Pretty boy (Nick Sturniolo ff)

Chapter 7

Nick POV

We all left and loaded back into the car. I never knew the "personal reasons" behind why me and Nolan's couldn't date. I seriously thought he would be the one I'd end up with.

My eyes slightly burned as I buckled up, leaning my head on the side of the window. We all sat in the same spots that we were in on the way there.

As we started to drive, I left my hands resting on my lap. I feel Kier's hand slide under mine, holding it firmly. I didn't bother to look. But, I could feel his eyes on me.

Though, it was comforting, I just couldn't get the image of what I saw in the mall out of my head. We soon arrived whole and got out, everyone leaving their stuff in the car.

I was the first one to go to the door and open it, walking into the house. I take off my shoes, going straight to my room.

I walked in and closed my door, laying my stuff down. I fall back into my bed, letting out a deep sigh. I realized I never really checked what Nolan's post was.

I grabbed my phone, going onto instagram and checking his page.

When I clicked on the first post that I saw, it was just a mirror pic of his outfit that he was wearing. Baggy jeans, somewhat oversized shirt, and a few accessories. I swiped to the next one.

It was a pic of his and her feet walking beside each other, along with their hands slightly in the frame.

I run my hand through my hand through my hair and lay my phone down on the bed, turning onto my stomach. I shovel my face into my pillow yawning.

I was in the middle of running through the thoughts in my mind when I was interrupted by a knock and my door creaking open.

I turned back expecting to see Kier but it wasn't.

I tried to focus my blurred vision and once I did I saw Ben looking at me from behind the door.

He spoke up.
"Uh Chris and the rest went back out. He wanted me to tell you. Why he didn't text you," He paused and shrugged his shoulders.

I nod.

Ben POV

As we got back to the house, some part of me could stand Kieran being around Nick. Or hugging all up on him like that.

Isaac blurts out. "I still wanna go out."

Matt and Chris agreed to that. Then Kieran spoke up.

"I'll just stay here and make sure Nick is alrigh-" I interrupted him. "It's fine. You can go out with the rest. I was gonna stay here and take a nap as I didn't sleep much last night. Go ahead." I look at him and put my hands into my pockets.

There was a loud silence as there was clear tension between the both of us.

"Well, come on! And Ben, can you tell Nick please? Thanks!" Says Chris leaving and pulling the boys with him. Kieran still looking at me with a dirty look. And just like that, they disappeared out of my sight.

I shake my head slightly and walk to Nicks room. My hand grabs the door handle, pushing the door open. I speak to him.

He doesn't say anything back to me but just nods. I don't know why but I just talked. "Out of curiosity, why were you crying at the mall?"
