Chapter Four: The Date
Tori's POV:
Nick had called me Wednesdays night to tell me to come over around 3:00 P.M. when I got up my clock said 9:47 A.M. I rolled over to try to go back asleep but it didn't really work so I got out of bed. I walked over to my desk and turned on my laptop. I went on to itunes and put on my music the song was What I Go to School For, which made me think of Nick! As the song was playing I went and got my clothes that I would wear to Nick's house. I choose a light blue shirt that was short sleeve and a pare of light skinny jeans. I stared to sing it to the music.
"That's what I go to school for even though it is a real bore you can call me crazy, she is so amazing. That's what I go to school for even thought it is a real bore, girlfriends I've got plenty but she's the one I need, that's what I go to sch-" I turned to face the door it was Aaron. He looked horrible. "Hey, good morning?"
"Your music is way too loud and now I'm up so I'm not happy!" Aaron said. I hate when he isn't happy he gets in a mood.
"I'm so sorry. I'll turn the music down." I told him. He turned around and left the room. I decided to play safe and just turn off my music. After my shower I got dressed and went downstairs and had two pieces of toast sitting on a plate. I only could finish one. I went upstairs to my room. I straightened my hair. I thought about putting make up on but I never do and he liked me with out it so I didn't. I looked at my clock, it read 2:00 P.M. Only one and a half hours left. I went on to my computer and watched videos on line and talked to Megan and Rachel. After an hour of that I got up and checked my hair in the mirror. I went down stairs and listened to my ipod until 3:15 when Aaron and I got in the car. We drove in silence.
Nick's POV:
I got up about 10:08 A.M. I took a shower and got dressed. I was wearing a green polo and a pear of jeans. I went downstairs to find that Mom had got me Lucky Charms (my favorite). I had a bowl.
"Hey Nick ready for your big day?" Kevin had walked through the door and Joe walked in behind him.
"I hope so, and I need the TV room so we can watch a movie. Is that cool?" I asked.
"Yeah, but I will come in time to time to check on you," Joe said and winked at me.
"I'm going to go clean it so it looks nice." I told them.
"Oh yeah that is cool. See you later." Kevin said. I walked in to the TV room. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There were a few blankets on the floor, and it needed to be vacuumed. I folded the blankets up and got the vacuum out. When I was done vacuuming it was 3:00 P.M. I went back upstairs to make sure my room was presentable. It was fine. I just needed to make my bed. I heard the door bell and knew she was here.
Normal POV:
Tori and Aaron were standing out side the door to the Jonas residence house. Tori rang the door bell. When the door opened Nick was standing there.
"Hey, come on in," Nick said. Tori walked in first and Aaron followed.
"Hello Nick it is so good to see you," Tori said as she looked around. "This is my brother Aaron. Aaron this is Nick!"
"Hey man it is so nice to meet you," Nick said as he shook Aaron's hand.
"Yeah I guess it is nice to meet you." He said. There was an awkward moment when Aaron starred at Nick. Luckily Joe and Kevin came into the room.
"Oh hey! It is nice to see you again Tori," Kevin said.
"It's nice to see you too Kevin." Tori gave him a smile. "This is my older brother, Aaron."
"Hey, I'm Joe" as he shook his hand. Tori took a look at Nick he was looking at her too. She gave him a smile which he returned.
"It is so nice to meet you. I should get going, and make sure Tori doesn't cause trouble," Aaron said. Tori went and hugged him good bye.
"Bye Aaron, I'll see you later." Tori told him.
"Hey bye Aaron it was nice seeing you again." Kevin said. Aaron waved and shut the door behind him.
"So do you want a tour of my house?" Nick asked.
"Yeah that would be cool," she answered. He led Tori to the kitchen. Joe and Kevin followed them.
"This is our kitchen! If you didn't know," he said.
"I know the oven, refrigerator, and stove kinda gave it away." I told him. He just laughed at me.
"We are going to our rooms, we will see you later," Kevin said.
"Ok, bye." Tori said and turned around. Joe gave Nick a wink. Nick went over to Tori and lightly touched her hand and led her out a door. Tori looked at her hand then looked up at his eyes and she went with him.
"This is the dinning room" there was an entry way to another room and went through there. "This is our family room where we write songs." He took her through a door and said "This is my favorite room because this is where I watch Kevin beat Joe at video games."
"Wow, your house is so cute!" Tori said but she thought it was a little small but she likes it.
"Do you want to see the upstairs?" he asked.
"Why not, it can't hurt, can it?" she asked. He laughed.
