level: angst 🥀

you sat down at the table at your dining hall. you try you hardest not to look over to where nick is sitting. ziggy notices.

"seriously y/n?" she raises an eyebrow at you. "get over him already."

you look at him then back at the red head who's sitting across from you and the wooden picnic table. you know she's right but you just can't. you really did love him and you're afraid you'll never feel that way again.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

later that day you and ziggy were hanging outside your cabin. you saw nick again. this time with another girl. you didn't seem bothered by it until you saw him caress her cheek. he used to do that to you.

you felt your face get hot and your chest tighten as tears filled the brim of your eyes.

"again y/n?" ziggy says placing a comforting hand around you.

"zig it's just hard. looking at him move on. and her. that girl that he's with. she looks just like me. she has my same hair color. my same eye color. she even has my same fucking body type. it's like she's a carbon copy of everything he wanted me to be." the tears that threatened to spill came flooding down your face. you couldn't hold them back. you ran back into your cabin, ziggy following right behind.

she hugs you, telling you it'll be okay. "listen y/n, you were the blue print because you were the best and he knows he lost you. he knows he'll never get that love you gave him."

"it's just that i'm jealous of her zig. she looks exactly like me, but she's not me and i really wish she was."

"i know you do."

"zig can i be left alone for a little bit?"

"yeah i'll go see what cindy's up to." she smiles before leaving the cabin.

a few moments later you hear a knock at the door. "come back later zig! you know i wanna be alone right now." you yell.

"i don't think you should be though." you look up at the sound of that voice you knew all too well.

"what do you want nick?" you say wiping your eyes.

"i saw you run in here crying. i wanted to check on you."

"why? shouldn't you be out there with your new girlfriend?"

"y/n..."

"no nick i don't wanna hear it. i just wanna know do you think of me when you look at her? do you love her as much as you loved me? I gave you everything, and now your with some lookalike, a replacement. what does she have that i don't it definitely not looks because she looks exactly like me." you say raising your voice at him.

"you know why we broke it off. you weren't ready for a relationship. you're so insecure. you always felt like you weren't good enough and after a while it was hard to deal with it. i had to love you for the both of us." he says raising his voice.

you look at him, then at the floor. he was right. you always struggled with self esteem and insecurities. you could never love yourself so you found people to do it for you.

"get out."

"what?" nick asks, confused.

"get. out." you spit. "i can't believe i ever loved you."

hey y'all sorry for taking forever to update. i hope you liked this though. i decided for something angsty because i've just been feeling that way lately. anyways love you guys!!
