“Nic! Where have you been?” my mom asked as soon as I walked through the door. I spent the whole day at Louis’ and now it’s like black outside so I guess she has a reason to be worried. I was about to answer her when my dad walked into the room.
“Yes Nichole. Where have you been? It looks like you cracked your lip open and someone stitched it.” His eyes narrowed but he kept his voice even.
“I stayed at Louis’.” I smiled at mom who suddenly looked worried.
“I told you to stay away from him.” My dad stated.
“Yeah that’s exactly why I went.” I smirked and he flinched, but kept his cool.
“He’s bad for you.” He added. He actually sounded like he cared and that made me want to puke.
“Like you’re any better.” I spat.
“You ungrateful bitch!” I braced myself for the hit, but someone knocked at the door. He calmed down and answered it. “Hello?”
“Hey is Nic there?” I heard the familiar voice and smiled.
“Will!” I pushed past my dad and into my new best friend’s arms. He sits next to me in Math and homeroom and we’ve been talking about hanging out for weeks, but never really doing it. He has blonde hair and gorgeous brown eyes. He was wearing loose black jeans with a blue shirt under a red jacket. “What are you doing here?” he smiled and I about died. Did I tell you I had a major crush on him? Well I do.
“Want to hang out?” I nodded before heading towards his car.
“Nichole! Aren’t you going to ask?” my dad yelled from the doorway.
“Nope.” I said popping the ‘p’. Will knew about my dad being mean, but not about the beatings. Only Louis knew about them. “Let’s go!” I yelled to Will who was still on my porch. I textBlaine.
Hanging out with Will! Ahhhhh! <3
She would absolutely die. Once we were driving my phone vibrated.
What about Louis! D:
I didn’t even think about him. We weren’t even friends really. At school he ignored me and was a total dick, but when we were having our ‘study group’ he was nice and sweet. “Hey, are you okay?” Will asked.
“Yeah I just have a lot on my mind.” He nodded.
“Well. Are you ready to go watch some hockey?” I smiled.
“Yes sir!” he laughed and we walked hand-in-hand into the stadium.
********************
“That was great! Did you see him break that guy’s face?” Will laughed at me and nodded.
“I’ve never met a girl so into a hockey game before.” He reached into the popcorn bucket and I smiled.
“It’s because I’m special.” I made a weird face and he laughed.
“Yeah something like that.” I threw some popcorn at him and he stopped. “It’s on!” I threw the whole bucket at him and ran away. “Nic!” I was laughing so hard I had to stop and he caught me.
“No! Let me go!” I yelled as he tickled my sides. “Will!” he laughed at me and let me go. “Jerk.” I mumbled before punching his shoulder. Anger flashed on his face.
“Don’t ever hitme.” He said seriously before throwing me over his shoulder and all anger was gone. Okay?
“Will! Where are we going?” I asked. When he didn’t answer me I started pinching his butt. “William!” he laughed before dropping me. “Ow.” I looked at the pond in front of us. You could here the crickets and frogs. It was so beautiful at night. “If you wouldn’t have dropped me I would be enjoying this.” He smiled.
“I’m sorry babe.” I rolled my eyes and lay down on the grass. He laid beside me and sighed. “I had fun tonight watching you get mad over hockey.”
“I bet you did.” I smiled and he propped himself up.
“I should probably get you home.” I sighed and pouted. “Or I could just kidnap you?” I smiled but there was a hint of seriousness in his voice. I shrugged it off and he helped me up. We were so close that nothing but air was between us. “So I have this crazy idea that we should kiss.” I smiled.
“It’s not that crazy.” He laughed and closed the gap between us. It made me forget about both of our past. He's been arrested and I've been beat. It goes to show how to imperfect people can still be loved. On the way home I sent Blaine a text.
What about Louis? :)
I don't like Louis, was all I kept saying but I knew secretly that it was a lie.
