{May 21st, 2016 North Carolina Jonas Household Nick-23|Mel-21}
Things were getting better, day by day. The police were able to find the guys that had tortured Melissa, and threw them straight in jail. She was still trying to get back on her feet. Of course, she was staying with Nick, because he was the only one that knew how to help her get through this.
Even though the couple were still not back together officially yet, Nick was so over-protective of her. If anyone tried anything towards the girl, or caused her to get scared... he flipped. He never wanted her to leave his side. So that's what she did, she stayed with him, the two of them working together slowly on their broken relationship.
"So, the restaurant is coming along well?" Nick asked his father as they all sat in the kitchen, waiting for the rest of the family to show up.
"Yeah, we are said to open in just a few weeks. We're working out the last few minor details, then we need to get the health department to do one last walk through. Then finally we will be able to open." Kevin Sr. said softly, a smile on his face.
"Anything that we can help with while we're here?" Nick asked, smiling over at the girl next to him. Melissa gave him an encouraging smile right back.
Kevin Sr. shook his head, "I think we got it all figured out, but thank you." he said, and that was when the door bursted open and Melissa jumped in her seat beside Nick.
The middle Jonas noticed Melissa's change in demeanor immediately, and rested his hand on her thigh, reassuringly. "Shh, it's okay angel. It's just Joe."
Denise also realized what the loud sound did to the recovering girl, and went to scold her son, "Joseph...!" she began, her head spinning still slightly from what not only the family had been through in the past month, but Melissa as well.
Melissa stared into space, completely out of it. Every time this sort of thing happened, she would get like this.
After a few minutes, Melissa came back into reality and her frightened brown eyes drifted to Nick. "S-S-Sorry..." she whispered, reaching for his hand and took in a shaky, deep breath.
"Hey, hey, baby it's okay." he soothed her, holding onto her hand lightly, trying to calm her down as much as he could, "no need to be sorry, Angel." he promised.
Joe and Denise emerged from the front foyer, and Joe looked at the shaken girl sadly, "I'm sorry I scared you Popstar." he begged for her forgiveness, "I totally forgot that it might've scared you." he sighed, coming up and placed a sympathetic hand on her shoulder.
"I-It... I-It's okay, d-don't worry 'bout me." she smiled weakly up at him. "Gotta g-get used to the loud noises c-cause of the tour coming up." she explained, shrugging slightly.
