Please Be Mine [Kevin Jonas] Part 7: Burnin' Up

**Kevin's POV**

"I hope you're happy". Joe said walking into our room.
"I'm estastic now that I have Amber". I replied coldly.
"Yeah, I figured. You have Queen Amber. Who cares about anyone else's feelings". Joe replied walking to his bed.
He fell onto it and turned his back to me as he picked uphis copy of "To Kill A Mockingbird". I still couldn't figure out why he started reading in the first place, but he hasn't put it down since Julia lent it to him.
"You can stop staring at me now". He said still not facing me.
"Why do you care what I'm doing"? I asked.
"I don't. I shouldn't. You treat the people who care about you like crap for a girl that is only after your money. Do whatever the heck you want". Joe said.
He sounded so unphased by his words. He had no emotion in them.
"And you have Julia. So we're even". I fought back.
I knew I was acting like a jerk, but I couldn't contain myself. I wanted so badly to keep pushing Joe to the edge.
Joe put his book down, and I knew I had him. He stood up and walked towards me.
"Not that it is any of your business, but I just told Julz I can't talk to her anymore. Because YOUR my brother and I didn't want to hurt YOU! Not like you are hurting anyway. Julia is the one who needs me, and I can't be there for her. Because YOU have to be so self absorbed".
Joe's words hurt. I stood up and stopped a few inches in front of him.
"You would know about being conceited little brother. Last time I checked you hold the "ego" of the group".
"That has nothing to do with the situation Kevin and you know it. You are just throwing around stuff to fuel my fire. Why don't you just do us both a favor and stop talking to me".
"You don't mean that". I said feeling a part of my heart break.
Joe was still my brother, and I still loved him. Him saying he wanted me out of his life would always hurt no matter what was happening.
"As long as you are with that she-witch, yeah I do". Joe said walking out of the room and slamming the door shut.
I heard him walk down the stairs and call for my mom.

**A few hours later**
I hadn't left my room for awhile. I felt awful.
"Kevin honey," my mom said coming into the room. "Joseph and I just had a talk, and I feel it would be best if we did some room rearrangements for awhile. At least until you and Joe cool off".
I sighed. There was no arguing with my mom. Her word, like my dad's, was law.
"Fine am I moving or is he"? I asked.
"He is. Nick will move in here because it is easier to move him than Frankie".
"Cool," I said nodding as I grabbed my guitar from the the side of the bed. "I'm going to practice for awhile okay"?
"Sounds wonderful". My mother said smiling. "I'll put the hanger on the doorknob".
I laughed and nodded remember all too well my 20th birthday present made by Frankie. It was a "DO NOT DISTURB I'M IN GUITAR MODE" doorhanger. I used it every time I was practicing so I wouldn't lose concentration. He made it partly because he would always be the one to come barging in and making me lose my train of thought. But I knew the thought was there.
My mom left and I put my guitar down. I couldn't concentrate. I felt awful. And it wasn't because Joe and I were fighting. I don't know what else it could be though.

**Julia's POV**
"Joe"? I asked picking up my cell phone. "I thought you said you couldn't talk to me anymore".
"I don't care anymore Julia. I am so sick of looking out for Kevin's best interests when Kevin's only interest is himself". I heard Joe say into the speaker.
"So, what do I have to do with that"?
"I'm outside your house. If the paparazzi want to make up rumors, let's give them something to talk about".
"Seriously"? I asked jumping out of my bed.
"Yeah, Nick's here too".
"Nick? He is going to come along"?
"Yup, he is tired of Kevin acting like a jerk too. He's 20 and he can't act like an adult. So we are going to show him a litle surprise".
"I like the sound of that". I laughed.
"Cool, now come down, we're waiting". Joe said hanging up.
I got ready fast and jumped down tehs tairs. Sure enough Joe and Nick were waiting in Joe's car.
"So what's the plan boys"? I asked.
"To go in the most public placeimaginable and give the press a little show". Joe said smiling.
"Sounds good to me". I replied jumping in the car.
Joe hit the gas and we sped away. At that point I decidd I didn't care anymore. Kevin Jonas was no longer going to control my life.
