I'll Be Fine A Nick Jonas Story (Book Two)

Chapter 28

Joe's POV

Where the hell is Nick and Shannon? They're missing the party. Obviously the party started once I arrived and I was the first one here. I had to get the place all decked out and ready for tonight. I ordered in a decent size stage with mics and speakers. We're going to have a sing off with all the singers that show up. Nick and Shannon don't know about it. They also have no idea I placed both their names for a duet. With a special song that I picked for them.

Nick finally walked in the room with furry in his eyes. He made his way straight to the side bar and ordered a beer. I went towards him and sat on the bar stool to his left. His back arched a little as he stood against the white and gray marble counter.

"What's up with you?" I asked him.

"Nothing," he mumbled taking a drink from his beer.

"It doesn't look like nothing. Where's Shay?" His body tensed at the sound of her name.

"Outside or something. I don't know and I don't really care." He took another swig. I crossed my arms.

"Is that anyway to treat our friend?" I huffed back.

"Your friend," he growled. He then picked himself up and carried himself away from the conversation and my presence. Well then, that makes my plan 10x's harder.

I made my way outside and saw Shannon standing alone. My guess is that she's waiting for Ryan. I noticed that she's wearing Nick's jacket. To the left of me I saw him walking angrily towards her.

Shannon's POV

As Ryan made his way towards me. I took a step back. He looked extremely pissed, and I have no idea why.

"I go out of my way to let you hang with that creature and you come back wearing his clothes?" He said coldly.

"I was cold and-"

"I don't want to hear your excuses. I want you to stay away from that man," he voice raged.

"You don't have to worry about him anymore. It's done," I explained to him. Those words felt and tasted like toxic to say out loud.

"Good, that's good," his face softened. "Let's go enjoy the party." He grabbed my hand once I pulled the jacket off. I handed it to Joe on the way in. He gave me a questionable look while I just sighed.

The place was packed full of people and friends. Nick wasn't anywhere to be found. Not that I was looking. I got lead to the dance floor. "E.T." By Katy Perry filled the room. Ryan placed his hands on my waist as we danced. As I was trying to be in the moment. I couldn't stop thinking about Nick.

My thoughts had stopped when Ryan kissed my lips. He tasted like he just ate a orange. When he pulled away my eyes caught Nick starring at us from the other side of the room. With his beer in one hand and his broken heart on the other. He walked out of view. I closed my eyes as my head rested on Ryan's chest. He then broke away and went in the direction of the bar. I sighed as I stood here alone, but it wasn't for long. Joe walked to me and placed his arm on my shoulder.

"Are you ready to preform tonight?"

"Huh? Preform what?" I asked.

"You'll see," he said with a devilish grin. Then disappeared in the mist of people.

"What are you talking about?" I yelled after him. "Joseph!... Joe, what did you do?" My calling for him became pointless. I guess I'll have to go with whatever he has planned.

Before I knew it Joe had taken center stage. I made my to the front, so I don't have to stare at the back of heads the entire time. Once I got up front I ran into someone.

"Oh, I'm so sorr-" Nick turned and glanced down towards me. He then disappeared in the crowd. Not saying a single word to me. "Sorry," I finished my sentence. To a ghost of a man whom I've hurt very badly. Ryan then found me and wrapped me in his arms. They aren't as strong nor as protecting as Nick's.

"Hey everyone! How are you all feeling tonight?" He yelled in the microphone. The audience roared in response. "That's great to hear! Now, tonight we're going to have a Sing Off with all the famous singers here tonight. The winner will be chosen by you and this is what they'll win!" He showed off in display a Gold Microphone statue. It's about medium sized and could fit in the palm of someone's hand. It was quite beautiful actually. "The catch is you can't sing your own song. So, allow me to get changed as your first performer. We all clapped as he made his way be hide the black curtain. Some guys started to dragged a dancing poll on stage. I expected to be for a female Pole Dancer. I was way wrong.

Joe stepped out wearing black short shorts with a high top glittery golden tank top. A black leather jacket and golden shoes. I cuffed my hand over my mouth and laughed with everyone else. Oh my God, I love this kid! "Can't Be Tamed," by Miley Cyrus played and I laughed even harder.

So far the best part of tonight was watching Joe make a fool of himself, as always. The way he moved his body with the pole was actually quite sexy. He made a lot of girls out there scream. He re entered the stage back in his normal clothes and took a bow. The next singer was then announced. Miley Cyrus sang, "Chandler" by Sia. Demi Lovato, "My heart Will Go On." Selena, "Fly With Me" by The Jonas Brothers. Just to name a few.

My mind then became impaled when he announced a duet between Nick and I. So this was his thoughtless plan. The last place I would want to be is onstage with Nick. Especially with my Fiancé' standing right in front of me.
