chapter two, (𝗽𝘁 2). 𝗹𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. year: 2009.

joe didn’t have time to be pissed at his brothers antics because his best girl was here. it just took him a while to realize… that his best girl was here.

which meant that his free time was spent annoying her, while she was choreographing extras (she took her job of choreographing very seriously.)

his brothers (frankie included, because he had somehow used his charm to get into the cast) would watch joe watch bora with a sick smile on his face.

however - there was one problem. and that problem lay in the name of demi lovato.

demi was sweet, confident but not overly brazen, outgoing but not obnoxious. she had the composure that bambi found out she herself did not possess. she was pretty, really pretty. and worst of all? she was joes love interest, the mitchie torres to his shane gray.

stupid fucking movie, why the fuck did she agree to this?

joe noticed how bora slowly started to distance himself from him, less nights spent sneaking out of hotels to get food, less nights where he fell asleep on top of her while she yapped about sonny angels, and less moments during filming where they exchanged big and goofy smiles.

joe is a golden retriever. he means well, but he’s a bit too slow to notice that she’s been avoiding him because it hurts her to stage “wouldn’t change a thing” and watch joe and demi kiss on stage, all while harbouring feelings for her weird, very clingy, childhood best friend.

it had been a few weeks of filming, and the movie was almost done. bee had snuck out of the hotel and ran all the way to the set, and was currently sitting at the docks, staring blankly at the lake. shane and mitche. mitchie and shane.

when would it be her turn? she watched his girlfriends come and go, patiently waiting. should she just tell him how she felt?

“hey.”

she turned around to see the scientifically most beautiful 20 year old to ever exist. joe. he had a jacket wrapped around him, shivering a bit because of the cold. his eyes were red, and he moved with a grace about him that said he might pass out from exhaustion.

she didn’t speak, just let him sit next to her and collapse his head onto her shoulder.

“bee?” joe mumbled, not looking up.

“yeah? whats up joey?” she asked him, and grabbed his hand, fiddling with this rings. including the purity ring.

“how come you’re ignoring me? we never hang out anymore.”

“you’re busy with filming, we don’t have much time.” bora rested her head on top of his. from far away, any normal sane person would think that this was a romantic moment between an already established couple..or something.

“yeah but like- like you’re avoiding me.” he pouted.

“no im not.”

“yuh huh.”

“nuh uh.”

“quit the shit bora. im worried.” he moved his head from her shoulder and looked her dead in the eye.

those eyes. those damn eyes that made him look like a giant kicked beautiful puppy.

“are you in love with her joe?” she spat it out before she could even think properly about what she was saying.

”wait..who am i in love with?”

“demi.”

”no! she’s just a friend. wait why?” joseph looked confused as to why his best friend suddenly cared about who he was in love with.

“nothing! just..like..uh…” “just gotta make sure you’re not..breaking girls hearts?” she made a show of looking in every direction except the one where joe was blinking.

“what’s your love life like these days?” bora asked him.

“what type of fuckass question is that?” joe snorted, leaning back into her, his head on her chest. he smiled. she was so slow, and he was so scared. was this the time to confess? while he was pondering, he suddenly heard sniffling.

“bee! bora?” he looked up, and saw her eyes threatening to leak tears. “are you okay? what’s with the tears?” he frantically started wiping the tears off her face, doting, just like a husband.

“im fine. ‘m fine..just tired.” she smiled at him, still teary eyed, but smiling with a small smile on her face.

that’s when he realized that he had fucked everything up, right there and then, because bora lee had fallen for HIM and was in love with him- and he had assumed she was too cool and nonchalant for him.

okay. one, two, three.

“bora. bee, hey? look at me.” joe forced her to look in his direction.

“huh? yeah?” “i love you. you’re everything to me, you know that?” he did it. joseph did it! he finally confessed!

“what?”

“what?” joe looked at her shocked face. bora looked as if she just got hit with a gun or some shit, with her eyes blown wide and her lips slightly parted from pure shock.

“its always been you bora, don’t you get it?” he braced himself. “ever since we met, ive loved you. im just so fucking scared, you know?” he could feel his own eyes start to tear up at his rare ability to be heartfelt.

“scared? of what? you’ve been dating half the damn industry!”

“im scared of you! and how much i love you! i mean look at you bee-.” he stood up and gestured at her. “you’re so unreal looking. you’re so perfect, it’s insane, and i can never live up to you and..and..”

“joe. calm down. joe, snap the hell out of it!”

she grabbed his face, a bit roughly she admitted, but she knew his freaky ass was probably into it. “im not perfect. not at all, you’re just weird.” she grinned.

he giggled, his words a bit muffled from her hands. “get your hands off my face. please, for the love of god.” he kept laughing.

“fine.” she let go.

joe moved quickly, standing so close to her he could hear her breathing, his hand lightly held her waist, and oh god how he loved her eyes. he loved how her eyes were always sparkling, and how especially sparkly they looked now, with the leftover tears from earlier.

her hands moved to find the back of his neck, and the opposite side of his waist. the slow burn was at its peak, to the point were if nick and kevin were there, they’d smash their heads together just to see what they’ve been waiting for, for almost a decade.

