You are the older sister of Nick Jonas. His and your mother died two days ago after a long battle with cancer. When you were kids, Nick was always closest with your guys' mother. You never had the type of relationship Nick and your mother had, but you always loved her with your whole heart.

Nick had been living in Cleveland, Ohio, pursing his career as an author. You stayed in New Jersey with your guys' dad and step-dad, taking care of your mother. Nick grew further away from you and your dad, and closer to your mom. You and Nick used to he close when you were children, but now...it's awkward between the two of you since he's been gone for so long.

It was especially awkward when you called him on the phone, one day, crying. It was the call that let him know that cancer had defeated your mother. You told Nick to come back home, to New Jersey, so he could help out with the funeral.

Nick took the next flight home. Your and his dad offered to drive him home, but Nick, being the distant 28 year old he is, declined. Nick decided to take an UBER instead.

Nick didn't want to deal with the fact that he just lost his mother. He'd rather hide behind jokes and sarcastic comments, which really pisses you off. You know you have to be there for your little brother, especially during a time like this. You want him to take things seriously and face reality. You need his help to plan for your mother's funeral. It will be difficult since you have to deal with it, yourself.

Nick had just arrived at your and his dad's house, and found a guest room. You and your dad didn't realize Nick was home, until you saw the guest room light on. You things won't be easy between the two of you, but you need to try for your little brother. You knocked on the door, and heart Nick call back with a quiet,

"Come in."
