Missing Song (Nelena) | Book 1

Nick

I stared at her eating, mesmerized. She glanced up at me between her polite chews every now and then. The fifth time she looked up and caught me staring she giggled and said- 'What!?'

'Nothing,' I replied, looking back down at my food. I didn't touch my plate, due to the fact that my stomach hurt. 'No, answer me.' said Selena, touching my hand. 'You weren't eating since we got here- is it the stomach?' 

I gave her a small smile and a nod. 'Oh.' She put down her fork and said, 'You wanna go see a doctor?' I shook my head, 'No, Sel, I'm perfectly fine, go back to your food.' 

She shook her head stubbornly, 'I'm not eating when my date just got punched in the stomach and isn't saying anything.' I gave a small chuckle, she seemed to really care about me. I remembered the time back in 2009 when I hurt her...

*Flashback*

Miley kissed me. My eyes opened in shock- we were just flirting and now she's... She's kissing me. Well- it wasn't just a kiss, it got pretty heated and sorta turned into a makeout session. I knew Miley liked me- from the beginning. 

I pulled away and said; 'I want us to start in a different way, Miley. I can't break the Promise ring just yet-'

She looked away, and pouted, 'Us?' I smiled and nodded. I was with Selena, and by now I know who I wanted more- Miley. I kissed Miley lightly on the cheek and muttered a small goodbye and ran to my car.   

I dialed Selena's number-

'Hello, Nicholas!' her innocent voice stayed in my head and I felt sorry. I didn't want to hurt her, I decided to lie. 'Listen, Sel- '

'If you're calling about the suit for the Grammys- it's set on the bed.' She had no idea what was coming- but I still have to do it, avoiding the other option; Cheating.

'Selena, I'm so sorry.' I paused, I could feel her tearing up on the other end. 'I can't do this anymore. You're an amazing person and I don't want to hurt you. I'm so sorry, Sel, please can we just be friends?'

'It's okay, Nicholas-' her voice cracked and she clearly wanted to hide it- 'FINE! If you just want to do that- why don't we stay out of each other's lives FOREVER!? Don't even contact me- I can't believe you're doing this to me...' 

I realized my eyes were watering- I stayed silent because I didn't want to hurt her even more...

'Just know, Nick- you're a coward. I have no respect for guys that break up with girls over the phone!' she hung up. I slammed my phone onto the steering wheel. My eyes welled up and poured down my face.

*Flashback-end* 

Selena

'Nick?' he seemed to be dosed off over something- he jerked his head up and looked at me- 'What?' I waved and laughed. I was just messing with him, he gave me a small smile and looked back down. 

I thought about how cute he was. Especially when he blushed. 

'Are you okay, Nick?' I said, unexpectantly. He nodded and picked up his fork and began eating at a small pace. I laughed. 'You're a devil, Jonas! Trying to make my mouth water, eh? Well, tell you what, it's not working!'

'Oh I wasn't trying to do that- but thanks for the idea-' he began eating slowly and chewing very dramatically. I had a feeling he was going to embarrass himself.

He gave me a ride home because I was way too tired and full to talk. I was in the car, sitting silently and staring straight at the road. Am I doing the right thing?  I asked myself. 

Nick noticed I was being quiet and put his hand over mine. I smiled to myself. Nicholas Jonas. Soft, caring, and polite Nicholas was back. I remembered when we dated back in 2009 and 2010, he was so caring and was just like a small Disney boy.

Now, he had songs out like 'Jealous' and 'Chains'- They were big-boy songs, the songs that the boy I dated back in 2009- Nicholas- would never write. But I was happy for him, of course. He reached his level of matureness and hotness- sorry what?

I pulled my hand from under Nick's and looked out the window. He scratched his neck, possibly thinking he did something wrong. In truth, I was trying to hide a blush. I was blushing, saying the words 'his hotness'.

We reached my driveway and he got around, jogged to my door, and opened it for me.

'Such a gentleman-' I carefully got out of the car. Paparazzi were everywhere snapping pictures of us. They were shouting out weird questions-

'Are you two dating again!?'

'So the rumors are true??'

'No, way! He broke up with you on the phone though, Selena!'

Nick pulled me out of the car and led me to the front door. He was going to leave but I grabbed his hand and led him in. I don't think he would've been able to deal with paparazzi alone. 

I lead him to the couch and sat him down, pushing him by the shoulders.

I walked out the door and decided to set the records straight- 'Alright paps! You want the full truth?' They all nodded, still snapping pictures. 'SO the last time you all saw Nick Jonas holding my hand into some store- it was not because we were meeting up.'

More cameras snapped pictures, I don't even know why they have to take about a million.

'It was because he wanted to take me away from your prying questions!' I laughed to myself. 'Now see? Not everything you read online is true, people!'

I turned my heel, ignoring the questions that were being shouted from outside. Security escorted them outside and I went into the living room, seeing Nick in the exact position I left him. I laughed at the thought of him, not wanting to move into my property.  

Nick

I decided to sit still while Selena decided to go out in the sea of paparazzi. She came back in and stood in front of me, hands on her hips. I smiled, grinning at her nervously. Was she mad at me for pushing her out of the car earlier? 

'Hi?' I said, waving my hand at her. She suddenly laughed and fell on me. She was tickling me alright- I decided to do it back. I knew perfectly well where her tickle spot was- I found out when we were lying on the floor of my bedroom back in 2010, playing around and tickling each other.   

She was laughing hysterically by the time we were laying on the floor breathless.      

'You still remember my tickle spot!?' She said, sitting up, leaving me lying on the floor, by myself.

'Of course! We used to always tickle each other after filming... the directors thought it was cute.' I smiled at the memories from 2010.

We stood up and I brush myself off, she did the same. I picked a piece of thread from her hair and laughed, 'Wow- what's this?' She picked it off of my finger and blew it at my face. It missed completely and she laughed.

'I should go-' Sel smiled and said, 'This lunch date is missing something in particular-' She tapped her lips with her fingers and giggled. I pouted, 'You said you don't kiss on first dates!' She laughed and said, 'Nicholas, this isn't the first date! We dated practically three times now!' 

I gave her a small kiss on the lips and smiled, 'Thanks, Sel. It gets pretty lonely these days.'

I made my way to my car and Selena was standing at the door, waving at me.
