When You Look Me In The Eyes

Girls, and all that other cryptic geometry

Bailey’s Inner Monologue

By the time we reached Mom and Dads suite, the realization of what I had just done and said had me in full blown panic mode. Dad's scary silence and clenched jaw didn’t help matters, sometimes I wish my parents were yellers…it seems like it would be much easier to handle them yelling than to endure the scary silence. The initial endorphins from my heated encounter had also worn off leaving behind a painful throbbing in my eye.

*all walk into the suite*

(Dad) sit

*all three take a seat on the couch obediently, Dad walks to the kitchen area and grabs a dishtowel and fills it with ice from an ice bucket then walks over and hands it to B*

(Bailey) *takes the icepack and flinches as she puts it to her eye* thanks…

(Dad) *crosses arms across his chest with a sigh* I don’t know where to begin…

(Bailey) Dad I…

(Dad) No, you don’t get to talk…you have said quite enough…I will handle you in a minute

*B groans and Nick grabs her hand giving it a squeeze*

(Dad) boys…what are the rules about girls being in your rooms?

(Nick and Joe) they aren’t supposed to be….

(Dad) *cocks brow* ok so you know the rules, you just have chosen to ignore them

(Joe) I wasn’t doing anything! She just stopped by to say hi because we bumped into her in the lobby and why does this rule only apply to us? ‘Cause when Sam was…*stops*

*B shoots Joe a “how could you” look * 

(Joe) *shakes head* nevermind…

(Dad) *glares at B* let me clarify…*looks at the boys* there are to be no girls *looks at B* OR boys alone in your rooms and it’s not just because I don’t trust teenage hormones…it's inappropriate

(Joe) I wasn’t doing anything

(Dad) if there had been ubers in the hall when you walked out, what do you think they would assume? What do you think her Coach assumed?

*Joe sighs*

(Dad) exactly my point…you are now well aware of this rule…if it happens again we are going to have a problem, understood?

(Boys) Yes Sir

(Dad) *nods* you two can go…

*Nick gives B’s hand a squeeze and he and Joe leave the suite*

*back in the hotel room Nick is laying on the bed waiting for B to return*

*Nick’s Inner Monologue*

Right now B is getting the belt…for that I am certain. It's not a punishment Dad usually deals out especially while on tour but definitely one that is usually given for this type of offence to the rules. There are two major no-no’s when it comes to behavior in our family….violence and language and in true B fashion she managed to participate in both AND have Dad witness it. That was her major downfall. We all cuss, I mean not all the time but we definitely throw words around for emphasis when needed…just not in front of Mom or Dad…or ubers…and as far as violence goes…she has three older brothers, I think its safe to say she has endured quite a bit over the years…as well as learned to dish it out. Again, Mom and Dad are unaware, for the most part, of the WWJonas smackdowns, because as far as they are concerned, there is no excuse for violence. I didn’t actually witness what happened with B and Izzy but gaging from the state of Izzy’s face and the string of profanity I heard coming through Miley’s hotel room door, I'm guessing B is in it deep with Dad
