Chapter 7

Kevin's POV

I sighed loudly and collapsed on the couch. Nick had already gone to bed and Joe and Demi had left for the night. I threw my phone onto the table and ran my hands through my hair. I thought back on the conversation I had just had with Danielle, we had been talking about Demi's freak out and Danielle seemed just as concerned as I was. I remember Danielle's first major panic attack when it came to the paparazzi, it took her at least two days to stop jumping at every noise! My brothers and I had grown up with this, but Demi had just recently kicked off and because she was with us, this shit was being forced on her faster than it should have. I suppose the fact that most of the people out there with cameras were big, fully grown men, whereas Demi was just a petite 17 year old girl, didn't help. I sighed again, knowing that I wouldn't be able to sleep until I made sure that Demi was ok. I'd never felt so protective of anyone in my life, not even Nick. Nick sometimes jokes that Dani and I should just adopt Demi and I hate to admit it, but he really is a clever kid and seems to know exactly how responsible I feel for her.

I decided to go and check on her, knowing that I'd never sleep properly if I didn't, Joe would be useless if she was still freaking out, although he did seem to have some magical power over Demi, no-one could calm her down faster, he knew just how to push her buttons and it was the same with Demi for him. I pondered this as I walked out the door and towards their room. They really were perfect for each other, I know I'd feel conflicted if they ever got together, I'd be happy for them, happy for Joe and happy for Demi, but I'd also feel protective of Demi, and of Joe...I'd be confused to say the least. I stopped outside their door and continued to muse, at least Joe would be better for her then the usual guys she went out with. I mean, come on, tattoos, piercings, long, shaggy hair, they just screamed 'lock up your daughter', or well in my case, 'lock up your Demi'. Maybe that's why Demi liked them? She was a rebel, the sweetest kindest, most caring rebel I had ever met, but still a rebel, none the less, she seemed to always want to push the boundaries, especially where she still had control, not Disney or anyone else. I'd talk to Nick about it later, he always knew best when it came to other peoples relationships. He was useless when it came to his own, but he was a great matchmaker. He knew Dani was the one for me, before I did!

Suddenly I heard a deep moan, which snapped me out of my revelry. I frowned as I heard Demi's voice, "Oooo, yess Joe, right there!"

Jesus, what were they doing in there? I pounded furiously on the door, "Joseph Adam Jonas, open this door immediately, Demetria Lovato, you better not be-"

I was cut off by the door opening, revealing Joe's irritated face. "God, Kevin, keep it down, people are trying to sleep, do you know what time it is?" I narrowed my eyes at him, but he wouldn't quite meet my eyes. I pushed passed him, not knowing what to expect, but calming down as soon as I saw Demi sitting up, fully clothed, in the bed. I frowned when I noticed it was a double bed and turned to Joe, who seemed to know what I was thinking and gestured in exasperation at the floor, where I saw he had made a make-shift bed for himself.

"You ok, Kev?" I heard Demi ask and turned towards her. She was looking at me in concern and I nodded, "Yeah, sorry, I just came to-" Joe cut me off, "Kevin, you realise we have to be up in less than 6 hours right?" I frowned at the clock, then realised he was right. I'd talk to Demi tomorrow, I decided. I turned towards the door, "Ok, just wanted to say night," I gave them both a wave, which Joe rolled his eyes at, man he was cranky when you woke him up! I turned towards the door and heard Demi leap off the bed. She grabbed me round the waist and gave me a squeeze, "Night Kev, love you," she whispered in my ear, I pulled back and said, "Night Demi, love you too," I winked at her and she giggled. I turned towards Joe who was glaring at me, "Night bro," I said, "Night Kevin," he said through gritted teeth. Man he needed to chill. I walked out the door, wondering what his problem was.

Joe's POV

I felt myself get hard at her words and stopped massaging her neck, trying to control myself but failing. I slowly let my hands fall to her arms and spun her round to face me. I bent towards her lips, determined to kiss her this time, when I was interrupted by someone trying to break down our door, "Joseph Adam Jonas, open this door immediately," I sighed and looked down at Demi who was frozen in my arms, her eyes locked on mine. I sighed as Kevin continued to shout and saw Demi's eyes close as my breath hit her lips. I sprang up off the bed and opened the door, fighting the desire to kill Kevin. I opened the door and he glared at me suspiciously, I realised that he must have heard Demi and I'm guessing he came to the conclusion that we were doing what I had hoped we would have been a second ago. I decided to play it cool, even though the lower half of my body was begging me to jump back on the bed with Demi,

"God, Kevin, keep it down, people are trying to sleep, do you know what time it is?" I let all my irritation seep into my words, trying to make it seem like he had just woke me up. I didn't meet his eyes, afraid he would see something there. I felt him push past me and let him, not wanting him to realise how excited I was. He stopped when he saw Demi and I smiled smugly, then he turned towards me frowning and I gestured towards where I had been sleeping before Demi woke up. I saw Demi frown at it, but then she turned back to Kevin, asking was he ok. He started to make up an excuse about why he was here, when I cut him off, eager for him to leave the room, so I could take care of my problem. "Kevin, you realise we have to be up in less than 6 hours right?" I saw his glance towards the clock and sighed happily when he decided to leave. He waved us goodnight, but Demi bounded over him and tackled him into a hug, "Night Kev, love you," I heard her whisper, "Night Demi, love you too," he muttered back with a wink. She giggled and I glared at them, jealousy coursing through my veins, even though I knew it was completely innocent, I couldn't help it. He said goodnight to me and I replied, through gritted teeth, my problem becoming more insistent by the minute. He glared at my rudeness and finally left.

I looked around for Demi and saw her bent over her suitcase, giving me a nice view of her ass. And I will say it again, I LOVE SKIRTS! She stood up and turned around, pajamas clutched in her hand. She smiled at me and scurried towards the bathroom. I sighed, trying not to imagine what she was doing, Then wondered exactly what I was going to do with my very excited little friend. I took off my shirt and decided I'd leave my jeans on until she came out of the bathroom, not wanting to make it too obvious how happy I was to see her.

The bathroom door opened, revealing Demi dressed in very short purple pajama shorts and an oversized black Jonas Brothers Concert t-shirt. It registered somewhere in the back of my mind that I should probably comment on the shirt as I ran my gaze up and down her amazing legs. I forced my gaze up to her face and saw that she was smirking. She walked towards me, "Nice t-shirt," I managed to get out, She smiled, "Yup, you guys are always with me when I sleep," I smirked, "So you really wanna sleep with me that bad huh?" Demi blushed and I had to stop myself reaching out to brush her cheek. I closed my eyes and composed myself. I turned towards the bathroom and told her I'd be back in a while. I grabbed my phone, hoping she didn't see and rushed in to lock the door.
