Aurora's POV
I wake up with my arm asleep, still sitting on the couch with my head propped on my worn out hand. I stretch and look across the dark room over to the glowing clock that reads 3:00 AM. I yawn and take my shoes off so that I can curl up on the couch and fall back asleep. I lay there for a few minutes with eyes wide open not feeling a bit tired. I can't believe I had the opportunity to give Nick Jonas my phone number just in case he actually wanted to maybe text me or something, and I didn't do it. Actually I can believe it. Why do I always do this? Why do I always give in to every little fear? It's so pathetic. I hate that about myself. I always run. Why can't I for once, stand up and speak my mind? Instead I delay and run and hide. I sigh and sit up to put my shoes back on. I grab my phone just in case, shove it carelessly into my pocket, and quietly leave the house. After wandering aimlessly down the sidewalk for a few minutes I decide to walk to the beach. The beach is amazing. I love to go there and just walk and think. There's something about the sound of the waves repeatedly crashing onto the shore that helps me think straight. And there's something about the salty, fresh smell in the air that helps ease the questions that are always flowing back and forth through my mind. I get there and begin to take deep breathes while walking my usual route along the sea line. I trip over someone's legs and fall right into the wet sand.
Someone grabs my arm to help me up and says- I'm so sorry I didn't see you walking
I get up with the help of the stranger and fumble to brush off the sand from my knees- No I'm sorry. I had no idea someone was sitting there.
I looks up to the face of the person I had kicked while walking, only to find a beautiful smile below two gorgeous brown eyes upon a face that I know well.
Nick- Who would have thought that I'd run into you again tonight
I say back while still in complete shock- What are you doing here?
Nick- I could ask the same to you
Me- You first
Nick- I like to come down to the beach at night. Something about the sound of the waves and the smell of the sea salt helps me think. You?
Me- Heh, it's kinda the same reason for me too
Nick- Ha, something we have in common, huh? That's awesome
Me- Ya
It goes awkwardly silent a few seconds. I felt like turning away and running back to my house but not after the criticism I just put myself through. No. I was not going to run this time. So now that's settled....what do I say to him?
I stumble on my words swallowing hard nervously- Would you.... maybe like to walk with me?
Nick seeing how nervous I was, smiled and replied- Sure
We turned and walked quietly along the shore. I felt so juvenile because I didn't know his normal pace and I was afraid I was going to fast so I slowed. Then he slowed cause I did, so I sped up a little and I swear I heard him quietly chuckle. We fell into perfect pace with one another and kept walking, both staring at our shoes and completely silent. I finally decide to speak up only to find us both talking at once
Me-I'm sorry I left so quickly earlier
Nick- I'm sorry I didn't say much earlier
Me-Oh it's fine
Nick- No big deal
Me-Sorry go ahead
Nick- Sorry, go on
We both laugh and fall silent again.
Nick- I'm sorry I freaked you out earlier. I could tell you felt uncomfortable by me.
Me- Oh nick, you didn't freak me out at all. You're perfectly fine.
Nick- then why'd you run inside so fast and why did you excuse yourself to the bathroom right when I got to your table?
I sigh- Well... you see.... well I.....to tell you the truth....... I was just afraid
Nick- Ah. I see. Well, are you afraid now?
Me- To be honest, yes. Just a bit
Nick brushed the back of my hand with the back of his very subtly- Well, you don't have to be afraid of me. I won't hurt you. I promise
I smile and look out to the ocean so that he can't see my face
Nick- So, if you don't mind me asking, what was on your mind that you came to the beach to think about?
Me- Well..... You actually
