When The Lights Go Down

Testing high and Feeling low

(Bailey) *angry* Ok, first off *pointing at Joe* YOU shut up, it was just a kiss …it was nice and perfect and you ruined it and secondly...*pointing at Nick* YOU don’t talk to me right now… get your sugar in check before you dare say another word to me 

*B turns her back to Nick and stares out the window, Nick clenches his jaw and slams his fist into the back of Joe’s headrest*

(Joe) QUIT! *turns around to retaliate*

(Ronnie) HEY! *Joe freezes* Nick, I realize you’re not feelin so hot but don’t take it out on my car please and J, just stop, that obviously wasn’t directed toward you, he’s upset, everyone just chill…

*everyone is silent for the trip home, the second Ronnie pulls into the drive B hops out and stomps inside, followed by Nick*

(Ronnie) geesh you musicians sure are hot tempered 

(Joe) sorry, sometimes the blood sugar thing creeps up on him and he can be real ass

(Ronnie) I’m not just talking about Nick, what about you and that little alarm trick? You just dismissed Sam like you caught him feelin her up or something…it was just a kiss, Sam is a good guy

(Joe) I never said he wasn’t a good guy…I was joking around 

(Ronnie) you ruined her kiss, she didn’t find you funny

(Joe) look at you being all cute and defending B *smile*

(Ronnie) well, someone has too, its kind of unevenly gendered in that house. I know you guys are just protective of her but stick to scaring off the bad ones not the good ones.

(Joe) yes ma’am *smirk*

(Ronnie) don’t be cute right now, I’m trying to be upset on B’s behalf, you should apologize to her.

(Joe) I will

(Ronnie) *sigh* good

meanwhile inside…

*B walks in, Mom is sitting in the kitchen in her robe having some hot tea, B grabs Nick’s pdm off the counter and shoves it into his chest then turns and walks upstairs*

(Mom) so….how was the carnival

*Nick doesn’t answer, he sits down and tests his sugar, his reading pops up 410*

(Mom) *looks at the screen* well, I bet you were pleasant

*Nick adjusts his pod to deliver his bolus, presses send and then walks into the media room*

Bailey’s Inner Monologue

I am suddenly reminded of why I kept it a secret when Jake and I had gotten back together this last time, MY BROTHERS. I'm starting to wonder if all girls with older brothers go through this or if my brothers are a special breed of annoying. How embarrassing...and Nick…ugh just figures he left his pdm at home and he hulk smashes at the end of the night. I know he was struggling all day with his sugar but I just really am not in the mood to deal with that bullshit right now.

*Bailey texts Sam*

(Bailey text) hey you

(Sam text) hello beautiful

(Bailey text) so…I’m thinking our next date…we DON’T take my brothers 😜

(Sam text) haha sounds good

(Bailey text) I’m sorry about Joe…he was just joking…I think

(Bailey text) maybe, have to check with Mom, Dad comes home tomorrow there could be Jonas stuff going on

(Sam text) ok, lmk 🙂

*Knock on B’s door, the door opens and its Joe*

(Joe) hey can I come in? *B motions for him to come on in*

(Bailey Text) Joe wtt gtg

(Sam text) ok, night beautiful 🙂

(Joe) you talking with Sam?

(Bailey) *smile* yea…he called me beautiful *sighs*

(Joe) which proves he isn’t blind… that’s good

(Bailey) *smiles* he is a good guy

(Joe) he seems to be

(Bailey) why were you such a jerk then?

(Joe) I was just messing with him, I’m sorry 

(Bailey) *sighs* its ok , just don’t scare him off …I like him.

*Nick walks in*

(Joe) twin time…night B, love you

(Bailey)love you too

*Joe leaves the room and closes the door, Nick comes and sits down on B’s bed*

(Bailey) are you better now?

(Nick) *shrugs* its coming down ... my sugar is really high

(Bailey) yea I can tell

(Nick) *lays down on the bed and closes his eyes* its been bad all day, I hate this…you don’t know what its like to not have control over your own body, it sucks…

*B gets up and changes into pajama shorts and flips off the light then lays down next to Nick snuggling into his shoulder

(Bailey) gnight nicky, love you

(Nick) love you too *leaning down and kissing the top of her head*

*a few minutes later Nick is already asleep…B’s phone buzzes with a text*

(Jake text) you will regret tonight
