(Joe pov)
I'm at home in my bedroom laying down & reading the magazine.As I'm reading the magazine, I thought bout my conversation with Demi the other day.
*flashback*
"Hey, Joe. Are you sure you're okay?" She asked worriedly."Like I said before, Demi. I'm fine, Don’t worry about it." I told her.
"But, Joe. You're not fine like you say you are, Can't you see we're worried bout you?!" Demi said worriedly.
"Okay. You wanna know what's bothering me?" I asked her as she nod.
"I kept having thoughts bout Stella's jealousy over our friendship. I mean, it upsets me seeing her questioning me over Jemi, it's like she doesn't trust me." I told her.
"Don’t worry, Joe. I bet everything's gonna be okay." Demi says trying to convinced me.
"Really, How?" I questions.
"Um, Just think bout the happy moments you two shared." Demi advise me.
"Alright, Fine. I'll try, but I'm only doing it for you." I warned her as she nodded agreeing.
"Okay. I guess, I'll see you later." I said.
"Yea, See you later, Joe." Demi says smiling nervously.
*end of flashback*After having a flashback of my conversation with Demi, I knew that she's right.
So I started taking Demi advice on. Like I said before, I'm only doing it for her.
As I'm taking her advice by thinking bout the happy moments Stella & I shared together. I saw Nick & Kevin coming in the room & walked towards me.
"Hey, Bro! Whatcha doing?" Nick asked.
"Just thinking bout the happy moments Stella & I shared, while reading a magazine." I answered.
"Well. Just to let you know, Demi came by to give you this song." Kevin said as he handed me a sheet of song lyrics so I started reading them.
"These are suggestions for you guys to sing at the play "Romeo & Juliet." Nick explained as I nod.
As I'm reading all 4 of the songs, I started having a flashback of my argument with Stella.
*flashback*
"Ok. What's up with you & Demi?" Stella asked me."Stella, There's nothing going on between me & Demi, you should know that." I said.
"Yea. But it really annoys me hearing people making you guy bout how you two look cute & how you guys have chemistry together! I mean, don't you understand that could get in the way of our relationship?!" Stella said.
"I mean, Whenever I see you two together, It makes me wonder bout you guys friendship. Especially when you guys would share a moment together like for example, you guy shared a moment during your duet in drama class. And you guys always goof off & have long conversation bout anything whenever you two sit next to each other in drama class, acting like you guys have a close connection. Like, is something going on in you guy friendship? Do you like her or something?" She continued.
"To me, the thoughts of Jemi brings you two closer & closer. It's like you love how close your friendship with Demi are compared to ours." She told me as explaining her feelings bout Jemi.
"You know what, Stella? You shouldn't questioned me bout my friendship with Demi cause we're good friends, nothing else." I said.
"Beside, I don't really mind if people think we look cute together, I mean, I just think of me & Demi's friendship as something great, and honestly, I think the shipped-name Jemi is a pretty name and I really like it. To be completely honest with you right now, I love how close Demi & I are as friends." I continued.
"Cause it feels like you're jealous of my friendship with Demi!" I told her.
"What? No, I don't!" Stella protested.
"Oh. Yes, you do!" I told her.
"You know what, If you wanna cool down & apologized for being jealous of my friendship with Demi, Then let me know." I told her being completely serious.
*end of flashback*
After having a flashback of Stella & I argument over Jemi, my brother noticed something's bothering me."Joe, You okay?" Kevin asked.
"No." I replied.
"What's wrong? Does it have to do with Stella's jealousy over your friendship with Demi." Nick said as I nod.
"It's not only that, but when Demi & I told each other our thoughts on Jemi, and what we like bout each other." I told them.
"Tell us everything that happened between you & Demi, when you guys discussed bout the thoughts of Jemi." Nick said as I nod.
I explained to them everything that happened between me and Demi, Starting from when we stayed after-school & told each other our thoughts of Jemi along with when we shared some moments together during our performance on both drama & music class.
I also told them bout the time when Demi meet me at our drama class along with we told each other what we think of one another all the way to when Stella & I argued over Jemi, And when Demi gave me advice.
Telling them everything that happened between me & Demi, I waited for their reaction.
"So, Are you trying to tell us you like Demi." Nick said as I nod nervously.
"I guess so. I mean, I've always liked Demi." I confessed.
"And since Stella's been jealous of my friendship with Demi, I vowed to spend alot of quality time with Stella, instead of being around Demi." I told them.
"Well. I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, it pretty obvious you really like to around Demi, and although you're dating Stella, you & Demi are always near each other." Nick said.
"Yea, I agree with Nick. I mean, even though you & Stella shared some moments together. It feels like you wanna have something more with Demi, I mean, it's obvious that everybody in school knows you & Demi have chemistry together, and that you guys look like you're meant to be." Kevin said.
"What are you guys trying to tell me?" I asked them.
"Follow your heart!" Kevin & Nick said at the same time.
"And try not to overthink it, because I have a great feeling that Demi likes you too." Nick said.
"Thanks for the advice, guy. Im gonna think bout it tonight." I told them as they nod.
They gave me a bro-hug then pulled away and left. As they left, I started to think bout what they told me &
