The Guy Next Door

~Chapter Four ~

~Tasha~

"Yeah Adrianna. Me and Nick have been dating for two months now. It sucks. All he ever does is play with my emotions. I didnt think he'd be like this! He seemed so.... Nice before... And.. Whenever I  threaten to leave him.. He doesn't ever really care. He's kinda.. Threatened my life before..."

I was on the phone with my friend Adrianna, who I haven't talked to in a while.

"Tasha!! You shouldn't stay with a guy that threatens your life!! Why would you!?"

"He only did once.. He didnt mean anything."

"Oh wow. But he plays with your emotions. After what happened with Josh, I'd think you'd know better than to stay with a guy like that."

"Adrianna.. You didnt have to bring Josh into this.. He's not even alive to defend himself!! Don't talk about him. I forbid Nick from talking about him, because he would never shut up about him..."

"Okay, okay.. I'm sorry Tash... I didnt mean it like that.. I've gotta go.. Bye."

"Bye."

Well, that was a 'great' conversation. I soon heard a knock at my door. I got up to open it. It was Nick.

"Hey." He said and smiled.

"Hi."

"What's wrong.?"

"You. You're what's wrong."

"What did I do.!?!?"

He looked curious. Like he really didn't know what he's been doing to me these past two months.

"You know." I squinted at him.

"No, I actually don't know. Maybe it would ring a bell if you told me what I did."

"You play with my emotions! That's what you do! One day you love me, the next day, Im a nothing. I heard you on the phone with your 'fan' the other day! The only thing she's a fan of is your sex!!"

Nicks mouth dropped open. He acted like I didn't hear the whole conversation.

"You... You heard my conversation...?"

"Of course I did you jerk!!! Every last word! I was going to go to your house and surprise you.. But you were being loud and laughing and flirting!" I had tears coming to my eyes.

Nick could tell that i was mad. "Baby, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... We just went to a bar and.."

"A bar!? Oh my god. You're just like Josh!! Couldn't you have said 'Hey, back up. I'm taken.' But noo! You have to go with the flow. And don't call me baby anymore."

"What are you saying, Tasha?"

"Im saying get out of my house. Now."

Nick was surprised. He had never ever heard me tell ANYONE to get out of my house. I knew he knew he did himself wrong this time.

"Okay, but I want you to know... I'm sorry baby. I love you with all of my heart and I would do anything and everything for you. I will make this up to you and I hope you can forgive me. That other girl meant nothing to me, especially compared to you. And if it would make you feel better, I would get my phone out right now, and tell that girl she's nothing to me."

Nick stood there for a few seconds, waiting to see if what he said had helped.

He walked out the door and closed it

I looked out the window, and he had tears coming to his eyes. I ran out before he went into his house.

"Nick!! Don't go!! I'm sorry! Come back! I.. Love you! I'm just being a fool because I don't wanna lose you!"

"You know, Tasha. All you ever talk about is how I play with your emotions. How about how you play with mine!?!? I'm sick and tired of everything being about you, Tasha. You've lost me. And I'm never coming back." I started to crry. We may have been dating for two months, but it seemed like a lifetime.

"Nick! It can't end this way! Please baby.. Come back!" But it was too late. He already walked in his house, never to talk to me again.
