Joe: *sighs* Nick, what's going on? Nick: *sighs; bites his lip* Joe: Tell me. Nick: *rubs his eyes* Some of Kevin's new friends...they...they locked me in the janitor's closet and...*sighs* w-whipped me with a belt. Joe: *bites his lip* Was Kevin with them? Nick: *stays silent* Joe: Nicholas Jonas, tell me. Now. Was he there when it happened? Nick: *looks down; nods slowly* Joe: *bites his lip* Was he hurting you? Or was he just there? Nick: *sniffles* H-His f-friends m-made him...d-do this...*stands up and raises his shirt, revealing a bruise* Joe: Did he want to, or was he pressured into it, Nick? Nick: I h-heard him say, "Let me try." Joe: *sighs* Nick, why didn't you fucking tell me? *mad* I would've done something about it! Nick: I w-was scared. T-They said that i-if I told, they'd only do it harder. Joe: That's When You Tell Me! How Could You Let Them Do This To You!? *hears the door; sighs; goes downstairs and opens it* Kevin: *bites his lip* Hey, Joe... Joe: *pulls him inside* Get upstairs. Now. Kevin: *nods; scared; runs upstairs* Joe: *follows him; shuts the door* You two, sit. Talk. I'm not leaving this room. Nick: *sits down, looking down* Kevin: *sits next to him; bites his lip* Nick... I didn't want to hurt you. They made me do it *looks at him* Nick: I h-heard you...y-you said "L-Let me try." *tears fall; lifts his shirt up* D-Do you see what you did? Kevin: *tears form* I know I hurt you. But, Nick... I only said that because, when you were on the ground, crying, the guys all looked at me, since I was standing in the back, not doing anything. They handed it to me. They made me do it. I didn't know what to do, because of all the pressure on me, right now. I'm sorry. You know I don't hate you, and I have nothing against you. I did not mean to hurt you the way I did, and I cant say it enough... I'm so, so sorry. Nick: *stands up* Y-You could have said no! You could have s-stood up for me! I n-never want to see you again! *more tears fall; walks to his bedroom and lays on the bed; starts crying* Kevin: *crying; feels horrible; goes to his room* Nick, wait! *stands next to his bed* N-Nick... f-family, remember? We're all b-best friends. Me, you, Joe, Emily, Demi, and Selena. Nothing's changed. You have n't made an attempt to talk to anybody since Joe's not in school anymore. Im sorry I have new friends. But, if you were my friend, I'd ditch them all, and stand up for you, just so you can't get hurt anymore. Nick: *doesn't answer him; crying into the pillows* Kevin: *sits next to him; whispers* Please look at me, Nick... Nick: *gets off the bed and goes into his and Joe's bathroom; shuts and locks the door; texts Joe: Joey, please make Kevin leave.* Joe: *texts back: Just talk to him, Nick. He's trying to be a friend. It's what you need, to be honest.* Nick: *sniffles; texts back: Joey, please.* Joe: *texts back: Work it out.* Nick: *gets mad and throws his phone against the wall; pulls his knees to his chest and just cries* Joe: *hears it; sighs; opens his textbook; studying* Kevin: *leaves* -That Night- Joe: *taking another test, online* Nick: *sitting in Joe's office, watching the rain fall; waiting for him to finish his test* Joe: *rubs his eyes; takes a sip of coffee; continues taking it* Nick: *sniffles; wipes his eyes; leans back in the chair; closes his eyes* Joe: *sighs; mumbles* Mother fucker...*finishes it; lays his head on the keyboard* Nick: *looks at him; talks quietly* Are you finished? Joe: *sighs* Yes. Unfortunately. Nick: *thinks he's mad; stands up* O-Oh...o-okay. *walks to the door* Joe: Where are you going? Nick: T-To bed... Joe: *looks at him* No goodnight kiss? That hurts. Nick: *looks at him, tears falling* Y-You s-seem m-mad... Joe: *shakes his head* Stress. College is hard, Nick. I have no reason to be mad with you. Nick: *nods and runs into his arms* I L-Love Y-You! *hugs him tight* Joe: *rubs his back* And, I love you. Nick: *whispers* I'm s-so sorry for n-not telling you and f-for being the b-biggest b-brat in the world. Joe: *shakes his head* You're not. Dont apologize
