Welcome To New York #Wattys2016 (Book 1)

Chapter #6 "Shake It Off"

Nick left not that long before the girls came back from hanging with their guys. Ashley says that Joe really misses his brother and his future sister-in-law. I didn't react to that though. I just sighed and started packing my bags. "Why are you packing?" she asks curiously wheeling next to me.

I sniff. I've been crying for the past hour and a half. It was like I couldn't redeem myself. Usually, when Nick and I fight like that it is because of me and my outbursts. I'm usually calm by the time he leaves but today I'm a fucking mess just because I slapped him.

"What's wrong?" she asks me. "Why are you packing?" I shake my head because I didn't want to talk about it. "Oh no, don't do that Abigail," she says to me. Hearing her call me that wanted me to knock the teeth right out of her mouth. No one calls me Abigail other than my parents. "Tell me what's wrong or I'm bringing in my secret weapon" she then says knowing that I hate when her and Joe butt in but hey what are you going to do?

I sigh but was having a hard time creating the words that were in my head to come out of my mouth. It was as if someone grabbed my neck and choked my neck to make it silent. I decided to tell it to her slowly... "I." "Slapped." "Nick." God, that was hard to say.

"What'd he do," she asked. She wasn't shocked at all. It was like she has seen Nick act like a dick before.

"He hid from the paps when we took Valentina to the zoo this afternoon" I explain. I know that Nick likes to be private and I knew his eyes were sensitive to light. I couldn't help to say that he's embarrassed having me as a girlfriend" I say with tears in my eyes.

"Abs, he's crazy about you. I can tell you that much. The reason he would only hide from the paps is to protect you" Ashley says with a smile. "He said that Olivia would kill him if she saw the pictures, so I don't know if his love for me is true," I say quite distressed.

Ashley sighs. "Look Abs, if I get him to prove it to you that he loves you will you stay?" she asks me.

I look at her and shake my head. "I don't want anything to do with that dick or his fucking pussy," I say with gritted teeth, making her nod and wheel back to her side of the room. I finish packing and then hear a knock on the door. I grab it and there's Nick standing in a tuxedo. His hair is slicked back like how it was in "How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying." I blush as he has a rose in his hand and I see Chris Harrison behind him. I remember roleplaying with my friends on FaceBook a little about the bachelor, but it was a Nick Jonas Edition. I got eliminated for having a baby in the role play and never looked back... though I could've. Oh well, what are you going to do? Mom Dad please don't fret it was just in a role play. Anyhow, Nate bends on one knee and the rose in his hand is purple as he asks "Abigail Carter, will you accept this rose?" "Yes," I say with tears in my eyes. Damn, I've cried a lot today. "SHE SAID YES" Nick yells to a corner as Kevin, Dani, Joe, Frankie, Alena, and Valentina come out. I laugh and ask "Nick, you psycho, why would you bring them?" "Because I knew that you would say yes," he says laughing.

I smile as I kiss his lips. "Thank you," I say with a smile. He blushes sheepishly and nods. That's the shyness that he's had ever since he was young. Ashley then wheels out and says "We did good baby" as she wheels towards Joe "I would think so," Joe says with a smile kissing her forehead. I roll my eyes. Man those two really love to meddle into our business. I pray to God that I don't have to see them that much when I move in with Nick hopefully.

"I have one more request to ask of you Abigail," Nick says as he pulls me in close. It's funny how I always feel safe in his arms especially after a fight with him. It's weird.

"Will you go dancing with me?" I hear a few snickers come out of the boys as I roll my eyes then say "In case you haven't noticed your brother has come a long way with his dancing." I say as Joe shows off and says "Yeah, that's because of me and my mad dancing techniques" as he spins and then falls on the floor. Ashley looks towards him with a face of sorrow and Kevin is just rolling his eyes.

"I'm sorry you had to see that girls," Frankie says to Alena and Valentina covering their little eyes as they giggle.

I turn my attention back to Nick and say "I would love to go dancing with you Nickybear." Again I hear snickers from the 3 other brothers as my Nicky gets embarrassed. "Great love now I'm never going to hear the end of it." He says with a sigh.

"Sorry," I say as I sigh. Boy, why can't they just all leave Nick and I alone?

The day Nick was going to take me clubbing I had a hard time looking for something to wear. Nothing I owned technically looked black, slutty or fit my size. What club clothes I had looked slutty, but still fit my size as well. I had to look in the place I never thought I would look in my friends Chanel's closet. Chanel was a shorty like me but she was taller than me. She's 4'11 and I'm 4'4'.I know we're a bunch of short people. Luckily for me, she did have clothes in my size that looked slutty but still civilized for my taste. We were still close even though it was her contest I got kicked out of. Though I found a loophole but never shared it with her because senior year ruled over my life. I started being on Facebook less and less. It was fun while it lasted though. She was very jealous of Nick and I but she never told me anything, I knew it all.

"So, are you guys going clubbing?" she asks me while trying to find something for me to wear. I nod even though clubbing isn't really my thing. I accepted the invite just to spend some time with my boyfriend. What could possibly go wrong? That I get banned from the club because of my condition? That's discrimination. If I do say so myself.

