Shay's POV
After Nick and I got ready, we all started to pile into Joe's truck. I pulled on Nick's arm as he started to get in the passenger seat. He stepped back out and placed both hands on my shoulders. "Can you sit in the back with me?"
"Of course, are you okay?" I gave him a sincere nod and smiled. He kissed the top of my head as he helped me get in and closely followed behind once I got situated. Joe started the car as Nick buckled his seatbelt. Once we got moving Nick wrapped his arm around me and I placed my head on his chest.
"Okay, I just cleaned the truck, so I'll appreciate it if you both keep to yourself," Joe commanded while looking at us through his mirror. Nick leaned up and flicked the back of his ear. "Ow, hey! Don't hit the driver!" Nick sat himself back and I placed my head back on his chest.
"Then stop with all these inappropriate comments."
"I'm just messing around with you little brother," Joe joked smirking at us.
"Why? Because you can't keep a girl and get some yourself?" Nick laughed and I joined in. Joe playfully mocked our laughter then didn't say another word until we got to our destination.
Joe's POV
When we entered the doctors office, I took a seat in the waiting room, while they both signed in. In a matter of seconds, Nick's doctor walked in and took them in the back. I closed my eyes and held my breath before releasing it. Nick's comment hurt a lot. I joke around with them to keep my mind off Demi. I still haven't gotten over her leaving. She left after a tweet I posted the night before.
@joejonas: @ddlovato you're my only one. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've fallen madly in love with you.
I knew I should've kept my mouth shut. It's like getting someone's name tattooed, because you are bound to jinx it. It hurts like hell to get it removed or covered. You're not sure what hurts more, the pain of covering your mistake, or doing it in the first place.
Shay's POV
Joe didn't say a word the way home. He parked his truck on his driveway, having Nick and myself cross the street to ours. As Nick started to unlock the door, I squeezed in front of him and grabbed his hand that held the key in it's lock.
"You have to talk to Joe. Something you said must of upset him." I stared up at his eyes and he let out a sigh. He pulled me up for a kiss, then unlocked the door. As I stepped in, he made his way back to Joe's. After shutting the door, I went upstairs to his bedroom. I straighten the top of his dresser and placed the clothes on top in their drawers. As I was doing so, a pink scarf caught my eye. Holding it in my hands, it looked and felt so similar. As if it was part of the love story that happened between Nick and I.
Chills ran down my arm as these cold, soft, diligent fingers danced on my arm. A soft kiss on my shoulder trailed up, until I opened my eye and turned to face a beautiful man. He rubbed my upper arm as I moved my hand to his leg.
"Want me to go sleep in the guest room tonight?" He asked as he moved a strand of hair from my face. I shook my head as he smiled, then left for the bathroom. I rolled to one side of the bed and got under the covers. Nick shortly entered wearing only his black boxer briefs. Once he got situated, I wrapped my arms around him as he scooted towards my embrace. I kissed the upper park of his neck before I let myself drift off.
Joe's POV
As I sat online on a couch in my living room my heart ached. Demi never left my mind and I started to envy my brother's relationship. Why does he get to be happy and I'm miserable as fuck? I closed my eyes to stop the tears before they fell. My right eye caught a glimpse of a kazoo underneath a lamp on a small table next to the couch. I picked it up and blew into it. "Yay to me for never being happy again." I blew in it again and this melody I heard stuck to me. I played it again and again. "Feels like I'm in a cartoon
Love struck, shot with a heart bloom
Flying high as a balloon
And I ain't coming down
God knows I'm nervous around you
But I'm just, just trying to play it cool
Don't want to rush on it too soon
I'm keeping you around
Superstitiously, I'm watching my words
All of my words now
Like a birthday wish
Don't say it out loud
Never out loud" I quickly pulled out my phone to write down what I just sung. I quickly ran to the house across from me to use Nick's recording studio. It's nearly midnight, but he wouldn't mind, would he?