"No it is just bedrooms," he said. He led Tori upstairs. He pointed in to the first door on his left. "This is Joe and Kevin's room." Tori looked in and there were two twin beds, one desk and two night stands.
"It is so simple." Tori said.
"Yeah it is." He pointed to the door on his right. The door was shut. "That is my parent's room."
"Ok…" Tori said. There were two doors left. We walked to the end of the hallway.
"This is my bedroom, I share with Frankie, my younger brother." He pointed to his left. His room was just like Kevin and Joe's room but Tori liked his room better because it wasn't that messy.
"I like your room. It is cute." She smiled at him. He smiled back.
"Lets go back downstairs and watch a movie." He said. They walked downstairs. Nick led her to the TV room. "What movie do you want to watch?"
"Well I like all types of movies. It doesn't bother me." She told him.
"Ok do you want to watch The Village?" he asked, as he held the movie up.
"I've never seen it. So sure!" she smiled at him. He went and put the movie in the DVD player. Tori went and sat on the couch. Nick turned around and went and sat next to her. He pressed the start button. It was half way through the movie and Nick put his arm around Tori but by this time Tori was getting a little scared. She looked up at him "Why do you have so much red in this room?" she asked.
"Oh I don't know but don't worry I'm right here and it is just a movie," he said. Tori looked back at the movie. The words 'I'm right here' repeated over and over again in her head. She placed her head on his shoulder. A shoot of chills went up Nick's back when her head hit his shoulder.
"Are you getting scared?" he asked. Tori looked up at him with a look that said 'a little'. Nick looked at her. Her eyes were twinkling and her hair was nicely tucked behind her ears. She looked amazing. We stared at each other in the eyes. Nick leaned in to kiss her. Bang! The door flow open. Nick and Tori looked to see, Joe was standing there.
"Hey, sorry to just come in but Mom wanted to know if Tori wanted to stay for dinner?" Joe asked.
"I don't know. I need to call my father," Tori answered trying to hide how angry she was at Joe for entering when Nick was going to kiss her. "Do you want me to call him?"
"Yeah, that would be great you can just go to the kitchen." Joe said. Tori got up and walked out the door. Nick picked up the remote and paused the movie.
Nick POV:
"Nice job Joe," I said. I was so mad at him.
"Sorry, what did I do? Wait, were you about to kiss her?" Joe asked looking confused. I just nodded. "Oh no, I'm so sorry I had no idea."
"I know man. It was the perfect moment too. But it's ok. I will kiss her." I told Joe.
"Dude I totally know what you mean. It was like Summyr and I when Kevin walked in when I was going to kiss her." Joe told me. Summyr is an ex-girlfriend; they had dated for 3 months. They broke up because Summyr went to Australia for 4 mouths, she is still there but I think she comes back soon.
"Ok, I understand." I told him.
"So, how is your date other than I just barged in when you were going to kiss her?" Joe asked.
"I mean it is pretty good but I think she is sweet and when she put her head on my shoulder I got chills. That has never happened with any other girl." Nick explained. At that time Tori walked back into the room.
Tori's POV:
When I walked out of the room I took my cell phone out of my pocket. I went into the kitchen. I started to dial my house number when I noticed there was a woman in the room. She turned around. She had brown hair that was curly; she also had brown eyes. She was wearing jeans and a red short sleeve t-shirt that was cut in a v shape around the neck.
"Hello, you must be Tori. I'm Denise, Nick's Mom." She told me as she walked over to me, and shook my hand.
"Oh hello, it is nice to meet you and you have a lovely house." I said to be polite.
"Why, thank you. I thought you were watching a movie." She said.
"Yeah we are. I'm just calling my father because Joe said I could stay for dinner." I explained to her.
"Ok I'll let you make a phone call to your father." She said as she turned around to get something out of the refrigerator. I finished dialing my number and pressed send. It rang three times then someone answered.
"Hello you have reached the Kingerton residence. Who would you like to talk to?" Isabelle answered the phone.
"Hey Isabelle it is Tori. Can I talk to my father please?" I said, but in the background I heard yelling. "Who is yelling?"
"It is your mother and father. I'll go tell your father you're on the phone."
"Wait I want to talk to my mother since she is home." I told her.
"Very well. Hold on." She told me. I heard the yelling stop and my mother came to the phone.
"Hey Sugar Plum. How is my angel?" she asked.
"Hey Mom, I'm great, but I missed you. I can't wait to hear about England." I told her. I could tell Mrs. Jonas was listening because on the word miss she stood up tall.
