23~You Cheater!

Charlotte's POV
I am happily home and doing well after my car accident. It's been about 2 weeks since then and my recovery as been great.

"Need anything before I go to my interview?" Nick asks me. I have been on bed rest though. But today I'm actually going to do stuff.

"No thanks babe. I'm gonna get out of the house today anyway." I smile.

"Alright. Bye I love you." He kisses me on the head and walks out.

"Love you too." I whisper.
I lay in bed, contemplating wether to get out of it stay in bed.

"Annd, time to get up." I say to myself, getting myself out of bed. Now I've just got to shower, do some shopping maybe, and be to my doctor's appointment at noon.

I manage to shower, dress, and do my make up without hurting too bad. I can't bend some ways, like all the way down to my toes. Because of the accident.

"Time to go to my appointment." I look at my clock. Seeing as though I only have 20 minutes to get there, I grab my things and race out the door.

"Appointment for Charlotte Davis." I say to the receptionist.

"Okay, Ms. Davis, you can have a seat and the doctor will be with you shortly." She tells me.

"Thank you." I go sit down. The tv volume is actually up a little today, so I decide to watch. I swallow hard as I see Ellen interviewing Carli. My current boyfriend's ex. I said I wouldn't let her get on my nerves, but what she was saying really got to me.

C:I'm just meeting up with Nick in about an hour so that should be fun.

E: Well well you are a very lucky lady

C: I know I know he's just so amazing
The audience 'oohed' and 'ahhed'.

"Grow up." I say a little louder then anticipated. Everyone in the waiting room stated at me. Even little kids. I just smile and look away.

About an hour after my appointment, I'm doing some grocery shopping. Again. Seen as how all of my groceries were destroyed when I got in my car accident.
As I'm waiting in the check out, I decide to scroll through Instagram a little. And I see it. Nick and Carli at the beach, looking happy as ever. I let my anger take over me this time.
I leave my cart in line, and march straight out to my car. I start the car and speed down to the studio that Nick is at.

When I get there, I can tell he's in the middle of an interview so I just wait backstage. On the tv I can see that he gets up and walks off. 5 minutes later, my boyfriend comes in the room acting surprised that I'm here.

"Charlotte." He smiles.

"Mhm." I clear my throat.

"Anything wrong? Are you hurting?" Nick asks me, concerned. That's when the tears start coming. I'm crying so much that I can't even speak. But I eventually get it out.

"You....little....cheater." I say, not wanting to yell and alarm everyone.

"What are you talking about?" He says.

"Look." I show him my phone screen.

"Charlotte. I never did that."

"Really? That doesn't look fake to me!" I raise my voice.

"Okay, let's just calm down. It's going to be okay. Charlotte, I love you so much and would never do anything like this to hurt you." Nick gathers me in his arms.

"Why does she keep doing this?" I cry into his shirt.

"I...I'm not sure baby. I really don't have an answer for that." He says.

"You sure I'm your only one?" I look up at him, my eyes are red and I left some tears on his shirt.

"Positive." He smiles.

"I love you so much Nick." I say.

"I love you so, so much." Nick kisses my cheek.

"Oh, Happy Birthday Eve." He whispers in my ear.

"Thanks." I giggle as he plants a kiss on my neck.

"Sadly, I've got to go to the studio and meet my brothers for a little while. I should be home in a couple of hours." He unwraps his arms from me.

"Okay, I'm going to go and get home. I still need to get new groceries." I say.

"Yeah, I figured. See you later Princess." Nick says, twirling me around.

"See you later." I give out a little laugh and kiss his nose.
Nick walks out of the room, leaving me with my thoughts.

"I will not let Carli get between us. I cannot afford to lose Nick." I say, balling up my fists and going to drive home.

I get home, kick off my shoes, change into a sports bra and yoga shorts, then climb under the covers of mine and Nick's bed. Wow, that sounds weird. I decided to pick up a People magazine on the way home. To my dismay, Nick and I are on the cover. The picture was taken when we were backstage. Nick is holding me and I'm crying. The headline reads:

Is Nick Jonas a cheater? For more, go to page 3.

Stupid paparazzi. I hate it so much. How'd they even get pictures of us back there in the first place? And they always twist things around and blow things way out of proportion.
Before I knew it, I was falling asleep, magazine in hand.

Nick's POV
"I'm gonna heads out guys." I tell my brothers as I get my jacket on.

"Alright. Thanks for coming in. Love you man." Joe comes and hugs me.

"Love you too. Hey, you guys know what's going on for Charlotte's birthday tomorrow?" I say to Kevin and Joe. They both nod.

"Okay, great. We're just gonna spend some time together tonight and prob-"

"We don't need to know anymore!" Joe cuts me off. God, he's got such a dirty mind. I just smile and shake my head.

"Honey, I'm home!" I say, walking in the door. I set down my things and look around. Hm, Charlotte must be in the bedroom. I pass through the living room and see boxes of my girlfriend's belongings that still need to be unpacked.

I go into the bedroom and Charlotte is sleeping so softly. She doesn't have any covers on and she's not wearing much. Her chest is rising up and down, slowly and her mouth is open. She's got the quietest, cutest snore I have ever heard.
I go lay next to her and wrap her in my arms. She turns over and snores right in my face. I chuckle a little and close my eyes for a little bit. I am so tired. It's only 3:30 in the afternoon but it feels like midnight.

"Mm." I say, what feels like a few hours later, as someone rubs my back. I don't even open my eyes and I know who it is. It's my gorgeous girlfriend.

"Morning handsome." I can hear her smiling.

"Mhmmm." I yawn, stretching.

"How'd you sleep?"

"What day is it?" I ask.

"December 10th." She replies.

"Oh! It's your birthday!" I sit up fast and kiss her.

"Oh." She smiles against my lips. We make out for about 5 minutes and after, I jump up and make Charlotte breakfast.

"Love you, Princess." I say.

"Love you, Prince Charming." Charlotte smiles.
