A/N: My first song fic!! I hope you like it!! Based on 'Bright Lights" by Matchbox 20 aka "Quite Possibly the BEST Band EVER Besides the JONAS BROTHERS!!" Joe is 23; Nick's 20. The parts aren't really divided into specific parts. Just where I felt like stopping. Don't like it, SUCK IT. xD I had to make a few minor changes in the song, but nothing big. Changing she to he, that kinda stuff. Oh yeah, some parts are like a few sentences, while others have paragraphs worth of writing . It really depended on how much I had to work with in those specific lyrics . Want a whole chapter for one line? Once again, SUCK IT. I love you all. And if you don't understand my translating of the lyrics into the story for a section, just ask me. I'll just explain how I interpreted the lyrics. Read.Enjoy.Review.
Bright Lights
a "Joick" song fic
He got out of town on a railway New York bound
Took all except my name Another alien on Broadway
Nick couldn't take it any longer. Joe's late nights, hard partying habits, and coming home drunk were too much for him to handle anymore. He packed all his things, left a note for a hungover Joe to read in the morning, and was off to the railroad station. The only place Nick could think of going was back to where it all started. Broadway.
"One way ticket to NYC, please."
Something in this world you just can't change
Somethings you can't see until it's too late
Joe stumbled into Nick and his apartment around 12:30PM. He wasn't completely hammered fr once, but close enough.
"Baby, I'm home," No answer. "Nick, where are you?"
That's when Joe saw it. A letter on the counter explaining that Nick had left to go relive his dreams on Broadway. Things weren't stable at home anymore, and he just needed to get out. Silent tears dripped down Joe's face.
"He's...gone.."
Baby, baby, baby, when all of your love is gone who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
The first few days after Nick had left hadn't really gone too bad for Joe. It was about a week and a half after his departure when Joe really started to miss Nick. His very routine lifestyle of partying and drinking was out of sync. He didn't do either. Instead, he used all his time researching Broadway plays, checking cast lists for one familiar name. No such luck.
In need of comfort, Joe decided to walk to the park where Nick and he had first confessed their love for each other. He squirmed into the tire swing, and sat there for numerous hours, just staring at the sky, wondering how he'd survive without Nick in his life anymore.
It was close to 10PM, when Joe saw a paper traveling toward him, powered by the wind. Being the eco-friendly guy that he was, Joe went and picked up the paper. Looking it over, he was so thankful he had. It read:
"SEE "GREASE" ON BROADWAY! STARRING NICHOLAS JONAS of the pop/rock band THE JONAS BROTHERS!! Call 888-321-6599 for ticket information.
"Oh my god." Joe whispered, quite surprised at what fate had literally "blown his way." But as soon as it dawned on him that this was his way back to Nick, he couldn't hold back his joy and ran all the way back home yelling, "I'm coming, Nicky!! I'm coming!!"
