Hey, I want to thank my one reviewer, silvereyed angel, I hope to get more reviews but for her since she is so kind I'll update

It was a quarter to ten when Joe Lucas walked into the old firehouse. His mom, Sandy Lucas, smiled at him as she came out of her bedroom for some water.

"Hi sweetie, I'm so glad to see that smile on your handsome face again" she said, quickly noticing his happy smile.

Joe nodded. 'I guess my mood was pretty sour' he though, touched his whole family had been worried.

'I am so glad I met Becky, she is so much better then Stella' he added to his thoughts and realized his mother had gotten the bottle from the fridge and was staring at him.

'I should probably talk out loud now' he thought and did so.

"Yeah, I know it's only been a day but man, Becky is such an awesome girl" he said.

Nick gulped. He had heard the door open and went to a fire pole to eavesdrop.

Kevin, who hadn't moved from his bed in three hours, had gotten up to use the bathroom when he noticed Nick kneeling beside the middle pole.

Curious he walked over in time to hear Joe speak again.

"She is like so amazing, I have so much in common with her and…she's just so great" he said.

Sandy chuckled. She wasn't all that surprised. Love came quick for her three older men.

She only hoped this young woman wasn't about to harm her son. 'Please lord, let it last at least a while, Joseph needs this' she silently prayed.

Kevin had heard enough and he decided Nick had as well.

He leaned in and whispered in his brother's ear.

"Still think we should tell him?" he asked and Nick jumped up.

"Don't do that bro and yes" he said, gently pushing him. Kevin sighed.

'There's just no getting through to this boy, why must my brothers be so damn stubborn' Kevin thought.

"Why Nick? He's happy" Kevin asked.

"You're making a big mistake Kevin"

"I am not Nicholas"

"What's going on?" Joe interrupted and both quieted.

"Nothing Joe, how was your date?" Kevin asked with a look at Nick. Joe noticed but said nothing.

"Something's going down between these two, I just hope their not in trouble' he thought.

"It was wonderful Kev, Becky is so sweet and nice and really really pretty" he said aloud.

Kevin smiled, but it was a weak smile. Just her name stung him. 'I have to be strong, my brothers happiness is more important' he told himself.

Kevin hated Joe dating Becky but he also hated hurting him.

'They did everything they could to help me get back Anya, what's the big deal if he dates a girl who I despise' he thought.

'My brothers are so dense, Kevin's hurting and Joe is oblivious, as usual, I'm glad I'm not like him when I date' Nick was thinking.

"I'm happy you found a great girl Joe" Nick said aloud, only half meaning it.

'You should dump her though and go back to Stella' he added but in his head.

Kevin smiled at him. 'Good job Nick, after all a JONAS rule is don't go back on your promise' he thought.

Joe nodded. "Well boys it's getting late and we got school tomorrow" he said and the three brothers got ready for bed.

As Nick pulled on his pajamas he couldn't help but wonder if he should write a song about Rebecca. 'It could shed some light and I keep my promise' he thought.

He went to bed with that thought and as he snuggled up he went through lyric choices.

Nicholas Lucas knew by morning it was a bad idea. It was like a sin to them to break their own rules. The JONAS book was made for them to obey not cheat.

There were other ways though. Ways he hadn't yet thought of. Like telling a friend. Strictly on accident of course.

The three boys walked into Horace Mantis Academy that Monday together as usual.

They went to their lockers and met with their two good friends, Stella Malone who was also their stylist and Macy Misa, their biggest fan who had now become a good friend.

"Hey guys" Macy greeted them cheerfully with her big smile showing off her really white teeth.

She was, as usual, carrying a sporting equipment, a basketball today which when she moved her hand to wave it fell on Kevin's foot.

"Oh! I'm so sorry" she cried out as usual as Kevin winced slightly from the pain.

"No problem Macy, least it wasn't a bowling ball again" Kevin said gently, all three being far too used to Macy's clumsiness often injuring one, two or all three of them.

