Before Three Years A Nick Jonas Story

Chapter 4

Shay's POV

I looked up at Kevin and shook my head. It didn't feel right for me to come out to the world now. It's too early and the last thing we need is Nick being plastered on every magazine cover with the headlines involving me. Nick doesn't deserve that, not now, not ever.

Kevin- She's one of Nick's best friends. We've known her for years and she's always been the closest to Nick. So it's very easy to confuse rather they're being friendly or flirty. -laughs-

Joe- Or friendly-flirty.

Kevin- The point being, they weren't dating. They're just being themselves.

Back at the hospital, Nick's breathing tube has finally been removed. Which is a good sign since he's now breathing on his own. But he still hasn't opened those beautiful brown eyes of his, and that's what kills me the most.

"Hey, mind if we join you two?" Kevin asked standing in the doorway with Joe right beside him holding a bag of In-N-Out.

"Since you guys brought food, sure," I smiled and both men entered. They both pulled up a seat at Nick's bed and I moved the small table top attached to his bed over him.

"Is it kind of wrong that we're eating over him?" Joe asked from the other side of the bed.

"I think he can smell it," I smiled noticing Nick's hand slightly twitching. The doctor said that it's just a muscle reflex and doesn't really mean anything, but I think this time Nick definitely knew.

I grabbed his hand and his fingers started to curl around mine. A tear escaped my left eye and fell upon the skin of his hand. His grip slightly tightened and I felt this sense of hope fill my heart. A reflex or not, I know he knows what's going on around him. He felt that tear and reacted with a touch. A touch of light that everything will be okay.

Early the next morning Joe and Kevin were scheduled for a interview with Robin on Good Morning America, to talk about Nick. When we arrived on set, everyone seemed to be in a daze state. It wasn't as loud as it usually is. Usually people are screaming to make everything was in place. But today was different, and I knew why.

Robin- Good morning America, I'm Robin Roberts and with me today are Joe and Kevin Jonas from the beloved group, The Jonas Brothers. Youngest brother Nick Jonas who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 13 was rushed to the ER just a few days ago. Unfortunately, he is in what is called a Diabetic Coma. Joe and Kevin are here to talk about what happened that day and how they're dealing with the potential loss of their brother. First off I will like to say is that, I am so sorry. Nick is a wonderful man, a complete gentleman and will be very missed for the time being. So Kevin, walk me through that day. What exactly happened to Nick?

Kevin- First I would like to say thank you for saying those kind words about Nick. It's truly a great loss and Joe and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us be here this morning. So that day me, Joe, Nick and a friend of ours decided to go to a haunted house. We were just going to walk inside, check it out and head back home. But we ended up getting locked in. Nick had forgotten to bring his diabetes case with him.

Robin- Does he forget his case a lot?

Joe- Never, he has always made sure that he has it and that we have a backup just in case something does go wrong. 

Robin- What about that friend Kevin mentioned earlier? How long have you known them?

Joe- We're known her since she was 6 and Nick was 8. She's one of his closet friends.

Robin- Do you guys know if Nick will ever wake up?

Kevin- We don't know, we wish we did. In fact we wish he wasn't in this coma at all. It's been really tough on our family.

Robin- How so Joe?

Joe- Too be honest, it's so different without him. They're times when I'm at home and go to give him a call and realize that, no ones going to answer. The hardest part for me is, walking into that hospital room. Seeing him completely helpless and not being able to do something to..to help or make him wake up. -starts to cry- I'm sorry.

Robin- Oh no you're okay hun. -hands him a tissue-

Joe- To see someone so strong be so weak is one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with. So many fans look up to him, and to see that one light who's giving you strength dies out..What is their to do?

Robin- Kevin to end this off, do you have any hope that Nick will recover from this?

Kevin- Of course, but their is a side of me that has given up hope. Because their is a chance he won't make it. So to me in a sense, he's already dead.
