Forcing Love & Friendship - Chapter 4

The next day the three girls went shopping for new outfits for the concert. They needed to look special. They came back to the hotel with shopping bags. But Sarah wasn't watching where she was going and bumped in to someone, knocking both of them down. Keila and Gabi kept going.

"I'm sooo sorry! I-" Sarah looked at the person she bumped in to. He had curly hair, but it wasn't Kevin. It was Nick Jonas. She was shocked. He smiled.
"No, it was my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going.
"Y-Your..."
"Nick." He held out his hand and Sarah shook it.
"I'm Sarah."
"Nice to meet you!" He smiled and went on his way.
"Wow..." she got up and ran to the others grinning ear to ear.
"What? Did you meet another one?" Gabi asked.
"I.. met.. Nick!" Sarah tried to contain herself.
"How come you keep meeting them?" Keila whined.
"Because I'm the one that thought of this!" Sarah gloated.

Later, they went to the concert. They all thought it was awesome. After that, they went in the HUGE line to meet the Jonas Brothers. As luck would have it, they were in the very back. They waited for what seemed like days, but they eventually go to them. Keila was first, and acted as if they were normal people; which was fine, but rare. Next was Sarah. Nick and Kevin both recognized her from the hotel. When she got to Joe, however, they both were completely hypnotized. They looked into each others eyes and were both caught in a daze. Nick rolled his eyes and took a megaphone and yelled, "Joe!" he set it down and went back to business. Joe and Sarah snapped out of it.

"Hi." He said to her.
"H....H..Hi. I'm Sarah."
"Nice to meet you, Sarah. You're very pretty!"
"Thanks." Sarah blushed as Joe handed her an autograph and smiled at her. She swallowed hard and her eyes widened as she put her hand over her stomach.
"Are you okay?"
"I just swallowed my gum." he smiled at her again. He gave her a hug and she walked over to where Keila was waiting.

Gabi did the same thing to both Kevin and Joe.
"Hi. What's your name?"
"G....Gabriella."
"Pretty name"
"T-Thankyou" She shook all over. She started to leave.
"What, no hug?" She hugged them stiffly.

But it was different with Nick. She walked up to him nervously.
"Hi."
"H...h...h...hi."
"What's your name?"
"G....G....G-Gabriella."
"That's a very pretty name."
She was now trembling. He looked into her eyes and smiled sweetly. Gabi started breathing heavily.
"You're very pretty, Gabriella."
She grabbed her inhaler and inhaled it. Nick opened his arms for a hug. She walked over to him and hugged him. As he wrapped his arms around her, she started feel woozy and had a weird feeling in her stomach.
She let go and covered her mouth. She ran to the bathroom. Keila and Sarah looked at each other and went to see what's wrong. Kevin and Joe looked at Nick. He shrugged his shoulders.

Gabi was in a stall puking.

"Gabi! What happened?!" Keila yelled.
"Ew, why are you puking?" Sarah asked disgusted. Keila elbowed her. "What?"
Gabi got up and went over to the sink to rinse her vomit stained mouth. She looked at herself with a frown.
"I blew it." She said roughly. "I totally blew it."
"It's okay, Gabi!" Keila comforted her. "They'll understand!"
"No they won't! I almost threw up on Nick!"
Sarah jumped in. "I bet they get almost barfed on all the time!"
"Um, that doesn't really help."
"Sorry..?"
"I can't go back out there!"
"You have to!"
"I won't! I refuse! I am not going out there, and you can't make me!" she crossed her arms. Keila and Sarah looked at each other. Gabi's eyes widened.
"Oh no." she said. "Don't do it!"
"We won't unless you go out the yourself." Sarah said.
"I can't!"
"Okay!" Keila said tauntingly. They reached out to grab her. Gabi ran into a stall and locked it. She saw arms reach underneath the door. She screamed loudly.

"What's going on?!" Joe wondered.
"I don't know!" Kevin said.
"It sounded like a scream!" Nick exclaimed.
"Let's go, gang!" they yelled in unison. They posed like superheros then laughed.
"But seriously, something sounds wrong." Joe said.

Gabi stood up on the toilet, almost slipping. "Get away from me!" She screamed again. Keila and Sarah crawled under and into the stall. Sarah quickly unlocked the door and opened it. She helped Keila grab Gabi and lift her. They carried Gabi out of the bathroom and into the room where the Jonas Brothers were.

"Help!" Gabi's ear piercing scream came from the hall. Kevin, Nick and Joe looked at each other then started to run and see what happened. Then out came Keila and Sarah carrying Gabi out into the room. The boys looked at the girls with huge eyes. They backed away like scared children. Keila and Sarah set Gabi down, but blocked any exits. Gabi glared at them her evil stare. They motioned her to go on. She turned around to see three freaked out boys.

"What just..." Joe started.
"Don't ask." Sarah interrupted.
"Go on, Gabi!" Keila yelled. Gabi swallowed hard.
"U-Ummm... s-sorry... f-for r-r-running awayy..." she looked at her shoes.
"It's okay." Nick said smiling. Gabi turned around with a "PLEASE can we leave now?" face.
"Well, we better go... bye!" Keila said as we walked out.
"Bye!" They yelled in unison.

"So, Kevin..." Joe started. "Is that the girl you were talking about?"
"Who?" Kevin asked.
"Sarah. The one with black hair."
"Ohh! Yes she is." Joe smiled at Kevin.
"I always knew you had good taste!" He said.
"You like her?"
"Yeah, kinda!"
"Oh well, good, because she's staying at the same hotel as us."
Joe grinned even larger.
"Geez, Joe!" Nick said. "Your smile is bigger than your head!"
"Sweet!" Kevin and Nick looked at Joe.
"What?" They rolled their eyes.

Back at the hotel, while Gabi was in her room trying to sleep, Keila and Sarah were in the bathroom brushing their hair and getting ready for bed.

"Wow, Sarah." Keila said. "Did you see the way Joe looked at you?"
"Oh? I didn't notice. I was too busy staring in his beautiful eyes." Sarah said.
"I think he likes you." Sarah turned to her.
"You really think?" She said smiling.
"Yeah. I mean, seriously, he looked at you any chance he could get."
"Wow..."
"Plus I think he winked at you during the concert."
"Really?!" Sarah grinned as big as Joe did.
"Yup. And since he's staying here, you might get him to ask you out or something."
"You're right. And if he doesn't, I'll try again and again and again!"
"Yeah. Just be suttle when you flirt with him, kay?"
"Duh."

They all went into bed and got some sleep. Everyone, that is, except Gabi. She laid there in the dark room staring at the ceiling. She couldn't sleep. She couldn't even think about anything but what happened. She kept thinking, I'm soo stupid! They'll never like me now, and it's only the first time we've met! If only I could do it over... if only... She drifted off to sleep. All night long she kept having weird dreams about her and Nick. In the first dream, she and Nick were making out in a movie theater. In the second dream, she and Nick were slow dancing on a beach at sunset. And in the third dream, Nick sent her a HUGE bouquet of flowers and a musical card with a recording of Nick saying, "I love you, Gabriella!"

She had a fourth dream, too. Nick had a knife and was taunting her with it. She backed away in fear and was on the very edge of a cliff. Then, Nick shoved the knife through her heart, also causing her to fall off. She woke up screaming and hope nobody heard her. She looked at the clock. 5;49 AM. She sighed. How am I supposed to sleep now?
