No one's POV
The week had flown by for Brittney. It was now a Friday, and tonight she and Nick were going to double date with Jasmine and her boyfriend. Brittney just hoped that Nick and she could pull it off. She had been kind of dreading it the whole week.
People streamed past her as she made her way out of the front doors of the school and out onto the sidewalk. That's when she saw Nick leaning casually against the outside of the school. He looked totally hot and mysterious with his blue aviators and his black hate on with his curls barely showing. Suddenly two girls walked over to him. One had light blonde hair and the other had dark brown hair, it looked like they had spent hours straightening them. Nick half smiled at them, the girls giggled and began to flirt with him. Twirling their hair with their fingers and batting their eyelashes.
Nick was totally nice about the whole thing. He just talked to them and ignored them when they tried to give him seducing looks. He glanced over and saw Brittney just get to the sidewalk. Now his half smile turned into a genuine grin and he stood straight up. "Brit!" He shouted motioning for her to come over.
Brittney smiled back at him and slowly made her way over ignoring the confused looks that the girls exchanged. She stood next to him and Nick draped his arm over her shoulders pulling her just a bit closer to him. Brittney saw the girls glaring at her. "Who is this?" The one with the blonde hair asked her blue eyes eyeing Brittney.
"This is my girlfriend Brittney." He said emphasizing girlfriend. The brown haired girl raised an eyebrow.
"Are you serious?" She asked sneering. Nick just grinned.
"Yep. Anyways, we've got to go. We have plans." And with that he took Brittney's hand and pulled her away from the two girls. Brittney didn't dare look back.
"Why were you waiting for me?" Brittney asked blushing. Nick was still holding her hand.
"I thought we could hang out before we went on our date." Nick said not looking at Brittney so he could hide his blush. Tonight would be the perfect night to tell her how he felt. He already had it all planned out. "Oh, okay. Just let me call my sister and tell her."
Brittney punched in her sister's number and waited for her to pick up. "Hey Brit." Jazz said when she picked up.
"Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I am going to hang out with Jerry before the double date."
"Okay, but don't get back too late. We need a lot of time to make sure we look hot." Jasmine said. Of course she was always thinking about the way she looked.
"I won't. Love ya, bye." Brit said before hanging up. Nick lead her to the parking lot where Kevin and Joe were parked. He opened the door and let her go in first. Then he jumped in and closed the door. Kevin immediately pulled out.
"Hey guys." Brittney said warmly.
"Hello." Kevin said quietly and dully. Brittney looked at Nick curiously.
"What's wrong with him?" She asked.
"Oh, he hasn't had Starbucks all day." Nick said and Brittney covered her mouth to keep her from laughing.
"Hi Brit!" Joe said with his usual hyperness, except he didn't turn around. Brittney wondered if he was mad at her and was only faking being happy.
Kevin drove them to Starbucks, but the parking lot was full. "Shit." Kevin muttered pulling a u-turn and finding them a parking space two blocks down. "Looks like we are going to have to walk their." Kevin said unbuckling his seatbelt and getting out of the car. Everyone else did too and they started walking.
Suddenly Nick glanced over at Joe and noticed that Joe was wearing his red aviators. "That's were my favorite pair of sunglasses went. You stole them!" Nick yelled trying to grab them off of Joe's face. Joe took a step back and shielded his face with his arms.
"Yes, but you have to admit they look much better on me." Joe teased. Nick gave Joe a death glare and jumped on him. Both Nick and Joe's hate flew off revealing a head full of dark brown curls, and a head with straight dark brown hair. They wrestled each other to the ground. Brittney blushed because people started starring and Kevin started to try and break them up. Unfortunately Nick and Joe pulled him down and into the tussle. Kevin's hate also fell off.
People started to gather around the three brother's completely ignoring Brittney who stood their stunned. Finally Nick got his aviators from Joe and stood up. That's when he noticed all the people there. "Oh my Jonas! It's the Jonas Brothers!" One girl screamed out. People began pulling out their cell phones to take pictures.
"Crap." Joe said when he saw a flash go off. He stood up and pulled off his red hoodie and handed it too Brittney. Brittney slipped it on as fast as she could and pulled the hood over her had hiding her face.
Suddenly the paparazzi were there and taking pictures. "Jonas Brothers look over here!" "No look over here!" People shouted.
"Who is the girl with you?" A woman shouted and Brittney pulled the hood lower onto her face.