“can i kiss you? please?” he sounded so pathetic, he looked so adorable, just a grown puppy looking man waiting to do something that he’d been waiting to do for ages.

“you don’t gotta ask.” she smiled, pulling his hair a bit to help him.

“wait..’m scared.”

“acting like you haven’t kissed girls before.” “fuck you! that’s different.” he mumbled, before finally going for the kill.

the kiss was messy, slow, and..not perfect. the warmth of her lips on his, the heat on her body, made him mess up a bit. their noses bump for a second, they let go, stare at eachother, and start laughing.

“ow..sorry..” he rubbed his nose, a bit sweaty from the whole kissing thing, and from how nervous he was. he didn’t even notice that bora pulled him back in.

chapter two, reunited. year: 2009.

the jonas brothers currently smelled like piss, sweat, and airplane food. it was a feeling all three of them have gotten used to, thanks to being the poster boys of boyband-dom and disney.

and today they were back on the set of camp rock, ready to film the sequel. joe had grown from a lanky little shithead to a shithead with a hot face, big puppy eyes, and biceps.

one thing that didn’t change was the fact that he still yearned for bora everyday. they would call and text whenever they could, but at some point it had fizzled out. he’d seethe with jealousy when kevin or nick mentioned that she was still keeping in contact with them.

so why not him?

he kept wondering this as he exited his hotel room, and heard loud giggling that sounded exactly like melted honey-

wait.

no.

could it be?

he turned left, and ran to where he heard the giggling, and saw her laughing with kevin and nick. his first reaction was that she looked beautiful, and she had clearly aged.

her hair was no longer painfully straight, but it fell down in soft waves, and she was taller, almost as tall as him (which didn’t count for much, honestly.)

she was still so beautiful. even more so.

“where’s joe?” she asked nick, pulling away from the hug she had embraced him in (thank god).

“probably jerking his shit to-“

“dude!”

joe decided to lose all self restraint he had, and suddenly teleported right next to his brothers, giggling quietly, while he engulfed her into a giant bear hug, pulling her up in the air, just a little bit.

“AHHH WHAT THE FUCK? oh. it’s you, isn’t it?” she said, and tried her best to hug joe back, since she was being suffocated.

he let her go, and she turned around and hugged him back. joseph was basically in heaven- he had almost forgotten what she had smelled like.

she smelled like honey, like sweet, sweet honey, and blueberry muffins. her skin was so soft, so smooth and warm. dear god he loved bora lee. why did they still love bora lee?

because she was bora lee. duh.

kevin and nick crept away, to leave the future couple to their reunion, while they decided to go hang out with their camp rock cast friends. the 17 year old giggled at their obvious attraction to eachother. “$20 they kiss in the next month?” he turned to kevin, who should objectively be his older responsible brother, who should scold Nicholas for wanting to take part in such childish activities, but he grinned back.

chapter one: 2005, the start of an era (pt3)

“you’re MOVING?!”

joe had rushed back upstairs the second he heard the news. what the hell? why didn’t she tell him? it wasn’t possible. no.

he chucked the chips onto his bed and stared at her, shocked. kevin and nick turned around and stared at her, confused and a bit disappointed as to why she didn’t tell them.

“like..neighbourhoods?” nick tried to be positive. maybe she was just moving just a bit farther away from their house? “no. we’re moving to new york.” bora said so quietly that they almost didn’t hear her.

the minute she said that, joe felt his world evaporate right in front of him. she was moving. bora, his best friend, the girl he had a secret crush on since they were kids, was moving. and he might never see her again.

“when?” kevin asked her, trying to retain some sense of normalcy. “..friday.”

it was a wednesday.

“FRIDAY?!?-“ joe practically fell to his knees at this point. “you’re leaving in two days, and didn’t bother to tell us? didn’t bother to tell me?”

he hugged her again, and didn’t let go. she couldn’t leave, she couldn’t. “ill hide you in my room bambi, you can sleep on my bed, ill sleep on the floor-.”

“joe. joe shut up.” she snapped, but still held him.

“sorry.”

“this just means we have to make the most of the two days we get with you.” kev stood up, deciding to take his older brother role seriously. “besides, new york isn’t that far. we could totally visit, right Joe?”

“yeah..sure.” he mumbled, his voice muffled by her body.

the two days flew by faster than you could say “im shane gray for crying out loud!” the 3 brothers spent every minute possible with their best friend, in music studios, jumping in swimming pools, and acting like teenagers. joes favourite memory was when it was just the two of them. the group had gotten slushies and nick and kevin went home early, chortling as they imagined joe probably begging her not to leave the next day, being the typical clingy best friend he was.

the future couple sat on a bench in the park there were in, and silence fell over them, the kind of silence where they could both reflect on everything.

she turned to joe, and grabbed his hand, his fingers tightly embraced with her own.

“im gonna miss you, you know.” she had told him, looking at joe, and he couldn’t help but notice she was crying.

bora lee NEVER cried.

“like a lot, joe. i know i don’t say it much, but you’re my best friend, and you’re so important to me.”

joe burst into tears after she expressed this rare sight of affection from her.

“oh my god, come here you idiot.” she pulled him into a hug. bora lee never hugged anyone first. she never even hugged joe first.

“we won’t be apart forever, i can feel it.” joe told her.

“sure you can..”
