Nick P.O.V

I slouched down against the wall, not caring about the cuts that would be made by the wall on my back.

This was my favourite place. This was the first date Demi and I had. I remember it so clearly.

*Start flashback*

"Nick stop...it tickles!" She screamed, squirming beneath me.

"Not until you say it."

"Never!" I tickled harder, moving my hands all over her stomach. "Fine, fine Nick Jonas is the hottest boy ever." I stopped my hands from moving anymore, but positioned them on her hips. I was lying horizontally on top of her, my chest up against hers.

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear." I breathed out. Her chest rose up and down with all of the rolling around she had been doing. "Did I tell you, you look beautiful tonight?"

"No." She smiled weakly.

"Well you do, you look more beautiful than ever." I leaned in, connecting our lips in a slow, passionate kiss. It was much different to our normal, heated and horny kisses that would lead to us having sex minutes later, oh yes it was a lot different.

*End flashback*

"Penny for your thoughts?" My head shot up at the sound of her voice.

"How did you know I'd be here?"

"This is our place, I knew you'd be here, plus I know you pretty well." She walked over and sat down next to me, taking my hand in hers.

"Demi, you shouldn't be around me." I pulled my hand from her grasp.

"Why Nick?"

"Because I'm dangerous."

"You might be Nick, but you don't scare me. I know you won't hurt me." She grabbed my hand again, rubbing her thumb across the bloodied knuckles. "She forgives you, do you know that?"

"What?"

"I know Nick, your parents told me, but I need you to know, the mom forgives you. She knows it wasn't your fault; you couldn't do anything about it. It was out of your control." She rubbed up and down my arms, waiting for my reaction.

"How do you know that Demi? I know she hates me, I took away her life and her children, I'm a monster."

"If you were a monster, you would be in jail. But you're not Nick, it wasn't your fault."

"You don't know that Demi."

"Remember my mom Nick? I blamed myself for what happened, and I got over it because the boy I love told me that it could have happened to anyone and that she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's the same Nick and you know it, deep down you know it. Just let yourself believe and admit that it's not your fault because everyone knows it isn't."

I waited for the violent words and the familiar stabbing pain in my heart but it never came.

I forgive you.

We forgive you.

"Please don't leave me Demi." I begged turning to her.

"Why would I leave?"

"I can't let it happen again." I whimpered, grabbing onto her hand tighter.

"What happen again Nick, speak, tell me?"

"Don't hurt me like she did, don't leave me for Luke, I can do better, I'll do whatever you want just please don't leave me, I love you." I buried my head in the crook of her neck, smelling her faint perfume.

"Nick baby, I'm not leaving you, ever. I'm Demi, I'll always be here, I'm not like Emily, I love you and I'll never leave, even if you want me to."

"Really, you're not leaving me?" I jolted, the tears stopping.

"No, never."

"Even after what I did?"

"Baby it was a long time ago and it wasn't your fault, you didn't kill them."

"I believe you." The words came out of my mouth before I even had time to process the thought of saying them. I waited on the voices, but they never came. I felt myself again. I didn't feel anger or hatred towards myself. I just felt...normal.

"I love you so much Nick." She climbed onto my lap, pecking my lips.

"I love you so much more." I pulled her towards me, engulfing her in a hug. This was what I needed, nothing else. "Thank you so much baby, you brought me back. Second time in a row."

"I brought you out of it last year?" She pulled back, shocked. "But we weren't dating?"

"I know, but it was the end of school and the start of summer, Do you remember how I was at the start of summer?" I gave her a few seconds before she nodded. "Well without you dragging me out of bed every day and making me do stuff I didn't want to do I wouldn't be here today, with you. Talking about it right now, I'd probably be dead."

She smiled widely, rubbing my arms. "And that smile was the biggest part. Never stop smiling baby; it looks too good on you." She hid her face in my sweater, covering her red cheeks.

"Nick stop." She groaned.

"Why?" I teased.

"You know I hate compliments."

"But you saved my life, surely you can accept it just this once?"

"For you, I'd do anything, so just this once." She rested her forehead against mine, pecking my lips over and over again. "Nick, why did the voices come back?" She looked into my eyes, sadness evident in hers.

"I don't know."

"Nick, I know you know, tell me." Her thumb skimmed across the stubble on the side of my face.

"I thought I was going to lose you."

"Why would you think that? I thought we were going good, great even." She furrowed her eyebrows, biting on her bottom lip.

"We were, we are." I grabbed her hips, pulling her even closer to me.

"So why did you think that?"

"Because he likes you, and last time when one of my friends liked my girlfriend they ended up sleeping together, and I ended up being cheated on."

"Who?"

"Luke." I stated matter of flatly.

"That explains it."

"Explains what?"

"Lately I keep seeing Luke stare at us when we're you know, like making out or whatever and he looks really sad. And when we're alone he acts all nervous and today I caught him staring at my ass." I tightened my grip on her hips, the jealousy which had now turned into anger, pulsated all around my body.

"I'm going to fucking kill him. He can't look at you when you're half naked and look at your ass and get away with it." I growled, pushing myself up from the ground, with Demi's legs still wrapped around my waist. "Demi, let go."

"No, Nick calm down. We'll deal with it together, beating him up isn't going to do anything is it?"

"Demi, you're mine, he can't look at you like that, you're friends that's it." She bent her neck and put her lips to my neck. Her lips closed over the skin just below my earlobe, sucking on the bit of flesh making it redden. "Shit, Demi."

"I know baby." She muttered before biting down lightly, sending waves of pleasure to shoot around my body. She ground her hips against mine, a loud moan escaping out of my parted lips. "I love you, don't go after Luke."

"I won't baby, I'm back." I breathed out, clasping my hands over her ass and squeezing it. "So are you up to anything now or?" I tilted my head back, giving her easier access to my neck.

"No...We are." She pulled her lips off my neck and positioned her face millimetres away from mine.

"What?" I sighed, licking my lips.

"We're going to see your parents and tell them what happened and then they'll take it from there."

"Dem, everything's fine now, it was a blip, that's it." My right hand slipped underneath the gap in her shorts at the back, my fingers soon relished in the feel of her smooth skin.

"Nick, get your hand out of my shorts." She pressed her front against mine, moaning as I squeezed the skin hidden by the shorts.

"You sure baby? I'm cool with going at it right here." She pulled back, slapping her own ass to get my hand out. It didn't succeed.

"Nicholas Jonas, I will never have sex with you in a public place!" She blushed, hiding her face. Knowing that this was Demi; the most popular girl in school and that she got embarrassed so easy is weird. But I think it's so adorable either way.

"You blush too much baby." I chuckled, stepping back from the wall and grabbing her small hand.

"Well it's your fault, you always make me blush." That's true; I don't think I've ever seen her blush when she's not around me.

"Guilty as charge...but baby, I like it when you blush, you look so cute." I tapped my finger on her nose, earning a 'Demi' scowl. Yeah you could say I've got use to that 'look' now. Well we have been dating five months, so can you blame me?

"Nick, you're doing it again." She groaned, hiding her face into my chest, pulling on my sweater to cover up her face.

"Baby, I'm never going to stop complimenting you, you'll just have to learn to deal with me saying nice things about you... and meaning them." I wrapped my arm around her waist, my trailing hand grabbing onto the one by her side. "Come on, let's go see my parents." I smiled sarcastically knowing how they would react. Yeah Demi was in for a treat.
