And I'm Reaching Out For You

We all were laughing and breathing so heavily, “I liked that song!” Frankie shouted still bouncing on the bed, I laughed, “Well Frank, me and Nick used to do this all the time, even before you were born!” “You did!?” he said laughing at the thought of Nick dancing around like he just was with a boa and hair brush, “Yep, before the rock star days” I said ruffling his hair, he laughed and then jumped off the bed, “I’m going to tell mom!” he ran out and we all laughed, “I’m sure she heard you guys” Kevin said laughing, “I’m going to put on some clothes now” Joe said standing up straight and walking out of the room, “To bad we can’t put this on youtube” Kevin said laughing and holding up the camera, “I’D KILL YOU” nick shouted at him from where he was laying on my bed, boa still on with my sunglasses and hair brush in hand. I grabbed my camera from the desk and snapped a picture of him while I could. “ALLY!” he shouted yanking off the scarf and glasses and throwing them on the bed. I smiled innocently at him, “Don’t worry I can’t, Joe’s in a towel.” Kevin said still continuing the conversation. I laughed at the memory of Joe in his towel dancing. “Okay well I’m going to show mom this, she’ll pee her pants” Kevin said and Nick blushed and I laughed harder. Kevin walked out and I laid down next to Nick, “That brought back memories” he said to me with a smile, “Ha yea we used to do that all the time in my room” I said laughing a little, “I know, dude that’s so embarrassing for me” he said laughing and closing his eyes, “Nah, all boys love the spice girls, no matter what they say” I said closing my eyes, we laid there for a few moments in silence, all I could here was him breathing next to me. “Um Al?” “Yea?” I asked “Selena was wondering if she could help us babysit tonight, you can say no and I’ll just tell her that we got it under control” Nick said to me, I didn’t care if she came over tonight, “Nah it’s cool, she can come I want to meet her anyway” I said with a smile sitting up and grabbing our boas and putting them back away in my closet. Nick put my glasses back on my end table and my brush back in the closet, we were both standing inside, “Are you sure?” he said grabbing me and twisting me around, I laughed “Nick I am positive! I want to meet the girl that went on a date with my boyfriend last night!” he rolled his eyes and could tell I was joking, “It wasn’t a date!” he said pulling me into a hug and I laughed, “I know, but honestly I don’t care if she comes” “Alright, I’ll ask mom after I shower” he said pulling apart from me and following me out of the closet, “Yea you kind of smell” I said joking, “Oh and like you don’t” he shot back while sticking his tongue out and walking out of my room I just laughed and made my way to the bathroom to shower.

“Alright kids, we’ll be home later tonight, maybe midnightish” Mr. Jonas said as Mrs. Jonas was putting on a bracelet, she was having some difficulty so I walked over and clasped it for her, “Thanks honey” she said with a smile, I returned it. “Alright, so midnight, gotchya” Joe said shaking his head, “Joseph, be home by the time we get home okay?” Mrs. Jonas said raising her eyebrows, he shook his head yes, “Mom I’m going to Lindsey'’s house tonight” “Alright, have fun” “How come he doesn’t get a curfew!?” Joe said pointing to Kevin, “Joe he’s twenty” Mr. Jonas said with a chuckle causing me to laugh. I got a glare from Joe that made me shut up though when Mr. and Mrs. Jonas turned around I stuck my tongue out and Frankie laughed. They were walking out the door when Mrs. Jonas stopped, “Oh and Nick, Ally… make sure Frankie’s in bed by ten, and Selena can spend the night if she wants okay?” Great, just what I wanted! Not. “Okay!” I said happily she smiled at me though Nick just looked at me. “Have fun you two!” Joe shouted waving bye from the porch. They waved back to us and we all yelled our good byes and watched them drive off. “Okay, so I’m leaving, I’ll be back later” Joe said hopping over the railing on the porch, “Have fun” I said to him as he ran across the lawn to his car, “I know I will” I said under my breath turning around and heading inside where Frankie was, “Frankie what do you want for dinner?” I asked him, “Um I don’t know, what do we have!?” he said running over to the fridge, I opened the freezer, “How about some chicken fingers and French fries?” “Okay!” he shouted and then ran back into the family room where him and Kevin were watching something. I took out the food and started to place them on a pan to go in the oven, “So Selena is coming at 7ish.” He said pre heating the oven, “Okay” I said with fake enthusiasm. I don’t know why I’m being like this, I mean I don’t even know her yet and knowing my luck she’s going to be the nicest girl ever. “Ally come on you said you didn’t care if she came over” Nick said as I put the pan into the oven, “I don’t” I said pretending to be clueless to what he was talking about, “Ally, you can’t lie to me” I