Welcome To New York #Wattys2016 (Book 1)

Chapter 20: "True Love"

"He did WHAT exactly?" my best friend screamed on the other line. Yes, it has been almost three months since we've spoken but you know shit and life happens. "Have you told your parents yet?" she asks still in shock of the news I just gave her.

"Not yet but it will be their decision if they want to show up," I say to her about the event that will be taking place. "I will do my job and send out the invitations to the family and make sure they get sent out. The rest will be up to them." I say. Yes, in these 3 months I haven't spoken to my best friend. I haven't spoken to my family either. She then asks "So was it planned? Did you have any idea on what he was doing?" she asks me.

"I was in complete awe in what he was doing. For the record no I didn't have any idea that he was going to do that." I say trying to hold my excitement as I blushed. This doesn't happen everyday people; especially not with Nick Jonas.

"Anyways, enough about Naby what's up with Janny?" I asked her excitedly; knowing that things have been busy with them also. It was just nice to be in the apartment and check up with her even though it was just over the phone.

The last time it was like this was when she had told me that I didn't fit into her group of anime buddies anymore. She told me that we weren't best friends. Eventually what ended up happening is the group didn't think I had too much in common with them. That kind of spiked something in our relationship; mostly because those girls wouldn't talk to me about it personally and sent Jasmine to do their dirty work for them like always. I knew from the very beginning I didn't fit in with them. Did I mind though? No, because it didn't matter to me. I wanted to spend time with her and if being around those girls was what she wanted then, of course, I was going to sacrifice because that's who I was at the time. But it's like every time our relationship hits a bump; it always goes back to being straight right after we talk out what it is that's bothering us. Hey, it's like I've always told her she's like my sister.

"Well," she says kind of hesitantly. I knew that when she did that it was bad news... "Uh-Oh, what's wrong, are you okay?" I ask kind of worriedly. I then hear her crying a little or at least that's what I think she was doing. "Jasmine?" I ask worriedly.

"I'm pregnant," she says in between sobs. This next part shakes me as she then tells me with what seems like a stifled laugh "And I don't know who the father is."

At first, I wanted to hang up and call Nick right away but he was golfing with the brothers so I didn't want to disturb him. Plus you know your best friend is lying when she giggles while telling you something like that.She just wanted to see if I would get rattled and believe it or not I almost did.

"You a damn liar," I say to her. "I'm happy for you guys though Danny's going to make one hell of a dad," I say showing my excitement. When it came down to stuff like this; I can't contain the excitement. And as long as I get to be the godmother of the child that's all that matters to me.

"Thanks, Abs," she says as I hear someone or two someones, make that 4 someones; 3 for me and 1 for her come into the door. "Hey, babe." Nick and Danny say as we then sign off after we tell each other we got to go and I face Nick and his brothers. "Hey Babe, how was golfing?" I ask as I kiss his lips.

"Hey, guys," I say seeing not only his brothers but Danielle, Ashley along with Mama and Papa Jonas as well. What the hell is going on here?

"Um, Nick sweetie?" I ask worriedly. "What's going on here?"

"Weren't you going to say something?" he asks looking towards me and then his family.

"Oh right, but right now?" I asked with an eyebrow raised "I've barely woken up." I say with an embarrassing look on my face. I am still in my PJ's and my hair is still in a curly mess.

"Come on Abs; please Dani and I want to know what has him this hyped," Ash says with glee in her voice.

"Yeah we haven't seen him this happy since Olivia," his dad says bringing up his glasses to his face. God, if I had a nickel for every time someone mentions a troll like that with my Nickybear. I'd be rich if only they knew.

"Dad, seriously," Nick says with a blush on his face. The question is I don't know if he's blushing because of embarrassment or because of hearing the name of his ex-girlfriend. Come on people we all know how south that went.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry Son," he says with a half smile. Dads, am I right?

"So, what is this about?" Frankie asks impatiently. It seems like just yesterday he played a 5-year-old in the English version of an animated movie back in 2009. The movie came out the day before Joe's birthday and now he's a senior in college. Looks like he was really serious about not joining the band.

"Okay, but if we're doing this..." I say pausing and breathing. "Let me grab Dani and Ashley, and Nick you can tell the rest of the family." I say hesitantly as Nick looks at me confused with an eyebrow raised."Um okay." he says and lets the girls come upstairs as I freak out a little bit on the inside.

"What's up?" Ashley says as she comes out of the elevator Nick secretly made for her to get up here in her wheelchair.

"Yeah, why do you look so frazzled?" Dani asks me.

"Where are your girls?" I ask her.

"With my Mom and Dad why what happened?" she asks me kind of worriedly.

"I haven't told anyone yet and not even my best friend back home knows so I am trusting you guys with this information," I say as they just nod and I go into my bathroom and dig through my trash to find what I need to give to them. I then come back and pass it to Dani. "Oh my God Aby," she says as she pulls me into a hug.

