ALICIA ~ I used to be best friends with the Jonas Brothers. I had a massive crush on Nick. But when they got famous 2 years ago, they left, without a word. She couldn’t stop thinking about Nick and them, wondering if they remembered her. In the first half year, Joe and Kevin called a lot, but then, they stopped.
JENNA ~ I’m in love with Joe Jonas. (She doesn’t know about my little past with them.) I want to one day meet them in person and fall in love with Joe.
NICK ~ I’m in love with Alicia. I can’t stop thinking about her and the day we left. I wish I told her how I felt about her. I really miss her beautiful eyes, smile and how happy she always was. I couldn’t get the courage up to call her up, I was afraid she would be talking about other guys.
JOE ~ I know Nick is still in love with Alicia. But I don’t know how to help.
KEVIN ~ I also know that Nick is still in love with Alicia. She’s great, so I approve. So does Mom and Dad. But I wish I could help them get together.
With ALICIA ~
“OH MY GOD! Guess what Lish!!” Jenna my best friend said, squealed.
“What?! Calm down, breathe. In. Out. Good. Now tell me.” I instructed, growing excited.
“I GOT TICKETS TO THE JONAS BROTHERS CONCERT!”
“Oh. Great.” I said, disappointed.
“Why don’t you like them?” she said with a frown.
“They… don’t seem… real. Like Miley I guess.” I lie, careful not to tell her about my past.
“They are SO different from Miley.” She said with disgust.
“Whatever. I’m not going.”
“Who said I was going to ask you?” she said with a smirk. “Maybe I’m going with Jake.” She said referring to the senior football god in our school.
“Are you?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Sadly, no. But I’m forcing you to go. I don’t care what you say.”
“Fine…” I reluctantly said, remembering the number of times she annoyed me into saying yes. Jenna will bug me and my answer ‘no’ until she gets the answer she wants, a ‘yes’.
“Yay!” she said triumphantly.
With NICK ~
“Dude, you’ve been looking at that picture for over an hour!” Joe exclaimed at me. I quickly put it away and said
“So? I miss her. Why didn’t I stay in touch?” I said the last question, mostly to myself.
“Because you didn’t have the nerve.” Joe simply stated.
“Yeah, but I wish I did though.” I sigh. Now are you asking who this ‘her’ is? Well, she was my best friend, and the girl I loved since I was 13. Her name is Alicia. Isn’t that such a pretty name? Ugh, I need to finally talk to her. But I can’t get my nerve up to talk to her. I guess I was really afraid that if I called her, she would talk about the guys at her school, or even worse, talk about her boyfriend.
Well, we’re going to Wyckoff this week. Maybe Alicia will be there.
Back to ALICIA ~
“Why am I doing this again?”
“Cause you love me!”
“Right…” I groan, while walking over to my full length mirror. I’m wearing ripped jeans, a brown swishy, kind of party-ish tank top, and brown sequined flats. Jenna’s attire consists of ripped jeans, silver flats and a tank top that says ‘I love DJ Danger’ on the front, and on the back said ‘Nick is my sexilicious lover.’ She said that it’s for me apparently. Whatever.
Jenna says that I’m in ‘denial’ that I’m ‘in love’ with Nick. No, she doesn’t know about my past with them. I don’t intend to tell her either. With the teensy fact that she’s in love with the Jonas Brothers. And the teensy fact that I was lying when I told her that her theory of and Nick and me is bogus. Quite the opposite actually.
At the concert with NICK ~
“5 minutes till the meet and greet!” Dad says to us. I can’t stop thinking about her, ALICIA.
The concert tonight is at Wyckoff Stadium. Something we’ve always dreamed about since we became famous. I hope she’s here tonight. I think as we head to the meet and greet table.
Meet and greet with ALICIA ~
“Come on! It’s almost our turn!” Jenna said, pulling me along.
“Coming…” I said dully. But inside, I keep wondering if they would recognize me.
“Three people away!!!” Jenna squeals, starstruck. When it’s our turn, Jenna goes first. She gives them all high fives then waits for me.
