Chapter 33

Maz's POV



We remained silent for an extra 10 seconds, looked each other straight in the eyes, and kissed, on the balcony, in front of the sunset. Most, romantic, moment I'm having.

We stood there, kissing for atleast a minute. He picked me up and carried me to our massive bedroom and lay me on the bed. He crawled on top of me and continued kissing. We kissed, for a very long time. It was the most amazing thing ever. We stopped kissing. Nick moved off me, and we both lied next to each other. We turned on our sides so we were facing each other. He brushed my fringe off my face and placed his hand on my cheek. I put my arms around him and pulled him closer. I didn't want to let go. I smiled at him, he smiled back.

Nick: This is officially the best birthday I have ever had.
Maz: This is the most amazing night I have ever had.
Nick: Be mine?
Maz: Yes.

He kissed me once more, and then we got up and walked to the balcony, and finished watching the sunset in each others arms. Just as it hit 9pm we heard a knock on our door.

Maz: Can we not tell anyone yet?
Nick: I was just about to ask you the same thing.

We quickly kissed and opened the door.

Maz: Heyyy.
Sarah: Hello. As you can see, we're back.
Maz: Have fun?
Sarah: Sunset plus couples equals romantic. Yes, it was awesome.
Maz: Ahaha. So you guys wanna come in?
Sarah: Nah, we're going to our room to watch a movie.
Maz: Awesome.
Sarah: You guys coming over?
Maz: Nah, we're going to bed early.
Sarah: Awww, okay. Well we'll see you tomorrow morning. Wait, is Joe in his room sleeping already?
Maz: Amazingly enough yes. I've never seen him this tired ever before.
Sarah: I know. It's weird.
Maz: Well, I better let you go watch the movie with the other 3.
Sarah: Yeah, I'll see you later.
Maz: Awesome. *Hugs Sarah* Bye
Sarah: Bye.

I closed the door and turned around. Nick had a "wow-that-was-a-long-chat-at-the-door" expression on his face.

Maz: Hahaha, whaaat?
Nick: You girls talk to much?
Maz: Why, is that a bad thing?
Nick: Yeeees.
Maz: Oooohhh whyy?
Nick: Coz then we're wasting the time we have together.
Maz: Awww I'm sorry.

I walked up to him and gave him a hug. I looked up at him.

Nick: So what do you wanna do?
Maz: Well, it's nine o'clock. And the stars are out.
Nick: Balcony?
Maz: You just read my mind.
Nick: I'll bring drinks.
Maz: I'll get chocolate.

We walked to the kitchen that had a few of those complimentary things and took them with us outside. I watched Nick as he poured our Diet coke into champagne glasses and giggled.

Nick: *English accent* A drink for the lady?
Maz: *English accent* Yes please. Thank you sir. You're such a gentleman.
Nick: My pleasure Miss.

We started laughing. I cut up the chocolate into squares and put them on a plate. We sat together out on the balcony. Nick put his arm around me as we watched the stars, eating chocolate and drinking Coke from champagne glasses. I could not have asked for a better night.

Maz: The sky is gorgeous tonight. The stars look like diamonds in the sky.
Nick: I know. It's amazing. The last time I saw this many stars was the time when you first came, and we were at the restaurant, and yeah...
*silence*
Maz: I'm sorry.
Nick: About what?
Maz: Running away from you that night.
Nick: It's not your fault. I would have probably done the same thing if I was you.
Maz: I guess. But it was a nice night.
Nick: Only because you we're there.
Maz: Awww, you're so cheesy.
Nick: I can stop.
Maz: Don't. I like it.

Till 10 we drank, laughed, ate and gazed at the stars.
I started to yawn.

Nick: You're getting tired. We should go to bed.
Maz: I'll sleep on the couch.
Nick: There is no way you're sleeping there.
Maz: Then wher--
I starred at him. I caught on to why he was looking at me in a weird way.
Maz: No way.
Nick: If you're comfortable, then I am.
Maz: I'm comfortable with that.

We walked back in. I went to my walk in wardrobe and took out my pyjamas. Shorts and tank top. Red and purple. My faves. I started to change when I noticed Nick was changing too. Not that I was perving, his walk in wardrobe door was creaked open. That meant that so was mine. As I stood there, not intentionally perving he caught me looking. He smiled, I smiled, we continued changing.

