Living The Dream: Joe Jonas Daughter Story

Chapter One: Father Think He Knows Best

Chapter One: Father Think He Knows Best

Nia's POV
I have always grew up in the lime light because of my famous dad and uncle's. Yet I have always been mistreated put down in the dance world by my former dance teacher. I may not be a singer like my famous dad but I am a former dancer.

My dad allowed me to be in the lime light ever since I was born unlike my young sisters. Ever since he started seeing his now wife Sophie Turner she has been protecting me from the media along with my sisters. It's not that I don't mind not being in the spotlight anymore, I just wish I had the choice you know. She probably thought it was best since she never liked how my dance teacher treated me all these years. But I didn't mind because it made me a stronger dancers in the end.

I was practicing my turns in my dance studio while recording it to see what I'm doing wrong with my foot because I keep coming out of it. I was always a stronger dancer in jazz and acro but I wanted to try other things. My dad and Sophie put me in a dance school where I can still do dance but not in the lime light because they wanted me to have a childhood.

I sat down giving myself break, but I didn't see my dad who was standing at the doorway watching.

Joe: hey squirt, practicing your turns
Nia: yeah just giving myself a break *takes sip of water*
Joe: that's good to hear. We need to talk though
Nia: about what?
Joe: well *sits across from her* I got a call from your school
Nia: *gulps* uh oh *sips water* this water is really fresh
Joe: Nia... why didn't you tell me?
Nia: tell you what?
Joe: you no what young lady
Nia: that I might be flunking
Joe: yes...
Nia: I don't know...
Joe: that's not a good enough answer young lady and you know that
Nia: you said you would pull me out of dance if I didn't keep up my grades in school
Joe: and I stand on my words this time *stands up*
Nia: *gets up with him* but dad...
Joe: Nia... you promise me you would do better in school. We went over this, if you weren't doing well I was going to pull you out of dance
Nia: but-
Joe: no! Clearly dance has been draining you Nia, you need a break. You been dancing since you were 3 it isn't healthy for you.
Nia: but it's my dream. How would you feel if grandpa stopped you from living your dreams?
Joe: your grandfather would want me to do well in school first. School came before music. Sophie was right I should have pulled you out a long time ago
Nia: *scoff and cross arm* this was Sophie's idea of course. Just like it was her idea to pull me off a tv show I was doing well in
Joe: because you were a child and you needed a normal life, and we both agreed on it. I saw how that lady treated you Nia. I didn't like it and I had to pull you out
Nia: I was fine, I can handle it
Joe: no you couldn't, you let dance take over your whole life. No more Nia, you're finish
Nia: dad... you can't do this to me!
Joe: oh yeah well I just did *starts to leave*
Nia: *hugs his legs and stop him* daddy pleasee... I promise to keep my grades up, please don't take the one thing in the world that makes me happy
Joe: *sighs* I'm sorry baby girl, but it pains me that I have to take away something you love, but your health comes first and I don't want this to take over you. You have so many other talents why don't you use it
Nia: *sits on the ground and pouts* I hate you
Joe: Nia... *tries to hugs her*
Nia: go away!

Joe: *sighs* you will understand one day and you will thank me *kiss the top of her head and leaves*

Nia's POV
I hate my dad so much right now! He doesn't understand, he never will! Dancing has always been the one thing that I have been good at. So what if it kept me from having a life outside of dance, but I enjoyed it. I was going to teach my dad a lesson he was never going to forget.

I went to my room and stuff some clothes into my suite case.

Willa: *comes crawling in* sissy!
Nia: not now Willa! I can't play with you I'm too mad
Willa: why?
Nia: dad took dancing away from me
Willa: why?
Nia: because I didn't do well in school and now he's punishing me
Willa: why?
Nia: why the heck am I talking to a 2 year old who doesn't understand *puts bag on shoulder*
Willa: I'm 2 and 3 quarters!
Nia: *opens balcony window*
Willa: *baby talk* where are you going?
Nia: to Uncle Nick's house *puts one leg over the balcony* don't tell dad
Willa: b-but...
Nia: don't worry Willa I'll be okay *carefully drops down to the ground and runs*
Willa: MOMMY!
Sophie: *comes in* baby how did you get in your sister's room. You know you're not supposed to be in here without permission
Willa: sissy jumped out the window
Sophie: what?! *looks out Nia's balcony and sees her leaving the backyard* JOE! We got trouble
Joe: *runs in* what happened?!
Sophie: guess who escaped the house without us knowing
Joe: *looks around* where's Nia?
Willa/Sophie: out the window
Joe: what? Why didn't security notify me?
Sophie: according to Willa it just happened
Joe: Willa do you know where she went?
Willa: she told me not to tell you. But she didn't say I couldn't tell mommy
Sophie: Joe
