Angel (Nick Jonas)

Chapter 20-Onto Me

"Nick, put me down" I squealed as he laughed, waiting for the photographer to look through the pictures.
"But I'm just carrying my princess" he whispered so nobody else could hear.
I blushed slightly as he set me on my feet. The sand beneath my feet was warm and made me feel content. Vogue asked us to do a photoshoot on the beach, which we found difficult until now with touring schedules.
"That's it you two. It was a pleasure meeting you both" the woman said with a wide smile.
We both shook her hands, leaving the crew behind to clean up.

"I can't believe they let us keep these outfits" I said, looking out to the ocean.
"Yeah it's nice of them" Nick said, pulling me against his side.
"Is it just a natural instinct to touch me while we walk?" I asked, an underlying tease to my tone.
"Why, do you not like it?" He fake pouted, removing his arm from my waist.
"No, no...I love it. Makes me feel protected" I said, turning to stop and look at him.
Nick wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. His head dipped down, his lips connecting to mine.
"Don't ever leave me" i mumbled, pulling apart to rest the side of my nose against his, my eyes shut peacefully.
"Why ever would I ever do that?" He asked, "I promise I won't"

Time Skip (a couple of days)
"Nick, he came onto me" I said calmly.
"You seriously expect me to believe that?" He yelled, running his hand through his hair.
A few hours prior, this guy I used to have hookups with after my previous relationship was at the Jonas Brothers show. We started casually talking and he got...suggestive. I told him to back off and he didn't and just decided to kiss me but the paparazzi only makes the public see what'll give them money. It doesn't matter that it affects relationships.
"I do! Jesus...Nick I love you. I know what it's like to be cheated on. Why the hell would I put you through that!" I said, my voice getting louder.

I was trying to keep calm because Nick was angry. I could see that.
"Maybe Racheal wasn't the first to cheat. Nobody knows the full story, do they?" He spat.
I could feel tears burn my eyes but I refused to let them show.
"You're a dick, you know? I wouldn't do that but you're just like the rest of them, only believing what the media says" i hissed, leaving the hotel room, making sure to slam the door behind me.

Nick's PoV
As soon as I saw the picture, I was angry. Furious. Yet seeing the hurt across her face tore me up inside with regret. I should've heard her out, not let her walk out.

I sat onto the bed, my face in my hands. Tears dropped down as I sobbed against my hands. After a few minutes of cooling down, I finally saw a bit clearly. There was no way she could do this. Not after everything she said on the bridge a couple of weeks ago. It didn't add up. Unless she was telling the truth?

A knock resounded against my hotel room door. I'd never moved so fast in my life, maybe it was Lizzie and I could just talk to her and know she's not alone when she's upset. I flung it open, only to seeing my older brother, Kevin, stood there.
"Hey...thought I'd come to see how you're doing" he said sympathetically.
I sighed, going back to sit on the bed.
"I mean...not the best" I shrugged.

Kevin sat next to me, rubbing my back.
"You know she wouldn't do this Nick" he said, still speaking with that empathetic tone.
He could clearly see I was upset, anyone could see that.
"I know...I just got so angry and defensive because I love her so much and I can't stand the thought of her being alone and upset" I ranted, putting my head in my hands again.
"I've sent Joe to look for her, I figured you wouldn't be together" Kevin said which immediately made me sigh in relief.
"Thanks" I whispered.
"No problem...you both just need time to cool off"

Elizabeth's PoV
I kicked my shoes off, putting my feet in the rooftop pool. It was dark so there was nobody here to disturb me.
"Thought I'd find you here" a voice said, disrupting my thoughts.
I turned to see Joe, hands in pockets warily.
"Good guess" I hummed, wiping my tears with the back of my hands.
Joe sat beside me, pulling me into a hug.
"What did he say?" Joe whispered, his head leaning against mine as we looked onto the pool.
"He said...Racheal didn't cheat first. It's not that he said that...it's that he didn't believe me when I told him the truth" I whispered.

"I know he's my little brother but hell he's a dick sometimes" Joe said, causing me to laugh through my tears.
"Yeah...," i mumbled, "but I love him Joe" I whined after a pause.
"I know you do. That's why I know you'll both be fine" he reassured.
We sat there a little bit more, enjoying each other's company. We had a few conversations but the silence was nice. It gave me time to organise my thoughts.

We both stood up, needing to sleep after this horrendously long day.
"I'll go stay with Kevin, you go to my room to see Sophie. You need some girl time" Joe teased.
"You don't have to do that" I insisted.
"You can hardly go back and see Nick, it's fine" he reassured.
I nodded, giving him another hug.
"You're like the brother I never had, as cheesy as it sounds" I whispered.
"And you're like the sister I never had, now let's put this shitty day behind us" Joe said, pulling me along to the rooms.
