Nick's POV
Why was I so nervous talking to Joe? He's my own brother for crying out loud. I'm pathetic. Just talk like you're talking to Kevin, it shouldn't be that bad.
"So really Joe. What's going on?" I questioned.
"What do you mean?" He replied. I could totally tell he was playing dumb. There was a glint in his eyes that completely gave him away. I see he still hasn't gotten better at hiding things.
"With Lilly, Joe," I said getting straight to the point.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." He was trying his hardest not to laugh. Oh it's on.
"Well, let's start with the flirtfest you two were having during dinner. What was that all about?"
"You must be crazy man. Do you need to get your eyes checked? I'll be sure to remind mom about that." This time he couldn't hold back his smile.
I was determined to wipe that smirk off his face. "Then what do you call looking at each other every 5 seconds? Don't lie buddy. I saw that." It was my turn to smile as his disappeared.
"It was not every 5 seconds," was all he managed to get out. Busted. I was on a roll.
"Not to mention you were skipping down the stairs AND doing the dishes. How much more obvious does it get Mr. Lillylover?"
"Mr. Lillylover? That's the best you could do?" He laughed. I whacked him on the arm and he shut up.
"Joe, I know we had our arguments and we drifted apart, but I'm always going to be your brother, and I'm always going to be here for you. You can tell me anything. You know that." There was the big speech I had been dreading to say. Yes, I know it wasn't really a speech and it was only 2 sentences, but to me it was the longest thing ever. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he hadn't really changed back and everything I just said was just a bunch of bull to him and he couldn't care less.

Joe's POV
God, why am I so freaking nervous? But once the conversation got going, I found it easy to joke around again like I used to, playing dumb even though I knew he could see through my act.
Then he said something I never thought I'd hear again.
"I'm always going to be your brother, and I'm always going to be here for you." I blanked for a moment. It was shocking, and I know what you're thinking, "No duh." But to me, this was huge.
I gave him a warm smile and he smiled back. "I know, bro, I know." Then I decided to spill everything. "So you want to know what's going on with Lilly?" He gave me a small nod. All my feelings about her came pouring out. About how I just felt so comfortable telling her everything there was about me. About how intriguing she was, about how when I was holding her, comforting her, everything felt right. "It felt like everything was going to be ok, that nothing mattered at the moment. I know this sounds stupid, but I felt whole again. I felt like myself."
He was listening intently and he responded, "You were acting like yourself again too. For the first time, Joe, I really felt like we had you back. It was a relief. And I can tell you that right now Miley is asking Lilly about you right now. All I can say is if she has this kind of affect on you, don't let her slip through your fingers."
Hearing all this just made me ridiculously happy. You have no idea. "I don't plan on it."
We sat around just catching up. I've missed him so much and he lives under the same roof as me. Wow I was a jerk, but I guarantee that's over. "Nick," I randomly said.
He looked at me confused. "Joe...?"
I stood up with my hands on my hip, my superhero stance. "Who is this Joe you mention? I have never heard of such a man. My name is DJ Danger and I am BOSS!" It felt good using that name a good. It's been a while.
He just laughed. "You are still such a loser."
"Heck to the nah you just jealous homie. Oh and Nick?"
"Yes Danger?"
"I missed this. Thanks for listening. You know even though I acted like I couldn't stand you, I still do love you little bro," I said. And I meant it to.
"Me too, big bro, me too." Aww what a touching moment. Yes, I teared up a bit. But come on, you can't blame me.
"Is the BOSS gangster Danger about to cry?" Nick said with a smirk.
"Don't act like you don't think is very touching too. Don't hate. I'm a very emotional person."
Nick just laughed at me some more but I could see a tear in his eye too. We are such chicks.
Four great things happened to me today.
1. Lilly and I became best friends.
2. I got my brother back.
3. I fell in love with Lilly Truscott.
4. I found out she might feel the same way.
Bahahaha okay so that's the chapter!
Sorry it was kind of short. I thought that would be a good way to end the chapter.
Nick and Joe had their bromance moment LOL it was actually pretty funny to write.
Don't forget to review please!
~Giving up somebody does not necessarily mean you're weak. It means you have the strength to let them go.~
