Okay, so this took me longer to update than I wanted it too, but I was kinda stuck with this chapter. Hopefully it turned out alright.

Enjoy.

Nick felt Blakes's hands loosen slightly on his throat as he heard Kevin yell, but a moment later they were back full force. Nick struggled to pull air into his lungs but couldn't manage it. He saw black spots dancing in front of his face and just when he thought he was going to pass out, Blake let go and Nick slid to the floor, rubbing his neck.

He could already feel the bruising as he coughed violently. He heard something break and he snapped his head up to see Blake laying on the floor, what used to be Joe's chair underneath him. Kevin rushed to Nick, gripping the sides of his face in his hands.

"You okay Nick J?"

Nick nodded, then shook his head suddenly, "Joe."

Kevin immediately let go of Nick and turned around. He saw Cane and Joe struggling, throwing punches and shouting at each other. Kevin could tell from the way that Joe was moving that he didn't have much fight left in him.

Cane looked up and noticed his son hadn't gotten up. He shoved Joe ruffly to the ground and ran to Blake. As he did so, Kevin helped Nick to his feet and they made their way over to Joe.

Joe had his arms wrapped around his stomach, trying to protect himself from the pain. His eyes were shut tightly, his breathing didn't come easy. He jumped slighty when he felt a hand touch his shoulder.

"It's okay Joe, it's just me," Kevin said gently, trying to keep his attention on Joe while still watching out for Cane.

"Kevin?" Joe opened his eyes slightly and relief washed over him as he saw that he was staring into the eyes of his big brother.

"Yeah Joseph, everything's gonna be fine."

Joe relaxed, thankfull that it was Kevin saying it to him with confidence and not himself saying it to Nick with uncertainty anymore. He tried to sit up but a gentle hand on his shoulder kept him still.

"Don't try to move okay? I'm gonna call for help." He pulled out his cell phone and was about to call the police when an angry voice called out to him.

"Put the phone down. Now!" Kevin looked into the face of the man who hurt his family and felt nothing but pure rage. He wanted this man to suffer.

He pressed the 9.

Cane stood up, clenching his fists, "Don't you dare or you'l regret it."

Kevin stood up, placing himself in between Cane and his brothers.

He pressed the 1.

Cane ran at him.

Kevin pressed the last number and threw the phone to Nick, as Cane tackled him to the ground. Nick caught the phone and hit the talk button. He pushed himself closer to Joe as he raised the phone to his ear.

"911, what is your emergency?"

"Me and my brothers were kidnapped, you have to help us!" Nick yelled into the reciever.

"Okay son, calm down, can you tell me where you are?"

"I don't know the address, but it's on Briar Street. Please hurry," he looked at Joe who was coughing again. "My brother's in really bad shape."

"Okay, we're gonna trace your call, we'l send help immediately."

"Thank you," Nick hit end and dropped the phone to the floor. He looked to where Cane and Kevin were fighting. It looked like something out of a movie.

Nick couldn't help but think that their martial arts training for their J.O.N.A.S. show had come in handy. Nick had no idea that Kevin could hit so hard.

Kevin put his anger behind every punch, every kick, he threw Cane's way. Cane hit hard, but Kevin knew he was getting the upper hand. It had surprised him how fast he had taken out Blake. He guessed that Blake had hit his head when he fell through the chair. He could tell already that Joe must have tired Cane out somewhat.

Nick was startled when he saw a blur cross his vision.

"Dad we gotta get outta here. The little one called the cops!" Cane looked up at his son, and his distraction was rewarded with a punch to the jaw by the eldest Jonas.

Cane grunted and delivered the hardest shove he could muster to Kevin. He struggled to his feet, with help from Blake, and they made their way to the door. Blake pushed the door open and they walked out.

Cane turned around and glared at all 3 Jonas's,"This isn't over."

Nick gulped, Kevin glared, and Joe just focused on breathing.

Cane and Blake disappeared and a moment later the sound of an engine starting could be heard. They were gone.

Kevin got to his feet and stumbled over to Joe and Nick. He had a bloody nose and his left eye was starting to swell, but other than that he seemed okay.

"How's he doin?" Kevin asked Nick softly, staring at Joe.

Nick didn't respond. He just put a comforting hand on Joe's shoulder.

Joe started coughing again, his face lined with pain. Nick winced as he saw blood come out of the corner of his mouth.

"Joe? It's okay man," Kevin tried to comfort his little brother. They could hear the sirens.

Joe felt as if he had been run over. Everything hurt. All he knew was that his little brother was safe and that their was no reason for him to stay awake anymore. It hurt to much.

"No. Stay with us Joe. Don't fall asleep!" Kevin yelled as he saw Joe's body relax, his eyes closing.

Nick had tears in his eyes, but they could hear help coming. It was going to be okay. It had to be okay.

Joe opened his eyes slightly, "It hurts Kevin, I just wanna sleep."

Kevin let his tears fall freely down his face. He couldn't stand seeing his brother like this.

"I know Joe, but you gotta stay awake. Please."

Joe winced as he tried to take in a better breath. His began to close again.

"Joe," Nick said softly. "You promised me you'd be okay, remember?"

Joe didn't respond, he just listened to his little brother's voice. It soothed him, knowing he was okay.

"You promised me!" Nick cried, his voice breaking. "Please Joe, stay awake. For me?"

Joe opened his eyes, "Now that's just cruel kid."

Nick smiled slightly, he had hoped that would work. "Anything to keep you with us."

Kevin heard a door slam and knew the police and the paramedics had arrived. He got up and walked to the door.

"In here!" he yelled.

Nick toward the door as a stretcher was brought inside. Kevin led them over to where they were seated. Nick looked back at Joe, thankful help had finally come.

"See Joe it's gonna be alr," he stopped mid sentence. Joe wasn't awake anymore. Nick felt his heart begin to race.

"Joe!" Nick shook him slightly. "Joe!" He didn't respond.

Strong arms pulled him away. Two EMTs began working on Joe. Nick didn't understand anything they were saying. He ran into Kevin's arms and cried into his shoulder.

Nick and Kevin watched as their brother, their everything, was lifted onto the stretcher.

Tell me what you think please.

I'd love to hear it.
