A/N: Whoa…. It's been, like, forever since I wrote for this. Anyway… I so think that "A Little Bit Longer" is gonna be an awesome album, so if a song or two shows up, I blame the JoBros for getting it stuck in my head. Haha.

Disclaimer (again): If I owned anything other than the plot, I'd be married to Joseph Adam Jonas or Paul Kevin Jonas II, have Nick and Frankie as my little brothers, be insanely rich, and be in Demi Lovato's place in Camp Rock.

So… I own nothing. 

Two weeks later

Oh. My. God.

I seriously did not just see that.

I can't have. Nick wouldn't do that… Would he? I mean, I am kind of plain. But she gets everybody else, why can't she just let me have this one thing for me?

After watching my amazing boyfriend of a month kiss my best friend, I ran to the beach in the rain. I love the rain, especially now, since no one's here to see me cry. I curled up under a huge flat rock the jutted out and left enough space for a shortish person to sit under.

I don't know how long I sat there until I felt my cell phone go off. I looked at the caller ID which read, "Nick Jonas" and hit ignore. He continued trying to call and I finally answered after the thirteenth call.

"What the hell do you want, Nicholas Jerry Jonas?" I snarled it out.

"I want to talk to you." His voice was shaking, like he'd been crying. "Please. I just… I… I need you, Lils." His voice was halting and slow, but I couldn't tell if it was a bad connection or just him talking.

"Nick, no. If you wanted to talk, you could have done it before you locked lips with Miley of all people." I was crying by the end of the sentence and tried hard to keep it out of my voice.

"Lilly! I'm sorry! But, I swear, I never meant to! I just got lost in the moment."

"What were you doing with her that caused you to get lost in the moment?" I paused for a second before continuing. "You know what, Nicholas? I don't want to hear it. I'm done. Good-bye." I hung up on him, crawled out from under the rock and walked home with mascara running down my cheeks.

The next day (Monday)

I woke up at six, got showered and dressed before grabbing my bag and Ipod and walking to school with Fall Out Boy's album "From Under The Cork Tree" playing. I was humming along with "Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner" when I ran into a familiar figure. I tried to walk around him so he didn't see my tears, but he grabbed my arm the second I lifted my foot.



I yanked out an earbud and asked in a dull, toneless voice, "What, Nick? Isn't it bad enough that you made out with Miley?" I spat out her name with more venom than I intended. "Do you have to rub it in?"

"Even if I was Nick, I wouldn't." I finally looked up and saw that it was Joe I bumped into rather than Nick.

"Joe! What are you doing here? You're two years out of high school." He smiled.

"I figured you might not want to see Nick right now, so I might have slipped in a sick excuse for you when visiting Nick in homeroom." I smiled. Joe could be so thoughtful at times.

"Sweet. What to do though?" I wondered. Joe just grinned before grabbing my hand and pulling me to his car. "Joe… Are you sure it's safe for you to drive?" I stuck my tongue out at him to show I was joking. He just grinned and unlocked the doors before motioning for me to climb in.

"How about we go to the movies? I really want to see Kung-Fu Panda!" He practically squealed like a little kid so I agreed and we were off.

An hour and a half later

We stumbled out of the dark theater, laughing incessantly.

"And then, when he did that finger hold and angled his finger right, and the leopard just kind of exploded into dust was just so COOL!" Joe was rambling on about how cool that was when "Welcome To The Black Parade" started playing, signaling that my father was calling. I picked it up.

"Yes, dad?"

"Lilly, you need to come home. Your mother's been in an accident." I was numb after that. I barely responded to my dad before turning to Joe and explaining as the tears started to fall. He nodded and drove me home.

A/N: I know it's sorta cliché and over done, but it'll be over with soon.  Remember two things, I own nothing, and REVIEW!
