Deep Thoughts || Nick Sturniolo

36 TW: Blood and Trauma

Nick sighed deeply, still holding on to confused Hailey's wrist.

But when Hailey saw who was standing at the door, she forgot about Nick randomly pulling away immediately.

"I thought I told you that Nick doesn't need you, Lucas. Why are you here after I told you not to?" Hailey said, stepping in front of Nick so that Lucas couldn't try to touch Nick.

"I really need to talk to Nick, alone." Lucas said as he desperately looked at Nick for a hint of sympathy. But his face was as cold as ice.

Lucas sighed as he accepted that this wasn't going to be easy, but he was desperate.

"Please Nick." He said softly, before he felt a strong shove from beside him which made him fall to the ground.

"I thought there was going to be no funny business Lucas." Matt's overprotective personality came through, making Lucas feel fear.

"Just hear me out Nick, please." Lucas said, getting up and brushing himself off.

Nick stood there for a moment, still not saying anything.

"You should go, Lucas. You can't expect me to want to talk to you after what you did." Nick said, pushing his eyes to the ground so that he didn't feel bad for Lucas.

"No, Nick please. I figured it out. That..uh-" Lucas was cut off by someone pinning him against the wall next to the hotel room door.

"He told you..to leave." Matt's booming voice said through gritted teeth and Lucas was almost in tears by this point.

"How dare you stalk me, come to my hotel room and just expect me to forgive you Lucas." Nick said, stepping out of the room so he could properly look at him.

Lucas pleaded Nick with his eyes and Nick just blocked it with a cold glare.

"What's going on out here?" Chris asked as he walked out of the hotel room door to see Matt pinning a guy against the wall. Chris couldn't see the guys face because Nick was standing in front of him.

"Woah Matt. What are you doing dude?" He said as he went to stand next to Matt so he could see the guys face.

"Lucas?" He questioned before flicking his eyes around at everyone who was still looking at the guy.

"He came to talk to Nick." Matt grunted out as he was still using all his strength to keep Lucas pinned to the wall.

"Please let me go Matt." Lucas struggled, trying to find Matt's weak spot. But luckily for Matt, he doesn't have one.

So Matt pushed Lucas down to the ground before finally letting go and Lucas rubbed his wrists in pain from the tight grip.

"Fuck you Lucas." Chris said, pushing Lucas back down when he tried to get back up.

"Nick. I figured myself out. I-" Lucas was cut off by Nick.

"Oh? You finally figured out that you belong in the mental hospital you psycho?"

"I know that you hate me but I just have to say-"

"Yeah, I do hate you Lucas. I don't think you understand how much of a passion I have for it."

"Nick."

"And to think that you thought that I would welcome you back into my life with open arms."

"NICK."

"You can't just ghost me and expect me to love you the second you come back-"

"Nick I'm in love with you."

Silence.

Nick finally looked down at him and into his eyes, to see a genuine look.

"Well you already had your chance Lucas. Goodbye." Nick said and went to walk back into his hotel room when Lucas jumped up quickly and weaved through everyone's dodging attempts to grab him. He ran quickly behind Nick and slipped into the room, locking the door behind him and grabbed Nick's hand.

Nick soun quickly to see Lucas holding forcefully onto him.

"Lucas let go."

"No. I need to explain."

"Okay Lucas. Explain yourself. Explain to me how you lied about your sexuality for clout. How you were hooking up with a girl the whole time we were together. How you tried to bribe me to keep my mouth shut. How you ghosted me for two fucking years. Explain to me why you fucking played with my heart and then left it in pieces. All for fucking clout." Nick blurted out which left Lucas in silence.

Lucas had never heard it all out loud together. And it felt horrible.

Lucas was speechless as a single tear slid down Nick's cheek.

"Nick. I know that what I have done is unforgivable. And I don't deserve you. And I was stupid to lie to you about myself. But I was scared. And I figured out that I do truly love you. I don't want clout or money. I want you." Lucas whispered, inching closer to Nick and reached to wipe his tear.

"Sorry fucking excuse." Nick said as he took a step back and slapped Lucas's hand away, hard.

Lucas winced in pain and looked back up at Nick who had an emotionless expression.

"Nick, I love you. I only love you."

"Oh yeah? Tell that to the fucking 16 year old girl too were hooking up with. You're a fucking perv Lucas. So just get the fuck out of my room and whilst you're doing that, get the fuck out of my life. I don't need you. I don't love you anymore Lucas. I'm over you. So just leave." Nick said stepping back towards Lucas and pushing him backwards forcefully.

Lucas scurried backwards as Nick looked like he was going to push him again and fled for the door.

But just as he reached the door, the door was kicked open at it smacked Lucas right in the face with the door handle.

He flopped to the ground unconscious as Chris barged in and saw the floppy boy on the floor, he heard a shriek.

He looked up to see Chloe.
