One of my first fics I ever wrote, let me know what you think. By the way this story is a prequel to one of my chapter stories that I will post later. Enjoy.

 

Title: Kevin’s Choice

Disclaimer: I own nothing

 

 

     Twelve year old Kevin Jonas was beyond happy. He had just gotten an A on a pop quiz in Science and he was now going to go home and get ready for his best friend’s birthday party. David was two years older then Kevin but they had met at camp one summer and had been best friends ever since. Kevin looked at his wrist watch, he had to wait for his ten year old brother at the school doors before he could go home. He knew that their mom and picked up their other brother seven year old Nick at noon to go to a meeting for his new Broadway show, this time it was Beauty and the Beast.  Kevin reached the doors and looked around, there were a lot of kids by the doors but no sign of Joe.

 

     “Oh well, he should be here any time,” Kevin said to himself leaning against the wall.

 

     Fifteen minutes went by and there was still no sign of Joe, Kevin sighed and looked at his watch again shaking it and holding it to his ear to make sure it hadn’t stopped.

 

     “Where is he? He knows I need to get home today,” Kevin thought to himself as the hallway emptied quickly. Within another five minutes Kevin was standing alone in the hallway.

 

     Now that it was quiet Kevin could hear something, or more like someone.

 

     “Help!” a voice called from down the hall, Kevin ran down the hall as fast as his feet would take him, he knew that voice. It was Joe.

 

     Kevin ran all the way down to the end of the hallway. What he saw made him stop dead in his tracks. Joe was being held up against the lockers, his feet dangling a good four inches off the floor. What really made Kevin’s mouth drop open was the person who was doing it. It was his friend David.

 

     “David, what are you doing?” Kevin yelled pulling David away from Joe making him let go, Joe fell to the floor gasping in fear.

 

     “Um, Kevin its not what it looks like,” David stammered looking at his friend shrugging his shoulders.

 

     “Oh really? Do tell, because it looks to me like you just beat up my little brother,” Kevin said scowling as he bent down by Joe, “Joey, are you alright?”

 

     Joe whimpered and slowly nodded.

 

     “Oh come on Kevin, he was giving my a hard time for getting held back, I just wanted him to know how I feel,” David said shrugging it off like he did it all the time.

 

     “So you beat him up? He’s ten years old David, he was just teasing you, like I do sometimes,” Kevin said as he helped Joe up holding the side of his face.

 

     “I also saw the way Joe was looking at my little sister, I know he likes her,” David said glaring at Joe making him duck behind Kevin.

 

     “David, your fourteen, I’m twelve, they’re ten its nothing so what if Joe likes her? You know what I don’t want to talk about this anymore, come on Joe we’re going home,” Kevin said grabbing Joe’s backpack alone with his own.

 

     David through his arms in the air, but nodded, “Okay fine, I’ll see you at the party then,” David said talking to Kevin’s back.

 

     Kevin stopped dead in his tracks, backpacks on one arm the other around Joe, he turned around and said, “No you won’t, I’m staying home with my little brother tonight, and every night, I hope you have a great life David, but I’m no longer a part of it, goodbye.” With that Kevin turned around and lead Joe out of the school.

 

     David watched them go making fists as he did, he looked over at his little sister Kelly who had seen the whole thing from a side classroom, she gulped as David turned back around. She hated it when her brother got like this, David kept grudges, so far nothing had happened but Kelly was afraid that he may hurt someone one day.

 

     That’s when David said the words that Kelly never wanted to hear, “You took my best friend. You will pay someday Joe Jonas, oh yes someday you will pay.”

     Both brothers were quiet on the walk home, Kevin watched Joe every step of the way still not believing what had just happened, he could see that Joe had a black eye and a split lip, Kevin sighed as they reached their empty house. Their mom and Nick were still at the meeting, and their dad was still at work. Kevin reached into his pocket and pulled out his key and unlocked the door.

 

    Kevin turned to Joe and smiled, “Let’s get you cleaned up.”

 

     Kevin headed upstairs and Joe slowly followed. Kevin dropped off their backpacks in their room and then headed for the upstairs bathroom; he turned to Joe and pointed at the closed toilet seat, “Sit.” He said with a small smile as he searched for the first aid kit.

 

     Joe groaned but did as he was told, once he was sitting Kevin took a good look at him and saw how bad Joe’s face really was, “Oh Joe, I’m sorry.”

 

     “Why, it wasn’t your fault, besides David’s your best friend, you couldn’t have known,” Joe said lisping a little with his split lip.

 

     “I didn’t know David was like this, I swear,” Kevin said as he took out a piece of gauze and began cleaning Joe’s lip.

 

     “I know, its okay,” Joe mumbled as Kevin continued to clean the split lip.

 

     Joe was really pretty beat up, his lower lip was split in two, his nose was bleeding, there was a cut above his right eye and to top it all off Joe’s right eye was starting to take on a nice shade of black.

 

     Kevin sighed as he put two pieces of gauze up Joe’s nose to stop the bleeding, he then put a bandage over the cut above his eye, “Wow, mom is going to go crazy when she sees you, come on, lets go get some ice for that eye.”

 

     “Kevin-what about your friendship, I ruined it,” Joe said his voice muffled by the gauze in his nose.

 

     “Don’t worry about it Joe,” Kevin said as they entered the kitchen, pulled out a washcloth, put some ice in it and placed it on Joe’s swollen eye, “Anyone who beats up my brother is no friend of mine anymore.”

 

     “But Kevin-,” Joe began taking the ice off his eye.

 

     “Joe-ice on the eye,” Kevin said pointing Joe did as he was told and then Kevin added, “Really Joe, David just wasn’t suppose to be my friend, I would take you or Nick over anyone.”

 

     “Really?” Joe asked a sideways smile on his battered face.

 

     “Really Joey, you and Nicky, you mean everything to me,” Kevin said patting his brother on the back as he stood up to get them a snack.

 

     You mean everything-little did Kevin know that that statement would someday be tested in the cruelest way a brother could ever image.