"Sorry about this." Nick whispered to Brittney. "If I were you I would run. They can get pretty nasty when they want to no something."
"Okay." Brittney said starting to feel dizzy by all the flashing lights. She wasn't what you would call photogenic.
"I'll see you tonight, at six." Nick said. Brittney nodded, and then she turned and took off running.
"She's getting away! Follow her!" She heard some shout and could hear footsteps running after her. She panicked. She ran down the street and turned into an alley. She saw a spot behind a trashcan and squeezed herself into it. Her heart was pounding and she was breathing heavily. She was stuck in a tight ball with her back pressed up against the wall of a brick building. She heard the footsteps of the paparazzi run past her.
Brittney let out the breath she didn't know she had been holding. She waited a bit longer to make sure they didn't come back then slowly eased herself out into the open. Her dark brown eyes searched the alley before she silently began walking. She stepped out of the alley and back onto the sidewalk.
She still kept the hoodie on just in case some paparazzi were lurking around. She started down the sidewalk at a brisk pace. She checked her cell phone and read four thirty on it. That meant she only had an hour and a half to get ready! Suddenly she could hear Nick's voice. 'Brit, it's me, pick up'. Brittney flipped open her cell phone and spoke into it. "Hey. What's up?"
"Hey, I was just wondering if you got away safely from those people." Brittney could hear people talking in the background and assumed he was at Starbucks.
"Yeah, I did. What happened with you guys when I left?" She asked while crossing the street and turning the corner. She saw her school up ahead.
"Well, basically all the paparazzi went after you. The ones left kept trying to make us tell them who you were, but we didn't. Eventually they noticed we weren't going to tell them anything so they left." Brittney smiled.
"Thanks."
"No problem. Hey, I gotta go so I can get ready for our date tonight. Bye." He hung up and Brittney just closed her phone and stuck it in the front pocket of her jeans. She passed the school and walked across the street again. A few minutes later she was walking up her driveway sweaty and tired.
"What happened?" Jasmine said when she saw Brittney heading toward the bathroom. She eyed the red hoodie that Brittney was wearing.
"I'll tell you later." Brittney said, she needed time to think up a lie.
Brittney walked into the bathroom and closed the door. She turned on the shower and stripped off her sweaty clothes. She stepped into the shower and let the hot water run down her body with a sigh.
After shampooing, and conditioning her hair, and washing her body she turned off the water and got out. She wrapped a towel around her hair to dry it faster and dried off her body. She wrapped another towel around her body and stepped out of the bathroom. She walked into her room and began to pick out her outfit.
Since they were just going to the movies she decided to pick out something simple but cute. She picked out a white tee that said 'true love never dies' in pink and silver letters. Then she picked out ripped Bermuda jeans with red flip flops, red headband, and a silver chain necklace with a red heart. It seemed like the perfect outfit. Hopefully Nick would get the hint.
She slipped into her outfit. Just as she was admiring it in the mirror Jasmine walked in. "Need help with makeup?" She asked flopping down onto Brittney's bed.
"Yes, please!" Brittney said and sat down. Immediately Jasmine went to work. Finally they were done and the doorbell rang.
Brittney's POV
"They're here!" Jasmine squealed and pulled me out into the hallway. I just managed to grab my purse before she was dragging me over to the front door. She flung it open to reveal Austin…And Nick. Nick in all his sexy glory. My jaw nearly dropped at seeing how hot he was.
"Austin!" Jasmine cried and flung her arms around the blonde guy's neck. I snapped back into attention and shyly stepped closer to Nick.
"Hey." I said quietly.
"Hey." He said right back and hugged me.
"Let's go! I can't wait to see the movie." Jasmine said already starting down the driveway with Austin right beside her.
"Who's driving us?" Nick asked me looking around as if someone would appear out of thin air with our ride. I laughed.
"No one silly, we're walking. The movie theatre is just a few blocks away."
"Oh, okay." Nick said and held out his hand for me to take. We quickly caught up to Jasmine and Austin and made small talk until we reached the movie theatre. Austin paid for Jasmine's ticket and Nick paid for mine. We walked up to the concessions and got in line.
"So, what do you want?" He asked me. I starred at the sign that had all the food and prices on it.
"Um…Just popcorn and water." I replied moving along with the line. I didn't really like soda; it just didn't go well with me.
"Okay." He said and when we got to the front of the line he ordered a medium popcorn, a water for me, and diet coke for him. We caught up to Jasmine and Austin and walked into the theatre. It was dark and we weaved ourselves carefully through the seats until we were five rows back and at the end of the row. Nick took of his sunglasses and hat since he knew no one would recognize him. I settled in waiting for the movie to start.