sighed, “I really don’t care, I don’t know why I’m like being so grumpy?” I said trying to find a word to define how I was feeling. “Alright, but trust me she’s a nice girl” “I didn’t know you were such good friends with her” I said walking out of the kitchen and into the room with Kevin and Frankie, they were watching some sports channel. I think I just sounded bitchy, which I didn’t intend on doing….Nick came in a few minutes later but just asked Kev when he was leaving “Um, like now-ish” He answered looking at his phone for the time. “Okay?” Nick answered rolling his eyes and started up stairs, greaaat. I got him in a bad mood. Perfect. “Why is he so testy?” Kevin asked looking at me, I just shrugged. He raised his eyebrows at me, “I don’t know!” I said and he just said, “Alright, if you say so” in that tone that people use on purpose to piss you off, to let you know they still don’t believe you. I just ignored it. “Well I’m going now, Bye Frank, be good to these two” “And Selena!” he chimed in, “Oh Selena’s coming over tonight?” he asked twisting around to me, I shook my head yes. “Friends Ally, that’s all” he whispered in my ear as he hugged me bye, I smiled. Kevin always knew what to say and he always knew what I was thinking. “I know” I mumbled he just smiled and then said bye to Frankie and left. I sighed and the oven went off letting us know that dinner was ready, “Let’s go eat bud” I said picking him up and throwing him over my shoulder, he started laughing hystericaly as I carried him into the kitchen, then the door bell rang. “I got it” Nick’s voice came from the stairs, “Of course you do” I said back a little rude. “Hey Selena” he said to her, “Hey Nick!” she said back, that’s all I heard until I turned around with the pan in my hand and set it down on top of the oven. “Did you eat?” I heard Nick ask from the hallway, they were getting closer. I took a deep breath and exhaled. “Um yea, we were just at dinner” she said to him, I grabbed the chicken fingers and put them all on a plate, then I scrapped the fries off and put them in a serving bowl. “Frankie can you grab the ketchup?” I asked him, “Already got it!” he yelled from his seat and I laughed at him he seemed really excited to eat this food. I set it all down on the table in one trip, I can multitask remember? “What do you want to drink?” I asked him turning back around, I saw Nick coming threw the door and quick opened the fridge, “Um Kool-Aid” “Kool-Aid it is then” I said pulling out the pitcher and pouring him some, for me I just grabbed a bottle of water. “Hi Selena!” Frankie shouted as I twisted around, “Hey Frankie!” She said ruffling his hair while laughing a little, I smiled and my eyes locked with Nick’s I averted my gaze as fast as I could. Smooth Ally. “Hi I’m Ally!” I said as peppy as I could while putting down the drinks, “Hi, I’m Selena!” She said giving me a hug, “Did you eat?” I asked before sitting down, “Oh yea, thanks though” she said with a smile and sat down next to where Nick sat, I sat across from Nick and Frankie sat at the head of the table. We joked around and ate our dinner, by the end of dinner we were throwing chicken fingers at each other and French fries. Nick smashed up a French fry and then put it in my hair rubbing it around, I screamed and then grabbed the ketchup. “Ally you wouldn’t!” he said backing up away from me, “Oh you so know I would” “Ally don’t!” I could hear Selena and Frankie cheering me on in the background. I lunged at him and we fell to kitchen floor I straddled him and took the bottle and raised it above his face, “Ally, don’t! I hate ketchup!!” “Liar!” Frankie yelled from behind me, “Frankie says otherwise” I said with a smirk, “Ally please don’t” he said with pleading eyes, if I was a good girlfriend I wouldn’t, I’d lean in for a kiss and then jump off of him. To bad I’m not. I squirted ketchup all over his face and slopped it around in his hair. He yelped and I started laughing until he flipped me over and grabbed the bottle from me and squirted it all over me. I started screaming and laughing “NICK STOP IT!!” I shouted out while laughing, “I don’t think so!” he shouted smearing it in my hair while I squealed in disgust. I shut my eyes and kept squirming trying to get out from underneath him. Then I felt something really cold being dumped on me, I opened my eyes and saw Nick looking just as shocked as I was, Frankie had just dumped the pitcher of Kool-Aid on both of us. “FRANKIE!” we both shouted at him i jumped up and so did Nick, we ran after him until Selena got him, I grabbed the chocolate sauce out of the fridge and popped it open, “Should we?” I asked Nick, taunting the squirming Frankie. “Oh I think we should.” He said with a mischievous smirk we both turned and Nick grabbed Frankie out of Selena’s arms and I started to pour it all over him. Next I grabbed the whipped cream and started to spray it on him and Nick at the same time, until they both started chasing me again with the chocolate sauce and the whipped cream.
