Author's Note: I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry that this took so long. Please, please, please, please forgive me. My life got super busy and I fell off the radar because some personal issues.. and I was so ughblah that I couldn't write... and this chapter is probably really horrible... because I started it before the blahness and I knew what I wanted to do and then after the blahness (for the most part) I lost it.. and yeah. That's confusing. But yeah. I'm super sorry. Please forgive me? And thank you to EVERYONE SINGLE ONE of you who has reviewed or put this baby on alert. Or me on alert... or favorites. thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope ya'll enjoy this chapter. (:
Disclaimer: I do not own J.O.N.A.S. I do not own the brothers. I do not own Macy or Stella. I do not own the lyrics from the song, Before The Storm, Just Friends, 6 Minutes or You Just Don't know it. That would be the amazing JB. I own nothing. Except maybe the clothes that I am wearing. (:
Rating: PG.. PG-13.. I don't know?

You just don't know it
I'm on the edge of crossing the line
I don't want to blow it or show it
Before you know you're mine
You just don't know it
Macy walks into the school, wide-eyed and a huge cup of coffee in her hands. It was a long night. She couldn't get the hug out of her mind, not for one second. Taking a sip, she rounds the corner and finds Nick at his locker. Surprisingly, she doesn't accidently dump her coffee on him. She doesn't faint. Instead, she smiles lightly, her lips still close to the cup. "Good morning, Nick. How are you and where is everyone?"
Nick's not too surprised, he knew she had it in her. "Joe and Stella are arguing about something or another. Their current argument, I think, is oatmeal. And Kevin, well, he's looking for you." He smiles a brilliant smile. "And I'm doing wonderful, thank you for asking. You?"
She pulls the cup away from her mouth. "Me.. why? Is he okay?" Looking around, Macy just hopes to spot him in the hall. It's a lost cause, though - as he's nowhere near by. "I'm quite alright, a bit tired." She said holding up her coffee.
Laughing quietly, Nick nodding his head. "I already had my fix this morning. So I know what you mean."
It takes three more minutes before Kevin joins them. "Mace." his voice is low, soft. "Hey. I mean, good morning." He leans in for an awkward hug. One-armed from Macy because her other arm, the hand is still holding on tightly to the cup of coffee.
The hug confuses her, but she welcomes it. "Morning, Kev. You were looking for me, Nick said?"
Kevin smiled at her before turning to look at Nick. It was a silent conversation that Macy didn't understand. Looking back at Macy, he smiles again. "Yep! And I found you."
She grinned and opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by Nick. "You know she likes..."
Her eyes widened and she cut him back off. "To dance. I like to dance. It's fun." She moved her feet a bit and swung her hips twice. This time there was a silent conversation between Nick and Macy.
"Well, I'll see you two later. I'm going to go find Stella and Joe and make sure that they haven't murdered one another." Nick said bumping Kevin's shoulder and patting Macy on the back.
Taking a small sip of her coffee, she prayed that Stella hadn't formed a plan to have her secret 'accidentally' gushed out by one of the Lucas brothers to Kevin.
---
"So, what was that about?"
Macy eyes Kevin for a second. "Who knows. You know.. Nick.. all intense and.. stuff." She quickly takes a sip of her coffee before setting it down on the ground. Her hands work quickly. She has to finish her coffee before the start of class and that means she has no time to shift through her locker like usual. Pulling her locker open, she grabs two books, puts two in there and shuts it quickly. Putting her books in her bag, she ducks down and grabs her coffee. "Ah.." she takes another sip, smiling.
Kevin blinks for a few moments. "Wow.. you're worse than Nick."
---
The hall fills in quickly. Stella and Joe walk by, not even noticing them, as they're still arguing.
"I wonder when they'll finally just admit it.."
Macy laughs, draining the last drop from the cup. "Seriously. So obvious."
And Kevin wonders how she doesn't see that he likes her. In her own words, so obvious.
---
The bell rings as the coffee cup hits the trash can. Kevin watches closely before Macy turns and smiles at him. "See you at lunch?"
He shrugs, a smile tugging at his lips. "Where else would I be?"
She shakes her head and gives him a hug before running off in the other direction to her class. Next time, he decides, he'll walk her to class... way before the bell rings.
---
Can you feel it?
In the way I look at you Girl,
can you hear it?
I'm crying out inside
I don't want to see you
Be near you
You're a million miles too close
---
The bell for lunch drags. Kevin feels miserable, he hasn't saw Macy since they departed that morning and he feels pathetic because he already misses her.
