Three Years A Nick Jonas Story (Book One)

Chapter 7

Shay's POV

I swear I could've kicked Joe's ass today. What the hell was wrong with him? Is their something going on between Des and him that I don't know about? God I swear, it's his time of the month. Shortly after they both left we had an argument. I'm not one to argue. I try to avoid it as much as I can, but he asked for it.

"Is there something going on that I should know about? You know, for example why you can't simply go pick up your stuff from her place?" I asked Joe folding my arms a crossed my chest.

"I told you I'm sorry. I keep forgetting since you're always on my mind," he pleaded. His eyes told a completely different story. I knew he was full of crap. I just knew it.

"You are so full of shit right now! I know you're seeing her again. You're always at her house yet when you're there you can't simply take home your stuff!"

"I'm not seeing anyone but you. Why do you think I'll see her? Because she's my ex? That's all she is to me. Besides I saw you jumping all over Nick. Care to explain about that?" He asked taking a seat on the couch.

"That's because I haven't seen him in nearly three years! Hospital visits don't count since all he was back then was nothing but almost an empty vessel. Do you remember he died in that hospital? Remember it was only you and I in the room when his heart stopped for 10 minutes? He was pronounced dead. They started to unplugged everything but you begged them to stop. You insisted on waiting for 15 minutes in case he came back. Those were the worst 10 minutes of my life. I know it was yours to. We sat on that floor crying our eyes outs. All I could think about was. How are we going to tell the rest of your family he didn't make it? Your mom that her baby boy is gone? Your dad that he's with Jesus Christ? Your brothers that he flew up to heaven? Your fans that the one thing they held on to wasn't there anymore? Once that heart monitor started up again all I could do was thank God. That it didn't have to happen yet. God told him it was not his time and sent him back. No, he didn't wake up but he was alive. I was so thankful to be in your arms. You saved not only him but myself." After all that was said I grabbed my keys.
"I'm going to head off and see him right now. Life is too short and I want to see my best friend." I left him without nothing else to say.

Once I reached Nick's apartment I went ahead and let myself in. He knew I would be coming so I didn't feel the need to knock. I found him in his room messing around on his keyboard. He played so sweetly that I didn't want him to stop. He seemed to noticed me and turned around. I gave him a weak smile while he scooted over on his black marble bench. I sat down next to him and placed my fingers lightly on the keys.

"Do you need a quick session?" he asked me. I nodded my head while he placed his fingers on the right side of his keyboard. With mine on the left together we played. He started off with the intro then sang.

"You warned me that you were going to leave.
Never thought you would really go.
I was blind but baby now I see." I gently let my voice collide with his.

"I broke your heart and now I know.
I was being such a fool
And I didn't deserve you

I don't want to fall asleep.
Cause I don't know if I'll get up.
And I don't want to cause a scene.
But I'm dying without your love.
Begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me to
Cause I rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you."

For the first time Nick let me off by myself. Taking in this chance I let what I was feeling towards Joe out in the air.

"So tell me what it is we're fighting for?
Cause you know that the truth means so much more
If you would if you could don't lie
Cause I'll give everything that I got left
To show you I meant what I had said
I know I was such a fool
But I can't live without you."

I then shut my eyes and took in every ounce of his beautiful voice.

"I don't want to fall asleep.
Cause I don't know if I'll get up.
And I don't want to cause a scene."

He paused for moment and placed both my hands down on the keys. While I looked up at him he nodded. So I pressed down on the keys and sang my heart out.

"But I'm dying without your love!" Once again our voices united.

I'm begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me to
Cause I rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you."

After I hit that last key I heard Nick applauding.

"You know you have a great voice," he smiled at me. I slightly blushed.

"I've sang with you before."

"I know, but I hadn't fully listened until tonight." I smiled but didn't dare show him my face. He wrapped his arms around me and sighed.
"What did Joe do this time?" he asked slowly petting down my hair.

"Nothing to your concern. We both just overreacted. Just trying to recover. You know from everything." He let out yet another sigh.

"I know how you feel. Hey, why don't we have a sleep over?" I gave him a look.

"Why a sleepover?"

"Why not? I mean we used to have them all the time." I studied his face to tell if he was serious or not.

"Yeah, but that's before I started dating Joe and you have a girlfriend."

"I know, it's not like we're going to do anything. I can set up the two couches and we can have popcorn while watching a movie."

"I mean we could do that, but I don't have my medication with me."

"I think you'll be fine without it for one night." I noticed my hands getting sweaty.

"If you insist, but if I wake up in the middle of the night and start seeing shit. I'm blaming you." I pointed my finger at him.

"Then I'll take it and whatever comes along with it." I smiled and gave him another hug before getting up to start the popcorn. He is my best friend and I want nothing more than that.
