Joe's POV
I walked quickly towards the living room again, trying to avoid Kat. She caught up.
Why are you acting like this?she asked.
Cause. is all I could answer with, still trying to stay away from her.
Joe.. she said reaching for me.
WHAT?! I turned and yelled.
I saw her eyes start to water.
No, No, No, No, No...! I grabbed Kat by the arms. I still didn't know what to say. I didn't mean to.. UGH! I let go, turned around and pacing.
Joe..
I'm sorry, Im sorry, I'm sorry, I repeated quickly still pacing.
Joe. It's okay... I just wish you'd.. tell me...
What's wrong? That's the thing! I... I don't know! I did. I was jealous. That's what. I wanted my brother to get over my girlfriend. I wanted no feelings between them. But it was plain as day that there was more than just the Oh yeah, your brother/girlfriend is cool. feeling. No, it was more. It killed me. Simply killed me. Stabbed me right in the back, pulled my heart out, rip it up and throw it into a trashcan hurt me, if you know what I mean. But why couldn't I tell her this? Why couldn't I just admit it and get it over with?! You know what, maybe I just need to get over it. Paranoia. That's all. That's all. I'm just gonna ignore everything and pretend there's nothing going on. If it comes up, just fake it out.
"Joe.. If this is about--"
"Nick?! What?! No.. Psh! NO."
"I wasn't going to say Nick.."
Shit.
An afro poked into the room, "I heard my name.. Should I--?"
"Um, sit down, Nick.." Kat said quietly.
Nick chose to sit by Kat. Not so wise choice. But if he thinks that'll get me not to sock him in the face, then wise choice, indeed.
Let's get this straight. She looked from me then to Nick, back at me and kept her eyes locked on mine.
There is NOTHING going on between me and Nick.
I still didn't believe her, and kept quiet.
You don't believe me do you?
Mind reader, damn. Still kept quiet.
Ugh. Nick, tell him.
Nick was silent too.
You think there's something going on too, don't you?
She laughed musically, as always.
What's so funny? we both asked, obviously entranced by her laughter at the same time
Listen..
Nick.. I do love you.
I knew it! Both Nick and I jumped off the couch; one in excitement, the other in anger. Bet you can guess which was which.
Musical laughter escaped Kat's lips once again. As a brother.
Nick and I went back to sitting.
I know.. I can see why you wouldn't believe me. I've been giving you the wrong signs.. And I'm sorry. I do love you though, and I'll always be here for you. But, not the way you want.. again, I'm sorry. I wish I could, but I love Joe.. you know.. she looked at me like it was love at first sight. I felt the same.
But Nick didn't.
That's bull! He stood up angrily. You've slept next to me, We've held hands, you've kissed my cheek..
She rebutted, And? I haven't done anything that more than friends'd do..--
You've kissed his cheek?! I stood up then. I was on Nick's side. Well, sorta.
IT WAS A PECK! HE NEEDED IT, HE WAS SO DOWN!
So?! Is that not a sign of affection? Nick yelled.
I did it cause you were so upset! Kat retorted.
Oh, so you did it cause you felt bad for me? Hm?
Not like that! You're taking it the wrong way!
So you did it cause you liked me?
Of course!
Finally I spoke, So who's it gonna be me or Nick?
Yeah! Who is it that you love, huh? Nick added.
Both of you!She yelled back, tears swelling in her eyes.
But which one of us is your boyfriend? I yelled, wishing I could have taken it back as soon as it came out.
Oh is this what this is all about? Who's my boyfriend? Who I love more? This is all just a contest?
We stayed silent.
Well you know what? If that's what it all has been, I'm sick of it! I'm done with all you Jonases! she grabbed her jacket off the couch and started to stomp towards the door.
You know what? Maybe we're sick of you messing with our hearts, you.. you..
She turned around and gritted her teeth,You what, huh? Say it.
My heart stopped. I turned away. There was nothing to call her. It wasn't her fault. It was me and Nick's. I could tell he felt the same way when he looked at me and had the same apologetic stare on his face as mine. We ran to Kat and hugged her, before she could reach the door.
We need you, Kat. Don't leave us. Nick choked out.
Please don't. You are the youre the PB to our J, the MAC to our CHEESE, the POP to our TART, the MILK to our DUDS, the BRACES to our NERD, the CHUCK to our NORRIS, the GHETTO to our BOOTY! I said almost weeping.
Kat and Nick looked at me funny.
Give me one perfect reason, besides Joe's booty theory, why I should stay.
Nick and I had no idea where to start, leaving us at a loss for words. And at that, she left.
Like the drama? Yes, MORE? No, Kat, go back to the comedy?
