Not me Not I
Sommer lay on her bed, the hot breeze blowing through her open window, moving the sheer curtains lightly. Her long dark curly hair lay fanned out on her pillow behind her, as a light sheen of sweat glistened on her tanned skin. Tears seeped from under her closed lids, running silently down her face to pool on the pillow, creating a damp patch on the otherwise white background. Wiping the tears with her hands, Sommer covered her face as her sobs caught in her throat and her body convulsed with hurt and anger. The hurt was a physical pain that racked her body tearing at her heart leaving it in shreds, broken and bleeding. Rolling onto her side, Sommer pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them burying her head in her knees as she sobbed. She couldn’t do this, not anymore. The pain was too much, it was with her everyday and she was tired of pretending that everything was alright when her world was crashing down around her.
The opening bars of SOS rang out in her otherwise silent room…Ugh it was Nick again…she had been avoiding him for the past week and she could see his face now as she thought about the panic that would currently be running through his body. He couldn’t reach his best friend and he would be scared for her.
Nick paced up and down the aisle of the tour bus, running his hands through his curly hair as he held his phone to this ear
“Ugh come on Sommer pick up” Nick groaned
Where the hell was she…he had been calling her, texting her, e-mailing her for the past week and he hadn’t been able to get hold of her…He was starting to panic…he was scared for her…that boyfriend of hers scared him…he didn’t trust him at all
“You okay Nick?” Joe asked as Nick jumped 6ft in the air as Joe broke through his thoughts
“Ummm yeah” Nick said with a shake of his head as Joe raised his eyebrows at his younger brother
“Ok no not really” Nick said as he sank down into the couch and put his head in his hands
“What’s up” Joe asked softly sitting down next to him motioning for Kevin to turn the tv down and come join them
“It’s Sommer…I can’t get a hold of her…I haven’t heard from her in a week…and I’m really starting to worry” Nick said as he looked up at Joe
“I’m sure she’s fine Nick…she is probably just getting ready for a show or something…you know how she is…dancing 20 hours a day” Joe suggested
“No…you know even if she has a show we still talk or e-mail or text…I have heard nothing in 7 days Joe…I’m really worried…In the 7 years I have known her we have never gone a day without some contact…she’s my best friend we always…” Nick trailed off
“What do you think is up?” Kevin asked
“It’s him…it’s got to be…he’s bad news and she just can’t see it” Nick said with a shake of his head “If he has hurt her in any way…I’ll…I’ll” Nick fumed
“Sounds more like jealously little bro….when are you going to admit that you love her” Joe said with a shake of his head
“What would you know Joe…this is not about that ok…I am seriously worried…he has done something to her…I know he has” Nick spat as he jumped off the couch and paced the small room
“Whoa Nick, that was uncalled for man” Kevin said seriously
“Yeah, Joe man I’m sorry…you’re right I love her…more than I can put into words and right now I am scared *CENSORED*less…I don’t know what is going on and I am so far away…and not only can’t I get hold of her…I have rung her brother 5 times and have heard nothing from him either” Nick said as he ran his hand over his forehead
“Ok, listen Nick…we have a 2 day break…” Kevin began as Nick’s phone rang
Nick pounced on his phone and looked at the caller id…Sommer’s brother
“Hey Noah, where’s Sommer?” Nick asked as he picked up the phone
“Hi Nick…sorry I didn’t get back to you…I was trying to solve it on my own but I can’t…I need you man” Noah said quickly into the phone
“What? What’s wrong? Is Sommer ok? Where is she” Nick said in a panic his voice high and rushed
Joe and Kevin leaned forward on the couch to listen to Nick’s side of the conversation
“No Nick, she’s not ok…I don’t know what is wrong…She won’t talk to me…she won’t come out of her room…she hasn’t danced in a week” Noah explained
“What?” Nick yelled “She hasn’t danced in a week…what the hell is going on?” Nick yelled
“I don’t know Nick…I just don’t know what to do…she’s not eating and all she is doing is crying” Noah said fear evident in his voice
“Ok I’m coming…I will get dropped off at the nearest airport and I will be there as soon as I can” Nick said quickly
“Thanks Nick” Noah smiled
“Sure” Nick said as he hung up his phone and turned to his brother, tears glistening in his eyes
“What’s wrong?” Joe asked panic evident in his voice…Sommer was the little sister he never had…she was important to the Jonas family
“I don’t know…Sommer won’t come out of her room…she won’t eat and more importantly she won’t dance” Nick said as his brother’s looked at him in amazement
“I know… I am going to pack a bag…I going to her…Can you please let Mike know that I need to be dropped off at the nearest airport and can you get mum and dad...I need to talk to them” Nick said as he walked into the other room to pack his bag
“Crap” Joe said with a look at Kevin
“Come on let’s pack a bag…we are not letting him go on his own” Kevin said as he got up off the couch
