Apparently my screaming was louder than I had initionally thought because through my window I saw the three boys staring at the house. After I screamed my fill, I ran outside to the front lawn.

“JONIE BOYS!!!!!!!!” I yelled to them across the street.

Three confused faces stared back at me, probably wondering who the maniac from across the street was but then it dawned on them who I really was.

“ TESS-NESS!!!!!!!!” my three favorite boys yelled right back.

They ran over to me and I was given the biggest , longest, and best hugs ever imaginable.

~Flashback~

“I’ll miss you Jonie Boys” I cried to the three retreating backs that were walking to a large and official looking SUV. My 14 year old body was racked with sobs as I watched my best friends walk away from me and practically out of my life. One by one, each head looked back at me like a ripple effect, with sorrowful eyes.

“ We’ll miss you too Tessa Bo Bessa” said Joe giving me a big hug. Never in my life had I’d seen him so serious. Nick then gave me an equally large hug and whispered a “Never forget us” into my ear. Lastly, Kevin gave me a long, meaningful hug and a kiss on the forehead. I was so close to him that I literally thought him my brother.

Ever since I was born, Nick, Kevin, Joe, and I were inseparable. Their parents were mine. My parents were their’s. When my mother died they were all there for me and my dad. The whole Jonas clan, including tiny Frankie. The boys were just as devastated when she died, as if losing their own mother.

We coped together, and everything was bearable again. Until my very own support system left me.

They were now the Jonas Brothers. Nick 14, Joe 17, and Kevin 19. They were leaving me like my mother had. They kept in touch after that sad parting day . But as they got more famous, our contact dwindled to almost nothing.

~End Flashback~

We all stepped back from each other, taking in our different appearances. I had changed so much from the young girl they left behind years before. Now, 4 years later, I stood at an average height of 5’5’. My originally butt length black hair was now honeyed blonde and just above shoulder length. My emerald green eyes were as bright as the glaring sun on our backs. And my how these boys grew. Nick’ hair was curlier and longer than I had remembered. He was also way taller than I had remembered. Kevin’s hair was also ten times curlier and longer and were those … sideburns?! Joe’s hair was straight and long too. We all just stood there silently grinning at each other until Frankie ran up to me.

“Who are you?” he asked.

I felt like I was going to cry right then and there.

How could my little Frankie not remember me?

Joe leaned over and whispered something to Frankie. Realization spread over his small face.

“ Tessy-Wessy?”

Oh the wonderful nicknames. How they have been missed.

“Frank the Tank how could you ever forget me?!” I said .

He jumped into my arms and I hugged him like there was no tomorrow.