When I shake Kevin’s hand, he smiles. “Alicia?”
“Shhh! Kevin! Don’t tell anyone please. I want to see if Nick will recognize me.”
“Don’t worry.” He said, giving me a hug.
Then I go over to Joe. I open my mouth to say something, but he envelopes me in a big bear hug. “Missed you Lish.”
“I missed you too DJ Danger.” Using the nickname I made for him. He gives me a kiss on the top of my head quickly. I hear all the girls behind me saying things like ‘OH MY GOD! HE KISSED HER!’ I chuckled. “This is going to be all over the news this month.”
“Yeah. But you’re my best friend, so I don’t care.”
“Love you Joe.”
At last, I make my way over to Nick. He opens his arms with a polite smile. He doesn’t remember who I am. I gratefully wrap my arms around his torso. I feel a familiar spark go through my body. My candle of love for this boy, was reignited with an extreme power. That’s cheesy I know.
Meet and Greet with NICK ~
I see this absolutely gorgeous girl come up after her starstruck friend. “Hi, I’m Nick.” I said to her.
“I'm Jennifer, but you can call me Jenna! I love you soo much! But not more than my friend, that, in denial though.” She rambles on, while jabbing our newest CD into my chest.
I look over to Kevin, and I see that the girl and him are talking. Then, he gives her a hug. When she walks over to Joe, she opens her mouth to say something, but he gives her a bear hug before she could say anything. He said something and she replied with a smile and some words I couldn’t make out.
Then it was finally my turn. I opened my arms with a warm smile, totally different from the one I gave her friend, Jenna. When she practically charged into my arms, I felt this spark go down my spine. Wow. It was like this familiar thing go off in my body. But I don’t know what it is. And she looked, so familiar, someone beautiful in my life. I don’t know.
Concert with ALICIA ~
We were sitting pretty close, in the middle. After their some ‘Hold On’ Nick had a speech to say, but apparently, it wasn’t anything rehearsed.
“What’s up guys, I’m Nick,” everyone, including me cheered. “I have a special announcement. There’s this girl, that I’ve known since I was 11. Her name is Alicia. How many people here’s name is Alicia?” a number of people, including mine’s hands were raised. But I thought he was talking about me… “Well, I have a song to sing, it’s not one of ours, and it’s sang by a girl, but who cares. Me and this girl, Alicia, we were best friends, but I always liked her, but I was afraid. We stayed up all night taking on the phone and everything.
"I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should've let you go
I didn't know nothing”
When he sang that, it brought me one of my most hurtful flashbacks.
“Nick, I think I’m in love with you.”
“uhh, Why would you be?”
“Cause you’re my best friend, and I’ve seen you hurt, sad, excited, happy and in love. But I want to be that girl. All those girls, aren’t good enough for you.”
“Well… I have to go.” And Nick ran away.
“I was stupid
I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn't have fathomed that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself”
“Lish, I think I love you now.”
“I’m sorry, Nick. But… I have a boyfriend. You know, Josh?”
“oh… okay.” And he walked away.
“'Guess I didn't know you
'Guess I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't
Hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
'Cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right here, 'cause baby”
“Hey, Lish, can I show you something?”
“Sure, Nick.”
He brought me outside, to a blanket on the beach.
“What are we doing here?”
“Come here, lay down.”
I lay down. “Wow Nick, it’s beautiful.”
During that part, I climbed out of my seat. “Lish! Where are you going?”
“Uhh, bathroom?”
“okay.” She said, satisfied with my answer. But I was really, walking towards the stage. When he sang “To have you lying by my side” I was at the side of the stage, next to Joe.
“Go!” he hands me his mike and I join Nick in the next part.
“When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe”
Nick’s head shot towards me. When he saw me, he smiled.
With NICK ~
“When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe”
OH MY GOD! I saw the girl from the meet and greet. OH MY GOD! She’s ALICIA! That’s why she’s so… familiar. So I sang the next part.
