CHAPTER 8
Demi's POV
Today was Nicko and I's third to last day in New York, tomorrow we are going to see his parents. I know he's nervous, but doesn't want to talk about i. Right now, we're laying on the bed with all of the windows open and taking in the amazing view. Nicko has his arms around me, stroking my head which is laying on my chest. I could feel his slow steady heartbeat, his chest rising and falling, and I don't ever want this to end. I sighed, and his arms tightened around me, "What are you thinking about?" He murmured. "I just don't want to leave. I feel like we've escaped from my life in LA, escaped from all of my problems." Nicko nodded, "I don't want to leave either, I'd trade my entire career just to lay here like this with you, forever." I smiled and poked his side, "You'd get pretty hungry." As if to prove my point, Nicko's stomach gave off a loud rumbling sound. He just laughed, and it rumbled again. We both fell silent, not wanting to disturb the absolute peace we found here. "Are you ever going to sing for me?" I sighed, "I don't know what you're talking about." Nicko lifted my chin with his finger, staring me in the eyes, "You haven't sung since... that day. And I know you've been writing." I nodded, dilberated, then got up. Pulling him with me.
I led him to the piano in the middle of the penthouse. He sat next to me while I absentmindedly pressed some keys, finding the right octave to start in. Finally I settled, and began to play the opening melody. It was simple, but beautiful. And rang clear throughout the entire apartment. It came time for me to join in with the lyrics, and I sang for the first time since the incident with Wilmer.
I can't sleep tonight, wide awake and so confused
Everything's in line, but I am bruised.
I need a voice to echo, I need a light to take me home
I kind of need a hero, is it you?
I never see the forest or the trees,
I could really use your melody.
Baby I'm a little blind, I think it's time, for you to find me
Can you be my nightingale
Sing to me, I know you're there.
You could be my sanity. Come bring me peace, sing me to sleep.
Say you'll be my nightingale.
Somebody speak to me, cause I'm feeling like hell.
Need you to answer me, I'm overwhelmed.
I need a star to follow, I need a light to take me home
I don't know.
I never see the forest or the trees I could really use your melody
Baby I'm a little blind, i think it's time, for you to find me
Can you be my nightingale,
Sing to me, I know you're there.
You could be, my sanity.
Come bring me peace, send me to sleep.
Say you'll be my nightingale
I don't know what I'd do without you,
Your words are like a whisper cutting through
As long as you're with me here tonight, I'm good.
Can you be, my nightingale
Feel so close, I know you're there.
Oh nightingale, sing to me, I know you're there
Cause baby you're my sanity
You bring me peace, sing me to sleep.
Say you'll be my nightingale.
Oh, mmhm.
I slowly drifted out of the song and realized I was crying. Nicko sat next to me on the piano bench and pulled me into his shoulder, he rubbed my back while I sobbed. "Shhh it's okay baby, I'm here. I'm here." I nodded and pulled his mouth to mine. He kissed me passionately, and held me so tight, that it felt impossible for me to break again. As he pulled away he wiped away my tears and smiled at me. "I love you." I nodded and looked deep into his eyes, "I love you too Nicko."
