Chapter 19
2 months later in the tour bus-
"Hey Nick??" I asked peeking into his bunk. He sighed and shot me a weird
glance.
"What?" He asked sounding annoyed.
"I was just going to ask you if ya wanted to play nintendo with me." I said
somewhat hurt at his tone.
"No, I don't." He said bluntly.
"Well, aren't we the blunt one?" I said sarcastically then continued, "I
was just trying to be NICE" I yelled.
"I just DON'T WANT TO PLAY OKAY??" he asked exasperated.'
"Fine." I said my voice shaking. Then I walked away. I crawled into my bunk
and started shaking violently as tears cascaded down my face. I guess I expected
that to happen, it's been happening a lot lately, Nick has been really distant,
we hardly ever talk anymore and when we do, we end up in a yelling match.
I don't know what I did but whatever it was, it must have been pretty bad.
Jason and I on the other hand have been getting extremely close, about 6
weeks ago he and I became an official couple. AJ says that Nick is really
upset about that because he thinks that Jason wants something from me, but
I KNOW that something else is bothering Nick, I just know it, I can feel
it.
"Princess, you okay?" AJ asked as he sat by my side and pulled me into an
embrace.
"Will it ever be normal again? My gosh, you'd think that I threatened to
hurt him if he spoke to me!" I said softly.
"I know, I don't get it either, he'll come around, someday anyway." Then
I heard AJ mumble "I hope"
Later that month-
"Hello" I answered my cell phone, we are on our way back to Orlando, the
guys just finished their American tour and in 3 months we are off to Europe
for MORE touring!!
"Hey sweetie." I heard Jason's voice say.
"Hey" I said softly.
"You know, there is a very special date coming up really soon don't ya?"
Jason asked.
"Yeah, Jase, I know, it's our three month anniversary." I stated flatly,
Jason's really been getting on my nerves, he calls every few days to ask
if me and Nick are still fighting, it's like he wants us to be fighting.
"So, 3 months is a really long time huh?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, I guess, look, I really have to go, someone's calling me I think."
"Are you and Nick still at each others throats?" He chuckled. What did I
tell ya, EVERY phone call is the same, we make small talk and then he asks
if 'me and Nick are still fighting'.
"Yeah, I'll talk to you later." I said
"Bye babe"
"Bye" Then I hung up.
Later that Night-
I was walking back to my bunk after getting a drink when someone bumped into
me. I knew instantly who it was, someone I always thought would be there,
guess I was wrong huh?
"Sorry" He said, I guess I was a little hopeful about what he was apologizing
about.
"REALLY?" I practically screeched.
"Yeah, I bumped into you, sorry." He said, I hung my head and started walking
away.
"It's okay, don't worry about it."
Nick's POV-
I watched her walk away. Why am I always so mean to
her? I really don't mean to hurt her, I just need time to sort out my feelings
I guess. It hurts me to see her hurting, especially when I know I cause it.
I guess I'll sleep on it, I seem to be sleeping out a lot of things
lately.
