick, it wasn't my fault!" Joe screamed.

"That's what you always say, you just can't live one day without making out with someone, can't you?" I asked, and Joe silenced. I calmed down a bit.

"Nick, you don't understand. First, Tara came in the room, telling me that she wanted to talk to me." He said, sitting down on the cold wooden floor.

"What are you talking about?" I said, confused.

"Well, she came in my room, and she wanted to talk." Joe said.

"I know that, stupid, but what did she want to talk about?" I said, smacking his head. By now, we weren't arguing anymore.

"She asked me why you haven't talked a lot to her today." He said, rubbing his head.

"Can't she understand that being away from her for a long time is hard for me? It's hard for me to talk to her after a couple of years, Joe." I said, putting my hands on my head.

"Why were you two making out then?" I asked. This still didn't make any sense to me.

"She told me how much she missed me, you and Kevin. I told her that we missed her too. Then, she started going nearer, towards me. Then she kissed me." Joe answered.

"But why did you kiss her back?" I asked, still confused.

"I don't know. Something inside me wouldn't let go of her, and now I feel guilty about kissing her. Nick, what do I do?" He replied, holding my shoulders.

"Tell Carla the truth, and see how it happens. But Joe, I have a feeling that Tara kissed you not because she likes you, but maybe for another reason." I told Joe, putting one hand on his shoulder.

"Are you kidding me? Why would I tell Carla? She's gonna break up with me!" Joe said frantically.

"She'll understand once you tell her that Tara kissed you, I know Carla, she's and understanding person." I said.

"Thanks Nick, I'm glad to have you as a brother." Joe said, and I just patted his back.

"No problem bro, anytime." I said, and left to go to Brianna.

Brianna's POV

While I was just finishing up talking to Miley, Nick came. We started to talk at the same time, but Nick let me talk first.

"Nick, Miley and I decided that you and your brothers should spend some time together, while the two of us go shopping." I told Nick. He groaned.

"Why? I've spend enough time with them already!" He whined. I just giggled.

"Oh come on, I need to go shopping with my best friend, and we want to spend time alone. We'll only be gone for a couple of hours." I said.

"Okay, fine. How about Tara?" Nick whispered.

"I'm sure that she'll tag along with your parents, since what happened today was pretty awkward for everyone." I said, sure that Tara will go with Mr. and Mrs. Jonas.

"So, Miley and I will go to the mall tomorrow, while you three stay here and goof around, I don't know." I chuckled. Mrs. Jonas had just finished cooking dinner, and we were all called to the table. Tara came in last.

"Sorry." She muttered. Dinner was pretty awkward, it was pretty quiet. Mrs. Jonas tried to start a conversation between her and Tara to break the silence. I started talking to Miley about stuff.

After dinner, I called in to my parents, telling them that I'm sleeping over at the Jonases. I got the things that I needed, and Miley and I watched a movie, along with Nick, Joe and Kevin.

"Where's Tara?" I asked.

"She's in the guest room, she said that she's tired." Kevin said. I just shrugged and paid attention to the movie.

The next day, Miley and I were getting ready for our trip to the mall. It took each of us at least one and a half hours to get ready.

"Why are you guys taking so long? You're just going to the mall." Nick said, groaning.

"Hello, we're girls, do the math." I said, as I finished getting ready. Miley finished a few minutes after.

"Let's go, I'm so excited!" Miley said. We both went to the door, and I gave Nick a soft kiss.

"Let go, loverboy, I need my friend to go shopping with me." Miley said, pulling me away from Nick. All of us just laughed and Miley and I went outside, to the car.

"Bye!" Nick waved. I waved back, and we drove off to the mall.

Nick's POV

Oh boy, here we go. I went back inside the house, and just as I was near the couch, Joe jumped on me, causing me to flip over the couch.

"Joe, what was that for?" I asked frantically.

"I wanted to scare you, and it worked!" Joe laughed.

"You didn't scare me, you hurt me!" I said, playfully smacking the back of his head.

"Whatever." Was all he replied.

"Well, Bri and Miley are gone because they wanted us to 'spend time together'." I said, making air quotes between 'spend time together'.

"Dude, Kevin's going out today, and I just don't want to spend time with you today, so you're on your own. I have to call Carla and tell her something." Joe said, going back to his room.

"Fine. Whatever." I muttered. I went in the kitchen, and I was Tara in there. I gulped.

"Uh, hey Nick." Tara said.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were with mom and dad." I said, moving away from her. I didn't want to be alone with her now.

Brianna's POV

Miley and I bought a lot of stuff in the mall. We probably spent a thousand dollars each, just on clothes. When we got to the Jonases house, we went in.

"Hello? Nick, Joe, Kevin, are you here? We're home!" I yelled. The house was awkwardly quiet again.

"Whatever, let's go get a snack. I bet the guys are pigging out in the kitchen." I said, and dragged Miley to the kitchen. What we saw next was a big shock. I wanted to die right there, and I felt tears coming to my eyes.

Miley looked as shock as I am.

I came up to Nick and Tara, who were kissing, and said "how can you do this?"

I ran.

A/N: SO, what did you guys think? Was it unexpected? Haha. Anyway, READ AND REVIEW PLEASE, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
