Shape Shift part 2

An hour and 14 McDonald's double cheeseburgers later, I was flipping open Kevin's laptop, and signing onto the boys myspace.
Every Sunday, for the last two years, no matter where in the world we were, or what in the world we were doing, there were always two contstants;
McDonald's and Fan Chat.
Most weeks, the boys were multitasking, so the web cam wasn't on. But every week, they were still 100% in the room, answering questions that I was reading outl oud while they were reading contracts, and calling venues.
This week was different though.
I typed a quick reminder bulletin, and watched the chat room quickly fill up with thousands of Mrs. Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas'.
At 20,000 viewers, we let the fun begin.

BrenAndJB: We thought a surprise would be fun, tonight.

None of us could keep up with the fast scrolling screen.
Nick turned on the webcam, making sure only I was visible to the screen, before turning on the radio.

BrenAndJB: Alright guys, type 'Soulja Boy' if you can see me typing, and hear the radio playing.

I had to laugh as the various spellings of Soulja Boy appeared across the screen, mixed with the OMG!!!'s of the girls who couldn't, and the random 'PRESS 705 IF YOU LOVE NICK!'s that were displayed in a variety of colors and sizes.

"Well then.." I started, talking to the computer. "I'm back in New Jersey right now, enjoying some...free time. And since I'm home with free time, you know who else is.."

And at that point, I rolled away from the screen and let the boys take over, their smiles wide.
For hours, the boys fought to read and answer every question the could, leading to Joe doing some ridiculous dancing, and me laughing so hard I eventually fell off my bed.

At 8:15, Kevin let out a yawn, and looked up at me.
"How long do we usually do chats for?"
I flipped through the newest issue of Popstar!
"An hour."
"How long has this one been going on?"
I looked at my watch.
"Pushing like...five and a half."

Three sets of eyes turned to me, wide as they could have possibly got.
Joe swiveled back to the screen.
"You guys!" He exclaimed to the thousands of fans. "I can't believe you've ALL stayed in here for five hours, talking to us."
"It's amazing." Kevin smiled, but his eyes showed a pain that I had learned to see. "We're gonna go. But we love you guys.."
Nick let out a half smile, he too looking suddenly upset.
"So much." he added softly. "We love you so much."

Joe tried to lighten it up a final time. "We'd give you all the world if we could, but there's only one world...and a ton of you! We love each of you so very much. Goodnight, and back to Brenna."

They all stood up, stretching and yawning before leaving the room, heading downstairs.
I hopped in front of the computer.
"I hope you guys liked talking to the boys. Today has been a crazy one, and I know you guys made it so much better."
I usually didn't go into any sort of detail with the fans, but today especially, I felt like they needed to hear it.
"You guys know that, I spend a ton of time with Kevin, Joe and Nick. All day every day. We talk about everything. But the one thing that they talk about the most, the thing that really makes them smile..is you guys. When they say they love you, they really do mean it."

I smiled.
"I can't wait to see you guys at the next show. Love you so much. Bye bye."

I shut off the camera, instantly romping down the stairs. The boys were sitting on the couch, the opening scenes of Finding Nemo rolling as they shoveled enormous bites of Corn Pops into their mouths.
I slid into the Luv Sac next to them. "What's wrong?"
They kept their eyes glued to the screen.
"Other than the fact that Nemo's mom just died?" Joe asked. "Nothing."
I sighed, pushing myself to my feet and standing directly in front of the TV.
"You know, that's really touching. But do you want to tell me the truth?"

They ignored me once again, until nearly two hours later, when Nick surrendered, shutting off the DVD.
"Bren, you know what's wrong."
I nodded. "I know. But you guys need to talk about it."

He looked at me, his dark brown eyes over flowing with pain.
"We're out of work, now. We're in the middle of a tour, in the middle of recording, and we were having so much fun with it. But now it's done. We've failed."

"Oh, Nu-uh." I squeezed inbetween Kevin and Joe, looking at each of them.
"Just because the disgusting old man that runs Columbia Records wants to change who you are does NOT make you failures. You guys walked away from him."
My small speech seemed to be helping slightly, because they'd all began to look at me, soaking in what I was saying.
"My best friends aren't quitters."
