"Joe?" I whispered trying to reawake him.
"Ugh…pl-e-a-s-e, go away, I need sleep!" he hesitated, so I shook him harder.
"JOE!"
"What?" he answered annoyed.
"Listen, Nick is dating Nicole!"
"Oh, NO, not good!"
"Wait, you know the Dei's?"
"Yeah, she's a real snob."
"Joe!" I smacked him.
"She's insane!"
I smacked him harder, "She's my cousin!"
"Oops, I'm sorry!" he laughed.
"Ok, yeah, she's a little crazy, but hey, so am I."
"Yeah, you are very strange."
"UGH!"
"I was kidding!" he laughed; I laughed with him. Then, there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Nick!" the voice outside answered.
"Oh, come in!" I stood up.
"We need to talk."
"Specify!"
"About Nicole, and Joe what are you doing here?"
Joe started to sweat, "Um…she was asking me how we know Nicole."
"Joe, stop, Nick we go back out. Ok, so what about Nicole?"
"She's um, how do I put this? Different."
"Good different, or bad?"
"She's horrible!"
"NICK!"
"What, she's, well, annoying."
"Nicolas Jerry Jonas!" I screamed, and then I started to pace back and fourth across the hard cherry wood floor.
"Brianna!" he screamed back, "help me!"
"With what?"
"I need you to break up with her for me."
I cocked an my eyebrow, "Excuse me? Did you just ask me to do your dirty work for you?"
"Um…yes…I'm sorry! But, please, I hate hurting people that I love, or in this case loved."
"Nick, no, this is all wrong! Why did you go out with her in the first place then?"
"I don't know, she was really cool, but I don't know, I still like her!"
"Nick stop confusing me! My brain hurts!"
"Ok, I like her, but I just can't get you off my mind. Every time I look at her I think of you! I guess because you two are related, I don't know."
"Nick you really need to move on. I'm not saying from her, but from me."
"You're right!"
"Good, and I know!" I raised my arms toward him, "hug?"
"Yes please." He mumbled racing towards me, arms out wide.
He yanked me up with the hug, and I heard him say, "I still like you."
"Nick, please." I tried to say, but was loosing breath.
"Oh sorry!"
I sighed, and let go of him, as he ran downstairs singing, "Nicole!"
"Wow, Nick doesn't know what to do with his love life."
"Either do I."
"What?" I said confused again.
"I think we should break up."
"Yeah, me too…um wait what?"
"I'm sorry, but it's just not the same anymore."
"I know but…" I sat next to him, "I love you."
"Yeah, I know babe, but I'm not feeling the same."
"Joe seriously?"
"Of course…" he sighed, "NOT!"
"Ugh, that wasn't funny."
"I know, but your facial expression when I did it was!" he laughed so hard he turned red.
"HA! So funny honey, not even a smidge."
"You know, Brianna?"
"What Joe?"
He grabbed both of my hands, and looked at me with love filled in his eyes. "I'm honestly really in love with you!"
"Aww…Joe, you know I feel the same."
"But…" he sighed, and then gave me his puppy dog eyes, "I need to ask you a serious question."
"Yes?"
"When we are old enough, and if we still feel this way about each other, will you marry me?"
"Oooooh, Joe, absolutely!"
"Awesome, I know there's a bit of an age difference, but age is just a number right?"
"Yeah, it is!" I laughed.
"I'm glad your cool with this whole thing!" he half smiled, and then kissed me.
"Joe?" I ruined the moment, "what if we don't feel this way?"
"Well, we'll just have to hope we do."
"Ok!"
"Oh, Brianna!" I heard Nicole coming up the stairs.
"Yes…Nicky…" she interrupted.
"HEY, don't you call me that!"
"Alright Coco."
"Brianna!"
"Oops, it slipped out…oh wait, no it didn't. I wanted to say it."
"You're so mean! Jk. Ily! Omg!"
"Ugh enough IM talk, you're killing me!" Joe whined.
"Oh, I wish our IM talk could kill you!" Nicole agreed.
"Stop it guys!" I yelled.
"Oh, sorry Joe, I thought a big boy like you could take a little girl talk. Oh, no wait, you aren't a big boy, you're a big baby!"
"Oh, so now you're going to take all your hate out on me?"
"Well, you broke up with me, and now so did your other brother."
"All you need is for the third to break your heart, but wait he'll just reject you like last time!" Joe teased her.
"Whoa, Nick broke up with you?" I asked.
"Yup, because of some other girl."
"Ugh, Nick!" I mumbled to myself.
"Yeah, well Nicole I don't hate your guts…I just hate you!"
"Oh really?!" Nicole got up in Joe's face.
"Yeah, I wish you were dead!"
"Well, I wish you were never born!" Nicole shouted.
"Yeah, well, I love you!" Joe screamed, while grabbing Nicole and kissing her.
"Well, I hate you more!" Nicole sighed while kissing him back.
"Oh my…STOP IT!!!" I yelled in astonishment.
