Numb- Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas

7

Nick

It's been two weeks. Two weeks since I got the text that shattered me.

Demi; I'm sorry, this isn't working anymore. I can't do this. Goodbye.

I didn't want to believe it, but I guess the dozens of calls and text she rejected and ignored should've made it pretty clear, but the thing that killed me was the now pictures of her and Wilmer everywhere. She had a smile on her face in all of them, but I couldn't forget the word she screamed to me, that she wished all of it was me. She was stalling, trying to stop the things she was feeling for me.

I found myself thinking of her, the way she breathed against me or the way her nails pierced the skin on my shoulders, whenever I tried to sleep on the bed we'd spent so many nights together. I found myself dialing her number, then deleting it at least fifty times a day. I wanted to hear her voice, but at the same time I valued her happiness over my own. If Wilmer could somehow give her something that I couldn't, I except that, and try to be okay with the fact that I'd lost her. My music was getting more and more depressing, but I didn't let anyone else see it, not even my brothers. I just wanted Demi..

"So you've recently been rumored to be working with a certain Demi Lovato, is there any truth to that?"

The interviewer wagged his eyebrows and I hope he didn't notice the stab of pain that ripped open my heart I just question and the mention of her name.

"Um... Not right now, but who knows?" I shot a charming and hopefully convincing smile at the camera as the interviewer went on to ask questions. It's seemed to drag on forever before I was allowed to smile, shake his hand, and walk away.

"Nick!" I turned, and saw Olivia standing there with a smile on her face.

"Hey Liv."

She smiled, "How is everything going?"

I shoved my hands in my pockets and shrugged, "Good I guess."

She sighed, "Still nothing?"

She knew about the Demi situation when she didn't she come over in a moment of weakness on my part.

"Nope."

Olivia smiled, "Well I have an idea that might help you with that." I raised an eyebrow to get her to go on , "Jealousy."

Apprehensively, I nodded, "Okay... Explain?"

She smiled, "Demi obviously doesn't like me and you together, so if she thinks were dating, then we break up and she might reach out to you."

I rocked back of my heels and sighed, "I don't know... That's not a very good idea, it could it could go seriously wrong."

Olivia shrugged, "Or completely right."

After another second of deliberation I see a photographer walking toward us, I have to make a decision quickly.

"Fine. Now smile."

I grabbed her waist to mine and looked into her eyes pretending she was Demi as a dreamy look came over my face, filled with love. Reality struck me hard in the face as a flash of the camera washed over the both of us.

"Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo, haven't seen you two here in a while, want to give us a statement?"

Putting my acting skills to the test, a slight blush spread of my cheeks as I put on a sly smile, "We're just really happy now."

He raised the camera, "One more shot?"

Olivia moved with me as I pulled her tiny waist to mine and she laid her hand on my chest, looking at the camera with a stunning gaze. After he snapped the shot, the photographer scurried away and I gently pulled away from Olivia.

"You really think this will work?"

She rolled her eyes and nodded, "Trust me, I know women."
