Chapter 1

"Nick!" I said chasing a five year old Nick around his backyard. He ran all the way over to the tree they had and started to climb it.

"Nick…come down!" I yelled worried. "You'll get hurt.

"No I won't! I'm big enough to not get hurt!" He yelled down from the second branch.

I turned around and saw an eight year old Joe and a ten year old Kevin coming out of their house talking.

"Joey, Kevin…Nick's not listening to me." I said crossing my arms across my body.

"What won't he listen to?" Kevin asked looking up at Nick in the tree playing with the leaves in the tree he had picked out.

"I told him to get down because I thought he would get hurt but all he said was that he was too big to get hurt." I said sticking my tongue out at Nick who seemed not to pay any attention.

"Nick…get down." Kevin said walking over to the tree. I walked over beside Kevin crossing my arms with attitude.

"But I don't want to play with Hailey today." He said looking at me with disgust. "she's ruining my fun." He said then getting down the tree.

He walked over to me and pushed me down.

"Ow…that hurt!" I said looking at my hands.

"Well then maybe you should let me climb MY tree." He said waling over to Joe.

(End Of Flashback)

"Nick!" I yelled as I walked into their house. Their parents are gone for a month and I'm staying with them to make sure they don't get into any kind of trouble.

I'm Hailey Adams. I'm 15 years old and friends with Nick, Joe, and Kevin. We live in Wyckoff, New Jersey. I'm an only child but Nick, Joe, and Kevin…oh and Frankie…are like my brothers I never had. We've known each other our whole lives. I've never really thought of them as anything else.

Joe is really funny and protective. Kevin is also funny but not as much as Joe and he's a cool person to hang with. Nick…well he's usually mean to me but he's gotten quieter over the years. Well back to the story.

I walked up the stairs to be almost knocked over by Kevin…luckily he caught me in time.

"Hey Kevin." I said still in his arms.

"Hey Hailey…oh…I'm sorry." He said blushing and letting me out of his arms.

"Oh…it's okay." I said smiling. "Where's Nick?" I asked looking around.

"He's in his room." He said smiling. He was planning something.

"Hey Nicky!" I said as I walked into his room.

"Don't call me that!" he said as he lightly pushed my arm. He could be mean but he wasn't ever going to actually hurt me.

"So…what was up with Kevin? He was all like blushing and smiling really wide." I said mocking Kevin's facial expressions.

"I'm not sure." Nick said not looking up from his video game he was playing.

I looked around the room when I heard singing, "Nick…is Joe singing?" I asked still looking around the room.

"Yeah. He's writing a new song" He said still not making eye contact

"Okay Nick…since you're so boring I'll just go to see Joe." I said walking out of his room and into Joe's room which was right next door to Nick's

"Hey Joe. Writing?" I asked as I flopped onto his bed.

"Oh…hey Hailey…yeah just writing." He said closing the book he was writing in.

"Can I see what you were writing?" I asked trying to take the book away from him.

"Ugh…no Hailey." He said as we were wrestling to try to get the book away from the other.

"Okay…then…I'll…have to…tickle you." I said as I started to tickle him.

"Haha…stop…ha ha!" he said as I tickled him.

I reached over and took the book away and ran to the other side of the bedroom.

I opened the book and started to read:

She's an underdog Lives next door to me She's always heard you won't amount to anything And it kills me to watch the agony beyond her eyes Tragic the way people pass her by But now I realize ChorusThat everyone sees her But nobody knows her She screams in her pillow For a better tomorrow She hates it But she takes it Watch out for that girl One day she may change the world She's original Never trying to fit in She's got a way to always go Against the grain Oh yea! Someday they'll see how beautiful she really is I know that last will be the first The tables gonna turn cause... ChorusThat everyone sees her But nobody knows her She screams in her pillow For a better tomorrow She hates it But she fakes it Watch out for that girl One day she may change the world Maybe she'll be in a movie Maybe she'll be in a song Better pay her some attention Before she's gone

I closed the book and looked up at Joe who was blushing…I didn't know he could write.

"Joe…that was awesome!" I said as I started to smile. "Are you done writing it?" I asked out of confusion.

"No…it's not done yet." He said as he took the book from my hands.

"Here…I brought my guitar so we can write more…but with music." I said going out into the hall and getting my guitar.

"Okay…show me how it goes." I said as I handed him the guitar.

He started to play and sing. He was amazing! I've never really heard him sing before…but he was great! He finished the part he wrote and looked up.

"So…" He said looking for my opinion.

"It was amazing!" I said. "Do you think I could try singing it?" I asked really wanting to see if I could.

"Okay…are you sure?" He asked unsure of my voice. I've never really sung for anyone.

"Yup…okay start playing." I said as he started to strum the guitar.

