You: hey.
Tayler: where are you?
You: home.
Tayler: can you come get me?
You: I can't drive.
Tayler: it's not a big deal. I don't live that far away.
You: no Tayler, can't you walk home?
Tayler: no we can't.
You: we?
Tayler: yea we can't.
You: who's we?
Dixie: is your friend coming to get us or not?
Tayler: hold on, I'm talking to her right now babe.
You: find your own way home.
You throw your phone in the back of the car and look up, trying not to cry.

Nick: hey... you ok?
You: he called her babe. And I'm apparently just his friend.
Nick: I'm sorry..
You: can I stay with you?
Nick: oh.. yea, but what about Tayler?
You: idk maybe Dixie can move in or something. I really could care less.
Nick: I'm sorry...
You: it's fine. I should have known this wasn't going to last long.
Nick: you should have known what wasn't gonna last?
You: Tayler and I are- were kind of dating..
nick: I'm sorry.
You: it's fine Nick. Can we just go get my stuff before he comes home?
Nick: yea.

You get to Taylers house and run inside with nick to get your bags.

Wendy: hey hunny- oh.. who's this?

Tayler: if you go, I'm done.
You: ok you know what Tayler, we're done.
Tayler: no, If you walk out that door you're not welcome here anymore and I'm never talking to you again.
You: bye Tayler.
Tayler: are you stupid?!
You: what?!
Tayler: you could lose all this for that loser?
You: nick is not a loser, bye Tayler.
Tayler: I didn't even like you. I just wanted to keep you away from him.
You: well that didn't work, did it?

You and nick leave, Tayler slams the door behind you.

Nick: I'm sorry.
You: it's not your fault.
Nick: I wanna show you something.
You: what is it?
Nick: we'll have to wait to go because.. we'll you'll see.
you: ok, I can't wait.

You go to nicks house and explain everything to Madi.

Madi: I'm so sorry babe.
You: I should have known.
Madi: so sleepover?!
You: yeah I guess.
Madi: yay!!!

You and Madi go upstairs and talk until she falls asleep. You toss and turn for a while but can't sleep so you decide to go see if Nick is still awake.

Nick: hey
You: you're still awake?
Nick: yea, I can't sleep.
You: me neither.
Nick: wanna come watch tiktoks with me?
You: sure.

After a few minutes you start to doze off laying against Nick.
