Witness (Nick & Demi) (Nemi)

VIII

Demi

I knew it would be the last I saw of him.. God likes to play tricks on me and on my mind.. he always wanted to see me suffer and struggle through life, never making it easy on me.. playing tricks on me..

I had just went out my building to go shop for food and other stuff.. I was now arriving at my apartment complex full of bags

I pressed the floor button on the elevator and then went inside.. I was tired.. I just had a long day and didn't even get the opportunity to see Alex..

I walked out of the elevator and went to my apartment to put my stuff down.. Batman started barking immediately

- Hey there boy!! Did you miss mommy? - I asked to the adorable puppy who was jumping around everywhere

I put some things on the fridge and then heard something shattering

The sound was muffled so it wasn't in my apartment.. it was weird

I kept quiet and then heard the words "Oh my god" and "Gun" from the other side of my wall in a pure panicking yelp..

It was Bea..

I rushed out the door and looked into hers.. it was closed.. I closed my own door with my keys leaving Batman barking and then looked at the door..

- I can break this shit in.. - I mumbled

I kicked the front door with strength and the door stood closed.. I then kicked it again busting it open to see a shattered vase with yellow flowers on the ground

I heard a reload and then looked up seeing Bea from far away and then his face

He was now pointing the gun at me making me afraid of what he might do.. I didn't know him and I didn't know why he was here or his intentions.. I just knew that my heart did a backflip right then and there..

- Nick?

- Demi?

- You know him? - Bea asked

- You know her? - Nick asked her

- What the fuck do you want from her? She did nothing to you! - I hissed

He looked back at me and licked his lips before putting the gun down a little - This has nothing to do with you.. just run the fuck away like you did last time

My mouth opened in a shocked expression and I stomped my foot - Excuse me? I didn't fucking run away! I got out before things got even more fucking messy!

- No, you ran away because I said three stupid words that just escaped me without me actually thinking and feeling them - he shouted at me putting the gun on his back

- Excuse me?! You don't just say that! You don't just let it "slip".. Why do you care anyways if you didn't care about me?!

- Because I actually wanted to pursue something else! - He shouted at me making every word ring in my ears

- Well, That's why I fucking left! Because there was nothing to pursue! There couldn't be an us!! - I shouted louder

- Why? Why the fuck couldn't?! - He asked yelling as I interrupted without actually thinking about what I was saying

- Because I was feeling too much for you!

I instantly covered my mouth with wide eyes and stared at him.. he was processing what I said, trying to understand what just came out of my mouth

He turned around towards Bea and bit his lip - I don't want it to happen either but if you love him.. let him go.. For both of your safety - he said glancing at me for a split second

Nick walked past me and I grabbed his arm - Nick..

He shook his head and clicked on the elevator button making the doors open.. I just stood there not completely sure of what had just happened as he disappeared behind the doors.. he wasn't even looking at me..

I suddenly felt something I knew too well.. a pain that has become my best friend throughout my life.. the one I avoid with every cell of my body but somehow, always ends up reappearing.. Heartbreak..

- Demi?.. - Bea finally broke the silence making me look at her

I didn't even notice I was crying until she said it.. My eyes were bawling and I couldn't stop them.. Why am I crying? I don't even know him that well.. why does this hurt? We were not even close to each other..

Bea hugged me as I sobbed uncontrollably and tried to calm me down as well as she could.. She closed the door and I sat on her couch just thinking about everything, watching her clean her vase

- Why was he here? - I asked in a shaky breath

Bea sat down on the couch in front of me and just then I noticed that she was as pale as a ghost.. she looked scared

- He told me I should break up with Frankie before everything gets too complicated.. - she mumbled - he told me I had no choice

I nodded - What's Frankie's last name? - I asked afraid of the answer

Bea frowned - Jonas... why?

I shook my head and covered my face with my hands suddenly feeling the pain hit me all over again.. of course he fucking is a Jonas! Why wouldn't he be? Of course that in 7 billion people she could pick, she had to pick a Jonas.. just like I did..

I ran my hand through my hair and sighed - Fuck..

- What's happening?

- He's a Jonas! He's the son of the head of the Mafia, Paul Kevin Jonas.. the Jonas.. they don't play nice.. You're going to be chased if you don't do what they want you to

- Why the fuck can't I date him?!

I shook my head - I don't know.. Nicholas is being an asshole

- He's his father?

- No! He's probably his brother.. - I answered walking in circles

- Well.. can you fix this? Could you talk to him? Please?.. - Bea pleaded in a shaky breath behind me

- I can't Bea, this is not up to me..

I started walking up towards the door and heard her stand up - Is that why you aren't with him? - she asked - Is that what happened?

I stopped in my tracks and clenched my fist looking at her from my shoulder.. my eyes were still filled with tears and my heart was aching in my chest..

- It's what it would've happened.. - I said leaving towards my floor
