Chapter 2
“I could say that I don’t care. But the truth is I’d follow you anywhere.”
I walked back into my room rushing around trying desperately to find something to wear. Should I try to impress him or should I just wear what I normally wear I thought. Then it hit me I should call my best friend, she would know what to do. I flipped open my sidekick and dialed in the 7 digits.
“Alissa, hey could you come over and help me get ready for dinner at the Jonas’ house?” I asked her pleading her.
“Ha, yes of course. Be there in 10.” She said as she hung up the phone.
I stepped into the shower and turned the knob so that the scolding water poured out of the silver faucet. It hit my naked body and sent warmth running through my body. I washed my body quickly and lathered my hair with shampoo. I looked down at my pale skin and saw the scars, saw my past haunting me, telling me to do it again. I thought nothing of it and stepped out of the shower. I threw on some boy’s basketball shorts and a wife beater as I brushed my long brown hair and sprayed some heat damage control spray on it. I walked downstairs and turned the TV on when I heard the door open and saw Alissa walk in. I ran up to her and practically tackled her down to the ground and she giggled.
“Come on then! Let’s go get you ready!” she said as she ran up my stairs and into my room. By the time I reached my room she was already rummaging through my closet trying to find something for me to wear. “How about this?” she said holding up a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, a white and yellow stripped baby doll style tank top and a gray vest to go over it along with a pair of white ballet flats.
“Perfect.” I said as I grabbed the clothes from her hands and started to change into them.
“Wow, you are already looking HOT!” she said as she giggled and shooed me into the bathroom. I saw that there was already a curling iron plugged in and makeup spread across the countertop.
“I was thinking maybe just loose curls and natural makeup.” She said raising her eyebrow at me.
“Sounds good!” I said enthusiastically. She started on my hair, curling it piece by piece. Then she put on some foundation and purple eyeliner and mascara along with some light brown eyeshadow that made my deep brown eyes pop. She finally turned me around so that I could face the mirror, I looked at myself. I looked halfway decent, and smiled.
“Wow.” Is all I could come up with.
“You look gorgeous Ames.” She said as she smiled at her awesome work she had done. “Now go! Or you will be late!” she said as she practically pushed me down the stairs and out the door. “I will wait here for you while you are gone.” She said and I just nodded turning around making my way to the Jonas house. I was shaking as I stepped onto their porch. I turned the doorknob and opened the door as it creaked a little bit and I stepped onto the hardwood floor.
“I am here Mrs. Jonas.” I said as I saw Frankie bolting towards me, greeting me with a hug so big that I almost fell onto the floor.
“Great! Do you want to go up to Nick’s room and talk to him, he needs to tell you something.” She said sadly.
“Okay, I’ll just go on up.” I said as I walked up the stairs. I turned the corner and almost ran into Joe who seemed a little chaotic as always. He mumbled hi to me under his breath as he kept walking past me. I stopped to think of why Joe would be acting like that but I almost instantly continued walked towards Nick’s door. I stopped in front of it and I pressed my ear against the wood to listen and see if he was busy. I heard the strumming of a guitar and Nick softly singing song lyrics.
The buttons on my phone are worn thin
I don't think that I knew the chaos I was getting in.
But I've broken all my promises to you
I've broken all my promises to you.
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
A phrasing that's a single tear,
Is harder than I ever feared
And you were left feeling so alone.
Because these days aren't easy
Like they have been once before
These days aren't easy anymore.
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me.
I should have known this wasn't real
And fought it off and fought to feel
What matters most? Everything
That you feel while listening to every word that I sing.
I promise you I will bring you home
I will bring you home.
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me.

I sighed, he was so perfect but so broken. Truth is I missed every single thing I had with him before, each day it hurt me even more. I knocked 3 times on his door like I always did and heard him say come in to me under his breath. I walked in and saw Nick sitting on his bed, his eyes bloodshot red with tears running down his face. I rushed over to him as he put his guitar down.
“Nick, what is wrong?” I said as I started to rub his back making him shiver.
“Sh-sh-she g-g-ot in a c-c-car accident.” He said stuttering on his own words
“What? Is she okay?” I said, knowing that he was talking about his girlfriend.
“She is dead. She d-d-died on impact.” He said and turned and buried his face into my shoulder and started sobbing as his body started to shake. I shushed him and held him close and tight. He looked up and into my eyes.
“Amy, I don’t know what to do. I miss her so much already.” He said as he parted from my hug and looked away and then back towards me.
“I am sorry Nicholas. I wish that she had made it.” I said as I tried to make him feel better.
“I guess it was for the better. I have now figured things out. I know what I want and I realize that things were standing in the way.” He said as looked into my eyes that were already tearing up because of seeing him in so much pain. He suddenly pressed his lips to mine and instantly deepened the kiss.
