A Roller Coaster Ride We're On || (n.j.) || Book 1

13~We Need A Break

"I still get Jealous!!" I sang as loud as I could to my mop. Well actually, I was twirling my mop around. I am now obsessed with Nick's music. I've spent too much time with him.

It's about 12:30 in the afternoon and I haven't heard from my boyfriend all day. Which I thought was a little odd, but his life doesn't revolve around me.
Earlier today, I was going through Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and I saw soooo many pictures of Nick and I together. I've got to admit, they got some good ones.
For example, there was one of Nick giving me a piggy back ride, and another Nick chasing me. Then, of course, there was few of us kissing here and there. But, I expected that. I have just been wondering how the paparazzi knew that we were going to be at my parent's house and how they knew the address.

After cleaning, I decide to take a nice long shower. I grab some yogas and a sports bra and tank top to change into. I also grab my iPod doc and start playing Jonas Brothers and Nick Jonas music. I sing to my heart's content throughout my shower.

*****20 minutes later*****
I'm sitting, watching tv, when my phone gets an Instagram notification. I open up my phone, that's when I see it. Oh my god. This has got to be photoshopped or something.
What I see on my screen is Nick kissing some other girl who I've never seen before. He almost looks as though he hates it. I don't care. He cheated on me. I need to know where he is. I think he told me really early this morning that around 1:00 he'd be at the studio.

Perfect.

I need to let him know what he's done.
I get into my car as tears start streaming down my face. And they just keep coming. I can't even see the ignition to put in my key.
I start sobbing so much that I'm shaking. I try to calm myself down and wipe my eyes.
I need to do this.

After a 10 minute drive, I finally make it to the studio. He said he was doing a photoshoot.
I walk in and he sees me instantly.

"Charlotte!" He walks towards me. Without getting close, he can see I'm upset.

"Babe...what's wrong?" His voice softens.

"You know exactly what's wrong, Jonas!" I yell, jabbing my finger in his chest.

"I.."

"Oh save it! I know you cheated on me Nick! I saw the pictures!" I cannot stop myself from shaking and crying.

"Charl-" I don't let him finish. I just walk out.

*1 hour later*

I am sitting on the couch with Moose Tracks ice cream and sobbing my eyes out. God, Charlotte, pull yourself together. Should I text him? No. I'll wait for him to talk to me first.
It's now 7:00 and he hasn't texted me since I yelled at him. I don't know what to do. We always said we were the only ones for each other. Am I second guessing it?

Nick's POV
After Charlotte left the studio, I broke down in my dressing room.

"Stupid! Stupid!" I slam my fist down on the coffee table.

"God Nick!!!" I scream. I grab a pillow and scream into it as loud as I can.
Then there's a knock at the door. I'm hoping its Charlotte. They just welcome themselves in.

"Nick?" It's a female voice but I'm not sure who it belongs to. I look up. It's my ex, Carli.

"What....what....are you doing here?"

"I heard screaming and...."

"This is all your fault!! You forced yourself onto me! God, those were the pictures Charlotte was talking about. How could I have been so stupid!" I start to sob harder.

"Nick...." Carli's gaze softens. I just look at her. She seductively walks towards me. She leans in for a kiss. I kiss her back for a second, then realize what I'm doing. My the time I snap out of it, she's pushing me against the wall. She tastes like alcohol and roses.

"Carli!!" I yell, pushing her off me.

"What?! You know you liked it!" She licks her lips.

"Um actually, no I didn't! Just stay out of my freaking life!" I yell. Tears are now coming at full force.

"Fine. But if you want more, you know where to find me." She smirks seductively then walks out.
I hate this. I wish I would've never met her. I know that when I was dating her I never really loved her. I just had her there to fill an empty space in my life.
I really just want to fix this whole thing with Charlotte at the snap of my fingers. But unfortunately, that's not how it works.
I finally walk out my dressing room, ready to go home.

"Nick. Don't you want to finish the shoot?" My manger asks me.

"No. I just need some time right now." I respond, not making eye contact.
I walk out to my car and more tears come. I just lost the only girl I have ever truly, truly loved. I have absolutely no idea what to do with myself right now.
I got it. I'll text Charlotte.
Me:

Hey.
Her *5 minutes later*:

...
Me:

I'm sorry. So sorry.
Her:

I think we just need a break.

I couldn't control myself at that point. That was one of the last things I wanted to hear right now. But, I guess I can understand where she's coming from.

"You're an idiot! You're such an idiot!" I scream into my rear view mirror, slamming my head on my steering wheel.
I ended up sleeping in my car that night. I didn't have the strength in myself to drive home. Or rather, I didn't trust myself to drive.
Carli invaded my dreams that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charlotte's POV
I knew I had to forgive Nick. I mean, I didn't even give him a chance to explain. But I think we do need a break for a while. Even if that picture was photoshopped. Girls are sensitive, and we need our space.

I decide to shut down my phone and go to bed. Some sleep should do me good.
I honestly wonder what Nick is thinking right now. And who that girl was in the picture. I can't stop thinking about him.
I decide that I'll give it about 3 days. That should be enough time. Right? I need to shut my mind down and go to bed. It's already 1:45 in the morning.

I dream of Nick and that mystery girl that night.
