In six days Nick had been given the silent treatment by pretty much everybody except Kevin. But even Kevin seemed to talk to Nick differently. Whenever Nick went to talk to Stella, Joe, and oddly enough even his own parents and Frankie, all they'd say back was either "yes, no, or yeah" . It was like they were in on something that he had could not know about. Something else odd was that Macy wasn't around anymore. She'd missed 3 consecutive days of school then she came back for one day then she missed the last day of the week. And even when she was at school she and Stella spent all their time together, it did help they had most of their classes together. Plus, Stella was calling Joe every night and Nick could hear that Stella was crying.

Monday morning didn't start out sluggish like usual. In fact it started at 4 in the morning in a flurry of activity. Nick was shoved out of bed and at first he was going to yell at his brothers because he was worried what their mom would say, as she hated early morning wake ups. Only instead of his brothers faces he saw the red hair and soft smile of his mom.

"Mom, what's going on? It's like four in the morning." Nick tried to pull himself off of the floor but his stiff muscles wouldn't bug. His mom crouched down next her second youngest son and stroked his bed matted hair.

"Honey I know. Will you please get dressed quickly? We have to get to the airport." His mom helped him up and Nick was so confused he just pulled on a sweatshirt over his t-shirt and sweatpants over his shorts. He dropped his Adidas soccer sandals down the fire pole then followed them down only to discover his whole family looking tired standing next to the door. His mom was the only one not wearing sweatpants. He silently followed his family out of the house into the cold early morning air and climbed into the car. Frankie sat in front in between his parents while the 3 oldest buys sat close in the back. Nobody had talked since Nick's mom woke him up so Nick was eager to discover why the family was going to the airport.

"What's going on?" Joe started fiddling with his ring and Kevin stared out of the window. Mr. Lucas was staring out the windshield looking serious and Frankie was slouched against him mom obviously sleeping. His mom looked at him in the rearview mirror and turned in her seat to face Nick.

"If none of you are going to tell him then I will." She said to the car. Nick stayed silent.

"Sweetie, we're going to see Macy and her Dad off at the airport. Since Macy has obviously not spoken to you in weeks you don't know what's been going on. Macy's dad left when she was 11. Her mom never filed for divorce because she just didn't think it was necessary. Now Macy's dad is threatening to file for divorce and he wants his daughter to come with him. To Greece. Macy's mother has done everything to keep custody of her daughter but Mr. Misa is a big time business owner and he has lawyers and everything plus, Macy's mom doesn't have the cleanest record. So Macy's leaving in 2 hours and she's not coming back for the next couple months. So Stella's mom and I are going to leave with Macy's mom, on a flight to Bermuda, after Macy's flight departs, we're just going for a couple weeks so Ms. Misa can get some time to try to adjust to this tremendous life change. Sweetie, it's a terrible feeling when your child leaves you. It's even worse when your child will probably not be coming back for some time." Nick had never heard his mother's voice so powerful and soft at one time. Once she finished speaking Nick connected the dots in his head.

Macy hadn't been coming to school because she was sad. Stella had been spending all that time with Macy because Stella was going to miss her. Stella had been calling Joe in tears because Stella would miss the only real best friend she'd ever had. Joe and Kevin had been disappearing after school until 8 o clock every night because they were with Macy. The luggage Nick hadn't noticed in the truck until that moment was there for his mom. His mom had also been on the phone a lot recently why? Because she had been talking to Macy and Stella's moms. Nobody had been ignoring him. They were all just too preoccupied with Macy's life change. Well, except Macy. She'd been ignoring him.

The group pulled up to New Jersey National Airport in silence. Nick was just thinking about everything. Macy would no longer be around. Nick had just always pictured Macy being there. He just wasn't sure what exactly would happen after everything went its course. Most likely Stella would become depressed. Joe would probably not be happy every day. Kevin might put on a show for everybody. He'd be happy in front of people but once he was alone he'd probably break down and cry. Nick's parents loved having Macy and Stella around. And Stella probably wouldn't want to see anyone without her best friend. This was all too much for Nick to handle. His breathing felt short and his throat felt dry. He didn't know his eyes welled up with tears until his mom pulled him to her chest. He'd been so conflicted he hadn't realized the family was standing in the middle of the security checkpoint.

