1.9 | missing you

LINA'S POV |

i awake to the sound of my ringtone and open my eyes finding the vibrating phone next to me on the bed. i rub my eyes before grabbing the phone and seeing bree's caller ID. i clear my throat and sit up pressing the phone against my ear.

"morning bree." i say as i hear my morning voice and cringe.

"morning lina! im sorry to wake you but i really need to talk to you." her voice sounded distressed as i furrow my brows.

"don't worry it's fine, what's up?" i ask fixing my hair in the mirror across the room.

"well i was hoping we could talk in person maybe?" bree asks as i sigh and nod even though she can't see me.

"yeah of course, i'll be there in a couple minutes." i reply looking at the clock on my desk.

"thanks lina, i'll see you then." bree responds with a happier tone causing me to slightly smile.

"bye." i hang up looking around my room for a bit before getting up. i find myself running into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. i run back into my room and touch up my face before going downstairs and grabbing my apron. i search for the recipe book in despair not being able to find it. i look around and spot it on top of the shelf and groan realizing i can't reach it.

"NICK!" i yell as i wait a couple seconds for a response.

"YES?"

"COME DOWNSTAIRS!" i yell back out as he groans in annoyance and i start to take out bowls and utensils.

"evangeline, why are you cooking....?

"baking." i correct him as he rolls his eyes.

"baking... at this time?" he asks leaning on the wall at the entrance of the kitchen.

"i need you to get mom's recipe book from up there." i signal pointing as he turns to look and stares at me bewildered.

"that's what you called me down for?" he asks as i reply with a simple 'mhm.'

"you still haven't answered my question." nick replies crossing his arms as i stare back at him blankly.

"and you still haven't gotten me that book." i point once again to the book as hesitantly turns around and grabs the book from the shelf.

"i'm assuming the baking correlates to what happened between you and adam yesterday?" nick asks as he hands me the book. we sit in silence as i flip through the book looking for the recipe.

"and i'm assuming the silence means i'm correct?" he states as i look up at him for a second before looking back down flipping the pages.

"lina... i'm sure you two will work it out. you're the best person i know and you have the sweetest heart. adam will realize that soon but right now maybe he just wants some time alone?" nick says as i stop at my desired page and look back up at him.

"thanks. i just want to drop these off for them as a start i guess? but either way i'm going to go talk to bree anyway, not adam or chase." i respond as he nods and i look back down pulling out the ingredients.

"snickerdoodles, make extra for me?" nick asks taking a peek at the recipe.

"always for you." i reply as he smiles before leaving me alone in the kitchen.
