A forgotten Love [nick jonas continued] Chapter 19

“You're my what?”

“Your whitelighter.” repeated Nick.

I could not believe what he was telling me, “How?”

He shook his head, “I don't really know myself. But those elders came to me one day and said that I had to become your whitelighter in order to marry you.”

“What?”

How could they do this? They had no right.

“I know. But I talked to your dad about it and he's been helping me out.”

I shook my head, “Wait a second. I thought Alex was my whitelighter.”

“Not since she got married.”

I stared at him for a few moments. “No. They can't do this.” I stood up and packed up all the wedding stuff. I told Victoria that we would pick it all up again tomorrow and she left.

“What are you doing?”

“I'm going to talk to the elders. They have no right turning you into a whitelighter just because you want to marry me.”

So I quickly went up the stairs and sent for the elders. The next thing I knew I was standing in front of them, “Yes Melinda?”

“You have no right turning my fiancee into a whitelighter!”

“But Melinda, as a witch, you need someone to look after you at all times.”

“I have Alex.”

“You had Alex. She is now married and has kids of her own. She will be too worried about her own family to be working with you.” one of them explained.

“So you turn my fiancee into one?”

“It was the best solution.”

I shook my head, “No it's not. I don't want my fiancee to be a whitelighter!”

They simply shrugged, “I'm sorry Melinda, but it's too late. What's done is done and there is nothing you can do.”

“Is there any you can return him to being mortal?”

“If you not marry him,” they stated simply.

My whole world stopped for a few moments. I loved Nick. I needed him. There was no way I wasn't going to marry him, “That's it? There's no other way?”

They shrugged, “Until we know that he will truly take care of you. He will remain your whitelighter.. that way he will have no choice but to look after you.”

I was so mad. But just as I opened my mouth, I realized that I was back in my living room. “Urgh!”

“What happened?” asked Nick.

“Those damn elders! Yeah I know you can hear me!” I shouted. I sighed and looked at him, “The only reason they turned you into a whitelighter is because they don't think you'll be able to take care of me on your own. This way you'll be forced to watch over me.”

“What? How can they think that? I love you.”

I nodded, “I know. I know baby. I know you love me. But they don't understand.”

He sighed, “So what now?”

I shrugged, “I don't know. But I don't feel like being here anymore. Can we go for a drive?”

“Sure.” I turned to leave, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back, planting a firm kiss on my lips, “I love you.”

I smiled, “I love you too.” So we grabbed the keys and made our way out to the car, so we could just get away.

Vanessa's POV:

“He's a what?!”

“He's now Melinda's whitelighter.”

I was so confused, “But I thought Alex was her whitelighter.”

“She was.. but not since she and Joe got married. So now Nick is Mel's whitelighter.”

“Oh my Gosh..”

I started pacing, this was all too much for me. I had a wedding in less than a month and now I found out that Nick was now a whitelighter.

“I just don't understand.”

“Look, let's not worry about it okay? We have a wedding to plan.” he said, grabbing my arms and hold me in place, to look into his eyes.

I sighed and nodded, giving him a small smile, “You're right.”

So we spent a good portion of the day getting a good portion of our list done. Our wedding was set for last weekend in November, which was about 3-4 weeks away. I was incredibly excited to be getting married, but at the same time I knew that when the date came nearer I would become nervous. So I tried not to think about the nerves. I just tried to think about my life with Kevin and thinking about that made me smile.

While Kevin and I were working on some small details we got a phone call, “Hello.”

“Ness.. It's Joe!”

“Hey Joe. What's up?”

“Uhm, you and Kevin should get to the hospital right now. Nick and Melinda were in an accident.”