Chapter 32

Maz's POV



We got to the hotel. It was amazing. We had people from the hotel come outside and bring our suitcases in. We have the highest floor where all the best rooms are and the best views. Everyone went into their rooms, I went in with Nick. We put our bags down and walked around. There was a massive bedroom. With one king size bed. Oh god. I walked around the room frantically, without trying to make Nick notice me, for another bed. No matter where I looked there was only that one bed. We would have to sleep in the same bed tonight. Weird and awkward much? I decided not to worry about that till the time came. I walked over to the window, we had the most gorgeous view of the beach. I looked at my mobile, it was 5 pm. I walked back to my suitcase and put it in one of the walk in wardrobes. I turned around to see Nick puttin his in the wardrobe opposite to mine. We smiled at each other, both knowing we would have to sleep in the same bed for two nights.

Nick's POV

Maz and I had to share a room...and a bed. One of us could always have slept on the amazingly comfortable red and black sofa but we knew we would roll of the end of it. After putting our suitcases in our wardrobes we walked into the most amazing looking lounge I had ever seen in a hotel. There was a bookshelf filled with dvd's. We scanned over the titles. These people had really good taste in movies.

Maz: We should watch one tonight.
Nick: Yeah, that would be nice.

We walked out of our room to see how the others were going. Joe was really happy with his room. Poor guy was so tired. No idea why. And Kevin and everyone else in that room were settled in well.

Emily: I say we go out for dinner.
Maz: That, is a great idea!
Kevin: Where should we go?
Nick: You guys can pick, I'm not fussed.
Joe: What do you guys feel like eating?
Maz: Either chicken or pasta.
Jake: Yeah same here.
Sarah: There's a nice Italian restaurant about a 10 minute walk from here by the beach.
Joe: How do you know?
Sarah: I lived her for 3 months, until I moved closer to Taylor for business reasons.
Jake: Fair enough.
Maz: Well, we better get going, it's 6pm already.
Emily: Yeah, lets go.

We all hopped into the elevator and walked out of the hotel. We walked across the road, walked for about 5 minutes, got to the beach, walked for another 5 minutes and arrived to the Italian restaurant by the beach.

Maz's POV

After settling in we decided to go to a restaurant by the beach. It was the most gorgeous restaurant I had seen in a long time. We sat outside. It was amazing, we ate great food and heard the crashing of the waves against the seashore which was so relaxing. It got to 8pm. The sun was starting to set. Everyone could easily tell Joe was really tired.

Joe: I think I'll start heading back to the hotel. Anyone coming.
Maz & Nick: I will.

We looked at each other.
Maz: I guess we're going. You guys staying?
Kevin: Yeah, I think we'll watch it set here.
Nick: Well we'll leave you four love birds alone.
*laughs*
Jake: Ahaha ok then, goodnight.
Maz, Joe & Nick: Goodnight.

We raced each other back to the hotel. I obviously came last.

Maz: You guys cheated!!
Joe: No we didn't.
*Ding!*
Elevator: Going up.
Nick: How did we cheat?
Maz: *magical creepy voice* You used the force.
Joe: Nick I think we should tell her now.
Nick:Are you sure?
Joe: Yes. Maz, we are from outer space, sent here to take over the world, or atleast an ice cream stand!
*loud laughing*
*Ding!*
Elevator: You have reached your floor.

We walked out of the elevator and stopped infront of our room doors.

Maz: Joe, you going to sleep now?
Joe: Yeah, I'm really tired.
Maz: Okey doke, goodnight. *Hug's Joe*
Nick: 'Nite bro
Joe: 'Nite

Nick and I walked into our room and sat on the couch. I then got up and walked outside onto our balcony. The sun was setting. It was gorgeous. Nick joined me about 3 seconds after.

Maz: That's the first time I've ever seen the sunset.
Nick: Really? This is the most amazing one I've ever seen.
Maz: *looks Nick in the eyes* And why is that so?
Nick: Because I'm watching it with you.

We remained silent for an extra 10 seconds, looked each other straight in the eyes, and kissed, on the balcony, in front of the sunset. Most, romantic, moment I'm having.