He's restless.
Nick slaps a hand on his back when the teacher isn't looking. Being three points shy of a genius and all, he's in a few of Kevin's classes. "Settle down, dude." he whispers quietly.
Kevin sighs, nods. Mouths, sorry and lays his head on the desk.
---
The bell rang and Kevin shot out of his seat, Nick quick on his heels with a knowing smile on his lips. "Woah, where's the fire?"
Kevin shrugs and turns down the hall leading to the cafe and then Nick can hear the sigh of relief coming from his oldest brother. "I'll see you at the table?" Nick nods, because he doesn't buy anything. He still brown-bags it.
---
He freaks. She's not there yet. She's not there! She's suppose to be there, she's like, never late for lunch.. and she's not there. Just as he's about to turn around and go look for her, someone puts their hands in front of his eyes.
And that's when the smell hits him. The smell he could smell through.. anything.
The voice. "Guess who?" the voice he would know anywhere. The voice he'd always hear, even if he were deaf.
"Ohno." He pretends though. "Uhm... otter playing a trumpet?"
She giggles. He melts.
"Noo.. Hm,... Macy.. of school?" He turns around quickly, his hands attacking her sides in a tickle fight. In the middle of the lunchline. She giggles, she doesn't care. People just move around them and she begs for mercy.
"Okay, okay. Okay! Kev!" He lets off, grinning as she looks up at him through her eyelashes. His heart stops for a moment. "Silly Kevin of School." She says, ruffling his hair up a bit before taking a tray.
---
They put their trays down at the same time. And sit down at the same time. And notice that they're getting stared at by Nick, Joe and Stella... at the same time.
"What?" they both say. Macy laughs so much that she throws her head back, her hands on her stomach and Kevin can't look away from her.
When she calms down she eyes them. "Seriously, what was that about?"
Stella shakes her head, a smirk on her lips. "Ohyou, Misa. When are you just going to..."
"When you do." She says eyeing Joe, then looking back at Stella.
Nick chuckles, Kevin fakes a confused look while Joe is sporting a real confused look. "Uhm... what?"
---
Ignoring the oatmeal fight that is now back from Stella and Joe, Kevin turns to Macy. Her eyes are sparkling, a strand of hair falling into her face and Kevin can't resist. He smiles, and that's when his hand begins to move against his orders. Tucking the strand of hair behind her ear, he leaves his hand against her cheek.
Nick clears his throat. But he only gets Joe and Stella's attention. All three of them are looking, but those two are lost in their own world.
With his thumb moving slowly against her cheek, her eyes flutter close. Her lips twitching into a tiny smile. Kevin sighs as the bell rings. "I'll see you after school?" Her eyes open and she nods once. "Mmhm."
Neither of them see it but Kevin leaves her shocked. Himself, too, but he'll deal with that later.
He leaves them all shocked. He grins, kisses her on the forehead and pulls away before he sees anyone's reaction. But most importantly, her reaction. Which is a huge smile, lots of blushing and a silent eek! As she grabs Stella and they do a small dance around the other two Lucas brothers.
---
Nick walks with Joe, because the girls are now discussing what it all meant. Macy thinks it's just him showing her friendlyness and he wants to slap his forehead but he doesn't.
"You should take a leaf out of Kevin's book, Joey."
"Shaddup." Joe's smiling but frowning at the same time and Nick wonders how it's possible.
Nick stops walking, grabbing Joe's arm. "She likes you. You like her. Seriously. Do something... anything!" His voice is quiet enough so that Stella doesn't hear but loud enough for Joe to hear.
The girls walk past them, smiling, waving and a promise of seeing them after the last bell of the day.
Joe waits until they're gone, down the next hall. "What's it matter to you, Cupid?"
The youngest brother shrugs. "We're all sick of you two dancing around the issue. And honestly? I just want to see you both happy."
---
Oh.
Oh my.
Oh my!
Kevin slides into his desk. I can't believe I did that. How am I going to face her after school? I mean, I know she likes me.. but.. but.. what if.. she doesn't want to date me..
That's so stupid, says another voice in his head, sounding much like Stella. You over heard them talking. She wants you, dude. Okay, that sounded like Joe.
He shakes his head and tries to concentrate on his last two classes. And then... then he'll deal with it all.

Author's Note: Okay, I reallyreally hope that this okay. I feel like it stinks. Drop me a line. You hate it, you like it. Don't drop a line. It's all up to you. Thanks for reading! And until next time... Peace & Love,
