"You guys still want us to take it out?" Leslie asked. "Give us a few minutes." Kevin said running out the door, followed closely by Nick. They went to the living room to see if Joe was sitting in there trying to clear his head but, he was nowhere in sight. Kevin decided to check some of the rooms upstairs. They entered and re-entered a few rooms before they found Joe sitting on the middle of the floor in a bedroom. They slowly walked over to him and each took a seat next to him. "Hey." Nick said looking at his brother. Joe didn't look up, but he did acknowledge that they had entered the room, with a nod. Kevin was about to speak, being the best at this type of thing, but he was cut off by the youngest of the three speaking. "Joe, we get what you are trying to say, it's just, okay, you say you put Lily's happiness before anything else, don't you think she's happy with you?" Nick asked his brother. "Not if she has to go through that." Joe said finally looking up. "To tell you the truth Joe, I don't think you're worried about Lily at all, you know she's going to be okay, even after going through that." Nick continued. Joe just looked at his brother, confused. "I think this is all about you, its not that you're scared that it will hurt her, because you know she's been through it before, you can't stand to see her like that, so vulnerable, and all that other stuff. You're afraid of what you might do, if you hear her screaming. But, most of all, you're upset with yourself, that when she starts screaming, the only way to stop it, is to be okay with her forgetting you." Nick stopped and looked at his brother. Joe looked up at the ceiling, to avoid eye contact with any of his brothers. "Actually, right now, the thing im upset at, is the fact that you're so smart, you're right, I don't think I can handle seeing her so hurt, and I know I can't be without her anymore." He said the last piece as if he was trying to hold back pain. "So now, it's up to you, think about whether you think she'll be happier not knowing you, or if she'll be happier to be with you." Kevin said, feeling kind of out of the loop.

Joe looked at both of his brothers. They could sense that he was torn between the two. He wasn't quite sure what was best for her, but he knew either way, he would feel some sort of pain. He knew which option would cause him the most pain, but he didn't know which option would cause her the most pain. Joe left his brothers alone, so that he could think clearly. Joe looked around at the stuff in the room. A skateboard in the corner, a few books on the shelf, and a lot of CD's, an IPOD and clothes strewn across the bed. Joe chuckled under his breath. All of these things were which made him realize that this was Lily's room in the first place. He moved towards the book shelf. He hadn't ever noticed what her favorite book genre was. In the pile of books, he noticed a light blue book, with a gold line going across the side. He picked it up and read the title. The words "Lily's diary" Were written across the top in Lily's neat cursive handwriting. He smiled to himself remembering back in seventh grade, when he would have her write for him. He reached for the latch and opened it, even though he knew he shouldn't. He just had to be sure of how she felt about him. He opened the book and read the first page. He laughed at what it had written on it. "Joe I know you're reading this so… GET OUT OF MY DIARY …PERV!" He put his hand over his mouth as he re-read what it said. He turned to the next page. "I know you're still reading this." He smiled to himself as he turned the page again. "Okay, the next page is when I actually start writing my diary. I know you're gonna read it so, just turn the page." He laughed again and flipped to the next page.

Dear diary,

Today, Joe and I decided to go to the park. We really just wanted to spend some time alone. He made a really nice picnic. I don't usually get excited over stuff like this but, he's just so amazing. If we didn't move back over here, I don't know what I would have done. I feel like I can't live without him and that kind of scares me. I never ever needed somebody like I need him. I never ever wanted to need somebody. The thing that scares me the most though, is that I think if he ever left, I would fall into some sort of deep depression. To put this in simpler words, I'm in love with him.

The diary went on to explain the rest of the day, but he closed it. He had found exactly what he was looking for. He put the diary back where he got it from and walked out of the room. He noticed his brothers weren't in the living room, so he figured they might have gone back into the lab. He walked up to the door, but stopped when he heard yelling. He pressed his ear up against the door, so that he could make out what they were saying.

"We need a decision now. They could wake up any second, and then faint again. I don't think fainting is that good for health." He heard Cody say. "Don't worry, Joe should be here soon and I'm sure he knows the right decision." Kevin reassured them. "Whatever you say dude." He heard Leslie say kind of quietly. Joe decided since the conversation had died a little, he should walk in. Everybody turned towards him expecting an answer. "What are you looking at me for? Don't you have an operation to do?" He asked smiling.

I wonder if I can come up with any thing else to prolong the ending of this story. I guess I should end it, so I can work on my other series but, I just love this so much lol. Any way, hope you enjoyed this chapter and thanks to everyone! :D
