Thank you, thank you, thank you. You guys are amazing! Those reviews were awesome!!
Okay so I guess I forgot to say this before: sorry about making Miley the bad guy. I don't hate her, it's just easy to use her as the antagonist when Nick's in a relationship for someone. It was all for some drama, so sorry to those who might not have liked it.
Anyway, here's the next chapter!! It's really long, and maybe a sort of filler, but there's more fluff so I think you guys will like it!
Two days later, after the concert, they all had to get on the bus, finish packing their overnight bags, and head straight to the airport. They were headed to NYC for the boys' CD conference. It was eleven o'clock pm, and they had to make sure that they could catch a 12:30 flight into LaGuardia Airport. Sarah was given the job of helping Frankie change into more comfortable clothes (sweats and a t-shirt) and getting his stuff together for the ride. Once she was finished with him, she made sure she had everything in her large duffle bag, and then changed into her pajama boxers, put on extremely baggy sweatpants over them, and a gray soccer t-shirt. She grabbed her and Frankie's bags, and put them in the front of the bus along with everyone else's bags, awaiting arrival at the airport.
When they had arrived at the airport, they all got off the bus, Big Rob included, and headed into the airport, taking a while to find the gate and check in and everything. The boys had been fighting for the shower while they were still on the bus, and had all changed into different clothes, varying from skinny jeans to sweats. Sarah had pulled on a zip up sweatshirt (which she found out belonged to Kevin; she hadn't really paid attention what bag she was reaching into in the compartment under the bus and it was dark) and hugged it tightly around her body, feeling the chill of the airport. She sat in one of the seats next to Frankie, who was sleeping with his head in her lap, as everyone else ran around doing things. Denise and Paul were trying to find out where to go and what to do with their luggage and the boys were off with Big Rob in tow to find something to eat. Sarah had put her iPod earphones into her ears, and was staring off into space, stroking Frankie's hair absently, waiting for everyone to come back.
She had listened to a few songs, each time surprised at what came on since she had it on shuffle. She glanced down at Frankie every so often smiling at his sleeping form. She tried her hardest to keep awake, putting her music loud. She didn't even realize when someone sat next to her. Her vision had blurred because her contacts were getting dry from her not blinking in a while and she was too busy daydreaming to care. She should have changed into her glasses like Kevin and Joe did. She only came to her senses when one of her earphones was pulled out.
"What are you listening to?" Joe asked, trying to glance at her iPod that her long slender fingers were curled around.
She took her earphone back and lifted her iPod to his face.
"Spice Girls," she said, as the song ended.
"I love that song!" he exclaimed in a high girly voice and then broke out into singing in that same voice, making Sarah giggle. The song changed and she smiled, turning to Joe.
"What about this song?" she said, holding up her iPod again.
He glanced at the screen and grinned. It was Underdog by the Jonas Brothers.
"Well, that my dear happens to be one heck of a song! Those Jonas boys are insane musicians. And that middle one, he is just so awesome! No wonder all the girls love him the most! He is just so darn attractive," Joe said to her in a goofy voice, making her laugh, almost forgetting that Frankie was sleeping on her lap.
"Geez, Joseph, way to be humble," she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
Joe reached into the large bag he was holding and started eating some of the food he had bought. Concerts always left him extremely hungry.
Big Rob, Nick, and Kevin walked up to them a few moments later. Nick handed Sarah a small Starbucks bag and she looked inside. A smile found her face as she saw it was one of their chocolate chip cookies, her favorite. She resisted the urge to pull Nick's face to hers and kiss him, remembering that they were in public.
"Thanks, Nick, you didn't have to do that," she said, breaking off a piece of the cookie and popping it into her mouth.
She looked at what the two boys were holding.
"I hope you guys didn't get any coffee," she said, warningly.
Kevin shook his head.
"Nope, we want to actually sleep on the plane."
"Yeah, we just stopped at Starbucks so I could get you that," Nick added.
He was too sweet. Sarah nodded as she smiled up at him, relieved that the boys would actually get a little rest on the way to New York. The three boys stuffed their faces with various foods that they had bought at the airport, and Sarah broke off pieces of her cookie occasionally.
Finally, Denise and Paul had found them, and soon after, they were making their way to the gate and boarding the plane. Frankie had been scooped up by Paul, and they all filed onto the plane. Sarah sat in between Kevin and Nick, who had slyly laced his fingers through hers but kept their hands hidden from everyone, and started to drift off to sleep as the plane started to take off.
They all woke up two hours later as the plane was landing. Sarah woke up to find that her head had been resting on his shoulder, Nick's head had rested on top of her head, and Kevin had leaned over and was resting on Sarah's other side. She also found that her hand was still laced with Nick's as she went to shake the boys gently awake.
