Story of our Lives
STORY OF OUR LIVES
Nick’s POV
Yawn I look out at my window and yet again I see the same old thing,tons of fangirls screaming my name.Waiting for their morning song, like I don’t have my own goals to achieve in the morning. Yeesh give a guy a break, I would love some breakfast you know! Anyways welcome to my life, the life of a famous pop-star, Nick Ellis.
“Good morning mom” I say hoping for a hug and instead I get a fist in the face. Sometimes I wonder if my mom is even proud of me. I mean what mother would prefer her only son to be throwing himself at girls at the random? “Nicholas Johnson Ellis” My mom yells ”yes mom?” I reply, getting ready to fight for my soul “ I got a call from your dad” she says in a way that I think was supposed to reassure me. “Nick, Honey... look I think it’s time we let him back into our lives again” I look at her in disgust and I stomp out of the room, then I realise there’s nowhere to run to, but one place. My last safe place.
Jane’s POV
I wonder if Nick even likes black girls like me. What am I saying where in the world will I ever even get to see him in the flesh. He probably likes the typical skinny arse, blue eyed, blonde haired white girls. Ughh get off yourself Jane, and get to work. I pick up my phone to call Sierra my best friend. But she doesn’t pick up, what do I expect when you have a friend that is the complete opposite of you?I make my way to the shower, and put on whatever clean jeans I find and a black top that says ‘forget yesterday because you can’t change it’. I grab my bag and my phone that clearly screams at me to buy a new one. I make my way down the apartment to the bus hoping to catch the nineteen.
“Hey, Sierra” I say hoping she won’t realise I’m ten minutes late “Jane Simone Parker!!” She screamed out my full name...there’s gonna be trouble.``Sierra, I’m sorry I forgot to set my alarm and I woke up late” I say hoping she wouldn’t see through the excuse I very much just thought about. “ You do know I can tell when you’re lying right?”. Welp I might as well sign my death certificate, I say that a little bit too loud, loud enough for Sierra to throw a day old bagel at my face.”Your phone is too old to support alarms dumb arse”I wait for my punishment but instead Sierra drops her towel and sits besides me and says “look ever since you lost your parents you’ve let go of everything, ” I look at my friend in astonishment “Rara ” which is my nickname for her ” I don’t wanna go there” She holds my hands which I forcefully remove from hers”Jane get a hold of yourself you’re an adult...and so am I ” she takes a pause, which tells me a lot ”look Jane i’m gonna have to lay you off the job for a while” I look at her face in disarray and walk out letting my legs lead me away.
Nick’s POV
I find my way to the park my mum used to take me to when I was younger. I see a girl crying on the bench, I hope she isn’t one of those fangirls “hey is this seat taken?” I asked her and to my surprise her tears stopped… What have I walked into, it is one of those fangirls
Jane’s POV
Wishes must come true,because I see Nick Ellis sitting right beside me. Say something Jane … anything!!! “Of course you can sit” I scoot over and look at my palms,and suddenly I don’t see why I ever liked him all I saw was a man who was famous “ I don’t mean to sound rude but, what are you doing here?” As soon as I say those words I regret every single one of them, because he looks at me with his nose scrunched up. Which to me was totally adorable.
Nick’s POV
I’m very surprised she didn’t jump at me, but I should say something soon because she is starting to look like she offended me.” Just trying to get away from life...an escape if you will” she then says” why? when you have the perfect life...what is there to run away from?” I turn away at the words that were thrown at me all my life” nothing” I say in reply hoping she’d also be one the people who couldn’t see through that easily. She then replies “ Of course there can’t just be nothing, people always say that as an excuse when there really is something. I know you just met me and all, but you’re human and you’re probably going through some shitty stuff in your life right now ” It’s like she read my mind, before I could reply she says one last thing before she stood up “look if you ever need to let out some feelings just do what I do treat yourself out, be around people that make you happy and the most important of all take a pillow and scream in it” she said as she chuckled which showed her deep dimples. She stood up to leave but there was something about her and I could tell she was going through something also. I wanted someone who would see me for me and not for the pop star I am, and now that I’ve found her I’m not letting go that easily.
Jane’s POV
He looks like he’s going through something, I don’t wanna look nosy so I should probably stop bothering him. I just hope he listens to my advice , because that shit took some confidence out of me. What am I saying it took all the confidence out of me!!! I stand up and grab my bag to walk back home and eat some instant ramen, while binge watching my favorite movie . Instead I’m shook by what happens next...
