Chapter 6
Nicks POV
In his room, Nick sat, strumming absentmindedly on his guitar, until he heard something. It was sweet, yet tart. Emblazoned with passion, yet monotonous. Opening his window, he leaned over, casually perusing the gloomy landscape.
Until he saw her. There she was, strolling along the beach, her face melancholy like her tune. She was singing - a beautiful, enticing sound errupting from her smooth lips. He sang along softly, playing his acoustic to her exquisite melody gently. A perfect harmony in his eyes - a sad, sole melody in hers.
Demi's POV
I dug my feet into the sand, as the sun peeked out wearily from behind the finally translucent clouds. Someone was yelling behind me.
"Demi!"
Turning around, wary, I saw Joe Jonas bounding toward me. Laughing, he hugged me and opened his mouth, poised to speak.
"Haven't talked to you in a while," he panted, and I grinned lightly.
"I dare say you'll see more of me on the tour this summer than you'll ever want to."
He laughed again, and shook his head. "Nah."
"Nick will," I sighed, and then scolded myself silently.
"What do you mean?" Joe inquired, tilting his head.
"Well - I just, I just get this vibe from him that - nevermind."
"No, tell me."
"Well, I was diagnosed with diabetes - "
"Is that what had happened at the DC games? I knew you got sick -" His eyebrows were raised so high, they disappeared under his hair. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I didn't -"
"Didn't what? Trust me?"
"Joe, it's not like that - "
"You know, if anything else life changing happens, be sure to make a note to call me next month." He burst out laughing, and I relaxed. He wasn't mad after all.
"You've gotten too good at acting," I said, shaking my head. Joe grinned.
"Never."
"Always."
"Well, I gotta go, family stuff." Throwing up a peace sign, he strutted back off the beach.
Leaving me staring at Nick's open window, the curtains gently blowing in the breeze.
Nick's POV
Joe. Traitor.
He could see his brother walking back to their house, after just talking with Demi. Anger bubbled inside him, hatred for his own kin -
"Nick, can I come in?"
It was Joe's familiar, always slightly smug tone.
Nick didn't reply.
Joe opened the door, and walked in slowly, eyeing the grey item on Nick's bedside table. "Whats that?"
"Nothing - " Nick slipped it into his pocket slyly.
"Well, did you know Demi had diabetes?" Joe looked ready to start a conversation Nick wasn't ready for.
Not now, he thought miserably. I can't take this.
"Yeah."
"When did she tell you? A few days ago?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, so thats why you've been so melancholy? Cheer up, dude. She's gonna be fine. She's got her meter and all that jazz."
Joe stood, leaivng the room. Nick picked up his paper he'd been scribbling on before the interuption.
Will you ever know, what I feel for you?
I'm helplessly, wandering in those eyes
I see your face, with everything I do
Just one word from you, can make my heart fly
I'm not sure if I like it, not sure if I want it
But I'm sure I'm tired of standing here, holding out
Oh, what you do, to me
Oh I can't pinpoint exactly
How I feel, around you
Only what you feel around me
Is it love if its only one sided?
If its my heart wishing what we might've been, honestly?
Is it a look inside of me?
A wistful, tired of hoping, sole melody?
And I wish that I knew, the other part
Saw what he was thinking,
So I'd know where to start
Oh, if only he could see,
What I can't help but keep on feeling
Would he look past my hurt eyes
And see what lies inside?
Oh, what you do, to me
Oh I can't pinpoint exactly
How I feel, around you
Only what you feel around me
Is it love if its only one sided?
If its my heart wishing what we might've been, honestly?
Is it a look inside of me?
A wistful, tired of hoping, sole melody?
I can't keep waiting, it only tears me down
I'm sick of your painful remarks, that still manage to make my heart flip around........
The song she'd been singing. That beautiful song.
His stare lingered on every word, his heart melting.
Who would she be writing that for?
