“so what’s next?” Kevin asked looking first at Jessica and then at the group
“yo, I heard about this awesome dance club, Vanderbilt, 3 floors of just dancing, the place is awesome” AJ suggested
“yeah, I’ve heard of it, everyone who goes says its the best” Kim replied
“So lets go, Nick said pulling the chair out for Amanda”
“We’ll meet you guys there” Amanda said getting up. As they walked out hand in hand Kevin watched, Jessica looked at him
“Man, this is gonna be hard on them” Kevin said with a frown
“What do you mean?” Kim asked
“Guys, we’re leaving tomorrow afternoon, Nick and Amanda just met, they cant determine if they want to stay together based on one night” Jessica frowned as Kevin said this, knowing how hard it is to maintain a relationship when one is always on the road. Kevin pulled Jessica closer and kissed her on the forehead.
Nick and Amanda were pretty silent in the car, both trying to decide what to say next. The dance club was pretty close to the restaurant so it wasn’t too much of a drive. Amanda was driving this time, and the wind blew her long, wavy, brown hair, Nick just watched. Nick had never felt this way, he wasn’t sure if he was in love or not, all he knew is he never wanted this night to end. Amanda pulled up to the parking lot of Vanderbilt, the place really was big. Amanda had never really been to a dance club, especially since she just turned 19.
They got a table to accommodate all 10 of them. As Amanda and Nick sat there, Amanda watched a man in front of her, who was drunk. It hurt her so much to see people getting drunk and then get into their car. This man could hardly walk in a straight line, tears started building up in her eyes, Nick knew she watching someone but wasn’t sure what, when he finally saw what she was looking at it all clicked. He pulled her closer, kissing her softly on the lips as she then buried her head in his chest, she couldn’t control herself, the tears came pouring down, this is why Amanda hated going to places like this. It hurt Nick so much to see her in so much pain. He couldn’t relate to her, but when he saw her crying it hurt him too.
“I’m sorry” Amanda said as a few more tears came running down her cheeks.
“About what?”
“That I get like this, It kills me when I see drunk people, like him, people who are so drunk they cant even remember their own name, then they take their keys out of their pocket and get ready to go drive, and for some reason their so called friends, see nothing wrong with this. I made a promise, that first of all I would never drink heavy alcohol, and never drive with alcohol in my body. I could never”
“Sweetie, I cant even express how bad I feel” Amanda loved the way Nick sounded when he called her sweetie. His voice was so soothing, so clam, he really made it seem like everything was going to be alright
“Thank you Nick” she leaned in and kissed him, first softly then gradually getting more passionate. As they pulled away a familiar voice was heard
“woah baby!! way to go Nick” AJ yelled. Amanda laughed as she blushed. Everyone soon arrived, as they were all sitting there, Nick had his arms wrapped tightly around Amanda, pulling her in closer, kissing her on the cheeck softly, Kim couldn’t stand watching them, she took AJs arm and put it around her shoulders, then taking him and getting him to go to the dance floor. Amanda just watched them, thinking them to made such a cute couple. Nick held her so tight, it just felt so good, to have someone care for her again. After she lost her family, she knew Kim’s family cared about her, but not the same way her family did, or Nick did. She looked up at him starring into his blue eyes, she started to play with his golden hair, then leaning in to kiss him. Kim couldn’t help but stare.
“hey babe whats wrong?” AJ asked
“oh, nothing” Kim said, still watching Nick and Amanda, then leaning in to kiss AJ. They kissed when AJ finally pulled apart.
“come on, tell me whats wrong” AJ insisited “you like Nick dont you?” he paused “you can tell me, I’m use to hearing who’s peoples favorites, I dont want to be the boyfriend you have so you can keep an eye on Amanda and Nick, I mean not to sound rude or anything” Kim’s face dropped she felt horrible, she thought AJ was a great guys
“listen AJ, I mean I can’t lie to you, I loved Nick ever since I became a fan 2 and 1/2 years ago, me and Amanda are best friends, and I have to admit I’m jealous, I can’t stop loving him within a matter of a few hours. I’m sorry, Man, when I tell my friends about this they are gonna wanna kick my ass for not going with you, but like you said, I don’t want you to be the boyfriend I use so I cant watch over Amanda and Nick”
“Wow” He said, surprised that she actually told the truth “listen I am so happy you told me the truth, I’m dissapointed and all, but maybe we can stay friends, good friends, and maybe one day we can become...an item” He then kissed her on the cheeck for being so honest with him. He felt that if she could admitt to all of that then them two would definetly have a great friendship. “And any of the girls who wanna kick you ass for not going with me, and are interested..give them my number” he said with a smile, as Kim playfully hit him in the arm, “I’m just joking” he said putting his arm around her.
