So…I tried to make this one longer, but idk how well that worked out…But I would like to say that there will be one more chapter after this, and then there will be a sequel, so don't worry. I really want to do a Moliver story since I'm really into those right now, but I really like writing the ones with the Jonas Brothers. But What's It Like, if any of you were reading that, will probably go into a Moliver, if not for the whole sequel, for part of it. I have to see what happens while I'm writing. But for right now, enjoy chapter 9!
And thank you all for all the great reviews and thanks for putting up with me and my slow updating. I'm really sorry about that!! I had finals and then once summer vacation started I went on vacation for a week, and then just got complete writers block with this story. Then a couple of nights ago this light bulb went off in my head and then bam, this chapter was made!
Nick Jonas was never one to get jealous. For Christmas, when he was ten, Joe got a new iPod, and Nick got a Gameboy. He didn't care. He just kindly thanked his parents as Joe bragged about his iPod to his brothers. When Nick didn't get the lead role in the school play when he was 8, and Joe did, he just worked hard at his role and let Joe take the spotlight, even if he didn't want the lead. But when Joe kissed his girlfriend, he drew the line.
Miley was Nick's, no exceptions. She wasn't a material object that could be taken, she was Nick's girlfriend, that he loved. And Miley loved him. At least…that's what he thought. If she loved him, why did she kiss Joe, or let him kiss her?
These were the thoughts circulating through Nick's head as he walked throughout the club searching for Lilly.
He couldn't pin-point why she did it. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it wasn't. Maybe she was just dating Nick this whole time to try and get to Joe. Maybe Joe secretly liked Miley and finally made the move when he wasn't around. He couldn't figure it out, and he was too pissed at both of them to figure it out.
But the one thing that Nick did know was that Lilly needed to hear what was going on. She had a right to know. Miley was her best friend and Joe was her boyfriend.
He would tell her, and they would figure it all out together.
He walked toward the front of the club as he searched for Lilly, pushing through the crowd of guests trying to break out of this hell-hole.
He saw Lilly sitting by the stage, in one of the tables that was still set up, tapping her fingers and looking around, as if waiting for someone. What if that someone was Joe, who stood Lilly up to go make-out with Miley. The thought suddenly made him gag. He started walking faster, almost running, towards Lilly. When she saw him she stood up and met him halfway.
"Nick, thank god, have you seen Joe? He just kind of ran off."
Nick's hand went into a fist again as he let out a deep sigh. "You should sit down for this."
A look of panic fell upon Lilly's face. "What's wrong?" She asked as Nick led her back to the table.
"I don't know a right way to tell you this, so I'm just gonna come out and say it." Nick started. He could tell Lilly was scared. Hell, so was he. "Joe's cheating on you, with Miley…they kissed."
For a while, Lilly didn't say anything. She just kept quiet. But he saw that she was hurt. He noticed the tears falling down her face as she finally spoke, "How do you know?"
"I heard them talking." Lilly started crying harder.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because Lilly, you have a right to know."
"You shouldn't have told me. I didn't want to know this!" She shouted.
"Lilly-" She got up and ran away, the tears still falling. He couldn't see where se went in the darkness. He got up with anger in his eyes. Nick didn't even recognize himself right now. This was the most angry he has every been. The people that he loved and trusted betrayed him, and the one person that he thought he could count on throughout all of this was too hurt and scared to do anything.
He started to head back to where he heard Miley and Joe earlier, thinking maybe he could talk this all out with his girlfriend.
But once he saw her walking towards him, all he wanted to do was scream, not talk.
"Hey Nick," She said as though nothing was wrong. "Where you headed?"
Nick pushed past her. "Get away from me Miley."
Miley gave him a strange look. "What's your problem?"
That did it. That was the push that made him explode. He stopped and turned around, and looked right at her, into her eyes. "Don't pretend like you don't know what you did, Miley. Don't pretend like everything is alright." Nick said, the anger coming out in his voice. "I know you and Joe kissed. Now just get away from me. I don't want to see you." He said and kept walking. He could tell she was following him.
"Nick, please, it isn't what you think! Let me explain!"
He turned around again. "No Miley, I don't want to hear you stupid sob story! I don't care why you kissed, and frankly, I don't want to know!"
"Nick Please!"
