Hey guys, it's been long since I last posted. I finally finished school and I just came back from my trip to Cali. So, yeah it's been amazing and next year I'll be going to University. Cool, but as promised I will update my fics. Don't worry! I came up with this story and decided that I was gonna post it in here. So guys, let me think what you think about it and if I should leave it as a oneshot just like this or if I should continue. Should I continue my other fics too? Thanks in advance. Hope you like it!
Waves. Isn't it lovely? Waves moving back and forth, crashing so hard against the rocks that the water splashed on our faces, and eventually flooding the shore, erasing our footprints in the sand. Suddenly, the wind started whipping through the nearby sun beds and howling all around us. It was blowing a gale! And then again, the waves crashing hard against the rocks and into our jet ski, now pretty unstable. I softly slip my arms around her waist to keep her from falling because, at this point, maintaining the balance became quite an impossible task.
Her blue orbs, gloriously intense, flickered to meet mine. In the few brief seconds that our gazes met, she seemed to find what she was looking for. And then she pressed her lips gently to mine. I just rested my forehead on hers and stared into her eyes. Those eyes could make me melt anytime of the day. The flashes of cameras immediately went off the moment our lips touched, as she lets go off me. "Stupid paparazzi" She suddenly says, her voice stern.
"Shut up. Barney's on" I rub my eyes and look around baffled, to find my lazy ass older brother absorbed in the cartoons. Pathetic… Oh, I'm sorry! Let me introduce myself. I'm Nick Jonas and I really couldn't believe it. I've been having the same dream for the last few nights. Four nights dreaming about when Miley and I reconnected. That glorious day when I visited her on Tybee, we talked…Then, one thing led to another and we ended up kissing on the Jet Ski. Dreaming about something that already happened. Weird, right? That could only mean a thing and I just couldn't believe it. After seven years, I'm so not over her.
That hideous 31st of December. I still remember how it all changed. A chain of events made that night the bane of my existence. It was pouring with rain. We had just finished performing and were just heading back to our bus, as we got into another fight. Yeah, another one. Since the previous week, things were going downhill between us. I swear there's nothing I regret more than having left her heart out in the rain. That night, I screwed up. Big time. And trust me, if I could take it back, I would… in a heartbeat.
"Miley, why did you kiss me onstage? I told you I wanted to keep it personal…at least for some time" I said, slightly raising my voice. Miley shook her head after tears started to well up in her eyes.
"You're being selfish" She said in an icy tone and walked away. I glanced at her blankly.
Lightning was heard in the distance, probably the start of an upcoming storm, but I quickly ignore it and reply "I'm not. You're the one being selfish here. You just want the whole world to know, even though I asked you not to" I emphasized that whole sentence. The thunder and lightning was becoming more and more frequent, which in turn was scaring me more and more.
"That's it. I can't take this anymore" The coldness in her voice was making me shiver. I could see how hurt she was by my words. "We've been fighting over stupid stuff for a whole week" She yelled frantically, tears streaming down her face and mixing with the rain droplets, now soaking us.
"Miley, wait" It's killing me inside as I watch her leave.
"It's too late. WE'RE OVER, NICHOLAS! OVER! "Miley screamed as I let out a mix of a sob and an angry outburst and place my head in my hands.
With that, I stood in the parking lot becoming drenched in the rain. I knew right away I was to blame. "Miley…" Wrapped up in an avalanche of guilt I walked away. Walked away as if we never existed.
Suddenly, I notice my body being shaken. "Nick, what's the matter with you? You've been daydreaming for almost an hour. Barney even finished" My crying would not subside, no matter how hard I tried to stop myself. My whole body shook under the covers, as the scene of our breakup played over and over in my head.
The blankets slowly peeled back to reveal my tear-stained face. "Nick, calm down. What is it?" I didn't say anything. I just continued to shake as Joe rushed to my side, lying down next to me on the bed, and wrapping his arms around me.
After what seemed to be hours, the tears were only just beginning to cease. Joe's eyes were filled with worry and concern. He handed me a tissue and I started wiping my stray tears away. I took a deep breath and mumbled. "I'm sorry. I'd rather not talk about it" I sniffled a little, but at least the intense crying had stopped. Joe nodded sympathetically.
"Okay. Nick. You know you can tell me anything. Just ask me if…" Joe was interrupted by a loud knock on the door.
"Nick? Is everything alright?" A voice was heard behind the door.
Nick gasped, closing his eyes "Yeah, everything's fine dad!" The tears stopped.
