Nick decided to go to his car to get his laptop and work at a coffee shop around the corner as he waited for Selena. It was almost a day, he can say, considering how late he woke up. It was already 8:30, Nick ate his dinner alone and packed away his laptop.

The sky just darkened when he was almost to Club 60 to meet his brothers and his sister-in-law. They had a booth reserved for them and their friends, Nick walked into the club. Immediately rushed by the steaming room and pumping loud music. Random strangers that didn't understand the word 'cover-up' were bouncing against each other to the latest hit music. 

Nick attempts to walk throught he crowded dark room to their usual booth. He found them under the colour turning lights. They sat in a round booth and the table was filled with drinks, while his friends and brothers were laughing and conversing with one another. 

"Nick!" He smiled at his friend Zac, who was not yet drunk, surprising Nick a little.

Zac had perfect features that made girls scream. He had strawberry blonde hair hypnotizing blue eyes. And his body was built in every way that was, ABS, not to mention tall.

But sadly he was already taken by his beautiful fiance, Ashley. 

"Hey man," Nick said laughing as he did a handshake with Zac, Zac tugged him down next to him and handed over to him a shot.

"Take this and you'll long live," he screamed through the loud music, yup, Zac was drunk now.

Nick chuckles and puts it back down, "I think I have to stay sober, I'm driving later."

"Where's Selena?" Danielle asked him, she clutched onto Kevin's arm as they were snuggling between their friends diagonal from the opening of the circular booth.

"She's still at the club," Nick voiced over.

"She should come," Joe said as he got up before getting to the dance floor.

His brothers decided to stick with Club 60 since they've already said to meet their friends there. Instead they invited Selena, if she wanted to dance.

"You... me... dance," Zac said, partially drunk as he slurred his words.

Nick just laughed, he loved drunk Zac because he's more goofy, "Alright dude, dance with Ash."

Nick moved out and let the couple walk off to the dance floor. He chuckles watching Zac relying on Ashley for a little balance. He turned back to his other friends, Cam, Ashton and Joy. Kevin and Danielle were conversing with them while Nick found himself bored soon after, as conversations ended and they faded into the dancefloor.

He looked at his watch under a light that gave him enough to see the time. It was 11:30 he figures all Selena's number should be done by now. He escaped the club and walked out the club, down the street till he reached her club.

There wasn't a long line up that night. But when he was about to enter he saw Selena in the back of the club. She held the wall for balance as she puked out some goo. Nick walked over, concerning on her situation, she was still in her costume.

"Selena," Nick called walking over, she looked up. Pale and sick out of mind.

"W-what are you doing here?" She asked, and turned away when she felt it coming again.

"Gosh Sel..." Nick held her hair and looked away from the vomit, "Are you done your show? What happened?"

She waved her hand assuring nothing, "This guy asked me to have some drinks with him, then I just had a little too much."

Nick huffed, a little angry with the person that made his friend go through the pain, "Let's go home."

She nodded and they went back inside the backdoor to the club. They got her changed and he took her home fast. So that she wouldn't have to vomit in the car.

--

Getting home, Selena quicked to the bathroom and let out the toxins. While Nick went to fetch some pills and water for her. Selena came back out and fell to the couch.

Nick rushed back out with the pills for her stomach and a glass of water. She took it thankfully and fell back down on the headrest of the couch.

"Thanks," Selena said breathlessly.

"Come, let's get you to your bed," Nick helped her balance and walked her to her room. He flicked on the lights, and helped her in.

Selena thanked him again, with a faint smile, "Thanks, goodnight."

He just nodded with a smile, "Night Gomez."

He walked out with the picture when hearing his phone ring. The screen was flashing Joe's number.

"Dude where'd you go?" he picked up hearing his brother scream through the loud music from the other line.

"Selena felt sick so I took her home, I saw her outside at the club," He explains to him, but Joe could barely hear him.

"Okay," Joe shouted over and the line went dead. Nick chuckles and turns off the lights in the living room and went to freshen up for bed.

Early next morning, Nick's alarm went off as usual and he left to work. He left a note on the fridge for Selena, figuring she wouldn't be up so early since she didn't have to go in for a show and she was pretty sick last night.

When he got to his office, he was once again piled with the work. He took a deep breath and saw a note left on top of the files. He had meetings books straight to 5 o'clock.

Meanwhile at home, Selena woke up around lunch and suited herself to the breakfast Nick left on the table, that's became her lunch. He left a note telling her to eat the meal and to go out for something soup like, since he didn't know how to make soup.

On the side of the counter top she found a file. She didn't have to look through it to know it was Nick's. 

"Well, well..." Selena said, she went into her room and put on some clothes then crossed over to Nick's room. She looked in his desk drawers to find his business cards to see if they'll be any use for her to track him.

After searching through all drawers, she found a box of his business card on his table. She sighed and picked up one of the cards. Going back to her room, she flipped on the switch on her mac book and searched up the address. Finally dressed and ready to go, she picked up the file and subwayed to Nick's office.

The building was huge, and it was a private office too. She had to go to the lobby to ask the lady there for Nick.

"Hi I'm looking for Nicholas Jonas," Selena smiled, but the girl dressed in her blazer and pencil skirt just looked at Selena, as if waiting for more to come.

"From which company?" She asked her, the girl eyed her attire, knowing she wasn't coming from a company. 

"Oh uhm, he left this file at home, do you mind bringing it up to him?" Selena asked, her back as she took out the file.

The girl ignored her and picked up the phone, dialing to Nick's assistant. Then she turned back to Selena, "He's in a meeting right now, but you can wait by his office."

"Thanks," Selena said plastering a fake smile at the girl. The secritary at lobby, Selena found her awfully rude of her tone and attitude. It was one of those arrogant people, she hated how she eyed her. It was full of suspicioun and arrogant eye.

She got to Nick's floor, she walked through the office finding Nick's name pinned on a wooden door. She walked over to the girl that was busy typing into the computer, her desk placed in front of Nick's as if guarding it.

"Hi, is Nick in his office?" Selena smiled at her, hoping she wasn't another arrogant one.

The girl stopped typing, almost lost hearing her recite his first name, "Oh Mr. Jonas in a meeting right now, but you can sit here and wait."

Selena just smiled and huffed as she sat down on a leather chair on the side of his door. She watched his colleagues walk around and pick up phone calls, everyone was busy and very focused on their work. 

She sighed and was bored after 20 minutes of just sitting there and waiting. She took out her mac book and started researching.
