Over My Head Ch. 79

--Meanwhile-- Joe: Nick! Garbo: Come on man, get your head in the game... no Disney pun intended. Kevin: (walks over to Nick) What's up man? Nick: (looks up from guitar) What do you mean? Joe: You've been messing up. Its like you're not really focusing. Kevin: Yeah. And you never mess up.... EVER. Garbo: And the performance is tomorrow... and we don't have much more rehersal time. Nick: Sorry. I've just been thinking of some stuff. Joe: What kind of stuff? Nick: Layla stuff. Kevin: What about her? Nick: I just feel like I've been a bad boyfriend. I mean, I haven't been around that much... or at all really. Joe: But she gets that you're busy. Nick: I know... I think. Kevin: And its not like you haven't- Nick: -Today's the 6th. Kevin: Uh... what? Nick: Today is September 6th. Joe: Yes, we're all well aware of that. Nick: Layla's birthday was August 6th. Kevin: What does that have to do with anything? Nick: That's when Layla and I first started going out. Kevin: Oh. So its the one month marking point, huh? Joe: Wait. Didn't you guys like kiss at midnight or something... and then technically get together in the morning? Nick: Well... technically yes. Joe: So then tomorrow is the one month... thingy. Nick: Either way. It doesn't matter if its today or if its tomorrow. Point being, its her first one-month-aversary with her first ever boyfriend... ever... And it's going to suck because I'm not going to be able to see her. Joe: (walks over and pats Nick on the back) Don't be so hard on yourself. Nick: (sighs) Yeah. Joe: Trust me. If there's anyone in the world that understand you and how busy you are... its Layla. Nick: I know. Kevin: We'll plan something where we can all be together and hang. Okay? Nick: Yeah. Fine. Let's just play, okay? Garbo: Finally! --8 hours later, 11:45 pm-- (Layla walks out onto her balcony and looks up at the sky. She takes a deep breath and climbs up onto her roof and lies down, starting to stargaze. Moments later she hears the sound of somone getting out of a car, followed by the car leaving. She sits up and looks down in front of her house to see Nick doing something with his phone. Moments later her phone starts buzzing, indicating a new text message) txtNick: Hey, u awake? (Layla put down her phone and looked down at Nick) Layla: (whisper shouts) I'm up here. Nathan's working on his car in the garage. Go into the house from there. (Nick smiles and nods as he walks towards the front door) --3 minutes later-- (Nick walks out onto the balcony and joins Layla up on the roof. He lies down and turns to face her) Nick: Whatcha doing? Layla: (smiles) Looking at the stars. Nick: (turns her head to face him) You're looking at the biggest one. Layla: (laughs) Oh wow. Cocky much? Nick: (chuckles) Why are you still awake? Layla: I don't know. It's not THAT late. Nick: Yeah... I guess. Layla: How was the rehersal? Nick: I kept messing up. Layla: (smirks) I thought Nick Jonas never messes up. Nick: Yeah. That's what I thought too. Layla: So what happened? Nick: I kept thinking about you... and how I keep letting you down. Layla: Nick. No... you're not- Nick: -No Layla. (sits up) I know I am. Its okay. I'm being a horrible boyfriend and I know it. You deserve someone who's going to be here for you 24/7. Layla: (sits up) Nick. You are in no way a horrible boyfriend. Nick: Oh really? Cus I think not being with you on our one month dating mark day... thing... or whatever you call it pretty much makes me a bad boyfriend. And that's just one of the things that I've done wrong. Layla: Seriously Nick. You're not. You're thinking of me all the time. A horrible boyfriend wouldn't feel bad about things he did. A horrible boyfriend wouldn't come visit me in the middle of the night because he had to make sure I was okay... A horrible boyfriend wouldn't mess up his songs because he was thinking of me... Nick: (looks at her) I... (looks down and sighs) Layla: It's not your fault. Nick: (mumbles) except it is... Layla: What? Nick: Nothing. (smiles) Hey. Layla: What? Nick: What time is it? Layla: Um... Hold on. (Layla adjusts herself to get out her phone and looks down at the sceen.) Layla: (looking down) Like... (She looks up to find Nick sitting incredibly close to her) Layla: Less than a minute till- Nick: (leans in and kisses her) Layla: (pulls away and smiles) -Midnight... Nick: (smirks) One month exactly. Layla: (smiles) And a bad boyfriend wouldn't have planned out something like that. (Nick smiles as he pulls Layla into a hug) I know I said i would try to post on... saturday or sunday i think it was... i dunno but i couldn't get to the computer cus i wasn't home at all ... but it hasn't been too long :D
