Rate: T Level: Cute
*Normal POV*
"Five Minutes 'till show time!" Some tech guy yells out. Demi's heart skips a beat as she hears those words, but continues to pace around the room, doing some odd, yet effective, vocal warm-ups.
She walks over to her mirror, staring herself straight in the eye.
"You got this, Demi." She nods to herself, adjusts her jacket and continues to pace the room, when suddenly her long-time boyfriend, and creative director of her tour, Nick Jonas, walks into the room, chuckling at Demi's apparent nervousness.
"Babe, you're practically shaking. Why so nervous?" He says, grabbing her hands and giving them a comforting squeeze.
"I'd tell you if I knew" Demi starts, frustrated. "I was fine all day and then once I got here and saw the stage, I suddenly got really anxious and I don't know why."
"Well, don't worry. I know that this show, it's gonna be fantastic." He says with a wide smile.
"And how do you know that?"
Nick starts to feel nervous himself, with all these questions Demi's asking.
I'm the one asking the questions today, D. God, if only I could tell you now.
"I just do."
"Demi, we need you out here. One minute 'till show time." Yells yet another random tech guy.
"Let's go, babe!" Nick shouts, giving an encouraging smile and a warm hug, along with a quick peck of her lips.
The whole team then gathers around, saying their routine pre-show prayer. The familiar sounds of a beating heart replace the silence, and Demi takes a deep breath.
"Let's do this, bitches."
With a laugh, she scurries off to her spot on the rising platform, and soon, the show of her life is underway.
She gets through the first few songs, belting out notes and beautifully singing ballads. It comes to the part where her special guest joins her on stage. Tonight, it's her incredibly charming, and incredibly handsome boy toy.
"Everyone, please welcome the most incredible guy I know, Nick Jonas!" She shouts with a wide smile, wiping her forehead of its thin layer of sweat.
Nick takes a deep breath, grabs his guitar, and checks his pockets. He feels around until a soft, fuzzy box is in his hands. He pulls it out, opening it, and admiring the jewel. He gulps, anxious to propose to the love of his life, and slides the box back into his pocket.
"You got this, Nick. You love her, and she loves you. Don't worry about it." He reassures himself.
He feels a tap on his shoulder, and turns.
"You're up. Break a leg." Says Demi's friend, Natalie. He nods; knowing the real meaning behind her words.
Natalie, Marissa, Dallas, Eddie & Dianna are the only ones who know about the soon to be engagement. Eddie knows because Nick was being the classic, loving gentleman he is, and asked him for his daughter's hand in marriage. After the father's seal of approval, Nick asked for the help of Natalie, Marissa & Dallas, in search of the perfect engagement ring. Natalie was the one who found the idea of how to propose, while Marissa & Dallas helped find the ring. Dianna found out, well, either because Eddie told her, or because being Dianna, she somehow finds out about everything.
Making his way over to the side stage, he double-checks his pockets once more, before hearing his name being called out by his bride-to-be. He puts on his best brave face, and walks out.
Screams & cries are heard all around, and he makes his way over to his girlfriend. She gives him a big, loving hug, and "aww's" are heard from around the arena.
As he hugs her, he decides to mess with her a bit, and carefully whispers in her ear, away from the mics. "Don't get too sappy on me, okay?" He says with a smirk & a wink.
"Huh?" Demi asks, seriously confused.
Shaking his head, and pulling away to adjust his mic, he whispers to his girlfriend one last time before the music starts up.
"You'll see."
The two slide apart, and begin their heartfelt duet. The crowd happily sings along, chanting every last word like their lives depended on it. For some, their lives may very well depend on it.
The song comes to an end, and Nick takes off his guitar, preparing himself for what's next.
He turns to Demi, mic in hand, and begins.
"Demi, I'd just like to say a few words, if that's okay?"
Confused, she obliges. "Sure."
"D, you have been my best friend ever since I can remember. I still remember the first time I laid eyes on you, and I knew that you were something special. You are the strongest, bravest, most caring person I know, and there's no one on this earth I'd rather share this moment with."
Tears begin to form in Demi's eyes, and Nick just smiles.
"So with that," Nick starts, sliding down to his knees. Demi gasps, covering her mouth with her hand in shock. The tears escape her eyes, cascading down her cheek. The screams are louder than ever before.
"Demetria Devonne Lovato, will you make me the happiest man in the world, and be my wife?" He says, pulling out the diamond encrusted ring from its box.
She giggles, and just stares into his eyes. "Yes, I will marry you." She giggles out, with the biggest, most brilliant smile on her face.
Nick gets up from his knee, slowly placing the gorgeous ring onto her finger, promising their eternal love for each other, forever.
She gasps, taking in the rock on her hand. Nick leans in, pressing a soft kiss to her sweaty temple.
"I love you, D, but I thought I told you not to get all sappy on me." He says, smirking.
"Shut up!" She says, pushing him away playfully, before pulling him back in.
"Oh whatever, I love you, Jonas."
They take in each other's lips once more, for the first time as fiancé and fiancée; soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Jonas.
**A/N: I'm so so sorry that it's been so long! I've been kinda busy as of late :((