Chapter 31

Emily's POV

Emily: Wow.
Jake: Glad you like it. Now we better go before Maz starts getting annoyed.
Emily: Yeah, good idea.

We got into his car and made our way to the house.

Nick's POV
It was my birthday. Joe decided it would be fun to take me to a football stadium and play a bit of sport. Joe booked out the whole stadium for an hour. That must have cost him a heap. So for an hour we just played sport.

Joe's POV
I didn't know how long I could keep Nick away from the house for. I felt my phone buzz. I looked at my phone.

[1 New message from Maz]
Hey, Were ready. you can bring him now.

Finally. We thanked everyone for letting us use the stadium and drove home.

Maz's POV
Emily and Jake finally came and we had set up everything. The house looked amazing. The boys parents called him earlier today to say happy birthday. Tonight was going to be great. We closed all the lights and waited all together with balloons and party poppers. We stood there in the darkness waiting to surprise Nick. Suddenly we heard the door creak open.

Nick: Seriously, Joe, what's going on.

The lights flicked on.

Everyone: Surprise!!
Nick: Oh my god.
Everyone: Happy Birthday!
Nick: Wow, guys, thanks so much.

We all went up to him into a big group hug. We all went into the main dining room, where they usually only used for special occasions. We had done it up so nicely. Balloons, streamers, the whole sha-bang. It looked awesome. We sat down and started eating.

Nick: You really didn't have to do all this.
Kevin: We were only going to do something small, but Maz wanted to do something bigger.
Nick: Awww thanks.
Maz: No problem. Is the food alright?
Joe: Are you kidding? It's amazing!
Maz: Awesome.

We sat there eating for about an hour, and when everyone was finished we cleaned up and got ready to go to laser force and go karting.

Maz:Go put something more casual on.
Nick: Why?
Maz: We're taking you some where.
Nick: Where?
Maz: You'll see when we get there.

We walked down the hall into our rooms and quickly changed. Everyone else was ready. As we we're about to walk out of the house, we heard a car beep from outside. We opened the door and saw a massive Hummer Limo waiting for us outside.

Nick: Wow, Maz, a limo?
Maz: Hey, don't look at me, I didn't know anything about this.

We looked at each other in confussion. then we turned around to see Joe with a big smile spread across his face.

Maz: No way! You didn't!
Joe: Oh, yes I did.
Nick: Wow, Joe, you di--
Joe: Hey, Maz did something so I wanted to aswell.
Nick: Well, we better get in then.
Sarah: It's amazing.

We all walked out of the house and into the Hummer. It was the biggest Limo I had ever been in, and the most gorgeous one.

Emily: This, is, gorgeous!
Jake: Yeah. It must have cost a fortune.
Joe: Not really, and plus we have it booked for the whole day.
Kevin: So we can go anywhere with it for today?
Joe: Yep.
Maz: We should do something after the "place" we go to since we have it for the day.
Kevin: Yeah, good idea.
Nick: Seriously guys, where are you taking me?
Sarah: Places.
Nick: That's helpful.
Sarah: I thought it would be. *laughs*

We drove down to laser force. During the trip we had a few drinks from the mini fridge in the limo and some chips and chocolate that they supplied for us. I could have stayed in the limo the whole time and be happy. But it's Nick's day today, so I'm going to focus on him. We got to Laser force and got out of the car.

Nick: Oh my god, I haven't been here in ages!
Kevin: We know, so I booked out the whole place for us for 3 hours.
Nick: You three have done way too much. You didn't have to.
Kevin: It's your birthday, we wanted to make it awesome this year.
Nick: Thankyou so much. Let's go in. The force awaits.
*Everyone Laughs*
Maz: You're such a nerd. *smiles*
Nick: Totally. *smiles back*

We walked in and started with the go-karts. We all raced 3 times. The first time Sarah won, second time, Nick won and the third Joe won. We got out of the karts and put on our vests for laser force. We all ran around in the dark laughing and shooting at each other. After 3 hours of running around and racing we left and jummped back into the Hummer.

