Timeless Love || Nick Carter

Chapter 5

Y/N's POV

I was really happy I got a job. My parents never let me get a job because they said that I'm so rich and I don't need one. I am just trying to live a normal life like a normal kid, I don't want their rich privilage.

I get back in the studio and I spot Nick talking with the manager. When they saw me, they stopped talking. Hmm, really weird.

"Alright, we can go now." I say to Nick.
"Ok, bye, Scott."
"Bye, guys." Scott says and me and Nick leave the records.

"Where do you wanna go?" Nick asks me.
"Well, you know the city. You choose."
"Alright, how about me go get some pizza. The restaurant is very close to here and I love the place. It serves really great pizza."
"Yeah, sure. I'm pretty hungry."

Present Day

???'s POV

"M'am, could you please tell us where the parents live?"
"I couple of streets away. It's a big, brown, luxurious house. You cross this street and go forward and it should be there."
"Alright, thank you, miss."
"No problem. Good luck in finding your music box!"
"Thank you!"

Great, atleast we know something. Me and my friend started walking to this house. After like 5 minutes, we get there. This house looked pretty familiar.

We knock on the door and to my suprise, I see my sister..

"Hel- Uncle John and his best friend, Ian? Why are you guys visiting? What happend?"

Oh, shit. I can't tell my family about this, it's a major secret, but if I don't, then I might never get the music box back and put Y/N through danger. If she stays too long there, she might disappear.

"We have some information.."
"On what?" she answers me.
"On my niece.."

Y/N's POV

Me and Nick were having a fun time together. I know I said he is annoying and all that, but he is actually pretty cool.

"Alright, so could you tell me about your family a bit? Why'd you ran away and all that, if you feel comfortable, of course."
"Oh, well. I guess, I can. Me and my family have a very distant relationship. Since I was young, my dad used to be so invested into his business. He is very rich and he barely came home. I never really cared about money and that, all I wanted is for him to spend time with me, but he never really cared about me. My mom is very strict, also she seems to only care his money and because of that, she tolerates his bullshit. She always talks badly with me and calls me words. One night, I found my dad cheating on my mom in my room while I was out with friends. It broke my heart and I told my mom the other day and she called me horrible for 'spying on dad'. He was literally on my fucking room. Anyways, at dinner I got mad and I ran away.

Nick's POV

Wow, I never thought she's going through so much. I wish I could help her in some way.

"I'm very sorry, Y/N. I wasn't rich from the day I was born. I got my money by working with the Backstreet Boys. My so called mom got me into the industry when I was very young. She only wanted me to be famous so she could make money. Once I became an adult I moved away. I couldn't stand her anymore. She even embarassed me on national TV. I am very worried about my little brother Aaron. I care a lot about him and I don't want him to be ruined by mom. She also wants to get him into this industry. This industry isn't actually all rainbows. It's pretty dark." I say and then I sigh.
"I am very sorry also and sorry for calling you a brat. You were right, I never really knew you, but I'm happy I can do now. You helped me a lot and I was very pushy. I'm just having a hard time getting to trust people and I had a hard time believing someone could help me and not want anything in return."
"It's fine. I'm happy we're all good now."

Then the waiter came in and gave our bill.

"I'll pay." I say.
"No, don't. I can pay."
"With what money?" I ask her.
"Oh, yeah, right. I'm not used to not having money, but I feel better cause I ran away and I can now do what I want."
"It's always good to be on your own." I say and I hand the money to the waiter.

Y/N's POV

"Would you wanna walk along the beach? Unless, you're tired and you wanna go to sleep. I can buy you a room in a ho-"
"Yeah, sure and I feel bad already. I will need to pay you back."
"Not need to, really." he says and he gaves me an honest smile and I gave him a smile back.

We walked along the beach. There was no one around and the breeze was very refreshing. When I was walking with him I felt safe, I felt like he understands me somehow.

"The night is very beautiful and look, it's a full moon." I say.
"Yes. I love walking at night and thinking about my day when I'm stressed. Being a celebrity is really fun, but I also miss the old lifestyle. Sometimes, I wish I could just be a normal kid again and play basketball with friends and go to school."

"Yeah, I can't imagine having so many paparazzis following you and stuff." I say.
"It's very annoying actually. I can't even have some privacy. Look, there's a shooting star." he says and then he points his finger to the sky. "Make a wish."
"I wish my carreer as a songwriter will go well."
"Hey, wishes shouldn't be said out loud."
"That's a myth. You can say them."
"Yeah, sure. I won't ruin my wish because of you."
"Why? Is there something you're hiding from me?"
"No, don't feel too special." he tells me and then we both laugh.

Without realising, I was staring into his blue eyes. His eyes were very beautiful and the lighting of the moon was reflecting into his eyes. I felt like I could drown in them.

I quickly look away and look at the moon again. I don't know what I'm feeling right now and I don't want him to feel like I'm weird and I'm staring too much.

"I think it's pretty late and I'll have to go to work tomorrow, right?" I say and I look at him again.
"You're right. Let's go to the hotel nearby and I'll buy you a room."

We then arrive at the hotel and he buys me a room.

"I really feel bad, so after I start work and get my paycheck, I'll pay you."
"It's fine trust me. I had fun tonight. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night!" he tells me.
"Good night!"

"Wait a second.." he tells me.
"Yeah?"
"Here's some extra money, you might need to get some food and clothes."
"You're really making me hard to pay you back, Nick.."
"No, need to, really."
"Just shut up."
"Oh, the sarcastic Y/N is back. I missed her."
"I wasn't even sarcastic, dang, Nick, you really need to learn about this word.." and then we laugh and I head upstairs to my room.

I open the door of my room and I just throw myself on my bed. God, damn, I stink. I've been wearing these clothes for about some time now. I really need new ones.

I go to the bathroom, take my clothes off and hop in the shower. I turn the water up and drops of hot water drop on my body.

Obviously, I couldn't stop thinking about Nick. When I looked into his eyes, I felt something, I never felt before. Could I possibly like him? No, how could I? I barely met him..but he behaved so nice to me and all that. I've never even felt anything like this to anyone and he is from another fucking year. It will never work out. Gosh, Y/N, you are so stupid.

When I thought about it, I also thought about how the fuck can I get back and where is the music box?