She's an underdog Lives next door to me She's always heard you won't amount to anything And it kills me to watch the agony beyond her eyes Tragic the way people pass her by But now I realize ChorusThat everyone sees her But nobody knows her She screams in her pillow For a better tomorrow She hates it But she takes it Watch out for that girl One day she may change the world She's original Never trying to fit in She's got a way to always go Against the grain Oh yea!

I finished the song and his jaw droped.

"Oh my…Kevin! Nick! Get in here!" He yelled out into the hallway.

"Joseph…what's wrong?" Kevin asked as him and Nick came into the room.

"Nothing…hear Hailey sing." He whispered the last part into their ears.

"Why?" Nick asked Joe in confusion.

"Because…I have an idea." Joe said still talking to his brothers.

Chapter 2

"Joe…what are you up to now?" I asked looking up at him with his brothers.

"Um…sing for Nick and Kevin." Joe said sitting back down and getting the guitar again.

"Um…okay." I said picking up the lyrics again.

She's an underdog Lives next door to me She's always heard you won't amount to anything And it kills me to watch the agony beyond her eyes Tragic the way people pass her by But now I realize ChorusThat everyone sees her But nobody knows her She screams in her pillow For a better tomorrow She hates it But she takes it Watch out for that girl One day she may change the world She's original Never trying to fit in She's got a way to always go Against the grain Oh yea!

((Kevin's POV))

When I heard Hailey sing I kinda fell in love…I don't know but I did. She has an amazing voice. I thought I would never say that because I always had thought of her as a younger sister up until my 20th birthday. I wonder if Nick and Joe feel the same.

"Wow…Hailey that was amazing!" I said as I went over to her and gave her a hug.

"Um…thanks…Kevin." She said before I realized what I was doing and let go.

"Well…isn't she amazing Nick?" Joe asked while everyone looked over to Nick.

"Well…I guess she's pretty good." He said with an angry face. What's wrong with him?

"Hey guys I'm going to go out to get some lunch…anyone wanna come?" Hailey asked looking from me to Nick to Joe and back to me.

"I'm fine." Joe said tuning his guitar.

"I've gotta go do something." Nick said walking over to his room.

"Well I'll go." I said looking at Hailey.

"Okay." Hailey said with a huge smile on her face.

"Thanks for coming with me…I need someone to drive me." She said with a giggle. Wow even her giggle is amazing.

"Well anything for you, Hailey." I said as I put my arm around her shoulders.

((Hailey's POV))

When Kevin put his arm around me I felt a tingle go down my spine. I think I kinda like him. But he probably doesn't like me back. I mean, come on…he's like five years older than me! He would never go out with a 15 year old. Well…he has gone out with a 17 year old like a couple months ago.

"Okay…so where are we going?" Kevin asked looking over to me.

"I don't know…where ever you want to go I guess." I said looking for my Taylor swift c.d.

"Okay. And do we have to listen to that?" Kevin asked. He's not a huge fan of country music.

"Yes…and don't whine!" I said putting the c.d. in and turing it to "Mary's Song (Oh My, My, My)".

She said, I was seven and you were nineI looked at you like the stars that shinedIn the sky, the pretty lightsAnd our daddies used to joke about the two of usGrowing up and falling in love and our mamas smiledAnd rolled their eyes and said oh my, my, my

I started to sing when out of the corner of my eye I saw Kevin smiling. I stopped and said, "I thought you didn't like country music!"

"Well…when your singing it, it sounds better." He said blushing.

"Oh…so where are we going?" I asked getting of the subject. I had a slight feeling he liked me…but I wasn't sure.

"We are going to In-And-Out." He said looking out to the road and smiling.

"What are you all happy about?" I asked staring at him.

"Oh…nothing." He said looking away.

"You are such a liar! Tell me…please." I asked giving him puppy eyes.

"No…o…okay! Hailey…I, I really like you." He said blushing like crazy.

"Hey Hailey." Kevin said as he sat down next to me on the bench.

"Hey Kevin." I said wiping and tear from my cheek.

"Hailey…what's wrong?" He asked looking over at me.

"Nick." I said and started to cry again.

I'm 12 right now and I just got back from talking to Nick.

"What did he do?" Kevin asked wiping a tear from my cheek.

"He's been saying things about me and he's been hitting me a lot…it doesn't hurt…but he is just being really mean." I said as I started to cry again.

"Oh Hailey…it's okay." Kevin said as he pulled me into a hug and let me cry into his shirt.

(End of Flashback)

I was speechless. I tried to get words out but they just didn't seem to come out. I couldn't believe that he had just said that! I really want to tell him I like him too…but I don't know how to get it out.

"If you don't like me back it's okay." He said looking sad.

"Kevin…I like you too." I said as we pulled into the parking lot. He parked the car and just sat there.

"You…you do?" He asked looking over to me with questioning eyes.

"I Do." I said.
