(here we go)
BRACE YOURSELVES!


"Nicky, its gunna be okay." I swear I heard Kevin speaking, but all I could concentrate on was trying to hold in my insides and not let myself throw up again. I hoped we got there in time. I didn't want to die. I wanted to live for a longtime, with Kevin. Oh god…I hadn't realized how truly in love I am…if I could adopt children, marry…all for Kevin I would! He was my life…

"Kevin…" I whispered as I began to fade into unconsciousness. I was in Joe's arms now and I knew this was not the end, never the end.

"Kevin's already inside, kid, let's just.." I heard the pause in my brother's voice and it made me worry. "Let's just get you inside okay?"

I nodded; trying to use any strength left to cling to Joe and not fall from his arms as he locked the car and carried me through the parking lot and to the doors of the hospital.

"Excuse me sir, can I help you?"

"I'm looking for my older brother, he's signing my younger brother here in." The nurse opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Kevin running over to us.

"Is he signed in?"

"Yeah, I just filled out some paper work, how is he?" I tried to open my eyes as Kevin's voice came into my hearing range. I just wanted to see his angelic face in my eyes but my energy was fading and I let out a few more coughs.

"He's not good, Kevin…"

Joe's arms held me tighter to his chest as he walked over to the waiting area. Almost immediately a doctor came in and walked up to us.

"Nicholas Jonas?"

"That's him." Kevin got up and told him about my condition. I couldn't believe how calm he was trying to be. But I noted his slight panicked tone as he continued on and Joe carried me down the halls of the hospital to a room where I was left alone, fading into darkness.

When I woke up, I felt a small pressure on my right hand and opened my eyes slowly. There he was…the love of my life holding my hand, asleep in a hospital chair with his head resting on the bed. He was so beautiful.

I could only smile as I watched his angelic sleeping form at my side. I hardly looked up as I heard the door open and Joe entering the room.

"Hey." He said softly, noticing Kevin sleeping still. "How are you feeling, kiddo?"

I took in a small breath and shut my eyes.

"Like shit…" I croaked. My throat was dry, and I instantly looked around for some water. Joe beat me to it and moved to the other side of the bed handing me a glass of water with a straw and I greedily drank the contents down.

"Better?"

"Little." I sighed. "Did you get any news?"

"Not yet, they did some tests…okay a lot of tests…" Joe paused, making sure I was not gunna pass out on him. I nodded for him to continue, my eyelids heavy. "They've been a few hours…we haven't heard anything, but mom and dad were here, we told them we would call if there was news."

I nodded.

Of course there was no news yet, this was an effing hospital since when are they fast?

"At least Aileen came by an distracted me for a short while." I saw his gleam and rolled my eyes slightly. Honestly, he could be near death and still get some. "I really love her Nick."

"Pardon?" Had I just heard that correctly? "Did you get into the hospital meds?"

"What?" He looked at me, taken aback and was about to respond when the door opened.

"Ah, your awake…good." The doctor stepped in and looked through the charts and stood at the end of the bed.

"News?" Joe asked, eagerly.

"Uh, yes…but…"

"But?" Joe's tone held a slightly dangerous tone; I shook my head at him. He wasn't going to attack the doctor…not until I find out what's wrong with me.

"Nicholas…your kidney is failing." He waited for a response…but both Joe and me were still. My heart beat increasing as I hope it didn't mean what I thought it did.

"W-what does that mean?"

"He's dying…if he doesn't have it removed and replaced…he's going to die."