They stirred awake, rubbing their eyes, looking around disoriented. Sarah was extremely tired, but forced herself to stand and make the other two boys stand up. She saw Joe still sleeping a few seats over and squeezed out of the row to go wake him up. The boys followed her sleepily as she caught up with their parents, Frankie, and Big Rob, who were all exiting the plane. They arrived at a hotel about thirty minutes later, and they immediately crashed, eager to sleep in a bed, and not a chair.
Eight o'clock came around and so did another wake up call. Sarah groaned as she was woken up, but she knew she had to get out of bed. She freshened up in the bathroom, putting on her glasses, brushing her teeth, etc. Then she decided to go check on the boys to make sure they were up already. Their conference started at ten, so they only had two hours to get ready.
She grabbed her phone and her key, and knocked on the boys' room, which was right across the hall. A very tired looking Kevin answered the door, and let her in.
"Good morning," she said to Kevin, whose face fell at the sight of her. "Guess you're glad to see me," she said sarcastically.
"Not it's not that… it's just I thought you were the room service," he said, pulling her into a hug as she walked passed him. "Better?" he asked, letting her go a moment later.
Sarah laughed. "Eh, we'll see," she said playfully, smiling at him.
Kevin pretended to be hurt but chuckled with her.
She heard the shower running as she walked deeper into the room, and spotted Nick lying back on the bed, eyes closed with the covers half on the floor. Assuming he was sleeping, she walked over to him, sitting down at the edge of the bed and leaning down to kiss his lips lightly. She was going to pull away, but Nick's hand reached up and grabbed the back of her neck, keeping her lips on his for another long moment. Sarah reluctantly pulled away, shocked.
"I thought you were sleeping," she said, looking at him as he tucked his hands behind his head.
"I kind of was, not really, until you decided to wake me up so pleasantly," he said, grinning at her.
"You guys disgust me with your coupley-ness," Kevin said from across the room, digging into his bag pulling out clothes.
Sarah laughed but Nick just rolled his eyes, sitting up and stretching his arms over his head with a yawn.
"Okay, I'm up," he said finally, pulling Sarah in for a hug.
"Good morning," he whispered into her hair.
She smiled into his chest and returned the greeting before they pulled away. She stood so he could swing his legs over the bed and get up. She took his spot on the bed, snuggling under the covers. Nick glanced at her, amused look on his face, but he couldn't say anything because someone knocked on the door again.
He answered it, getting the room service. The woman brought the coffee into the room silently, and Nick paid the bill and tipped her. Kevin immediately rushed over and grabbed his coffee and a couple of sugars. Nick fixed his coffee the way he liked it and brought it with him back over to where Sarah was lying.
"Comfortable?" he asked her.
She nodded, pulling the covers up to her chin. It was a little chilly in their room because they had the AC on and she was only wearing pajama boxers and a t-shirt. The shower turned off and few minutes later, a still wet Joe walked out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. He didn't notice Sarah was there until Kevin and Nick started sniggering loudly.
"What?" Joe asked his brothers, annoyed. He was trying to find his bag, but it seemed to be missing.
"Your bag's over there, Joseph," Sarah said from the bed, trying not to stare at his body; sure she was Nick's girlfriend, but that didn't mean she couldn't secretly admire someone's good looks. She was almost completely concealed by the covers of the bed, so she went unnoticed to Joe.
He was startled to hear her voice and instinctively grabbed his towel, making sure it was fastened securely around his waist. He blushed a deep shade of red and looked at where she had pointed. Kevin and Nick laughed openly at his reaction. The look on his face was priceless. Joe quickly muttered thanks and grabbed his bag, retreating to the bathroom again.
"That was too good," Nick said through his laughter.
Kevin nodded. "Yeah, it really was."
Sarah looked up from the bed.
"Aw, I feel bad. He looked so shocked to see me."
She was starting to feel better temperature wise, so she got out of the bed careful not to get tangled in the sheets. She walked over to Nick, who was sitting in one of the chairs at the small table in the hotel room, and reached down to take a sip of his coffee.
"Sorry we didn't get you any, I didn't think you'd come over here this early," Nick said, pulling her down into his lap as she returned his cup to the table.
"It's okay, I'm fine until breakfast," she reassured him, leaning back against him as he wrapped his arms around her, trying to make herself comfortable.
"Ugh, seriously, you make me sick," Kevin said, seeing the lovey dovey looks the two were giving each other.
Sarah stuck out her tongue at him.
"You're just jealous, Kevin. But don't worry, I'll find you a girlfriend," she said to him.
