Chapter 21
Nick's POV
Day 1 of punishment. No computer, no TV, at least they didn't take away my guitar. Cause like without it, I don't know what I'd do. And like, my Sidekick, I'm glad they didn't take that away either. I stayed in my room all day practically, ignoring the family. Just sorta thinking about everything me and Manda talked about, everything I said to Kevin. I don't feel bad about telling that to Kevin. Someone needed to wake him up from this little dream of his and give him a dose of reality.
I picked up my guitar and started playing our first song we'd ever written as the Jonas Brothers together. Please Be Mine.
Can't Stop The Rain From Falling
Can't Stop My Heart From Calling You
It's Calling You
Can't Stop The Rain From Falling
Can't Stop My Heart From Calling You
And I will be there forever
You will see that it's better
All our hopes and our dreams will come true
I will not disappoint you
I will be right there for you
Till the end
The end of time
Please Be Mine
I sang over and over. I had a song in my heart, and just didn't know how to write it down. No, not Please Be Mine, but something else. Something new. A song about Manda…
Take my hand tonight
We
can run so far
We can change the world to anything you want
We
can talk for hours just staring at the stars
They shine down to
show us
Even when the sun forgets to shine
I'll be
there to hold you through the night
And we'll be running so fast
we can fly tonight
And even when we're miles and miles apart
You're still holding all of my heart
I promise it will
never be dark
I know. we're inseparable
I know ya'll know the rest of the words to this song…
I wrote. Inseparable. That's what I called it. And it's about Manda, and me. Cause that's what we are, inseparable.
Someone knocked on my door after I'd started to play my song again. "Come in" I yelled. It was Kevin. Great. "Hey buddy" he said and sat down next to me on the floor. "Hey" I said quietly. "Whatcha writing?" he asked me, looking at my Sidekick. "Um, a song" I said. "Can I see it?" Kevin asked me. "Sure, if you want. It's not terrific" I said, handing him my Sidekick. After Kevin read it, all he said was wow for a while. "That's really good Nick" he said. "Thanks" I replied. "Is it about Manda and you?" he asked. "Uh, yeah, it is" I told him. "You did a great job with it" he complimented me, handing my Sidekick back. "Thanks" I replied.
"Nick, I know you didn't mean to really yell at me last night about Gwen. And that like, you were just mad about everything and stuff. I mean, I know you don't like her and all-" Kevin started, but I interrupted. "Kev, listen to me. What I said, I did mean. I don't regret telling you that." I said. "Well, um, I'm really sorry you feel that way about her" he told me. "Kevin, I'm not the only one. Joe thinks the same thing. We talk about it all the time" I said. "Well, then I guess you're both going to be mad at me or like disappointed or disown me or something. You may like kick me out of the band or" he started to say. "Kevin, we wouldn't kick you out of the band unless you like really pissed us off or something" I said. Kevin laughed. "Well, you may just take me out of the will then or something, because, well" he said, and pulled something out of his pocket. It was a small black box. He opened it, and what I saw, I thought I really never actually would for this girl.
