Julie and the Phantoms imagines and prefrences

betrayal and reconciliation [nick X Reader]

I was backstage getting ready to perform. I looked down at the sing we were doing and mumbled with the lyrics.
I walked out of the dressing room and peeked out at the crowd.
I scan the people all sitting there waiting for a show, when my eyes land on Nick.
My blood boils. I know this sitting next to him. Shes attached to his arm. She would put him on a leash if she could.
Nick sees me through the curtain and his face falls. He looks sad and angry? Why is he angry. Hes the one that left me for her.
I look away and walk up to my bandmates.
"We're changing the song." I state simply, face full of determination.
"Why?" Kimmy asks.
"Nick and you-know-who are out there, and our job is to put on a show. Well I think I found another way to fo that."
The girls smile, and we discuss the plan.
We get called to the stage and the lights go down.
We get in our places, I'm leaning against the side of the wall.
Avery is hanging off of kimmy, who is sitting at her drums, her gum in a bubble at her lips.
Andy sits in front of his microphone his guitar hanging from his neck by the strap.
Kimmy pops her gum and the lights come on over us, leaving the crowd in darkness.
Kimmy counts us down and Andy starts shredding on his guitar.
I walk up to my microphone and start singing, I start playing my guitar.
I'm in the business of misery let's take it from the top
shes got body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock
And it's a matter of time before we all run out
when I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months she finally him free I told him I couldn't lie
He was the only one for me
Two weeks and we caught on fire shes got it out for me but I wear the biggest smile
I step back and Andy takes over the singing still killing it on the guitar.
He sings the chorus as I walk down to the audience, a wicked smile on my face, and take over the song.

Second chances they dont ever matter people never change
Once a-
I skip over that part replacing the word with a wink
Yore nothing more
I'm sorry that'll never change
And about forgiveness we're both supposed to have exchanged
I walk right up to Carrie and nick and put my hand on his shoulder looking right at carrie.
I'm sorry honey but I'm passing up now look this way
I climb up on the table and sit on it criss cross. She has a look of disgust on her face but instead of annoying me it just made me more pumped up.
I look directly at her and sing the next lines.
Well theres a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who-
I give Nick a pointed look and smug smile.
I start sitting up so I'm on one knee, towering over them.
They want and what they like
It's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse
I refuse
I refuse
I stand and jump off the table as avery takes the song and my guitar part.
I walk by nick, kiss him on the cheek and shoot him a wink.
We finish the rest of the song and the applause is deafening.
I'm walking out of the club when someone grabs my arms.
"Y/n!" I turn to see nick.
I came down from my adrenaline high so fast it's not even funny.
I look into his eyes and I'm feeling so many emotions that it makes me feel a little sick.
I feel anger,sadness, and longing, and I see the same thing reflected in his eyes. Only he has no reason to be angry.
"I really miss you." He says quietly.
"Shouldve thought about that before you left me." I say, trying to force the tears in my eyes to stop trying to show themselves.
"But I didnt! You left me."
"Yeah you did. You texted me and then when I tried to talk to you about it you kept avoiding me."
"No. You texted me! You said that you couldn't do this anymore. You broke my heart and then when I tried to text or call you back you wouldn't answer me so finally I just showed up at your house but when your mom answered she said that you didnt want to talk to me and that I had to leave and then when I pleaded with her to let me talk to you your dad came out and chased me halfway around the neighborhood!" He takes a deep breath after saying all of that without breathing.
"Yeah they did that because I saw you with carrie after you broke up with me over text, and you guys seemed awfully close and at first I tried to find some way to convince myself that you weren't leaving me for her and then you kissed her and i ran out of school, to my house and wouldn't talk to them for hours."
"But that's impossible. I didnt break up with you at all. I didnt text you saying that."
"Well than how the hell did it happen?" We were both this close to crying.
"I dont know but I do know that I really miss you."
I think for a minute before quietly saying, "I really missed you too."
A look of relief takes over his face and he tackles me in a hug.
"God, let's never fight again."
I smile and pull away.
He looks dissapointed for a second, but then I kiss him.
He seems suprised at first before putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer.
We kiss until we hear a voice behind us say "what are you doing?"
Nick reluctantly pulls away from me and groans.
"I cant prove this, but I'm pretty sure shes the whole reason any of this happened." I say quietly holding onto his arm.
I see his jaw clench slightly. I can tell hes angry but he just shakes his head.
"Y'know I really thought you wanted to help me after y/n and I split but it turns out that that pain I was feeling was actually caused by you." He sounds so hurt. It hurts me to see him like this.
"Hey Nick?" I say tugging on his sleeve.
He tears his eyes away from her and looks at me.
"Yeah?"
"Let's just go back to my house and hang out. We can watch movies and play video games," I say hoping that I can get through to him, he looks back at her, anger and disgust filling his eyes, but when he looks back at me his eyes go soft.
He nods and wraps his arm around my waist and we walk out.
Leaving carrie behind, and just getting lost in each other all over again.