"When did you find out?" Ashley asks me with a sympathetic look.

"About a week ago," I say with tears in my eyes. This could possibly change everything in my life. I could possibly die from this happening if it isn't done correctly.

"Are you scared and that's why you're so upset about this?" Dani asks but I just shake my head and just say in between sobs "Nick wants to go on tour in the next few months."

"Well," Ashley says. "If he really cares about you he'll drop everything and help you through this difficult time in your life. I know how much he loves you so I know that without a doubt he will." Dani just nods in agreement.

'Now that we got that out of the way what's the good news Nick was or has been glowing about ever since he came home today?" Dani asks as I just wipe my tears and grab a small box and just open the lid. The girls just gasp as they are now looking at a huge, and I mean huger than the wall Donald Trump wanted to build during his election days huge rock in it.

"DAMN.," they both say in unison. "That's bigger than the one Kevin gave me when he proposed," Dani says with her eyes bugged out.

"Yeah well, at least you guys have gotten proposed to. Joe hasn't mentioned anything about getting married." Ashley says sadly.

"And I thought Nick was the one with the commitment issues," I say with an eye roll as they just look at me like if I'm crazy. Um, hi are you new? Have you not heard Nick's song Unhinged?

"Mr. Nicholas doesn't have anything to do with commitment if he's giving you that big of a diamond," Dani says as she snorts. I roll my eyes as I just admire the rock.

"You have to tell us how he did it," Ashley demands as they both move closer to where I was on the bed.

"Okay, okay, Sheesh," I say as I reminisce on the day before.

"Aby, where are you?" I hear Nick ask as he walks in and covers my eyes with a blindfold. Hey if he doesn't like it; why does he do it to other people?

"Hey, I was writing there," I say very agitatedly that he just interrupted my work.

"All you do is write, come on I want to take you somewhere," he tells me with a smile.

"Do I have to get ready?" I ask trying to get out of what he has planned.

"Unless you want to go into the water and get your clothes all wet then yes you have to change," he says picking on me and my wanting to be comfortable at the beach.

"Uhhhh fine," I say complaining. However, he just smiles and yells "You've got 20 minutes beautiful," making me hurry as I grab my all black converse shoes and put them on my bare feet. My swimsuit is all black as well, not showing anything. I'm not a bikini girl, like how my Mom is back home so I just wear this.

"Um, you do know we're not just going to the beach right?" he asks me quite confused.

"WHAT, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I say infuriated with him.

"Sorry slipped my mind but keep the suit under," he tells me as I go back and change into a comfortable but yet casual outfit. I then walk back downstairs and I see him smiling as he then takes my hand and tells me "That's more like it." I blush to that comment, probably from embarrassment that it wasn't towards his standards.

We then get out of the apartment where there is a limo waiting for us, probably blocking traffic I'd bet. "Really Nick, you didn't really have to get a limo," I say trying to not to show my annoyance that he just went all out for nothing.

"Oh, but I did," he says it with a smirk as we get in and he gives the driver a paper with directions to someplace. I just get comfortable and snuggle up against him as he looks down and asks "You comfy?" I nod and just fall asleep until we get there. It doesn't really matter what kind of vehicle I'm in if it moves I sleep.

My sleep is then ruined by Nick then moving and trying to wake me up as we arrive at this little shop in Broadway where they sell snow globes. Nick has told me about this place before but I've just never paid the slightest attention to it.
"Need a snow globe?" I ask jokingly considering its summer. "Very funny," he says grabbing my hand and pulling me into the shop. The shop itself is very cute if I do say so myself but I have a feeling that looking for itty bitty globes isn't what Nick brought me here to do.

He then leads me to the back of the store where he then sees the owner and asks "Is it ready?" The owner is then turning around and says "Yup it's ready boss," not even paying attention to me.His eyes direct to him and then to me as he then says "Enjoy Angel, he's a keeper" and he leaves the room.

My eyes are just wide as my potential online brother Alek just walks out and doesn't even notice me, well he kind of did consider he just called me by the nickname I went by for him and him only. I completely forgot he existed after maybe 2-3 years without speaking.

"Nick why was he just here and how did you know where to find him?" I then ask as he walks me over to the globe.

"It wasn't that hard when you have a publicist who does anything and everything you ask them to do," he says sheepishly. "Plus, I had a little help from Jasmine." He finally admits as I nod and just look back at where Bubba, yes that is a nickname I gave him just was.

Nick then distracts my thoughts and says "Here," as he hands me an earbud and he turns on the music that blares into the other one he just gave me and he just holds onto me. As "LoveBug" comes and Nick starts singing his part, I just rest my head on his chest peacefully just listening to my man singing. It's times like these when my past doesn't matter, what matters is right now I am with the man that I love and want to be with. It's definitely true love when you just forget about everything.

