Hold On To Him | Jonas Brothers

Chapter 4

Frankie's P.O.V.
I've been waiting outside for over an hour now. I know Kevin's not supposed to pick us up for another thirty minutes at the least, but I'm way to excited.

He's taking us to an amusement park today! Not Disney, but hey! I'm not complaining.

Nick's been running around in is room, OCD playing up. Tidying the room as if pictures are going to be made for a sale or a magazine of some sort.

Pippa's been taking her time to get ready. She barely ever takes a lot of time to get ready, but she's been insecure about her looks lately.

Joe is still asleep. No explanation needed. You gotta love the guy!

Pippa's been blasting One Direction through her speakers, just to annoy us. She's so in for it at the park. By Joe most likely.

I watch cars drive by, wondering what people are up too this early in the morning. For fun, I try to make up their stories.

For example, a guy alone in his car, looked to be speaking, but there was no one there. He wore a suit and it looked like he was on his way to somewhere fancy.

Another example, a mom with two daughters and a son in her car. The curly headed son looked nothing like his sisters. The mom was crying, the sisters looked angry and the son looked confused. I made up that he's not theirs and are on their way to bring him over to his father that no one seems to like. Or they don't want to miss their son/brother. Well, if he's anything like Joe, I'd be happy to get a couple days off with the teasing and the pranking.

I'd been so lost in thoughts that I hadn't seen Kevin, Danielle and Alena arrive.

Kevin pulls me up into a hug and I hug him back. Danielle gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and I smile widely at the sight of Alena in her back seat.

The car is still running, meaning they don't want to get inside. Let's go!

Why are people taking so long?! Five minutes later, Joe had to be dragged out of bed, Nick wasn't done cleaning up the place and Pippa still wasn't ready. She took over half an hour! How horrible could her looks be?

Finally they all showed up and we got shoved into the car.

Joe complained about sleep the whole way there, but once we got at the park, he turned into a five-year-old child. He looked so stupid skipping around the parking lot. Even I am more mature than that.

Kevin got us into the park. He had us made some promises about sticking together and doing things together as a family. No wondering off. If you get lost, stay where you are and phone the others. Those rules shouldn't be to hard to follow. Well, unless your name's Joe.

He went right ahead, taking Pippa by the wrist and dragging her all the way over to the first ride.

Joe got scolded by Kevin, but Joe grinned through the lecture, not really finding it an issue.

The first ride was a ride that included landing in water actually. Danielle would stay out of it with Alena and we would go on the ride without them.

Joe was up front, Kevin and I in second row and Pippa and Nick in the back.

The ride was a lot of fun, but Pippa didn't dare to let go of the bar in front of her. By the end of the ride, Joe, Kevin and I had only gotten a few splatters of water on our clothes. Pippa and Nick were drenched.

It isn't cold and the sun is out, so they are going to dry up pretty quickly.

By lunchtime, we'd already been on a lot of rides. Either Pippa, Danielle or Kevin sat rides out to stay with Alena.

Alena enjoyed a kids ride where there was a lot to see. Mini clowns moving around, just moving stuff really. That's what interests her.

The water from the first ride this morning had worked it's magic on Nick's levels. We're all just really glad he didn't turn all monstrous on us. He tried to keep his levels in check, but it wasn't easy. Had to sit down quite a lot when he wasn't on any rides. Drank a lot of water and had been forced to take candies to get his levels up.

About an hour after lunch, he needed another break. He sat down and hunched forwards to hide his face in his hands. Kevin sat next to him and rubbed his back. Pippa stood next to me with her arms folded in front of her and Joe moved over to kneel in front of Nick.

"How are you feeling?" Joe asks him. "Horrible." Nick responded. "Do you feel sick? Or do  you feel low? Give us more info." Joe tried.

"Just not well." He said. Kevin took out his kit from the basket in Alena's stroller to test him.

"Your levels are fine now. Do they feel normal?" Nick gives a short shake of his head in response. So he feels high or low. Looking at the way he's seated, I'd say he feels lower than he is.

Nick sat up straight and I saw frustration flicker through his eyes. "Why can't my life be normal? I'm ruining everyone's day. Why can't I ever have a fun day without all this ... " I figured he wanted to curse, but didn't let himself.

"It's alright. You're not ruining our day. Everyone's having fun and so are you. It's just something we have to adjust too. It's not ever going to be a bother to any of us." Nick looked around as we all nodded in agreement. A small smile appeared on his face, but soon faded again. One of his hands snuck its way around his stomach.

"You good?" Kevin asks him in concern.

Nick nods after a while. "Yeah, I'll be fine." He smiles.