Because they were JONAS, security let them go to the gate. Ms. Lucas held Nick's hand and the boy had never felt so drained before. His stomach felt heavy and empty at the exact same time. His brother s had started crying but they weren't wiping them away like Nick was. They all took seats in terminal 5E. This terminal was Macy's. A couple minutes later they heard loud crying and spotted Macy and her mom holding hands. Ms. Misa looked like a model even with her face drenched in tears. Macy also looked stunning but she wasn't crying. They sat next to the family and Sandy (Mrs. Lucas) gravitated to Rosa (Ms. Misa). Macy sat next to Joe and as if triggered by a magician, Macy's face was pouring in tears. Stella appeared with Bethany (Mrs. Malone) a couple minutes later. If a stranger had been walking by they would probably be shocked by the amount of crying.

Time seemed to stop for everyone. Nick watched his father stare at Frankie while Frankie was slept on his dad's lap. His mom was crowded with Bethany and Rosa and Joe, Kevin, Stella and Macy were all crying on each other's shoulders. Nick was the only one not looking or talking to someone. The moments in every group was broken up when a man appeared around the corner.

"Macy! Princess!" The man called. Nick guessed this man was Macy's father. He was huge. Not fat but built, like a UFC fighter. He was so tall, that when Macy raced up to him she looked so small next to him. This huge man took in all the crying people and kissed his daughter on the cheek before whispering something in her ear. Nick wondered why Macy was happy to see her dad. Wouldn't she be mad? Nick's curiosity got the best of him. He grabbed Macy's hand and pulled into a set of the uncomfortable airport waiting chairs a little away from the group.

"Macy, are you happy about leaving?" Macy seemed to forget how mad she was at him shrugged.

"Sort off. I haven't spent time with my dad in almost 5 years. I missed him so much. But I'm going to miss my mom so much. I mean I'll be able to call her and all. But it'll be weird to not see her every day. She'll be allowed to come over holidays but it'll be different." Macy brushed her hair from her eyes and looked at Nick.

"You know Macy, I never got to apologize. I'm not a friend and I'm sorry that I never got a chance to be."

"I'm not dying. I'm just going to another continent. We can still talk. Joe says we're kind of alike so I expect you to call me when I get there." Macy smiled while one tear slide down the front of her cheek. Nick reached out and wiped it away. It amazed him that Macy was so okay with forgiving him. She was probably just trying to leave on a good note.

"Of course." At least that's what he thought that's what she was trying to do. He didn't realize that Macy had leaned over. He just felt her lips placed on his. She tasted soft and her skin felt sticky from the dried tears.

"I've just really wanted to do that." Macy whispered against his lips. Nick once again didn't know what to think. He figured the reason he always pictured Macy in his life was because maybe he liked her. Maybe. That's why after she said that he kissed her again.

At precisely 5:25 the flight began boarding and because of Macy's dad connections they were in first class. That made saying goodbye even harder because even after Macy left the group would have to stare at the plane for 15 minutes while it boarded everybody else. Still at 5:35, the plane's doors closed and the group watched as Macy left New Jersey. It was depressing but in a way Nick was feeling slightly happy. He knew him and Macy weren't angry at each other anymore. He also knew Macy and him were something, something more than friends. And he also knew something about Macy Misa. He knew that she liked him and that was all he needed to know.

The End. This was sort of depressing, at least to me. Was that a happy ending? Maybe. Anyway, I hope that was what you guys wanted. Or at least you guys didn't hate it. Thanks for reading this. (: Please leave a review. Please. Tell me whether it was something you liked. (:
