𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 (𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏𝟖)

nick:
what.. the.. fuck. 

me and clay both look at the door and scramble to get off of each other. i get off the bed and stand up. clay stands up behind me.

delilah:
nick, it is not what it looks like.

nick:
well it looks like you guys had your tongue down each other's throats!

delilah:
okay, yes we were kissing... but nick please let me explain.

nick:
seriously lilah? there was one thing i didn't want you to do! it was date him... you couldn't even listen to me. 

clay:
listen nick, it was my faul-

nick:
don't even talk right now! i don't want to hear it clay. 

nick's eyes start to water, he looks at me back at me, making eye contact with me.

nick:
how long has this been going on?

my eyes start to water, i can't lose him.

delilah:
about a month.

nick:
you mean to tell me, you guys have been together for a month and haven't told me yet?

delilah:
yeah, we have. i am sorry! i was going to tell you, i just didn't know how. you didn't approve of us.

he looks away, breaking eye contact. i start to cry, tears rolling down my cheek. clay looks at me and puts his hand on my back to comfort me. nick looks back at us, and sees clay's hand. his eyes shift from me to clay.

delilah:
nick, i love you so much. i can't lose you, but i can't lose clay either. 

clay looks at me and smiles. he grabs my hand, and looks back at nick.

nick:
this makes so much sense, i saw the way you ran up here when we thought clay was hurt... just wait until he breaks your heart. he will, trust me. 

clay:
nick, you know i would never do that to her. 

nick:
well you did it to your ex and you guys were together for three years! lilah, i love you... but i can't handle this right now. 

delilah:
you know nick, maybe you aren't so different than tyler after all.

he looks shocked with what i just said, i can;t believe i just said that. he is nothing like tyler. he goes to walk out of the room but i run and grab his hand. i try to talk but i just stutter, he looks me in the eyes and turns back around and walks out. 

i hear him grab the keys to the car and he walks out of the apartment. 

clay walks up to me and tries to grab my hand. i shoot my hand to my side and keep my body towards the door, not facing him.

clay:
lilah, don't do this. 

he hugs me from behind and it triggers the stream of tears to begin again. i turn around and hug him back, burying my head in his chest and crying. i cry so hard i begin shaking. i can't lose nick, he is my best friend. am i making a mistake not listening to him about clay?