Macy nodded and Kevin's frown vanished and his smile returned. He put his arm around the brunette.

"I mean it Mace, it's okay, I'm fine" Kevin said and Macy smiled again. The boys were far too forgiving but it made them even more lovable.

It was actually good Macy had injured Kevin because Joe and Stella were very uncomfortable standing so close to each other.

"So how was your weekend?" Stella asked when Macy and Kevin turned back to the group.

Her question was more focused at Nick and Kevin but Joe answered first anyway.

"It was wonderful, I met this girl who I can date and not argue with" he said and Stella narrowed her eyes.

"Well obviously she's a fan or she hasn't seen the real you, the arrogant jerk waiting to pop out" she shot back.

"Oh my god your such a child Malone, I am glad I have Becky and I hope nothing comes between us" Joe yelled.

"Oh, well fine then, I'm so happy for you and icky, I'll just date Van Dyke then, least he can throw like a man"

"Are you calling me a girl Ms. I can't even play hopscotch"

"Least…I didn't kill my home movies Mr. colander bowl"

Joe's eyes darkened. "You…." he said but he couldn't come up with anything that he could call her.

He knew words of course but no matter how mad he was he couldn't call any girl those names. Especially not the one who knew him almost all his life.

The bell then rung, saving Joe, and everyone had to go in separate directions except Macy and Nick who shared their first class together.

Nick waved to his brothers and started walking in the opposite direction to class and Macy walked beside him.

"Wow, can you believe how angry they are Nick?" she asked and Nick blinked.

"What?"

"You're not listening to me are you?" Macy asked and Nick shook his head.

"Of course I am Macy…uh what was the question again?" he asked and Macy walked away from him.

"If you want to be left to your thoughts all you had to was ask" she answered and Nick could hear the hurt.

He caught up to her and grabbed her arm.

"I'm sorry Macy, I didn't mean to ignore you" he apologized and to top it off gave her one of his rare smiles.

Macy gave in to it and repeated her question. Nick nodded as they continued their walk again.

"I wouldn't think too much of it Macy, I know Joe and he falls in and out of love quickly" Nick said.

Macy wasn't convinced.

"That didn't sound like the case to me, he's smitten" she argued.

Nick chuckled. "Trust me Mace, Becky is not a threat" he assured her.

"Least not if Joe finds out what she did" he mumbled and Macy stopped again but this time her eyes widened.

"She did something?" she said, a bit loudly and Nick put his hand over her mouth and shushed her.

"No of course not" he said and Macy lowered his hand.

"You just said she did, I have good hearing Nicholas" she argued. She then had a thought.

"Is that why Kevin was giving you that weird look?" she asked. Nick hadn't realized she had seen Kevin's look as they parted.

"I think you spent a little too much time with Joe the time your phone took those bad photo's of us" Nick said, hoping to drop the subject.

Macy was not to be deterred.

"You're avoiding the subject" she said.

Nick sighed, getting annoyed. 'And I thought Joe was annoying when he was playing detective' he thought.

"Look Macy, I promised Kevin I wouldn't say" he said and then groaned.

He began to walk backwards as Macy followed like a puppy wanting a treat its master had in its hands.

"Ah ha so there is something" Macy said triumphantly. She was wearing him down Nick realized and he had to run before he spilled.

"No…Macy…whatever Becky did…it's between her and Kevin" he said and then groaned again.

'Shut up Nick, can't you keep a secret' he scolded himself. Macy only grinned.

"Becky hurt Kevin? Come on Nick, you can't just leave me hanging" Macy cried as the warning bell rung.

Nick knew the next bell was the late bell and he turned and darted off. Macy kept up with him and both made it to the classroom together.

Nick was grateful she couldn't interrogate him any longer.

It didn't stop her from shooting his dirty looks though and Nick sighed.

'Why me, why am I always stuck in these messes?' he asked himself.

Ok long chapter but I'm having fun and I think I'm getting more into their characters this time. I'm trying to anyway but hey it's fiction its not supposed to be real.

Thanks for reading