"Alright, well we're going to have pancakes downstairs if you wanna join us anytime soon" I giggled.
"I'm coming, I'm coming" I heard his footsteps grow fainter and fainter as I stood up and wiped the remaining tears away.
"Are you okay now?" Joe asked me softly as he drew me into another hug
"Yeah, I'm better. Thanks a lot" I closed my eyes as I could feel his warm body pressed against mine.
"Let's go then." Joe said as we slowly broke apart. We both headed downstairs, where the rest of the family was having breakfast. We sat around the big table in awkward silence, until Frankie decided to break it.
"You look weird today" He says quickly, feeling uncomfortable in this long silence.
"I'm…" Suddenly, a familiar melody fills the room. Great, my iphone is ringing. I finally manage to get it out of my pocket and look at the screen. Miley. I couldn't believe my eyes. Should I pick it up? Maybe not. In a matter of seconds I had plenty of stares boring into my direction and, after hesitating a lot I decided to answer the call "I need to take this one" I excuse myself up from my chair as I press the green button.
"Hi. Nick, it's me. Miley. Do you think you can keep a secret?" I hear my name being called on the other side of the line. I didn't like how she started.
"I know... Sure. What is it?" I reply harshly, my voice filled with anxiousness.
"I feel like you need to know something. You know, it wouldn't be fair if..." At this point I realized there was something big she needed to tell me. And it didn't sound like good news. "Alright. Look...this is already hard enough. I'll try and get straight to the point. I…... Liam and I are getting married"
That was really below the belt. I felt my heart literally shattering into pieces. Like a bullet through the chest...Married? … Miley is getting married? No, it couldn't be. It just couldn't be. She's got to be kidding me. We made a promise that we wouldn't marry anyone other than each other. I could perfectly remember that memory.
"I love you" A fourteen year old Miley claims as she wraps her arms around my neck. I grab her by the waist and kiss her passionately.
"I love you too. Promise me you'll never get married to anyone other than me" Miley giggled as she touched my nose.
"I would never do that to you, silly. Would you?" I whisper right into her ear. "No"
"But if that ever happens, we'll stop the wedding. Pinky swear?" We smiled as we hooked our pinky fingers together in an attempt to seal the deal of our promise.
Miley smiled, biting her lip "Pinky swear"
I snap back into reality just to be pushed by Miley's harsh voice. "Nick, you still in there?"
Quickly recovering from the shock of the big news, I mumble, my voice filled with fake happiness."Yeah. That's great, Miles" I clear my voice. "But I don't understand. I mean, you have just met him"
"I know it's a rush. But I just love him so much. I really hope that you can meet him soon"I let out a sigh and try to hide the fact that I was on the verge of bursting out into fits of tears and heavy sobs.
"So... When is it going to be?" I ask, quietly but in a tone that she would never ever hear from me.
"June 11th" I hold back the tears, now threatening to fall as I reply "You can't marry him on June 11th. That's our day" I look down, shaking my head. I couldn't help but let all my feelings I had for her go. I cried more and more as I felt someone holding onto me so tight, yet so warmly. I lift up my gaze to find Joe comforting me again. After all, he seemed to be my only support today. I owed him big time.
"Nick. You need to understand…" I couldn't believe what she was saying. I need to understand. What do I need to understand? She promised me she would NEVER ever get married to anyone else but me. She broke our promise.
"You know what? I have loads of stuff to do. Don't waste your time explaining this to me. Goodbye, Miley" Those were my last words. I didn't even have the nerve to tell her what she had just done.
"Bye-Bye" I hung up, feeling so hopeless. I hide my face into Joe's chest as I break down again. I was devastated. I felt like crying and sobbing like a little baby. I was squeezing Joe so tight that I could almost feel him wince in pain.
"Shhh…calm down" I feel his soft hands rubbing my back in soothing circles. That felt good.
I slowly open my eyes and pull away as I start mumbling.
"You warned me that you were gonna leave
I never thought you would really go"
Suddenly, Joe starts singing along with me.
"I was blind, but baby now I see
I broke your heart,
Now I know that I was bein' such a fool,
And I didn't deserve you
I don't wanna fall asleep, 'cuz I don't know if I'll get up
And I don't wanna cause a scene,
But I'm dying without your love
Begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me too.
Cause I'd rather just be alone if I know that I can't have you"
I let all the remaining tears out as I cuddle into Joe. I closed my eyes and kept crying until I fell asleep. Would I ever get up?