We were seeing the movie Fool's Gold. I didn't know what the movie was about, but my sister said that it sounded good so I trusted her on it.
Nick set the bucket of popcorn in his lap and I blushed as I grabbed a handful of it. Thankfully the theatre had gotten darker as the previews came on. I turned so I was straight forward and silently began to watch.
During the middle of the movie I felt as though someone was watching me. I turned my head and saw Nick starring at me. It looked like he was out of it. I smiled uncertainly at him and he snapped back into attention. He gave me a small smile and turned back to the movie. I just shrugged my shoulders and grabbed a handful of popcorn.
---
The movie was over so we got our trash and walked out of the theatre. We threw our trash into the trash can and made our way outside. It was now dark outside and just a bit chilly. I rubbed my bare arms; I couldn't believe I didn't bring a sweatshirt along! Nick noticed that I was cold and put his arm around me pulling me closer to him. Without thinking I snuggled up to him. "Are you warmer?" He asked me and I nodded.
I glanced over at Jasmine and Austin. They were a really funny couple. They were both outgoing, and hilarious. Right now they were laughing over something one of them had just said.
I smiled as I watched them. "What?" Nick said and I looked over at him. "Hmm?" I said still thinking about Jasmine and Austin.
"What are you smiling about?" Nick said a half smile on his face.
"Oh, well I was smiling at Jasmine and Austin. Aren't they such a cute couple?" I asked. Nick looked over at the two who were now holding hands and talking.
"Yeah," Nick said quietly. "They are."
We turned the corner and I saw my house. The light in my mom's bedroom was on so I knew she was going to be hammering us with questions. Of course Jazz and I wouldn't go into total detail. We would just give her enough answers to satisfy her.
Nick stopped at the end of the driveway and Jazz and Austin walked up to our front porch. Nick dropped his arms from my shoulders which were slowly becoming cold. I turned and faced him smiling. "I had fun tonight." I said.
"Me too. We should do it again sometime." Nick said. I nodded my head in agreement. We fell silent and I looked around awkwardly. When I looked back at Nick he was slowly leaning toward me, tilting his head and closing his eyes. I did the same and our lips met. My heart beat faster and adrenaline rushed through my body. I felt like I could do one hundred backhand springs, which I had no idea how to do. We pulled away and I gazed into his eyes. His brown eyes starred at my intently.
"Brittney I really-" He was cut off by Kevin pulling into our driveway. Joe jumped out and raced over to us.
"Hey guys! How was your date?" I blushed and groaned. Nick had a frustrated look on his face.
"Good." I managed to say after a second. Joe laughed.
"Anyways, you forgot something in our car." Joe said. He walked into the car and grabbed a big object and handed it to me. It was my backpack. "I thought you might need it for later." He said.
"Thanks." I said in reply.
"Welcome." Joe said and got into the passenger seat of the car. I turned back to Nick.
"What were you going to say before they came?" I asked. Nick just looked at me and shrugged.
"Oh…I was going to say that…That I really liked the movie." And with that he muttered a bye and jumped into the car. I waved as the pulled out of the driveway, my heart heavy. I thought he was going to say something like 'Brittney I really like you. Do you want to be my girlfriend?' I guess he just didn't feel the same way.
I sighed and walked up to the front porch passing Austin on the way. "Bye Austin." I said.
"Bye." He replied giving me a high-five.
"So, did you kiss?" Jasmine asked me. I knew that I had to fake excitement.
"Yep, and he is a really good kisser! Did you kiss?" I asked her. She grinned at me.
"Yes! Oh my Jonas Austin is so dreamy." She exclaimed opening the front door. We stepped into the house. "I can still remember when he first asked me out." She said dreamily walking into the kitchen. It wasn't that hard to remember, they had only been going out for two weeks. Yet, I felt a pang of jealousy. I had no memory of 'Jerry' asking me out because he never did ask me out. He wasn't even real. He was just some guy we made up so it didn't look weird that I was constantly hanging out with some guy.
I wondered how long I was going to go out with 'Jerry' before anyone found out that I was friends with the Jonas Brothers. I kind of hoped that it was soon because I was getting tired of lying to my mom and sister, and I was getting tired pretending that I had a boyfriend. A boyfriend that I wanted to be real, but it didn't seem as though it would ever happen.