"Ok but when you get home. So what do you want?" she asked.
"I was wondering if I could eat at Nick's house tonight?" I asked.
"I don't think so. I really want to talk to you and your father and I have news to tell you and your brother," she said.
"Ok Mom," I said in a disappointed voice.
"Honey I will come pick you up at 5:45 ish." She told me.
"Ok Mom I'll see you then. I love you, bye." I said.
"Bye Honey. I love you too." I hung up the phone.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Jonas but my Mother came home today from a month and a half business trip so she said I had to eat at home, but your dinner smells great," I told her.
"Oh, ok Tori. Does your Mother go away a lot?" she asked.
"Yeah, she does and when she is home we spend a lot of time together." I told her with a smile on my face.
"I'm sorry, but who answered the phone?" she asked.
"Oh it was Isabelle!" I told her. "She is like a second Mother to me."
"Is she your sister?"
"No she is the maid." I told her.
"Ok well you should get back to your movie and tell Joe to come help me with dinner."
"Ok and my Mother is coming to pick me up at 5:45."
"That sounds great," she said. I turned around a walked back into the TV room.
Normal POV:
"Hey, I'm back," Tori said as she entered the room. Joe and Nick were sitting on the couch. "Joe, your Mother wants you to help her with dinner."
"Ok. Are you staying for dinner?" Joe asked as he stood up.
"I can't because my Mother just got back from England and she was gone for a month and a half." She told them. Nick was disappointed.
"Oh ok I'm going to help my Mom with dinner," Joe said as he left the room. Tori went and sat next to Nick, he put his arm around her shoulder and she put her head on his shoulder. Nick started the movie up again.
"I really wish I could stay for dinner," she said.
"Yeah, me too, but it is good that your Mom is home," he said.
"I guess so, she is coming at 5:45." Tori told him. Nick looked down at his watch. It said 5:15. The movie ended 20 minutes later. When it was over they got up and went up stairs to Nick's room. Frankie was sitting on his bed with his laptop. He looked up when Tori and Nick entered the room.
"Hey Frankie! This is Tori." Nick said. Frankie got up from his bed and went over to Tori.
"Hi Tori, I'm Frankie," he said as he put out his hand. Tori took it and shook it.
"Hello Frankie. It is so nice to meet you." Frankie took a step back and ran passed them to go downstairs. "He is so cute."
"Yeah Frankie is really cool. He gets a little shy but it is cool," he said. "How'd you like the movie?"
"It was good."
"Yeah, so does your Mom go away often?" he asked as they went and sat on his bed facing each other.
"She does. The longest she has been away is about 3 months. When she is home it is good to see her and we do stuff that I can't do with my Dad. I am used to her being away. The first time she went away was for about 2 weeks and I missed her, but I kinda am used to it. What about you? Does your Dad or Mom go away for work?"
"Well my Dad went away once but it was only for about a week but he never did it again because he missed us to much," he said
"Yeah sometimes I feel like she puts work before me and Aaron." She told him.
"Nick, Tori's Mom is here." Mrs. Jonas yelled up stairs.
"Coming!" Nick yelled downstairs. They got up and went down stairs. Tori saw her Mother and she was wearing a purple top and jeans.
"Mom," Tori yelled and went and hugged her Mother. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you to honey." She answered. They broke apart. "So who is this?"
"Mom this is Nick and Nick this is my Mother." Tori said.
"It is so nice to meet you! You can call me Nancy." She said as she shook Nick's hand.
"It is nice to meet you. This is my mother, Denise," he said.
"Hello you have a very nice daughter," Denise said. Tori smiled and looked at Nick.
"Nick when you come to the party I have a pool so you can bring your bathing suit and tell your brothers. Ok?" Tori told Nick.
"Honey we have to go. Say goodbye." Nancy said.
"Bye Nick." Tori walked over to him and hugged him. When they let go, Nick kissed her on the cheek.
"Bye Tori I'll talk to you later. I'll see you Monday," he said as he waves. Tori and her Mother walked out the door and waved to them. Nick went and shut the door.
Tori's POV:
He kissed me; I can't believe he kissed me! I got into the front passenger seat and my mother sat in the driver's seat. I turned on the music. My mom had the Jonas Brothers CD in the player. I turned the music up, but my mom turned it down when we were on the road.
"What you do that for?" I asked.
"I wanted to talk. So how have you been?" she asked.
"Really good and I met a boy," I said in a sarcastic way.
"I know you met a boy, so where did you meet?" she asked. Here come the questions.
