--------------------------------------------------------Chapter Fourteen---------------------------------------------------------

I opened the door and walked back to my bed. I planted my face into the pillow and listened as Nick closed the door and made his way over to my bed. The bed shifted as he took a seat and started to rub my back. That's how we stayed for a while, me crying into my pillow and Nick comforting me. I knew that Nick and Kevin didn't care more about his career than me, that's just not them...it was Joe. How dare he say that to me, sure, I knew he was mad....but all he cared about was his music career.

"How long as it been going on?" Nick asked, still rubbing my back.

I rested my chin on the pillow, "Since we shared the kiss during the sketch."  

Nick sighed and it was silent again for a while. I stared at my headboard as if it was the most intresting thing in the world, anything to not make eye contact with Nick.  

"Why?" He asked.

"I don't know!"   I got off the bed and went over to my desk on the other side of the room. I leaned on it and groaned.

This is not how I wanted them to find out, I didn't want them to find out at all! I ran my hand through my hair as I started to collect my thoughts.  

"I like Chad....but not enough to be in a relationship with him. He feels the same way, so we thought this little arrangement would be the best for the both of us. But obviously, it's not." I chuckled a bit, trying to ligthen the mood.

"You two just kissed right? You didn't..." He widened his eyes.

I shook my head, "Oh jeez, of course not Nick!"  

He put his hands up in a innocent way. Then, he got up and hugged me. I hugged back, feeling lucky that I had an amazing brother. Nick stopped the hug and held me by the shoulders.  

"Don't you ever think that we like our careers more than you." He said in a kind yet harsh tone.

I nodded, "Okay."  

He smiled and pulled me into a hug again. Nick muttured things such as 'We'll fix this' and 'New news will come soon'. I smiled a bit at his encouraging words, he was always the optimist of the group.  

"I love you, Nick."

"I love you too."

Finally, the weekend was coming to a close. It was the slowest/worst weekened of my young life. Kevin and I talked and I pretty much told him the same thing I did with Nick, he hugged me close and did what big brothers are supposed to do. My parents also found out and we had a long talk about it, y'know, what any pair of parents would do. They just said it was time to quit the arrangement now...for the sake of my emotional stability and before the press found out. I agreed and told them I would talk to Chad about it tomorrow. Joe was a different story, we didn't say two words to each other. I'm mad at him and he's pissed at me. I'm not even going to try to communicate with him.  

Monday morning approached, it was the last week of the show before we went on our Summer Hiatus. Even though I wasn't looking forward to spending time on a tour bus with Joe, I was excited to leave the studio. Sure, I love my job, but it's like a great school year, you have fun but then you're just done. I slipped on a cute short jean skirt with a yellow wedge top. I also put on yellow wedged shoes, I never really wore these before...but first time for everything.