"Save it Miley. Why don't you go back to my brother? He can show you a good time no matter how much I loved you." That was it. And he was gone.
Miley didn't try to stop him. She knew he wouldn't listen. If only he would, then he would understand.
What hurt her most though, was that Nick said loved. That killed her. That was the main reason she went to find Joe and tell him what Nick knew, so they could explain together.
----------------------------------
Miley found Joe right back where she left him, but this time, with a beer in his hand, half full.
She ran to him and took it out of his hand. "What the hell is this?!?!" Miley shouted. "You're drinking now?!?"
Joe gave her an evil glare and reached for the drink, but not nearly reaching her hand. "Give it to me." Miley saw him miss her hand completely.
"How many of these have you had?"
Joe thought for a second. "Just like, one, maybe two. I think." He slurred a couple of his words.
Miley shook her head at him. "I cannot believe you're resorting to alcohol."
"Well why not? I mean, once Lilly finds out she will hate me, and once Nick finds out he's not going to give me the time of day." He tried again to reach for the drink. "I've got nothing to lose."
"How about your life?"
"Shut up Miley, it was two freakin' drinks. It's not like I drank out the whole bar."
Miley shook her head and slapped him across the face. Joe screamed and he rubbed the part she slapped.
"Now listen to me Joe. Nick knows."
Joe finally started to pay attention and looked at her. "He does?"
"Yeah, he started freaking out. He's really upset Joe. He thinks that we just kissed because we wanted to." Miley held back her tears. "He said he doesn't love me anymore."
Joe put an arm around her and squeezed her tight. "Shh, Miley, come on, it'll get better." Joe said, finally going into big brother mode.
"No it won't. He won't listen to me, and I doubt he's going to listen to you. This is the shittiest 16th birthday a girl could have."
"Well no, you could be pregnant." Joe laughed.
Miley hit his arm. "This isn't the time for Jokes." Joe nodded.
"Miley, Nick just needs time to cool off. Once he's calmer, we can explain to him, and to Lilly, what really happened."
"Oh my god Lilly! What if Lilly knows!" Miley started freaking out. "Things will never be the same between us!" Miley then started crying. "Oh my god, I lost a boyfriend and a best friend."
Joe kept on talking, trying to calm her down, and trying to make her believe that everything will be alright. He went from hating life, to thinking everything would soon get better. She had no idea what to believe.
----------------------------------
Nick sat down at the bar and let out a loud sigh as he slammed his head down onto the table, atop his arms. Kevin, who happened to be sitting next to him, looked down and saw it was his little brother.
"Nick? What's wrong?"
He recognized Kevin's voice and responded, but still didn't pick his head up. "Life sucks."
"What? Why?"
Nick sighed again and looked at his brother. "Because Miley and Joe kissed." Then he put his head back down.
Kevin's eyes widened and he almost spit out his drink. "What the-are you sure?"
"Positive. I heard them talking about how, 'it's so hard kissing me because she kissed Joe.' So yeah, I'm pretty damn sure." Nick spat.
"Jeez okay, don't need to get all mad at me."
"I'm sorry, I just…how can this day get any worse. First the power goes out, then Oliver's on drugs, then I find out my girlfriend cheated on me with my brother. I mean seriously. I bet a ton of other stuff happened that I don't even know about. Now Lilly is all pissed at me because I told her what happened."
"Why did you do that?"
"Kevin, I think she deserves to know. Better to hear it from me then to overhear it." Kevin nodded in agreement. "I just don't know what to do right now."
"Talk to Miley."
"What? No. No way. I'm not speaking to her!"
"Well I think you should. You overheard her Nick. Maybe it isn't what you think."
"And maybe it is."
"Maybe, but you will never know until you ask her."
"And if she lies to me?"
Kevin shrugged then got up and walked away into the darkness.
"Wow thanks Kev!" He screamed after him. "That was a big help! That definetly solved all my problems!" Nick slammed his hands onto the table. "UGH! I hate this!"
So that's where I'm ending this chapter. I know, crappy ending. But I didn't know what else to add. I know exactly what I'm going to do for next chapter, so hopefully, if everything works out, it will be up tomorrow night.
But in the meantime, please review!
For everyone who read What's It Like, I should be started that soon!