Nick: Wow, I'm tired.
Maz: Good, because, Emily, Jake and Sarah booked out 3 rooms for all of us.
Nick: You're kidding me right?
Maz: Nup, we're going to the most amazing 5 star hotel.
Nick: *walks up to Emily, Jake and Sarah* Thanks you so much. *pulls them into a hug*
Emily: No problem. We have 3 rooms. One room fits four people, one fits one person and the other fits two people.
Maz: Well, You, Jake, Sarah and Kevin could share the biggest one. Then I could have the one on its own and Joe and Nick could share a room.
Joe: Is it okay if I have the single room. I want to go to bed ealier, I'm really tired.
Maz: If you want.
Joe: Thanks.

We got to the hotel.

Chapter 30

Maz's POV
Joe found me and picked me up.
We decided I should call Nick.
I dialed his number.
The phone rung a few times.

Nick:Hello?
He sounded frantic.



Maz:Hey, it's me.
Nick: Oh thank god, you're okay.
Maz: Yeah, i'm alright. I'm really sorry for storming out and taking your car.
Nick: No, no don't worry about it. I don't blame you. Wait where are you now?
Maz: Joe's picked me up and he's bringing me and the car home. Oh by the way I kinda scratched your car.
Nick: That doesn't matter to me right now. You do.

I shed a tear.
That was the most amazing thing he's said to me all week.



Maz: Okay. Well we're only about 10 minutes away now. I'll see you soon.
Nick: Awesome. I'll see you later.
Maz: Bye.

I hung up. For the rest of the trip we were silent.
We finally reached home after 10 minutes. I got out of the car and walked to the front door. I opened it and walked in. I saw Nick turn the corner. We stood there. Far apart. Face to face. We stood there, staring at each other silently.

I ran up to Nick and he came closer too. We hugged each other insanely tight. That's when I started crying. How could I have been so stupid to think he would do anything like that to me. I burried my head in his shoulder and sobbed.

