Chapter 14

Nick's POV

We got to the mall and saw the whole gang waiting for us at the entrance. They immediately rushed to us when we got out of the car and the usual welcome/hug fest started.

"Hey guys" greeted Sterling

"Hey" we retorted

We went in and debated on where to go first.

"How about here?" suggested Bella pointing to a Abercrombie and Fitch store

We looked at each other and shrugged. Bella led us in and we all started browsing for our own things. We actually bought some cool clothes and spent some time being ourselves and trying on crazy stuff.

"Where to now?" asked Chelsea holding some bags when we were done

"Urban Outfitters?" asked Nicole

We all agreed and headed to the store. Soon after we were spilt up. Chelsea, Demi, Sterling and Stephen went to more clothing stores while Kevin, Danielle, Joe, Nicole, Bella, Me and Selena went to check out the music store.

Bella's POV

We were walking browsing every store we pass to get to the music store. Just then I saw something that made me stop in my tracks and groan.

My brothers and friends saw me stop and were curious. "What's up?" asked Kevin

I tried to make them or at least Joe and Nicole from looking in my direction, but it failed. Soon everyone glared daggers at Joe's ex Camilla and her posse Rena and Lauren talking. When they caught a glimpse of us they smirked.

I looked at Joe's angry face and Nicole's uncomfortable face and whispered. "I'll do the talking."

They looked at me worried. "Are you sure?" asked Joe

I nodded reassuringly and instructed six nervous people to just keep walking. They did and sure enough we could hear Camilla's annoying voice.

"Hi Joe"

I motioned for all of them to stop and they did still curious. As if expected the hooker walked up with her friends. I stifled a snicker at how flirtatious she was trying to be and readied myself.

She stopped, caught a glimpse of Joe's company and sneered. "Oh, I see you brought the whole crew."

They nodded uncertainly and it was time for action. I smiled my sweetest smile and said "Why Camilla it's so good to see you again. How's your life going?"

I could feel confused faces looking at me and I brushed them off.

Lauren sneered at me. "Cut the act pipsqueak"

I looked innocent. "What ever do you mean? I'm just trying to be a nice person after what I heard on the news?"

Just then the confused turned to curious.

"What news?" scoffed Camilla

I smiled. "Oh how could you not hear? It's everywhere. 'Famous Jonas Brother dumps Video Girl bitch for someone more prettier and smarter'"

The bitches were speechless and I turned around to see proud faces. I looked at Joe and I swear I've never seen him more happy and smiling.

"You think you're so funny do ya?" asked Rena scowling

"Who said I'm being funny?" I asked innocently "I may have inherited Joe's humor, but I also got Nick's seriousness."

I heard stifled laughs behind me and I smiled.

"Listen you brat" started Camilla gaining on me

"No you listen," I said turning threatening "Stay away from my brother and my friends or I'll bite your head off."

They looked really stunned and stormed off.

I turned around only to be engulfed in a tight, bone-crushing hug.

Kevin, Nick and my other friends laughed at my taken aback face at being tightly hugged by my nineteen year old brother.

"I love you," he said tightening his grip on me

I rolled my eyes, flattered for the affection, but not really liking the dramatic state. "Joe, I love you too, but…"

Then I whispered in his ear, but it sounded like it came out of a megaphone.

"GET OFF OF ME!"

He was thrown back a little and I smirked.

"Thanks, but the next time you hug me. Do it like a normal person" I advised

He smiled

"But that was so good" remarked Selena smiling

"She got what was coming to her" added Danielle smiling

Nicole came up to me smiling and hugged me not as tight as Joe's.

"You were so brave" she whispered

I smiled and we pulled apart.

"How'd you learn to do that?" inquired Nick

"Uh, duh I grew up with three older brothers" I replied matter-of-factly

The girls laughed and my brothers smirked.

"Well, you deserve a treat," stated Kevin "You can buy whatever you want at the music store."

I smiled and jumped on Joe's back. "Onward!"

My friends and brothers laughed and Joe carried me to the store. Security didn't catch us thank god and when we got there I jumped off and browsed CDs. The others laughed at my attitude and joined me.

"Ooh can we get this?" I asked playfully, holding a Lines, Vines and Trying Times CD

The girls laughed while my brothers looked at me curiously. "Why?" asked Joe

I smiled then acted like a teenage girl. "Well, duh! The Jonas Brothers are soo hot."

The girls laughed again and decided to play with me. "Oh yeah, totally" agreed Selena "I mean, they're music is awesome."

"I know right?" asked Nicole smiling

"So unbelievable" added Danielle

I burst out laughing when I saw my brothers' freaked out faces. I pointed to their faces on the CD. "Look at this. I mean, total cuteness."

The girls agreed smiling and my brothers still looked freaked out.

"You know I'm just kidding about buying this right?" I asked

They came back to Earth. "Uh…totally" said Nick

"Uh-huh" said Kevin

"Yeah" replied Joe

I smiled and we browsed the CDs.

"You wanna have lunch?" asked Kevin when we left

We all nodded and walked to the food court. We got food from Applebee's and a HUGE table with Demi, Chelsea, Sterling and Steven.

"Hey" greeted Demi smiling

"Hey" we all said taking a seat

We all ate and filled them in on what happened with Camilla to which they were surprised and happy.

"Oh my god, you really did that?" asked Chelsea

I smiled nodding. "Yep"

"You got guts kid" stated Steven

I shrugged "Hey, she's messing with the wrong people."

They smiled and we kept eating with chatter and laughter. I figured out the party would be at 7 and at Selena's house. It was 2:00 when we left having bought all our clothes and we decided to hang out at our house for the afternoon before the party.
