Chapter 3
“Nick!” I said, literally jumping into his muscular arms.
“Woah are you trying to kill me?” he asked chuckling. He wrapped me into a tight hug and lifted me up, spinning me around in a circle.
“No, but I’ve just missed you so much! It’s been months since I saw you last, and you just surprised me is all.” I said as I jumped out of his arms and went to greet Kevin and Joe, but I noticed they were already inside talking to Liss and Jess.
“Well, I wanted it to be a surprise and you have no idea how much I’ve missed you as well!” he said, looking deep into my eyes. I looked back into his dark chocolate brown eyes, our faces grew closer. I leaned into his face and our lips were inches apart and I could feel his breath. “Come on, let’s go inside.” He said, grabbing my hand and leading me inside. His hands were warm but mine were freezing. His warmth sent a tingle down my spine and gave me butterflies in my stomach. I could not have butterflies because of Nick, he was my best friend. I can’t have feelings for him, it would ruin everything. I couldn’t be falling for him.
“Joe! Kevin!” I said, after entering the living room again. I was engulfed by two huge hugs from both of the boys.
“Amy! We have missed you! And so has Frank the Tank, he will be so excited when he hears you are coming…” Joe was cut off midsentence by Nick who was behind me, making gestures with his hands and mouthing ‘no’ behind my back. “…to dinner with us.” Joe finished his sentence.
“All of a sudden I heard Nick’s cell phone ring, he answered it and he was smiling. “Hey babe,…no I’m at Amy’s house…no she’s my best friend, you know I only like you….I love you too, I’ll call you later.” He said into his phone. He hung up and looked up and we were all staring at him.
“Sorry about that guys, it was Emma, my girlfriend. She was checking up on me like she is my mom or something.” He said to us all.
Girlfriend, of course he has a girlfriend. He is pretty much the cutest guy on the planet. But wait, I can’t think that, he’s my best friend. I can’t possibly think my best friend is hot, or could I? and why was my heart so crushed when I heard he had a girlfriend. Maybe I was really falling for him, falling in love with my best friend, with a rock star.
“She seriously needs to stop being so clingy with you dude!” Joe said to Nick.
“She just wanted to make sure I was alright, that’s all.” Nick argued back.
“And it doesn’t seem a little creepy that she calls you every minute of the day bro?” Kevin added in.
“Okay well maybe a little, okay yes.” Nick said agreeing with his brothers.
By this time Jessica, Alissa, and I were all staring at Nick with shock on our faces. So many thoughts were running through my head, the first one was why was my heart so crushed? I knew Nick didn’t like me like that. But why hadn’t he told me that he had a girlfriend? Back there it seemed like we had almost kissed. All those text messages, what did they even mean? I meant nothing to him, nothing at all. That’s what I kept telling myself over and over. Why did he hurt me? With so many emotions in my head I knew only one way to relieve the stress.
“Umm, I need to use the umm…I need to go to the bathroom?” I said, almost asking it as a question, trying to make any excuse to leave the room.
“Oh no.” Alissa said as I ran out of the room.
“Crap.” Nick said thinking the exact same thing as Alissa.
“What’s going on?” Kevin asked confused.
“I have to go find her.” Nick said as he hurried out of the room, sprinting up the stairs taking them practically 3 at a time.
“Just let him go and get her.” Joe said, holding Alissa back.
“But I’m her best friend, she needs me.” Alissa spoke.
“But maybe she just needs Nick right now.” Jessica added in and Joe nodded in agreement.
MEANWHILE UPSTAIRS!
“Amy, Amy sweetie please answer me.” Nick said. He was desperately opening all of the bedroom doors until he saw a light on in the bathroom. He knocked on it lightly, “Amy, please can I come in?” he heard no answer. He tried to turn the door knob but realized it was locked. “Crap well its good that I know were the keys are hidden.” He said, reaching along the door frame. He felt a key and grabbed it and slid it into the keyhole and heard a click, opening the door.
I looked up as I heard the door creaking open, and my tear stained eyes met Nick’s. I was sitting on the floor next to the toilet with a bloody knife in my hand. He just stood there pleading with his eyes until I broke the silence.
“The damage is already done Nick. You’re too late this time.”
“That is what I was afraid of.” Nick said as he dropped down onto his knees and took the knife out of my hand. “Why’d you do it this time?” he asked as he moistened a washcloth in the sink.
“I’m a failure.” I said and muttered ouch under my breath as he cleaned the would off.
“What in the world makes you think, for one second that you are a failure?” he said as he finished cleaning the cuts out and rinsing and hanging the washcloth up.
“People make fun of me at school. They all make fun of you and your brothers and it hurts me because you are the only reason I haven’t killed myself.” I finished and Nick brought me a fresh towel and told me to apply pressure.
“That’s a stupid reason for you to do this.” Nick said as he brushed back my bangs that had fallen into my eyes and he whiped off the fresh tears that had begun to fall.
“First off, you are not stupid. And that’s not the only reason. No one wants me, so if no one wants me then why live in agony?” I said and I buried my face in my hands.
“That statement is not true.” He said rubbing my back, causing me to look up.
“Yes it is! No one freaking wants me Nick!” I said angerly.
“No it isn’t Amy! It’s not true!” Nick said, getting frustrated.
“How do you know Nick?” I asked him with more tears falling.
All of a sudden Nick pushed me against the wall and pressed his lips to mine. He pulled my body closer to his as he deepened it but then pulled away.
“How do I know it’s not true? Because I want you.” Nick whispered in my ear and he got up and opened the bathroom door, shutting it gently behind him. Leaving me speechless and even more confused. Does Nick really like me?
