A Little Bit Longer

Chapter 1

Marissa's pov

"Marissa you have a visitor" nurse Hillary smiled as I looked up from my phone

"Oh I do?! Probably my mom huh ?" I laughed while rolling my eyes, but in walked Nick.

"Heard you go home tomorrow, lucky" he laughed

"Yeah but I'll be back and you know it" I laughed too and he sat on my bed

"You look better. How's the scarring this time?" He asked and I lifted my shirt

"Staples still in tact they come out tomorrow before I leave. When do you go home?"

"When they can get my sugar level down some more. Still unsure of why it's so high" he looked around and got closer

"Probably because they give me my glucose before every test!" He whispered and my heart skipped a beat

"Oh goodness tell the nurses!" I laughed and walked over to the nightstand with the IV in my arm.

"How's Olivia?" I asked changing the topic.

"She visited me last night to see how I was but that's all."

"Sounds fun. Being in a relationship with a model" I laughed and looked out the window towards the ocean. Perfect view for a hospital.

"Yeah I guess. But I'm also a Jonas Brother didn't you know!" He laughed and I giggled some.

"But you're just an average guy in here. Always have been to me." I smiled

"Yeah.. You're right. I wish you could actually see me outside of here. But I don't want any stories stirring. You know p-"

"Paparazzi" I said and he nodded.

"Dinner will be here soon. Lets have a little date" he smiled that crooked smile of his.

"Sure Nicky."

We sat on the hospital bed watching movies on the tv and eating dinner. Joe came to visit both of us and pulled Nick aside whispering things back and forth.

"Okay well I need to get going. See you soon?" Joe smiled and hugged me

"Of course!" I grinned and sat on my bed.

"I'm exhausted" I sighed

"Me too. Mind if I sleep in here ? Gonna miss my best friend." Nick asked and I nodded

"Of course anything you want. Still gonna text each other every day?"

"Yes. Can't lose touch with you" he grinned to me and we lied back in our beds.

"Jonas, Nesbitt. You know you can't do this" nurse Rebecca laughed

"C'mon Becca it's Marissa's last night"

"Fine! I'll be back to check on you guys" she shook her head and left

Nicks pov

Hours had passed it was 1am and Marissa had finally fallen asleep. I looked at my phone and had zero texts from Olivia, two from my mother asking how Marissa and I were and one from Kevin. I looked over and saw her falling into a deeper sleep.

"Goodnight Marissa. I love you" I mumbled and put my phone on the self next to me before it finally went off from Olivia.

iMessage from Liv:

Nick, appearance at hospital tomorrow visiting you. Xo

I locked my phone and shook my head. Somehow Olivia and I went from perfect to showbiz in a matter of minutes. But if we end then I'm the bad guy. She'll put on a show. I unlocked my phone and responded

iMessage to Liv:

make it after 3pm. Marissa leaves tomorrow. Want to spend time with her. Goodnight.

I placed my phone back on the shelf, turning over sighing humming some music while my eyes closed and I nearly drifted until I reopened them and looked over as Marissa turned over revealing her newest tattoo, possibly my favorite. It read "a little bit longer and I'll be fine"
