Nick came over after school the next day, we walked to my house together
he was holding my hand on the way to my house. I was scared to tell her, what was she going to think? Would she think im lying? would she tell me 'just eat its not that hard' my mind was racing with the worst possible outcome.
"hey.." nick said getting my attention. his words interrupted my thoughts and im so glad it did or else i would've started to break down.
"uh sorry im just thinking." i replied looking down, Nick stopped and let go of my hand standing in front of me, he held my shoulders and made sure i was making complete eye contact with him
"im here okay, im sure your mom will understand. No matter what happens, everything will be okay"
i smiled and almost started to cry tears of joy, he doesnt understand how grateful i am for him.
"i dont deserve you Nick."
"you deserve the world y/n." He replied
he grabbed my hand continuing our walk.
we were standing there on my front door step, i was afraid to walk in. But i pushed through it. I opened my front door walking in.
"y/n? is that you?" my mom shouted
"yeah, its me! Nick is here too!" i shouted back as we began to walk further into my house to find my mom.
"Oh hello Nick, how are you?" She asked
"im fine, thanks" He replied with a smile "how about you?"
"Im alright, would you like to stay for dinner?" She asked
Nick looked at me and just the thought of having to sit in front of Nick and my mom to eat made my stomach ache.
"yeah, sure" Nick replied with a smile
"alright then" my mom said about to walk away
Nick looked at me and nodded
"mom wait" i said
she turned and looked at me
i looked at her not knowing what else to say, i opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.
"darling are you alright?" she asked walking up to me
"could we maybe sit down, in the living room" Nick spoke
my mom looked confused but we headed to the living room.
Nick sat next to me and my mom sat on the couch across from us
"i've been keeping something from you for a long time, mom."
"i've lied to you"
Nick held my hand
my mom looked panicked.
"are you two having sex!" my mom exclaimed
me and nick both blushed
"What! no no no no! Thats not what im trying to say!" I replied trying not to laugh
she let out a breath almost sounding relieved
"alright, well you can tell me anything love, go on its alright."
I looked at Nick then back to my mom
"I think i may have..and eating disorder" i said
Nick looked down, hearing me say that didnt just make him sad but it hurt him.
"darling i..what do you mean?" she said sounding concerned
"I havent eaten three full meals in months." i stated
Everyone in the room was silent.
"im sorry" i said looking down "i cant even put it to words just-" i was about to say
"darling, you dont have to apologise or explain yourself to me." she said
she walked over to me and knelt down in front of me holding my other hand
"im so sorry if i made you feel like you couldnt tell me sooner." she said
she stood up and hugged me kissing me head
the rest of the night just just consisted of a lot of talking, crying and hugging.
"im so sorry you had to go through that" i said wiping my eyes as we walked into my room
"no no its fine, im glad i could help." Nick replied
"im so happy and proud of you for talking about it" Nick said
"i dont think i would have been able to if you werent here" i replied with a shy smile
he walked up to me caressing my face with his palm
"your so strong y/n"
Soon Nick had to go home, he said good bye to me before walking out my front door.
I watched him turn the corner to walk home. I got a sudden urge in my legs building up to my chest, i slipped on a pear of sandals and sprinted out the door, my heart was racing and i had a huge smile on my face, the cold wind hitting my face making my hair blow in the wind.
Nick heard my footsteps and turned around seeing me running towards him, he smiled and stopped walking.
When i was close enough to him, i jumped wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, he quickly caught me. everything felt like it was in slow motion.
There was a street light above us being the perfect spotlight, i gazed into his eyes and his lips curved into a smile, that smile that gets my heart beating quicker everytime.
Adrenaline was coursing through my veins, he made me so happy.
"Did i leave something?"
I just giggled "i just need to say thank you one more time"
I brought one hand up to the side of his neck closing my eyes bringing our faces closer to eachother, closing the gab between us pressing my lips onto his.
it was so passionate and and soft, once our lips connected it felt like nothing could stop us.
his hand went up to the back of my head, we pulled away and we both just smiled brightly, he pulled me close hugging me tight spinning me around.
He sat me back down and just made complete eye contact, it felt like we could read eachothers minds.
"good night Nick" i giggled before running back to my house.
Nick stood there completely dumbfounded, surprised, and electric.
he ran his fingers through his hair trying to process what just happened, but he was glad it happened.
Nicholas Nelson never would have imagined how much of an impact the 'new girl' would have on him.
