Epilogue: Two months later

Macy bounced on the ball of her feet as she pretended to listen to Stella rambling next to her. This was it. This was the day the boys were coming back home, and while all the fan girls were waiting at the firehouse in anticipation of their idols' return, the two girls who actually knew the boys were standing in the middle of nowhere, waiting for the JONAS private jet to land.

There was really no reason to be nervous, Macy told herself for the fiftieth time that morning. It was just the guys. Despite their distance, she had kept in contact with them throughout the summer, listening to and reading Nick's complaints about how much she needed to be around to distract Kevin and to Joe's worries about whether she was alright despite the distance between them.

And then, there had been Kevin. And that was the problem; Kevin had been Kevin. There hadn't been a word about the confession he had left her on video for her, and despite many e-mails, text messages and a few calls, they had remained as they had been all year. Macy could notice some flirtation that had always been there and that she'd never caught onto, but she certainly didn't feel confident enough to say they were now a couple. Really, she had no idea what the day was going to bring.

"Macy, are you even listening to me?" Stella asked with a huff.

"No."

"What do you mean, no?"

"I like Kevin."

"I know. You're their number one fan. You like all the guys."

Macy shook her head. "No. I really like Kevin."

"You really like... Oh, wait, like you like like Kevin?"

"Yeah."

"Wow. Macy..."

"And he knows."

Though she wasn't looking over at her friend, Macy could just imagine how wide Stella's eyes had already grown from their conversation.

"Wow."

"You said that already."

"Do you think he..."

Macy smiled. "Yeah. I really do."

"Aww, Macy that's... Wait a minute, are you and Kevin going to officially hook up before Joe and I do?"

"Stella, Nick will be married with three kids before you and Joe get married, and you know how picky Nick is."

"That's just mean," Stella answered, crossing her arms in front of her chest and sticking her bottom lip out in a pout. The expression didn't last long as the sight they had been waiting for finally appeared. The boys were home.

Macy balled her hands into fists as she tried to find some way of containing the nervous energy that filled her. The last thing she wanted was to somehow injure the boys right as they were coming home.

The first to reach them was Nick, suitcase in hand and easy grin on his face. He gave Stella a hug, then wrapped his free arm around Macy.

"Thank God. Please get Kevin to shut up. If I have to hear one more story about some talking mammal..."

Macy giggled as Nick walked away from her still mumbling to himself. Summer school might actually have been looking good after being stuck with his two older brothers in a confined space most of the summer.

Joe was next, bouncing toward the girls and stopping suddenly when he spotted Macy. He stuck his arm out to her.

"Good seeing you, Macy."

She shook his hand.

"You too, Joe."

"I hope you were okay, the whole summer without me."

"I survived."

Joe nodded. "I'm going to hug Stella now. I hope you understand."

Macy bit the inside of her cheek and nodded. At least there would always be one person in the world even more hopeless than her.

And then she waited. She watched as Kevin shook hands with some of the crew and other members of the tour that stood outside the plane. He had a few words with each of them, slowly making his way closer and closer to her.

Finally, he was standing in front of her.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"I'm glad you came," Kevin told her, his hand playing with the strap of his bag.

"I was happy to wait."

Kevin smiled at the word.

"You waited?"

Macy nodded, then shrugged. "I waited all year. What was another two months?"

Kevin bit his lip and took a look around them. His eyes fell back on Macy, and it was his turn to shrug.

"I'm sorry I made you wait."

"That's—"

And then his lips were on hers. One year of fawning over Kevin and trying to convince herself that there was nothing there, and here he was, convincing her that that was definitely not true.

There were lips. There were sparks. There was definitely something.

Macy smiled as they broke apart and Kevin took her hand in his, leading her toward the car that was waiting for them.

"So, where do you want to go on our first date? It's got to be good. I made you wait a year, and I'm making up for Joe and Nick's failed dates."

Macy leaned in closer to Kevin and let him lead her away as she thought about the question.

"Wait," Macy heard behind her, tightening her grip on Kevin's hand at the words, "I thought Macy was in love with me."

"You're an idiot, Joe," Nick offered as he leaned against the car, waiting for everyone to be ready to leave.

"Did you know about this?" Joe asked Stella as he chose to ignore his younger brother.

"Nick is going to be married with three kids before we are officially together!"

"Why do I always get dragged into these things?" Nick whined.

Macy rolled her eyes at the noise. She fastened her seatbelt and shifted to face Kevin who sat next to her in the van.

"I don't care what we do or where we go," she told Kevin, "as long as they don't come along."

"I can handle that," Kevin answered with a nod. He smiled at her and pulled her body against his so they could snuggle together on the way home.