Chanel takes out this gorgeous black dress filled with ruffles at the ends. Dare I say there is sexiness at the top and it's not too slutty but just right. She then gets some old-styled flats she used to own from the time she was 19. Which was not that long ago her being 23 and all. Some light makeup does the trick on my cheekbones and lips as there's a knock on her door. She answers and there stands Nick looking as flawless as ever with not a scratch on him. He smelled amazing like wolverines if I might add. Sorry I've been playing too much "Path To Fame" by Demi. I love that game from younger times.

"Hey, gorgeous," he says with a luscious smile.

"God damn babe, you cleaned up well for a club," I say with my jaw opened wide.

"Thanks," he says as he grabs my hand and leads me out to the car. Of course, he would have a limo but I didn't want the attention to be on just us this evening. I actually like my privacy and so does Nick so he didn't get a limo for us. He just got into a little old fashioned truck which I believe was his grandfather's, but it could have been anyone.

"Nice ride," I say kinda in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, you don't have to be so nonchalant about it." He says a little hurt.

I get in the passenger seat as he jumps in the driver seat and starts the drive; me, of course, falling asleep the whole way there.

I feel his breath on mine as he shakes my shoulder and says "Abs, we're here." I rub my eyes and yawn. Thank god I just have blush and lipstick on because that would've been a disaster. "Morning beautiful" he then says making me blush brighter than the red lipstick I have on.

I start heading in with Nick until I hear a familiar voice call my nickname. No, the voice didn't say Aby. It was another nickname. It was the one AJ used to call me when we were dating. I called him Tiger and he called me... "Kitty?" he asked surprised. I think just because he couldn't really tell it was me.

"Yeah, it's me AJ," I say my throat dry.

"How've you've been?" he asked with a sniff. Me knowing him well I know that he's sick. Just when I was about to say something, a really stank "woman" ran up to me and accused me of "stealing her man" whatever that means.

"No Charlie." he says with a cough "it's not like that, we have a history together and by that, I mean dating history." He says as he clears his throat.

I cleared my throat and introduced my new tiger to my old one and said "AJ, this is Nick. Nick this is AJ, and no not the one who hurt me the other day." I cleared up because I know how tough these Jonas boys can get with other boys hurting their ladies, overprotective to the max.

Nick stuck out his hand to shake as AJ did the same. Nick then says "Nice to meet you AJ, forgive me but shouldn't you be home. You don't look too well." It was cute how he cared about my exe's wellbeing.

AJ sniffs then said; "Yeah, but the lady kinda dragged me over here. So to please her I kinda just sucked it up." Nick shook his head in disapproval and just sighed and said "Well, alright then, have a nice night you two" as he took me with him.

"Bye Abs," AJ says trying to smile.

"Later gator," I say going inside.

I tried to get AJ out of my mind but it was like I was stuck in the past as I saw him with Charlie. Charlie was trying to get him to drink and such I got a teeny annoyed seeing her force him with shit. That I couldn't put up with, it was disgusting. AJ didn't seem to mind at all though, as he pulled her into his arms and said what I think was I love you. I couldn't make out the words though.

Nick wasn't dancing as much as he was drinking but after his 3rd beer, he stopped and asked me "What's gotten you so stressed Kitty?" He smirked with the use of my former nickname. I figured instead of getting mad why not just let him claim me as his Kitty. Charlie's now AJ's, why can't I be Nick's?

I smiled and just said, "Wait here." I went up to the DJ who played some really sick music even some that were from the time when I was a teenager. He noticed me and asked me "What can I do for you, little lady?" I got a little annoyed because since I'm 19 I'm not little. I am a young adult for this matter. I just shrugged off and asked him if he can play a karaoke version of Taylor Swift's "Shake it off." He nods, plays the track hands me a mic and the song starts.

When it gets to the part where she goes "My ex-man brought his new girlfriend she's like "Oh my god" I bring myself to AJ and Charlie. Then walk back to Nick when it goes "Well I'm just going to shake it to the fella over there with the hella good hair" and rub my hands through his hair. The song continues to say "Won't you come on over baby let me shake-shake." It was at that point where I'm giving Nick the lap dance of the century. His member growing hard as fuck under mine as I lick my lips and get off of him and continue singing. Nick obviously looking embarrassed ran out the room after my little performance and just stayed in the car. What the hell was his problem?

I get into the car as he asked me "Are you done with your little theatre performance?" I nod shamefully and just fall asleep on the way back to his place.

When we walk in he doesn't hold the door for me or anything, he just slams it in my face and I just let myself in.

"I don't know why you're so angry with me," I said in disbelief that I was having this conversation with him.

"Oh I'm not angry I'm furious, how could you do that right in front of all those people TONIGHT???!!! He asked me very loudly. "I was claiming you as mine, was that such a big deal?" I had to ask because it didn't seem like it to me.

"Yes, it was a big deal because now EVERYONE IN NEW YORK KNOW ABOUT US." He says again yelling at me.

I just stand there in disbelief not knowing what to say. As he continues and says the most hurtful thing anyone has ever said to me, and the last time I heard it it was when I was with AJ."Let me put it to you this way, you were never my girlfriend you were just a replacement for Liv." He says with a monotone voice now. As soon as I heard that, I ran out of the room.