Kevin laughed sarcastically. "Yeah let me know next time you meet a cool nineteen year old girl who doesn't care that I'm in a band," he muttered, mostly to himself.
A few minutes later, Joe exited the bathroom again, this time fully clothed.
"Good morning, Joe," Sarah called from her spot on Nick's lap.
The middle Jonas couldn't help but blush again after seeing Sarah.
"Good morning, Sarah," he said sheepishly.
That was something they didn't see very often – Joe being shy and quiet.
Sarah stayed in the boys' room for a few more minutes, before deciding to go get ready herself. She pecked Nick on the lips and exited their room, returning to her room to take her own shower. About forty five minutes later, she was dressed nicely in a flowy satiny blouse and sleek dark skinny jeans. She had on a pair of sparkly silver heels to compliment her top and her hair was done to perfection. She had on the perfect amount of makeup and she knew she looked good. She grabbed her stuff together and headed back out to the boys' room.
She saw Denise and Frankie also entering the room, looking ready for the day, and said good morning to them.
"You look beautiful," Denise said to her as they entered.
Frankie smiled at her.
"Yeah! You look pretty!" he said in a voice that completely resembled Joe's for a minute, making Sarah laugh.
She placed her bag next to theirs and sat down on the bed, watching the chaos unfold. Kevin was still in the bathroom, straightening his hair, and Joe was running around looking for his hat. Nick was having trouble tying his white skinny tie for some reason, and he finally gave up, having his mom do it for him. Frankie was sitting on the bed next to Sarah, complaining that he was hungry. Sarah just said there silently, happy that she was being ignored as this took place, but trying ignore her stomach's growling.
Finally, when Nick had tied his tie and put on his shoes and jacket, Joe had found his hat and strategically put it on his head, and Denise helped Kevin finish the last of his hair quickly, they all settled down. Their publicist had insisted on sending down a hair and makeup stylist, just to make sure that they were "presentable" and that woman had showed up right as they were headed out the door to grab a quick breakfast. She insisted on fixing all the boys' hair and this caused another little bit of stress. They managed to shake off the woman about twenty minutes later, looking almost the same as they had before she had gotten there.
Now, they were going to be late, so there was no time for breakfast. They all loaded into the black SUV that was waiting outside of the hotel for them and they tried to maneuver through New York City as quickly as possible to make it to the conference on time. The boys were on the phone with their publicist for last minute 'coaching' on what to say and what not to say. Sarah watched Frankie play his PSP and waited for them to arrive. In all the commotion, she hadn't even gotten a seat next to Nick. She was actually on the end, next to the door, with Frankie on her other side. Nick was sitting diagonally behind her, so she didn't have any contact with him.
They arrived at the place with five minutes to spare; just enough time for them to enter the building. The boys followed closely behind, Big Rob leading the way, and Paul, Denise, Frankie, and Sarah trailed them. Sarah was mostly keeping Frankie company during the entire thing, which was a little difficult after his PSP battery died, because he was hungry. Sarah got the okay from Denise to go with him to try and find some food while to boys talked about their new CD packaging and took endless amounts of pictures and answered questions. The executives, presidents, and other official people that were there even brought their daughters (or nieces, or other friends' daughters), forcing the boys to have an impromptu private meet and greet after the conference was over.
Sarah managed to get Frankie some food, but didn't have enough money for herself, so she watched him eat and made sure he didn't get anything on his outfit. She sat out of the way with him, watching the boys interact with the fans and smiling at them when they looked over in her direction. Some fans had spotted her and Frankie, who was now finished eating and happier, and went over to talk to them. Frankie grabbed Sarah's hand, slightly hiding behind her leg in shyness, but Sarah smiled politely at the fans.
"Oh my gosh! You're Sarah! You look so gorgeous. I'm so jealous. Can I take a picture with you?" one fan asked excitedly.
Sarah laughed and nodded, leaning close to the girl to take the picture.
Another couple of fans spotted them and went over to talk to her. They asked her all about touring with the boys, some personal questions about them, and even some personal questions about herself, including her not so favorite one: "So, are you dating any of them?"
Sarah shook her head.
"No, not at all. We're all just really great friends. Seriously those guys have become some of my best friends," Sarah said, keeping a smile on her face.
She thought the lie went smoothly and that fan seemed satisfied, but another one spoke up.
"My cousin in Tennessee went to the show and she said she saw you and Joe flirting and hugging. So you aren't dating him?" she asked nosily.
Sarah's eyes went wide.
"Of course not! I hug all the boys all the time! Joe and I defiantly aren't dating," she said hoping to convince the girls.