As soon as it gets the Rock and Roll part of the song where the boys are literally screaming the lyrics, the globe suddenly bursts with snow coming down. I was just literally in awe by what he had planned and I couldn't wait for what was up next.

A little while later we're headed to somewhere else but Nick hasn't told me where yet. I just hope there's not a lot of walking but then again this is New York so not a lot of walking isn't an option. And if it weren't for me and my slow walking when I got out of breath or something like that it would've been a lot quicker. Again since I didn't have my wheelchair either it was also very difficult, so what happens is Nick had to carry me and piggyback ride me when we got there with my crutches under his arm.

"We're here," he says putting me down gently. I look around and notice we're at Coney Island. But we are on the boardwalk, which is probably where he wanted to take me before going to the beach; which is fine I don't really mind it.

"Want to have some fun before we head to the beach to relax?" he asks me and I nod looking around still admiring the view of the scenery. He then smiles and chuckles. "Did I shock you to a parallel universe?" he asks as I nod and tell him "Yeah, kind of." He smiles, I think in victory as I grab my crutches from under his arm and use them as I continue walking around still admiring the park.

"You hungry?" he asks me as we come close to a hot dog cart as I can smell them from a mile away nodding.

"Two hot dogs please," he says then carrying mine as we walk to a nearby bench. I was already hot and uncomfortable mostly because I had my bathing suit under as we go to sit. He gives me the food smiling as he bites into his and asks "So, what do you want to do first?"

"I definitely don't want to do the cyclone," I say as I hear screaming on the other side of the park. He busts out laughing and agrees with me.

"Okay then we can go to the beach early and stay there the whole entire day until it's time to head home," he says with a chuckle. So we finished our dogs and walk to the beach, where I just sit on the sand by the shore and take off my shoes while just letting the water hit my feet. Nick applied the sunscreen on my back I did the rest and his body as well.

"Want to just stay there for a while? I'm going to jump in" he asks as he tells me and I nod watching him go in and just swim. I put my head back and just enjoy the peace and quiet and the smell of the ocean which is one of the many things I love about it, to be honest. I also love when the water is clear and shallow. I don't know how to swim though, so if I want to go in then Nick will probably have to take me in.

After a while, I am sleeping in one of the chairs that are provided for us at the beach and I feel Nick shake me awake. "Baby, you good?" he asks worriedly. I nod and smile and signal him to come closer feeling his wet chest on my breast and his wet hair dripping as he pecks my lips. "I love you," he says with a toothy smile.

"I love you too Nickybear," I say with a smile.

"Are you ready to head home?" he asks as he grabs my hand and then gets tackled and licked on by Elvis, his golden retriever he had gotten for his birthday. "Hey buddy," he says all cute like to the furry friend. I just smile and thank Denise and Paul for flying him out to us.

"Did you do this?" he asks me as I nod.

"But how and why?" he asks me.

"I saw how you looked when that little kid accidentally hit you with the rubber ball three months ago''. He smiles and just raises his eyebrow "You remember that?" he says with a weird expression on his face.

"You'd be surprised of what I remember if it's important to me," I say with a smile. It doesn't help that I'm a really big fan, and I don't like to see him sad even though he barely shows it.

"Mhm," he says looking back at the golden retriever as he wags his tail.

After it got dark, we walked back to the boardwalk with Elvis at Nick's heels carrying my crutches by mouth as Nick piggybacks me back to the boardwalk. I then hear fireworks and I look up at the colors that were sparking up the sky.

"Want to get down so that way I can watch them comfortably as well?" he asks as I nod and he puts me down. We then start walking to a bench as we sit and I just look up making my neck hurt after a while. As I start to rub my neck not even paying attention to the exploding noises as he whispers to me to look up as I had my head down. Our shoulders brush together as the exploding noises and bright colors spell out "Will you please marry me?" as I then awe to the fact that somebody just proposed to their girlfriend. But as I look down, I didn't realize Nick was in a half kneeled position as he magically pulled out a ring and just asks "Well, will you?"

Immediately I just hug him and whisper "Yes."

He looks up and smiles as he grabs my hand and asks "You want some boy-girl cotton candy before we go?"

"Sure," I say smiling at the fact that I just got engaged.

After the boy-girl cotton candies, he carried me to the limo where I fell asleep and I felt him kiss me. We then leave Coney Island. I know that we are now parked somewhere but it's not the apartment because then he would carry me upstairs to the bedroom.

A few minutes later, we then start driving back to the apartment where he then carries me to the bedroom upstairs. Then he is taking off my clothes and just leaving my tank top on, of course, he took the suit off. He then puts the stuff he brought in the mini fridge, as I hear it close and sleep peacefully after I hear him come into bed and kiss my temple

I smile as I then hear him say "You're my best friend," and he turns off his light falling fast asleep right next to me.