Maz: I'm so sorry.
Nick: Hey, hey, shhhhhh. Don't worry. It's not your fault.





~~~2 Weeks Later~~~~~~

Maz's POV

Maz: Oi! Love birds, get off the couch and help me here in the kitchen.

Kevin and Sarah were sitting on the couch, being all smushy lovey dovey. And that wasn't helping get Nick's Birthday dinner ready. They got up off the couch and walked over to me in the kitchen.

Sarah: Sorry, what do you need help with?
Maz: Can you please make the salad?
Sarah: Yeah sure.
Maz: thanks, all the stuff is there by the sink. Oh, and Kevin go get all the balloons and party streamers and stuff that I ordered from the party supplies shop. You know where that is right?
Kevin: Yeah, the one with the giant green caterpillar with the top hat on. That caterpillar is so cute. Wait why does it eve--
Maz:Kevin!
Kevin: Oops sorry. I'm going, I'm going!
Maz: Sorry, I just want to make this special for Nick.
Kevin: I know, don't worry, it'll be fantastic.
Maz: Thanks.

Kevin ran out the dorr and went to get the party supplies. But Kevin did have a point, why did the caterpillar even wear the top hat? Hmmm. Strange, strange caterpillar. I snapped out of my caterpillar trance and went back to work. Nick's dinner party had to be amazing. After dinner we're going to take him to some Laser wars and go karting thing, which we all love. Jesus, where is Emily?? Wait wasn't she bringing Jake?

Emily's POV

I had to get the Jonas house to help Maz and everyone with Nick's Party. Jake was taking forever to get ready.

Emily: Jake, Hurry up!
Jake: I'm hurrying.

Just as I was about to nag him again he came out of his room. He looked reeeeaally good.

Emily: Wow.

Chapter 29

Maz's POV

I was going to call Joe.
I slowly dial his number. I press the green phone button. I put the phone to my ear and try focussing on what I'm going to say.

Joe:Hello?
Maz: Hey.
Joe: Are you crying?
Maz: Just a little. I'll explain later. Can you pick me up?
Joe: From where?
Maz: It's about an hours drive from your place. Uhhh, there's like a tulip farm.
Joe: I know where that is. I'll come and get you.
Maz: Take the bus or something.
Joe: Wait, how did you get there in the first place?
Maz: I'll explain everything later.
Joe: Okay, I'll see you soon.

I hung up. I took a look at the car. There were a couple of scratches on the bumper. Nick will get over it. A couple of weeks. To do what? Get to know me. Well he'll get to know a complete different side of me.


Joe's POV
I got in my car and dropped everything at home. I couldn't see Nick anywhere. i ran to the bus stop and waited for the bus to where Maz was waiting. Why was she crying? The bus arrived after 10 minutes and drove an hour and stopped. I walked off the bus and saw Maz and Nick's car near the tulip farm. I ran up to her. She was sitting next to the car.

Joe: Hey, are you ok?
Maz: No.
Joe: Where's Nick?
Maz: I don't know. Why?
Joe: Coz you kinda have his car.
*Silence*
Joe: Wait, don't tell me you actually drove his car?!
Maz: Yeahhh, I did.
Joe: Maz.
Maz: Joe. I'm sorry, it was out of anger.

I walk over closer and sit next to her.

Joe: Why what happend?
Maz: Well, they guys had dropped me off at home after lunch.
Joe: Yes, and...
Maz: I was going to ask Nick something. And I went to his room and knocked on the door *uneven speaking* a-and he wa-a-s lying on his bed with..
Joe: *Hugs Maz* With who?
Maz: With Miley.

She sheds a few tears then stops. She got up.

Maz: But I'm not going to worry. I'm too strong to be hurt.
Joe: Her. Again. Can't she just get over it?
Maz: Huh?
Joe: Don't worry. He probably didn't mean it. She probably got on him before he could do anything.
Maz: Yeah, I guess. I feel so bad now.
Joe: He'll understand.
Maz: I scratched his car. Badly.
Joe: We make heaps of money. I'm pretty sure we can get it fixed.
Maz: Yeah I guess.

We got up and got into the car. I drove.

Maz: Thankyou so much. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble.
Joe: Nah, you didn't. you might wanna call Nick. He's probably looking for you.
Maz: Yeah. Good idea.
She calls Nick.

Chapter 28

Narrator's POV

Maz had gone Go karting with the guys on the Monday. She stayed there for another week figuring out what she was going to do about the rest of the trip around the world. She decided to stay in America for an extra 4 months. Emily had apologized for accidentally ditching the girls and made up for it by taking them out to dinner (without Jake) and announcing that Jake and herself were now official. Jake also said sorry for making Emily ditch the girls by taking them all out (including the Jonas') for a paintballing session which they all came out looking like a packet of skittles. Everyone had grown closer. Especially Kevin and Sarah, who on their first date, came back drenched. Why? No one knows but them.

Maz's POV

Maz: Thanks for the dinner guys. I'll see you later.

I waved goodbye to Emily, Sarah, Kevin and Jake who were all going out on a double date. They had taken me out to dinner just to make sure I was ok with them leaving me. Joe was at some place doing autograph signing and Nick stayed home because he wasn't feeling to well. As I walked to the front door I noticed a random car parked outside the house. Strange. I opened the door (with the keys the guys cut for me) and announced, "I'm Back!" No reply. It was awfully quiet. I walked into the kitchen and got myself a can of Fanta. I walked into my room and dumped my stuff on the floor. I sat there, and heard some weird ruffling noises. I looked outside but there was no wind to make the trees move or any bird making sound. I walked out of my room into the middle of the hallway. I walked over to Nick's room, quickly knocked and walked in.

Maz: Hey Nick, can...NICK?!
Nick: Maz!

I ran out of his room and grabbed my keys and his keys to his car and my bag with all my stuff in it. I ran outside to his car and drove off in it. I had never driven before. Well I did. I only had my learners. So I knew the basic stuff. I drove off. Down the street as far away from him and the house as possible.

Nick's POV

Maz: Hey Nick, can...NICK?!
Nick: Maz!

She ran out. I heard her grabbing keys and running out of the house. Then I heard a car driving off. Shit. She had taken my car.

Nick: Miley! Get off me!
Miley: What?
Nick: Write a song for your album. Is that all you really wanted to do?
Miley: Who was she anyway?
Nick: A close friend of mine.
Miley: Who has keys to your house?
Nick: Yes.
Miley: Right. And why did she storm out of the house?
Nick: Because she's not like you! Seriously, get out and leave me alone.
Miley: Fine, fine. Geez I'm leaving.

Miley left. Song writing pfft. I knew I should have never trusted her. Where is Maz? Can she even drive? I call a cab and drive around the neighbourhood to find her. I can't find her anywhere.

Maz's POV

Just keep driving. Keep driving. Don't worry about Nick. Everything suddenly went black.

~Flashback~
Nick:No, it's my fault. I was the one that said we should be just friends.
Maz:*Hugs Nick* I know I've only been here for about a week and a half but I seriously feel so connected to you in an unbelievably magical way. I just hoped you felt the same.
Nick:And I do. I really do.
Maz:I know.
~~~~~~~~

