The struggles I'm facing. I may not remember. Nick's struggles.
Chapter 1
Nick's POV
The way my room seemed was too familiar. I was scared to come out. Joe was probably standing at the door waiting to punch my face in. I don't know how I or anyone started this. After Stella went on vacation Joe had turned into a menace. The fact that I refused to let anyone see myself was because I was bruised that bad. What is causing Joe to do this? I was hungry and scared to go downstairs for food and I had to go to the bathroom. Oh boy, here goes I slowly went for my door to unlock all the locks I had installed after the last incident. He had a bat with him that time. He hit me right in the gut. Kevin was right there when he did it. He tried to tell mom but she thought oh Joe is my little angel. Her little 20 year old angel. Ha, sure. I opened my door ultra slow, sure enough he was there. He tackled me to the ground and pinned me.
"No! Joe, don't do this I just have to go to the bathroom!!!"
"What do you mean? Of course I do" And then he hit me across the face. Hard then I tasted something irony and metaly in my mouth. Sure enough I was bleeding. Then I got up because he got up and I tried to run but he shoved me down the stairs. He also stood me back up and kept punching me in the gut. 5 times! I went to the ground and doubled over in pain. He snorted and left. While he left he called me a worthless excuse for a person. My stomach hurt so badly. I got up and went to the bathroom. But instead of doing my business Joe came up and punched me again so hard it made me throw up. Great now I was even hungrier. Kevin came in with an ice pack he was the only one who will believe me and the only one who sees it.
"Nick I wish I could do something. But Joe threatened to hurt Danielle and mostly hurt me. And you know how Danielle won't come over here because of what Joe does." Kevin was acting like a father if he and Danielle do have children he'd be perfect at it.
"I know. But it hurts so badly and I just wish my life was better. I've been thinking of running away many times."
"Nick you can't do that. Mom would be so upset. And Dad, but he's probably too bust he's actually seen Joe do that he thought you guys were just playing around. How can dad just sit there?"
"I don't know. But why did Stella go on vacation this wouldn't have happened." And that's when Kevin just left the bathroom. Sometimes I wish Joe would just die. I have so much anger bottled up inside of me but I'm scared to let it go. What I noticed when I was walking was that my pants were wet. Ugh curse you Joe; he punched me so hard I wet myself without knowing. I saw Joe cracking up in the kitchen. Then I did something I really regretted. I had mumbled under my breath this: Ungrateful bastard. Then he asked what I said I didn't answer so he started chasing me around the house. Finally he got he ripped the pants Stella designed for me. Joy, now if Joe doesn't Stella will kill me. He punched me and then we heard the door open. Uh oh mom was home. Joe got off of me like a puma. He picked me up and threw me upstairs; literally he threw me about halfway up the stairs, and told me to go up and change then he threw my soiled pants on my head. Started giggling and then came up and smothered the wet side in my face. Then he ran back down to stall mom. I went up and changed into my favorite pair of skinny jeans. I heard mom and Joe coming up the stairs she walked past my room. And did nothing. Phew, Joe would kill me, as he walked past my room he made the sign that I was dead meat. Then the front door opened again it couldn't be dad he was in New Jersey for a Jonas x-con. I heard Stella's voice!!!!!!! Thank you I was saved or so I thought. Joe came in and started hitting me to the ground. That's when Stella walked in my room and Joe didn't even know it. She was watching as he kept punching my face so hard I was bleeding bad not just my mouth my forehead too.
"JOE!!!! I can't believe you!!!!!!! You would beat up your own brother?????? Who does that?????? I can't date you if you're going to beat up Nick you're impossible!!" and she left the room crying loudly. Joe came and whispered in my ear: You will be dead. I will kill you. Oh man and I left the room but he caught my shoulder and pulled me back and he said: Good bye for wherever you're going. He punched me in the gut and threw me down the stairs. I was laying there on the ground gasping for breath. Stella came over and started yelling at Joe again. While they were doing that I ran out the door and to the park. That's where I saw the most beautiful girl ever. She was sitting on the park bench playing her guitar. I imagined her and me all alone in the park. I went over and sat next to her.
"Hey what are you playing?" I asked. She flinched it seemed like I scared her.
"Oh, you scared me. Sorry I get so involved in my songs so much I can't hear. Um… I playing a song I wrote. It's called stars of war." She said. Wow… she was pretty.
"I like it. Hi I'm Nick." I didn't hold out my hand only because of what Joe does to me.
"Hey I'm Kimmy. Hopefully star to be." She didn't hold out her hand either."Hey you're in that band. Nick Jonas and the administration. And the Jonas Brothers. I love your music."
"Hey Kimmy thanks for the compliment."I said smiling. For once.
