Chapter 1
“Hurry up you guys, we’re running late,” I hollered upstairs to my roommates. We, Amanda, Brianna, Katy, and I were getting together with my best friend and his brothers for a late September barbeque. We were supposed to be at my best friend’s house within the next 5 minutes, and it was a good 20 minute car drive. I walked over to the couch in the living room and plopped down, letting a sigh escape my lips. I looked over to my right and stared at the curled up figure of a sixteen year old girl who staring at the TV.
“Are you sure you don’t want to come with us, Bekah?” I ran my hand over her dirty blond hair. “You know Kevin and Joe would love to see you, and Frankie too.”
“But he’ll be there with her.” She replied keeping her eyes glued to the TV.
“Bek, I’m really starting to worry about you. It’s been over three months now and you still haven’t said a word about happened. It’s not healthy to keep it all bottled up inside for so long,” I said my voice full of concern. She said nothing and continued to stare at the TV. “Alright…fine. I won’t press you on the subject anymore right now. Just…if you won’t talk about it with me or your sister, please find someone you can talk to. We all miss happy, cheery Bekah.”
“Is she still being all mopey?” Amanda, Bekah’s older sister and my roommate, said walking up behind us.
“Yeah.” I said standing back up.
“I swear, when we get to the Jonas’ house, I’m going to give Nick a piece of my……” Amanda hissed in a low voice.
“Amanda,” I interrupted her.
“Sorry,” she aplolgized, “ I just….I hate seeing her like this.”
“I know, I do too, but we don’t know what happened, so we can’t put the blame on Nick…at least not yet anyway.” I sighed again and peaked at the clock on my cell phone. I was just about to open my mouth to holler to the other girls when I heard them skip down the stairs.
“Sorry, we’re ready to go now,” Brianna and Katy both said.
“Well what are waiting for? Vamos Muchachas!” I smiled, and we headed outside and piled into my little white Nissan Sentra. 20 minutes later we pulled up to the Jonas’ beautiful home. We piled back up and walked up to the front door. I tapped on the door. It opened a few seconds later revealing a tall, dark brown haired guy. Amanda brushed past me and jumped into his arms.
“Heh, hey babe.” He pecked her on the lips. “It’s good to see you too,”
“I’ve missed you, Greg,” Amanda buried her face in his chest.
“Come on, I know there are some crazy musicans that really want to see you guys,” Greg, or Garbo as the rest of us knew him as, gave us all one armed hugs as he let us in. We all made our way to the backyard, where everyone else was. I had barley taken two steps out into the backyard when I saw a tall figure dart towards me at a sprint. The next thing I know I’m hugged so tightly I can hardly breatne and my feet are lifted off the ground as I’m twirled around in a circle.
“KATIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Joe screamed as he spun me around. “I’ve missed you so much.”
“I’ve missed you too, Joe” I laughed. He set me down a moment later. I smiled as his brothers walked over.
“Well look what the cat dragged in,” Kevin joked as he pulled me into a hug. I slapped his arm. “Aww, you know I love you Katie,”
“UH huh,” I laughed as I hugged him. I noticed Amanda and Garbo walked over to us, and she had a bit of a glare on her face. I followed her glare and noticed Nick been joined by a petite brunette.
“Hey Nick,” I smiled, giving him a hug as well.
“Hey Katie, glad you came. This is Selena, my um..my girlfriend,” he said introducing her, giving me a ‘please be nice’ look.
“Ah, I thought you looked familiar. It’s nice to meet you,” I said sweetly. We shook hands.
“Yeah, it’s nice to finally put a face to the name. They talk about you all the time.” She smiled.
“All good things I hope” I looked at Joe and Kevin raising my eyebrows.
“Oh yeah, of course. Nothing but good things,” Joe said smirking. I shook my head slightly.
“Oh Joseph, just remember I have a few stories of my own that I could share, you know, involving lipstick and nail pol…..” I began to say but was stopped by a hand clapped over my mouth.
“Yeah, I have no idea what you are talking about Katie, so, moving on. Hey I know, let’s go see how much longer the grillin’ is gonna take,” he saidm keeping his hand over my mouth as he pulled me off towards where his dad was manning the barbeque. Once we were far enough away from the others Joe removed his hand from my mouth. I shoved him lightly. I noticed Denise was standing next to Kevin Sr., so I walked over to them to say hello.
“Katie, hi. I didn’t realize you were here. We’re so glad you were able to come.” She said wrapping me in a warm, motherly hug.
“I wouldn’t miss this for the world, you know that,” I smiled.
“Of course,” she smiled back. Kevin Sr. gave me a smile as well.
“I’d hug you too, but well,” he trailed off, holding up the grilling spatula in his hand.
“That’s okay, Mr. Jonas,” I laughed, “we’ll just save it for later.”
“Deal,” I nodded. I looked back at Denise who was checking things on the table.
“Hey Kevin,” she motioned for her oldest son to come over to her.
“Yeah, mom?” Kevin approached his mom.
“Would you be willing to run to the store for me? There’s still a couple of things we need.” She asked him.
“Sure, no problem.” He smiled and nodded as she told him what to get. He turned and started to make his way towards the house to get the keys to his commander. I turned and whispered something to Joe who nodded and headed over to where everyone else was while I jogged over to Kevin.
“Want some company?” I asked.
“Sure, I’d love some,” he smiled. We went inside so he could grab his keys and then we headed to the grocery store.
