- Keeping Promises: A Nick Jonas One Shot -
- Part 2 of 3 -
Anna entwined her fingers with Nick’s, hiding her joy of the awkward tingles and butterflies in her stomach with an annoyed look. Isabella pushed Nick closer to Anna, and yelled for a slow song while she stepped to the side. Then, Nick moved his hands to her waist, and Anna placed her hands on the back of his neck. They swayed across the floor while the club changed in their eyes.
Everything about the club faded into something different. The people around them seemed to be out of sight. Anna and Nick’s focuses were just on each other. The love song softened, and the blue spotlight on them grew brighter. Suddenly, their throats were dry, and the air wasn’t as thin enough to breath. Their hearts were trying to break their rib cages, and the sensation was spreading around all their skin. The energy of the world around them seemed to die out.
After the song, Anna dropped her hands. Nick picked up his hand from her waist and ran it over hers. She took it, and he pulled her to the back of the club. Without a word, he leaned forward with his hands on her waist again. She leaned forward as well, closing her eyes. They continued until they pressed their lips together.
While their lips were locked, they exchanged sparks and realized they really broke Nick’s promise. Not only did he talk to Anna, but he fell in love with her, and she fell in love with him. He didn’t care anymore. Her soft lips made his mind clear, and his touch made her happy. They ignored a flash, and their lips separated once a minute passed. Their breathing was heavy, but that couldn’t stop the joy.
“Anna, I’m sorry. I was being rude because my parents are always telling me how you sing for money. They say you’re in it for success, but they are wrong. They’re the ones obsessing over the money. If I’ve hurt you in any way, I’m terribly sorry,” Nick apologized.
Anna smiled, “It’s fine. Just promise me that the competing is over, and we’ll be friends no matter what.”
“Just friends?” Nick muttered. He inhaled deeply, “Promise me that you’ll be here for me.”
“I always will be,” she assured.
“I I love you,” Nick whispered honestly.
Anna grinned, “I love you, too.”
During the week, Nick would constantly sneak into Anna’s house through her window for their secret meetings. At night, Anna would sneak into his house through his window. They talked about their passion for music and what they write about. Working together, they wrote new songs about their affection. What they didn’t know was their parents found out already, but they didn’t say a word. This one picture and a clip of the two kissing at the club were plastered on the Celebrity News. Anna and Nick were too occupied with each other to notice.
At noon of Saturday, Anna climbed up Nick’s gutter with a new song to sing to him. His window was already open so she stepped in gingerly. She was startled when his parents came in through the door wearing smirks. Mr. Jonas, Nick’s dad, was holding a gun. Anna’s mind clicked, and she couldn’t believe that Mr. Jonas would kill for Nick’s fame. The new song in her throat was pushed away by fear.
“Are you looking for Nick?” Mr. Jonas asked.
Anna nodded. “W-Where is h-he?” she stuttered.
“He’s at the park, Hon. You can’t see him though,” Mrs. Jonas responded.
“I should go home,” Anna said.
“No,” Mr. Jonas snapped. “You’ve been distracting Nick with his career. You’re ruining his talent, and we won’t make money. Stay away from my son, or you will be killed,” he threatened.
“I will never stay away,” Anna stated firmly.
Once here words were fired, so was the bullet. Mr. Jonas had pulled the trigger without aim. The bullet came close, but Anna felt no pain. Miraculously, he had missed, and thats when she got an idea. Three seconds after the bang, she fell to the ground pretending to die to escape. She listened to them snicker and leave. She got up quietly and left to breath outside.
Minutes later, Nick went back to his house. The first thing he saw when he opened the door were his parents pretending to cry. His face twisted in confusion. His parents looked at him innocently.
“What’s wrong?” Nick questioned.
“Anna is,” his mom hesitated, “dead.”
Nick was shocked, “What? How?”
Mr. Jonas shook his head in shame, “Someone shot her.”
Nick felt as if his heart were sinking in his chest, “You murdered her.”
Mr. Jonas put on a guilty smile, “That’s ridiculous!”
Nick’s voice cracked, “She’s gone?’
His parents nodded, “Forever.”
