Break the Silence to Where You Belong (Book 1 of the Mercy Forever Series)

Chapter 1

*I'm currently sitting with the Jonas Brothers after their breakup last year in October. Being in Nick's house in the Hollywood Hills as all three brothers are continuing with their own projects. Kevin is currently with his wife, Danielle and their beautiful daughter, Alena Rose, born on February 2nd and has plans to continue to future business ventures. Joe is currently in the studio, working on his sophomore album, and plans to release it later this year. Nick has been working alongside close friend Demi Lovato for her Neon Lights tour as Musical and Creative Director and is also working on his newest solo album*

Jennifer: So guys, other than working really hard and staying close as a family, is there anything embarrassing or awkward that has gotten between each other?

Joe: *laughs* Oh my God, yes! There was this one moment with me and Nick.

Nick: *groans* Joe, I don't want to talk about that.

Kevin: *laughs* What happened?

Joe: Come on, Nick. Tell her.

Nick: I'd rather not talk about it, it's really embarrassing that I don't want anyone to know about.

Joe: Ok, then can I tell her?

Nick: No, forget it. Don't you dare say anything.

Jennifer: *playful scoff* It was that bad?

Nick: Yea.

Joe: *looks closely underneath the coffee table and finds a Cosmopolitan magazine*

Jennifer: Joe, what are you looking at?

Joe: *pulls out the magazine and shows it to Nick* Want to explain why I found this, Nick?

Jennifer: What? A magazine?

Joe: Not just a certain magazine, it's a Cosmo with Nick's ex, Selena. *shows it to me*

Nick: *stern* Joe, I swear to God, knock it off.

Jennifer: *takes the magazine, noticing the odd texture of the magazine* Why does it feel weird?

Joe: *laughs* Nick, just tell her so she won't like holding it.

Jennifer: *drops it quickly* Why?!

Nick: Fine. One day, I was in my bedroom with that magazine and...

Joe: Come on, Nick.

Nick: I was masturbating to it and Joe accidently walked in on me.

Jennifer: *snickers* Ok. That really was embarrassing. And I touched it, ew. *wiping my hands on my pants* And to your ex? Ok, then.

Joe and Kevin: *laughs*

Nick: I really hate you right now, Joe.

Kevin: Are you serious, Joe? Did that really happen?

Joe: Yea. And it was actually last week!

*Joe and Kevin continue to laugh*

Nick: *irritated* I'll be right back, I'm going to go get a drink. *walks to the kitchen and comes back with a bottle of water*

Jennifer: *giggles* I'm sorry. It's still kinda funny. I'm sorry, I'll stop laughing.

Nick: It's ok.

*doorbell rings*

Joe: I'll get it. *walks up and goes straight to the door, opens it and sees Selena standing right in front of him*

Selena: Hey Joe, how's it going?

Joe: It's fine. *laughs*

Selena: *confused* Why are you laughing like a weirdo?