"Mom, I met him at the Jonas Brothers Concert and he is-" my Mother cut me off.
"Nick Jonas, I knew he looked familiar and I had seen him before. Nice Job!" she said. We drove into the drive way. When we stopped I got out the car and ran to my room. I had just got in there when Aaron yelled up to me.
"Hey Tori dinner is ready." Aaron yelled. I walked downstairs. "How was your date?"
"Oh Aaron, it was good." He gave me a look. "Nothing happened."
"Ok I believe you. Now let's go to the table," he said. We walked into the dining room. I took a seat close to the door. My mother and father were sitting across from each other. I sat across from Aaron. The food was already on the table.
"Dinner looks great!" I said. There was steak, rice, peas, and bread. We had skim milk for our drink. We all got what we wanted. I had a piece of steak, a little bit of peas and rice.
"So mom, how was your trip?" Aaron asked.
"It was great. The sights are really different and the roads are really bendy. Also the chocolate is to die for. I brought some home too." She explained.
"So Tori how was the date?" Now my father wanted to know.
"It was really fun. He showed me his house, which was cute. Then we watched The Village which was good. I met his family but I didn't meet the father." I told them. Then my Dad started to talk about his work so I just ignored him. When dinner was over we went in to the living room.
"Ok your Mother and I have to tell you something," my dad said.
"What is it?" I asked hoping we were getting a new pet or going on vacation to the Bahamas.
"Well your Mother and I have decided to get a divorce." I froze, my smile faded and the tears came before I could stop them.
"Why?" I asked as I started to sob. Aaron came over to me and just hugged me.
"Things just aren't working out," my mother said. I broke away from my brother and ran upstairs. I ran to my room and slammed the door shut. I fell on to my bed and just cried. I finally picked up my phone. I was going to call Nick.
Normal POV:
I dialed his cell still crying. Nick was sitting at the dinner and felt his phone vibrate. He took it out.
"Nick, no phones at the table." Denise said.
"I know. I wanted to see who it is," he said as he looked down at his phone. It said Tori's Cell. "Mom it is Tori. Can I answer it?"
"Yes but tell her we are having dinner," she said. He pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
"Nick." She sobbed.
"What is it? What happened?" he asked.
"My parents sob are getting asob divorce," she cried. Nick knew he had to see her.
"Oh no. I'm so sorry. Do you want me to come over?" he asked. Denise gave him a look.
"Yes sob please." She cried.
"Ok I'll be there in 10 minutes," he said then hung up the phone. Tori just cried on her bed till he would come.
Nick's POV:
"Nick, what do you mean you will be right there?" his Mom asked.
"Mom, I need to see her. She just found out her parents are getting a divorce." I told her. Her expression changed completely.
"Oh no, Kevin go get the car started and bring your brother to her house." She said. Kevin got up and went to get his car keys while I got my jacket. We were at her house in 10 minutes. I ran out of the car and rang the door bell. Nancy answered the door.
"Hello Nick, but this isn't the best time right know." She said.
"I know but Tori called me and she wanted me to come over." I told her. She let me in the house. It was huge.
"Isabelle can you take Nick's jacket and bring him to Tori's room?" she told a lady. They had a maid. She took my jacket and led me up two flights of stairs. We went in to the second door on the right.
Normal POV:
Tori looked up when the door opened. She got off her bed. Nick went over to her and just hugged her. She was still crying but on his shoulder. He stroked her hair.
"shhh. It is ok I'm here. Don't worry it will be ok." He said in a smooth, calm voice.
"I just sob didn't see sob this coming." She said.
"I know, shhh." He was still hugging her. After 15 minutes she finally kinda stopped crying but tears kept on falling down her face. They let go of each other. Nick whipped away the tears from her face. His hands were on checks. They looked at each other. Nick moved in closer to her. His lips lightly touched her lips. She put her arms around his neck. When they broke apart Nick looked down at her.
"I hoped that helped," he said to her softly. She smiled up at him. She leaned in to kiss him again but at that moment there was yelling from down stairs. Tori's parents were yelling at each other. Tori let go of Nick and fell on to her bed. Nick went and sat next to her.
"It is ok I'm right here," he said to her. She leaned over and hugged him.
"I know that is why I like you so much." she said. Nick smiled.
"I like you too," he said. She let go of him. There was a single tear coming out of her right eye. Nick lifted his hand and whipped it away. She just kissed him. There was a knock at the door. The door opened and Aaron was there. They had broken apart a little too late. He saw them kissing.
