Chapter 17: Maybe It's Time, Maybe It's Not.

(Danielle's POV)

I sighed and looked up at my boyfriend. "Kind," As the word slipped up I found myself avoiding eye contact, I had to, I didn't want to look at him.

"Dani, do you think it's a good idea?" He asked softly.

"Yeah, Kev, I do. We've been together for two years. We'd have to tell people eventually." I snapped and he remained silent which slightly offended me. "Do you not want to tell people that the Kevin Lucas is dating a regular everyday girl? Someone who has no talent!"

"You have talent, Danielle. And no I am not embrassed by you. I just don't want to loose you." His last sentence came in a whisper.

My face softened as I realized he was serious. "You won't loose me," He looked away as I stared at him. "you have to know that."

"How can I?" He whispered. He had his hair straightened (a/n: hehe I like his hair straight) today and it fell in his eyes, completely shielding his face from me as his head was turned.

"Because, everyday you're dating a new girl according to the world and everyday I just smile and pretend not to care. Why? Because I love you Kevin Percy (isn't that his middle Name in Jonas LA?) Lucas, and I know you love me too and nothing will ever change that." He turned toward me and kissed me softly.

When we pulled away he smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "I'll think about it," He promised.

"That's all I ask." I smiled and hugged him tightly.

(Nikki's POV)

"When are the guys performing?" I yelled over Taylor Swift's performance.

Yup that's right it's New Years eve.

"I think in like twenty minutes," Chloe screamed back causing us to both giggle for no apparent reason.

Twenty minutes later the guys finally stepped on stage.

"There's not a girl here who won't go crazy for the these three brothers, so let's hear you scream!" Ryan said. Thousands of screams mixed with ours sounded as we cheered for JONAS.

"Well guys they want you not me," Ryan fake pouted. "Anyway give it up for JONAS!"

With a smile and a flip of the hair, accompanied by thousands of screams, Joe stepped up to the mic.

"Happy New Years Eve!" They yelled into the mics in unison. Girls all around us, as did we, screamed in response.

The band began playing, followed by Kevin, and finally Nick joined in. Joe searched the crowd with his until he found us. Dead center first row, not giving a shit if it was only 4 degrees outside. He locked eyes with Chloe before pulling the mic closer.

Eyes still locked on Chloe the music changed slightly and he sang: "Run run like you do; I'm chasing you I'm on you're..." (pushing me away). Chloe squealed as it was her favorite song and joined in with me and Dani as we sang and danced along. The guys did amazing singing: Pushin Me Away, Give Love a try and Keep It Real.

After they were done they met us in the VIP room which was on the 8th floor of a building with a perfect view of the performers.

"Hey baby," Nick said walking up to me hot chocolate in hand. "Can I talk to you alone?" I noticed something in his voice, something rarely, if ever, seen on Nick Lucas in anyway shape or form. He was nervous.

Upon this discovery I cast a wary glance to the couch where Joe, Chloe, Kevin and Danielle sat.

Joe saw my look and smiled softly. "Go you'll be fine," My best guy friend reassured me. "He may be a workaholic and way too serious but he doesn't bite."

I giggled before taking Nick's hand. He sat his hot chocolate down and began leading me away. As he led us farther into the back, away from everyone else butterflies grew in my stomach.

He finally stopped and faced me. Gently he held my hands in his as he looked me in the eye.

"Listen Nikki, this isn't easy for me to say..." He trailed off. Oh God! Is he breaking up with me? "I've barely known you for more then five months, but I can't help the way you make me feel." He trailed off yet again as I became confused. "You know what, now's a bad time...Let's go sit back down."

"Nick," I said grabbing his hand and pulling him back. "It's obvious you have something to say to me so for the love of God just say it already!"

"I love you,"

"See! Now was that so hard?...Wait what?"

He smiled softly and cupped my cheeks in his warm hands. "Nicole Abigail Evans I'm in love with you."

Tears welled up in my eyes as he stared into them. "Oh my god Nick," I gasped as smile spreading across my face. "I love you too!"

A smile, another rare sight, spread across his face as he picked me up and spun me around.

An hour later and the guys had to go back out for the ball dropping portion of the show.

"Are we staying up here like last year?" Dani asked Chloe.

Nick and I agreed since it's tradition to kiss at midnight and it was known by now he had a girlfriend I would go down with him.

"No," Kevin spoke up.

"We're all going down," Joe smiled.

Chloe and Dani smiled as the guys pulled them up from the couch.

"So Nick, is this your girlfriend you told the paparazzi about last week?" Ryan asked, leave it to him to get an interview in. Well we did have fifteen minutes.

Nick smiled and nodded before kissing my cheek causing me to giggle.

"Joe and Kevin, are these lovely ladies your girlfriends?"

Dani smiled as Kevin wrapped his arms around her tightly, kissing her forehead. Joe on the other hand pulled Chloe to him and kissed her softly.

"Well that's one way to answer," Ryan laughed. "We've got ten minutes, what are your names girls?"

I looked at Nick who nodded. "I'm Nicole," I spoke into the mic and smiled at the camera.

"How old are you sweetie?"

"Almost seventeen,"

He nodded and turned to the other two. "What about you?"

"I'm Chloe and I'll be 17 in July," Chloe smiled brightly.

"and I'm Danielle, and I'll be 18 in May," '

"Well boys," Ryan smiled. "It appears you have some amazing girls, hold onto em."

Nick and I now stood next to each other his arm around my shoulder. I looked up at him. "They are pretty amazing," He smiled causing me to blush.

"60." The crowd began counting down and we all joined in.

"59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54,53, 52, 51..."

"I love you," I whispered to Nick.

"40, 39, 38, 37, 36, 35,34, 33, 32, 31..."

"I love you too,"

"19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Confetti flew everywhere but I barely noticed as Nick wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me close. "Happy new year baby," He whispered his lips brushing mine. Than we shared our first kiss of the New Year and our first kiss since we said 'I love you'.

Nothing could ruin this year.

At least that's what I thought...
