Three Years A Nick Jonas Story (Book One)

Chapter 20

Des's POV

My recovery after the whole Nick situation has started to get easier. I tried to keep myself busy by either going to the gym or taking a run. While I was walking out the other night that's when I saw Joe with the police. His shirt had been torn and his eyes were blood shot red. Someone had a little bit too much that night. I honestly feel bad for the guy.

This morning while I was making breakfast I decided to turn on 'The Today Show.' To my surprise Nick was on it. I stopped cooking and sat down at the counter to watch.

Interviewer- Nick Jonas, it's such a blessing that you're back. How have you been feeling?

Nick- I've been feeling great. I have an amazing support system. I don't know where I'll be without them.

Interviewer- Care to name a few?

Nick- My family of course; along with friends, my girlfriend and let's not forget the amazing fans.

Interviewer- Your girlfriend? Is it the fan girl that we've been seeing you around with?

Nick- Well no, we unfortunately went our separate ways. I'm currently with Shannon Werle.

Interviewer- Didn't she date Joe?

Nick- Yes

Interviewer- Interesting..So how do you feel being second choice between the two girls?

Shit, I forgot to tell him about Joe and I.

Nick- Excuse me?

Interviewer- While you were away Joe and Desiree were quite the couple. They never told you?

Nick- Oh yeah, I thought you were talking about something else. Yes, I knew about them.

Wait what? Why is he lying to them? Unless Joe told him..That little weasel can never keep his mouth shut! I quickly turned the tv off and called him.

"Hello?"

"Joe! What the hell is wrong with you! Why did you tell Nick about
us?" I screamed in the phone.

"We talked about telling him. Besides, I didn't tell him. Why are you screaming at me? I have a serious hangover."

"That's not my fault. Do you know who told him?"

"No idea, maybe Shay did. May I please go back to sleep now?" I quickly hung up the phone. I don't think Shay would risk her relationship with Nick by telling him. Maybe no one did and the interviewer was the first to bring it up. But why would Nick lie about it? I grabbed my keys to go find Nick and talk to him. As soon as I opened the door I ran into him. He stepped back grabbing me.

"Hey there, we need to talk." I nodded my head and lead him to the kitchen.

"Would you like anything?"

"No thank you," he said while taking a seat on the bar stool. I did the same next to him.

"Why did you lie? You know, about Joe and I and how you knew?" Nick sighed.

"Don't worry, I'm not mad. I wish I was told earlier so I knew how to handle it when asked. The media can be quite cruel at times. I didn't want them to be going after you. They can put me down with whatever they want. They can call me a player, a heartbreaker, and a backstabber. I don't care, as long as they're not going after you two girls."

"So you did it to protect me? Why?"

"I don't hate you. We just didn't work out as a couple. I still care deeply about you," he said grabbing my hand. I smiled at him.

"I know I may be a bitch. I'm sorry if I hurt you." Nick laughed,

"I don't blame you. No hard feelings okay? I would like to continue being friends," he said standing up to give me a hug. I stood and did the same.

"I'll like that." Soon after he let go.

"I think you and Joe should give it one more shot," he said winking at me. He then kissed the top of my head and left. Joe and I? That guy really knows how to get under my skin. Maybe that's why we could be perfect for each other. No one can make me so frustrated then happy at the same time. Maybe Nick's right, it'll never hurt to try.