With ALICIA ~
Nick walked towards me and sang.
“Come back baby please, 'cause
We belong together”
I Join him.
“Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough?
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up?”
Then I sing alone.
“Who's gonna take your place?
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together”
“I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio”
“Singing to me
'If you think you're lonely now'
Wait a minute
This is too deep, too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial”
“Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm feeling all out of my element”
I’m now standing in front of Nick. His neck is scrunching down towering over me. My neck on my 5’3” frame was stretching up. I sing
“I'm throwing things
Crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life (in my life, in my life), baby”
While I’m singing that, a flashback comes to me, from after Nick and his brothers leave.
I run around my room, grabbing everything that reminded me of them and threw them out my window. When everything was out my window I ran downstairs. I scrambled to the sad mountain of souvenirs. I threw myself over the pile and cried. I screamed out “Why!? WHY is this happening to me?! Can’t you guys see that I need you?”
“When you left
I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe”
“Come back baby please, 'cause
We belong together”
I Join him.
“Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough?
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up?”
Then I sing alone.
“Who's gonna take your place?
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together”
We repeat it again.
“Lish, I love you. I always did.” He said with shining eyes.
“Uh,” I said, not believing it. “Then why didn’t you ever call?”
“I was, afraid. When I told you I loved you, after I rejected you, you said there was another guy in your life, and I guess, I didn’t want that to happen again.”
“Well… if you were paying attention, I broke up with the horn dog Josh about 3 days after you confessed because it relit my feelings for you.”
“yeah, but I was already convinced that you would never love me again.”
“Then, you’re wrong.”
“Really how is that? Pro-” but I crashed my lips into his. I couldn’t help it anymore. I heard the whole stadium cheering. And I heard some people in the front crying. “Wow… uhh… I guess that was my proof.” He chuckled after we pulled away. I didn’t reply, I just tossed my mic to Joe, and hugged Nick. When I pulled away, he gave me a peck on the lips. Cheers again.
“Hey, I never gave Joe and Kevin any real hugs so far.” I walk over to Joe.
A girl in the crowd said “oh my god! That’s the girl Joe kissed before!” but then, I spun right around and walked straight back to Nick.
“Hey. I thought you were giving Joe a hug?”
“I am.” I said simply and charged at Joe, full speed. He turned around right before I jumped into his arms and caught me. He caught me around my waist, while my legs wrapped around his torso.
“Hey Nick, doesn’t that bother you? The girl you love with Joe?”
“Nah,” he answered. “Joe and Kevin are like older brothers to her.” He said as I gave Joe a kiss on the cheek.
“Even when she does that?”
“Yeah.” Joe put me down and I waltz over to Kevin. He spins me around and hugs me. I also give Kevin a kiss on the cheek. Then he spins me back to Nick.
“Hey Nick.” I said, giving him a peck on the lips.
“Hey.”
“OH my god! I can’t take it anymore!” The girl that kept asking Nick the questions, leaped onto stage. She ran towards Nick and kissed him. He pulled away. And I couldn’t believe it.
“GET OFF HIM BITCH!” I scream.
“Make me mofo!” she replied.
“Great comeback… dipshit.” I feel someone pull me back. I turn around and it’s Nick. Big Rob was holding the skank. “Skank.” I mutter.
“What did you say?” she said, shocked.
“Did I stutter? Look at your clothes. Skank.” She was wearing a tube that that had Nick’s face on the front with the words Nick Jonas all over, with a 5 in miniskirt and 4 inch heels.
Big Rob pulled her away and I turned around. “You know, she didn’t kiss me. Right?” Nick said, his eyes searching for approval.
“Of course Nick. I saw the whole thing. And by the way, I know you wouldn’t do suspect something like that, ‘cause we belong together.” I used the lyrics to the song we just sang and I kissed him. But before anything could happen, Nick pulled away. “What?” I said, searching his eyes for some sort of clue. Without a word, he swooped me up into his arms bridal style and walked towards his dressing room…