I qiuckly woke up from the flashback.

Maz: SHIT!

I swevered off the footpath that I was drving on and avoided the light pole that I almost hit. I stopped, in the middle of no where. I got out of the car and looked around. It was the exact same place where Nick and I had our 2nd kiss a couple of weeks ago. Perfect place to be huh Maz? *note the sarcasm*

I sat in the car opened the sunroof and didn't do anything. What can I do right now? Turn back and risk having my life put on the line? No. I was going to call Joe.

Chapter 27

Maz’s POV

My phone was buzzing. Someone was calling. I took my phone out of my pocket and picked up.

Maz: Hello
????: Hi
Maz: Who is this
????: Sorry, I’m Janice from the airline you’re flying with.
Maz: Ok. May I ask why you’re calling?
Janice: Well we have found out that the plane you are flying with in a couple of months has been found to have technical problems which may take a very long time to fix.
Maz: That’s not good. So are my flights cancelled?
Janice: We are sorry to say that they are, but we are refunding all your money back to your account and if you would like us to, we can organise a flight back home or to the other places you’re going to at a time of your choice.
Maz: Oh ok. God, that’s terrible. Can I please have your number and when I feel I can call youback to organise my flights?
Janice: Sure. My number is, 9876 4532.
Maz: Awesome. Thank you. Can I call at any time?
Janice: Whenever you need to book. So yes, any time.
Maz: Thanks for the help. Bye.
Janice: Bye.
Nick: Who was that?
Maz: Some lady from the airline I’m flying with. The aeroplane I’ve been booked to fly on has stuffed up and she said it’ll take ages for them to fix it.
Nick: So they refunded all the money and you’re stuck here till when ever you want to leave?
Maz: Yep. And now it’s going to take me forever to ring up all the hotels I’ve booked and tell them I can’t go.
Nick: That sucks. If you need anything, Joe, Kevin and I are always here for you.
Maz: Thanks. *Smiles and hugs Nick*
Nick: No problem.
Maz: Well I’m going to start calling up all my hotels. I’ll talk to you later.
Nick: Ok.

I walk out of his room. Frustrated as hell. Stupid aeroplane. I sit down and start calling my hotels one by one. I’ve probably got a shit load of money in my account now. I call mum who’s back in Australia. I tell her what happens. I ask her if I can stay in America for a couple months longer. She says yes. Hooray! More time with the guys.

After finally settling everything I walk back into the lounge. The guys are watching a movie. We’ve watched way too many movies. I sit next to Joe. They’re quiet. Why? No idea. Oh wait, it’s their favourite scene. After the scene is finished they finally realise I’m there. It was 8pm.

We are so bored. I go to the kitchen and got out a tub of cookies and cream ice cream. I sit there on the couch eating from the tub with a spoon. The guys looked at me and did the same, except with different flavours. Who would have thought that major music stars sit on the couch at home eating a tub of ice cream. Wait a minute. Something just clicked. The guys’ parents hadn’t called yet. Wait, no, they did, 2 nights ago. The guys found out that their granpa was fine. Just a minor heart attack that was all cleared up now. Their parents decided to go on a vacation to the Bahamas. They thought we were old enough to take care for ourselves. And the guys have a heap of money so it doesn’t phase them. This is all ok by me.

Maz: What are we going to do tomorrow?
Joe: Go Karting.
Maz: Really?
Joe: Yeah, it’ll be fun.
Nick: Yeah, sounds like fun.
Kevin: We’ve got this private one, which is really awesome and where no fans can attack us or anything.
Maz: That’s awesome. I can’t wait.
