It All Started With A Concert [Nick Jonas] 16

It All Started With A Concert

Chapter 16~

I woke up to the sound of Nick murmuring my name.

“Jenny…come on wake up babe.” He said stoking my arms gently.

“Uh, what time is it?” I asked not wanting to open my eyes.

“Eight a.m. that is a reprieve since I got woke up by someone at six.” He said then I heard a giggle.

“It was an accident; I was trying to wake up Jenny.” She said and I opened my eyes to see Shelby trying to look all innocent.

“Good morning sunshine, the earth says hello.” She said giving me a hug, random wake up ritual.

“Did you sleep well?” Nick asked kissing my forehead.

“Yeah did you, you were out like a light.” I said as he played with my fingers.

“So Kevin called…” Shelby said trailing off trying to spark my curiosity.

“Oh snap, I forgot to call Taylor.” I said remembering about her and Joe’s date. I looked up and saw Nick and Shelby looking very confused. “Oh she had a date, I was gonna get the details after.” I said earning a smile and a yes nod from Shelby and a scowl and a no nod from Nick. I ignored Nick and got out of bed, I exited the room without a word to Nick. I went into the kitchen and ate a bagel and then sat on the couch with Shelby.

“So what’s up with you and Nick?” Shelby asked randomly.

“Nothing why?” I asked looking at her.

“You two are either fighting or making up, there is no middle ground anymore.”

“What the heck Shelby, what is that about? I have to go to my best friend slash sister’s freaking funeral today and you want to talk about my relationship with my boyfriend? What is your problem?” I asked getting pretty upset.

“Well, I was just wondering ‘cause you two act like you’re gonna break up.”

“If we were gonna break up don’t you think we would have by now?” I asked thoughts racing through my mind.

“No, you’re probably just throwing the idea around in your head and seriously considering it until you convince yourself that it is for the better and you’ll do it and then regret it and then Nick will take you back should I continue?” She asked with a tone in her voice that got under my skin because I knew she was right. I was doing it right now, but I was not seriously gonna break up with Nick because things get a little hard or inconvenient. Just then I saw Nick come down looking around, but he stopped once our eyes met.

“I’m gonna go make breakfast.” Shelby said getting up and going into the kitchen.

“Good morning, did you call Taylor?” He asked sitting next to me.

“No, why?” I asked.

“Because he finally did it.”

“Did what?” I asked, confusion setting in.

“He finally asked Taylor out.”

“No way! She said yes right?” I asked getting excited.

“Of course she really likes Joe and he likes her too.”

“Oh my gracious, that is so great Nick! Isn’t it great?” I asked before kissing him.

“Yes it’s great now Joe can get off my back about trying to get me to get you to get Taylor to go out with him.”

“Wow that sounded very confusing.” I said laughing.

“It is, especially the way Joe explains it.” He said grabbing my hand. I rested my head on his lap and he played with my hair for a little while until he kissed my temple. “I love you so much beautiful and don’t you ever forget it.”

“I won’t and I love you too handsome, you better not forget that either.” I said sitting up and looking him right in the eyes.

We ate breakfast and got ready and went to the funeral home. After the funeral there was a memorial service since Amber was cremated. We all cried so much, I was so glad Nick was there to hold my hand because I honestly had no idea what I could do if he wasn’t here with me. I was never one who could cope with death and I couldn’t just start now. The next few days were a blur really, we went through Amber’s things and got rid of stuff and assorted her belongings. Their house was sold and it was decided that Tammy would live with us indefinitely. On Saturday morning we set out to go back to L.A. and we were there two days later. Things were good for Taylor and Joe and Nick and I so life was beginning to look a little better and I was taking one day at a time with Nick by my side helping me every step of the way. Kevin also had officially become my older brother, Joe my best guy friend, and of course Nick my boyfriend. It was all gonna be okay.
