Chapter 9
Lying and Crying and Hurting; Oh My
I woke up the next day feeling ever so happy. As I looked outside I saw blue bird sing and….oh god I sound like Cinderella! No that didn’t happen, though I wish it did. Actually I came home a bit late from my date with Nick; which was a BIG mistake. My dad, his drunken usual self, asked where I had been. I of course had to lie; “oh well you see dad I…was…working on a project with Grace”. Whose Grace, he said and I said “oh my bff I’ve had since kindergarten.” This is actually not a lie; she has been my bff since kindergarten, but my dad didn’t really care.
And guess what my precious little father dearest did? Yep, you guessed it I got beat. This beating was probably the worst beating I’ve ever had. No, no I take that back it WAS the worst beating I’ve ever had. It was so bad that my little Rite Aid make- up couldn’t cover all of it up. And guess who came knocking on my front door? No not Nick but Frankie; asking if I wanted to play. In the past week I had become quite close to him. Playing with him when Nick was busy with band things.
“Sure” I replied back. Walking outside to the Jonas’s back yard I didn’t realize how hot and humid it was till now. Wearing my heart covered long sleeve shirt. After about and hour of playing I was sweating like I was in the Sahara desert and I was wearing a snow suit. Ok, ok I wasn’t sweating that bad; but I gotta admit it was HOT!
“Nat, Frankie said, why are you wearing a long-sleeved shirt and its 95 degrees outside?”
“Um, well you see frank I’m cold”. “But it’s 95 degrees outside and I don’t think that’s cold”. “Well I do soletsgoinsideandgetsomelemonade” I said very quickly.
“Ok” he replied. It’s a good thing he was only seven and would basically fall for anything. We went inside and I opened up the fridge to get the pitcher of lemonade. We sat and drank our lemonade in quiet only to talk if Frankie asked a random question. As I was cleaning the glasses and putting them in the cupboard Nick, Joe, Kevin, and Mr. Jonas came in. Mr. Jonas went up stairs and said he had some business call to make. Leaving me and the Jonas boys alone.” Well look who came for a visit; oh but wait you just wanna see Nick don’t you” joked Joe thinking the joke he made was sooo funny! “Ha-ha, I just came to play with Frank the tank here I said gently ruffling his hair. “So you really didn’t wanna see me” Nick fake cried poking his lip out. “Well, I simply stated walking towards Nick putting my right hand on his cheek, yeah sorry, but it’s not working out…I gotta go my own way”. Slowly inching forward to Nick’s face, I was interrupted by a certain Kevin Jonas.
“Oh goodness Natalie, if your gonna cite songs do a Camp Rock one at least said Kevin breaking the moment me and Nick’s lips were about to collide. “Well if your gonna be that way me and Nick will be outside”. We went outside and sat on the patio. Nick soon noticed my long sleeves and questioned my wardrobe. “I sometimes get chills, and this is how I get rid of them.” Oh that was a stupid lie! “Natalie, tell me the truth I know you’re lying. I may not have known you that long but I can read straight through your lies!