They talked for a little while longer. More and more girls were showing up; after they were finished meeting the boys, they went over to see if they could get Sarah's picture or autograph too. Pretty soon, there were so many girls that Big Rob actually came to rescue her and Frankie, who had moved completely behind her now, and was clutching onto her jeans tightly.
"Sorry girls, we have to go. It was nice meeting you all!" Sarah called as Big Rob shielded her and Frankie from the girls.
"Finally, Big Rob! I thought you'd never come to save us!" Frankie exclaimed, clutching Sarah's hand tightly again.
Both Big Rob and Sarah laughed. They walked over to Paul and Denise, who were looking on as the boys gave some comments to the local news reporters and entertainment news shows. They finished up, said their goodbyes and thank yous and everyone was out to the car again. They had to catch a plane to Georgia, since they were having a show there later that night.
They made it back to the hotel room, grabbed their stuff again to change into normal clothes (there was no way Sarah was wearing her heels all day), and headed back out, eager to grab something to eat before their 2:00 flight. They had settled on Taco Bell because they had little time to get to the airport and check in, and all being ravenous, ordered an extremely large amount of food. They ate semi-quickly at the fast food restaurant, not really paying attention to each other because they were so hungry.
When they were all done, they were forced to go back into the SUV to get to the airport. It wasn't until they were on the plane that Sarah really got the chance to talk to nick again.
"I feel like I haven't seen you all day," she said to him quietly, resting her head on his shoulder briefly before remembering that they were in a public place.
Nick secretly laced their fingers again and smiled at her.
"I know what you mean, I can't wait to just get to the venue already so I can spend time with you," he said the second part in her ear so only she could hear it.
She grinned at him and nodded in agreement.
The hour and thirty minute long flight went relatively fast, and they were at the venue before everyone knew it. There, they met the rest of the band who had gotten there that morning, and a very full snack table, which all three boys ran over to immediately. Sarah laughed at them. They had just eaten less than two hours before. She greeted the band, well, stopped to talk to them because Garbo claimed he needed her advice on something trivial again, and made sure Frankie was okay by his mother.
The boys were dragged away to do sound check, and Sarah watched from the side of the stage, chatting in her phone to some of her friends and family the whole time, catching up with them.
"So Tina, you said you're still in Florida?" Sarah asked her favorite cousin, who was sixteen as well.
"Yeah, we're actually staying at grandma's until next week, why?" Tina asked from the end of the line.
"Do you think you want to come out to the show tomorrow? I'm getting homesick and I need to see someone," Sarah said, twirling one of her curls around her finger.
"Are you serious? The Jonas Brothers' show? I'm there, just tell me when," her cousin said excitedly.
"Okay, cool. You should get there early though, so we can hang out before then. I haven't seen you in forever, and we have so much to catch up on," Sarah stated, glancing out at Nick, who was staring in her direction from the opposite side of the stage.
He smirked at her and she smiled back.
"Wait, I get to go backstage too? Oh my god," her cousin was practically shouting now and Sarah had to hold the phone away from her ears.
They figured out the rest of the details and talked for the rest of the sound check, and before Sarah knew it, the boys were getting off the stage, high fiving and passing her. Nick had been last, and he stopped to wrap his arms around her from behind tightly and rest his chin on her shoulder. Sarah smiled, touching one of his hands with hers, holding the phone to her ear.
"That is so cool. I'm so jealous that you went to Disney," Sarah said into the phone.
Nick had tried to kiss her cheek but couldn't reach, so he settled for kissing her neck a few times. He apparently hit a sensitive spot, because she started to giggle and squirm. Nick smirked to himself and did it again.
"Nick, stop," she said, trying to be mad about it but she was still giggling.
She started walking back in the direction of the dressing rooms and catering table, and Nick kept his arms around her, walking behind her and causing them to stumble a little and laugh.
"Look, Tina, I'm gunna have to let you go, but I'll see you tomorrow," Sarah said before hanging up the phone. She stopped walking and turned her body in Nick's arms. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked playfully.
"You don't seem to be complaining," Nick said innocently.
Sarah couldn't deny that, so she settled for wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him full on the lips. He returned the kiss eagerly and they stood there for a while, before Jack walked by and called out to them.
"Gross, get a room why don't you?" he called as he passed by.
Sarah blushed and pulled away from Nick, who frowned a little. She grabbed his hand tightly, pulling him with her to the other room to find Frankie.
That night the show was amazing, the fans were loud, and the energy was high. The boys rocked out hard and immediately after the meet and greet, they all were headed out to the bus, ready to get to the next venue. They woke up at around two in the morning as usual, moved into a hotel, and went straight back to bed.
So? Liked it? I hope so. I promise more goodness is on the way, and maybe a little more drama ;P
Review and tell me what you though!!
