Missing Song (Nelena) | Book 1

Nick

I had a phone call telling me that I needed to rehearse the song for the VMAs tomorrow and I don't know what to tell them dealing with the fact that I don't know which song I'm supposed to perform. 

I performed nearly all of them... although Phil did bring up an idea; he said I should perform one of the Jonas Brothers' songs- but I said no. Joe and Kevin will be super pissed- Breaking up the band and now using our songs to gain fame? I'm sure that's what they'd think.

I grabbed the guitar and made my way over to the couch and made myself comfy. This was going to be a long day...

I strummed a few notes on the guitar, but none of them felt right. 

I sat there for a few hours, did some really cool things I never knew was possible- I meant on the guitar. I guessed the chords to Joe's song Cake by the Ocean... By now, I don't know what else to do. I decided to text Joe and see what he was up to-

~~~ Text ~~~

Hey Joe, how's ur day?

I'm doin good, bro. How're you? 

Everything's amazing, I lied      

Why'd you text?

I just wanted to see how you were doing, man.

If so- I'm good.

What're gonna perform at the VMAs this Saturday? 

I didn't get an award this year Nick

DNCE is a little slow on selling the tickets too

Aww, sorry bro

I'm sure you'll get an award for that new song you sowed me last week? What was it? Toothbrush?

Oh we'll see Nick, would never beat ur 'I still get Jealous'

It's only jealous, not the 'I still get Jealous'

Sure sure

Anyway- gtg bro, ttyl

Yea you too!

~~~End~~~

I threw the phone beside me. Joe always made anyone's day better. I smiled to myself and looked up at the ceiling. It's been a while since I've had any fun- okay I admit it's been a year since I've had any real fun. 

Since Olivia broke up with me, I think I've been more dedicated to my music and that drove my friends and family away from me. Every time Joe or Phil calls me out to have a little dinner or lunch, I would always refuse for some meeting or interview. I really hope it doesn't ruin my life.

Now that I think of it, I really wanna try going out and having fun. But I can't. Because I have to find a song to perform so they can prepare the band for Saturday night! I really wanted to know what was going on with Sel, so I decided to call her.

I dialed her number and inhaled, waiting for her to pick up.

'Hello?' I exhale sharply, right into the phone. 

'Sorry, hey.' I was nervous, yet I don't know why.  

'Why'd you call? Are you okay?' she was doing something on the other end.

'What are you doing?' I asked, concerned for her.

She laughed, 'what d'you think I'm doing, Nicholas? I'm looking for my grandma's old sock!'

I laughed, 'Of course you were, why'd I even ask. What for?' I said, turning all serious once again- which made her laugh.

'I always thought that I was the funny one! And yet- here you are, making me laugh my butt out!' She laughed once again. I was pleased with myself- I think I just impressed someone... What did I just say?

'Anyways, I need you.' I felt her inhale sharply- 

'W-what?' she said, asking me to repeat myself. I think I get what she was thinking- by 'I need you', she thought the different thing... she thinks that I WANT her. Which is sorta true- but no. Why'd I say that? There is something seriously wrong with me.

 'Can you come over I need your help.' she exhaled and I felt her smile on the other end- 'Of course, I'll be there in 5, Nicholas.'

She used my full name. It took me back to the old times where she would be called me Nicholas, just that she did it every time she wanted something- but normally, she just calls me Nick.

We said bye and she hung up.

Sorry, short one.
