Pieces of my Heart (Nick Jonas)

Part 22: Keep It In The Closet

~beep beep

Crap I forgot I have school today. I ran into my closet and started throwing things everywhere.

"L. Bee. What are you doing?' Kevin mumbled in his groggy voice

"Trying to find an outfit for school"

"Oh crap we forgot to tell you huh?" Kevin replied

"tell me what?" I stopped mid search and turned towards him

"School's cancelled for you this week, Dad pulled some strings, the professors agreed because with you so far ahead already they're running out of busy work to give you."

" sleep I can so?" I said walking back over to him.

"yes yoda" he chuckled

"you are soo my favorite band member." I snuggled up to him and closed my eyes

"that hurt lemondrop"

"who was that?!" Kevin said getting paranoid and popping up.

"relax kevy its just my boyfriend" I laughed, pushed him down and then tried to close my eyes again when a thought crossed my mind

"oh and Joe?"

"hmm."

"you should totally 'break up with me' I know just the person, who would love to be your real girlfriend, she just doesn't know that I know that she'd love it. That way I can date Taylor Lautner" I giggled...yea now im up.

"nah, I think I'll stick with you. You're honest, a cradle robber, but honest"

"ha ha ha k. well im going back out there, you two can stay in here I don't really care."

"Be careful L. bee"

"of what? Lol go back to sleep"

I grabbed my notebook and went out into the mini living room where Bridget was knocked out on the futon and where Nick should have been sleeping on the air mattress. Instead he was sitting up watching t.v.

"Sleep well?" he asked without turning

"not really, you?"

"same."

It was silent after that. I hate awkward silences so I went into the kitchen. I sat down with my book and opened up to the last thing I wrote and started to sing it. I turned to a new page and started writing again

"wow. Did you write that?" he was leaned against the door

"yep. If I knew how to play an instrument I'd probably finish it too."

" so you're not gunna finish it?"

"Nope it's rare that I write whole songs. But when I do, its in one sitting. And the inspiration has to be serious"

"oh, yea I understand, I lock myself in a room until I get songs right." He chuckled and started to walk in but stopped himself

"You can come in Nick, I'm not gunna bite you."

" This isn't right Sarah." He sat down next to me

"but it is what it is, I mean you have a girlfriend and I'm technically dating your brother. So it's fine. We're just supposed to be friends now anyway remember?"

"we're not even acting like that though."

"that's because I don't know how to be just your friend right now Nick. I like you, if you haven't noticed, and I'm trying to digest the information from last night."
