More Than I Expected.

-Chapter Three-

Nikki's POV.

I slowly crept downstairs to see if Carter was down there, she wasn't. I sighed to myself realizing it was 9 in the morning, partly wishing for someone to walk downstairs any minute now, thankfully someone did, it was Jc, not quite who I wanted but oh well. "Hey, Jc" I said, which seemed to startle him, he looked up & smiled " it's a little early dontcha' think?" he said while sitting down on a spiny chair. I shrugged, "back in New York it'd be nearly 12 in the afternoon." he didn't say anything back, just took his phone out & began scrolling on what I assumed was twitter.

A few moments later, "can I talk to you about something?" he said, breaking the awkward silence that surrounded us. "sure," I said sitting down across from him, "what's up?" he hesitated before speaking, "well last night, me & Carter went to U.S open, & while we we're walking back.." he stopped, not wanting to say anything else, I could tell he felt embarrassed, "Jc, it's alright, you can trust me, I won't say anything to anyone." I noticed he felt a little more relieved, "well it's started to rain," he continued "and then I kissed her."

It took me a few seconds to reply cause I knew Carter had just went to the movies with Kian before she was with Jc, it made me feel guilty knowing this but I didn't want to tell him, "aw that's so cute! but I-..I don't see the problem?" He sighed knowing he had no choice but to go on, "the problem is Kian likes her, he almost always has, & he's my Bestfriend so I feel sorta guilty, he's hers yenno? I shouldn't have feelings for her." he said looking down, clearly feeling ashamed of what he just said to me.

"Oh Jc, I get why you feel guilty, but you can't help your feelings for her, plus she isn't Kian's, she's nobody's-" I got cut off by Carter walking in, "who isn't 'nobody's'?" she said quoting me, I looked over at Jc & shook my head, "oh no one, we were just, just um, talking about a girl Jc likes..right Jc?" "yeah," he nodded. "we'll talk later, alright Jc?" "mhm" he mummbled.

Carter's P.O.V.

"we'll talk later, alright Jc?" those words took awhile to process in my head, I didn't like what was going on, it made me so suspicious, I swear she better not like him or something. "Oh.." I managed to squeak out, opening the cabinet grabbing a clear glass cup & pouring orange juice into sitting down beside Nikki & pulling out my phone, texting Jc instead of making it more awkward by saying something aloud.

"What were you guys talking about..?" I hesitantly pressed send, he almost immediately got it, he looked at the text then just locked his phone, setting it on the island counter we were sitting at. wow okay I thought to myself, "that hurt" I thought & laughed to myself. "or ignore me, that's cool to." I said getting up & walking upstairs to Kian's room to see if he was awake.

He wasn't, I sighed to myself & lightly sat on top of him, sort of placing myself where his lap would be but a little higher up, hoping he'd wake up but he didn't. I just sat there looking down on him, he looked so-..so precious, his perfect jawline, soft plump lips, he was perfect. I placed my hands on his chest & slowly leaned down & kissed his cheek, sitting back up, "wake up kiaan." he didn't even budge, "c'mon you bum," I spoke again, he smirked & opened his eyes, "you faker!" I whisper yelled, he laughed, "I've been awake the entire time, even before you came in." "psh, that'll be the last time I come in here & try to wake you up." he stuck his bottom lip out pretending to pout, "not falling for ittt." I said, while crossing my arms. "fine" he said & poked my stomach which led to tickling me, & before I knew it his body was hovering above mine. He lent down & softly pressed his lips to mine, & one of the worst things that could've happened, happened.

Jc walked in.

I couldn't have felt more stupid pushing Kian off of me in the middle of him kissing me but I didn't know what else to do, I guess it was a panic move. "Jc..I..-" he cut me off, "save it, apparently last night meant shit to you!" he said, making me cringe at how loud he had gotten. "last night?" Kian spoke up before I could say anything, "yeah, she didn't tell you? we went to U.S open lastnight, AND we kissed, in the rain, now isn't that something." he said in a sarcastic tone, Kian looked at me and I could just see the frustration in his eyes, "You guys don't understand-" I once again got cut off but by Kian this time, "not only did you lie to me, but you kissed my Bestfriend!" I hated this so much, I just wanted it to stop, before it got any worse.

I looked over Jc's shoulder to see Nikki & Connor standing behind him. "what the fuck is going on?" Nikki said, stepping beside Jc, "we can hear you guys yelling from downstairs!" I put my head in my hands, could this get any worse, I thought to myself. "She cheated on me!" Kian said unexpectedly. I immediately shot my head up. "What are you talking about? We aren't even dating!" I yelled back, watching as he reddened. Clearly feeling embarrassed he got up & left the room brushing against Jc's shoulder.

Nikki sat down beside me on the bed while Connor brought Jc to another room to talk to in private, I supposed. We sat there in silence for what seemed like ages but was only nearly a minute before Nikki broke the silence that surrounded us, "so what happened?" she said cautiously. "you already know, I went to the movies with Kian lastnight, told him I didn't feel 'good'-" I said quoting myself, "then went to U.S open with Jc, and we kissed and stuff, then when I was in here, Kian kissed me and Jc just happened to walk in.."

I could feel the tears burning in my eyes but I refused to let myself cry in front of anyone, no matter what. "It's your own fault, Carter." she said rather bluntly, "gee, thanks." I said blankly, rolling my eyes. "You knew this would happen, you're making yourself seem like a whore, and I'm starting to believe that's what you are." she said with absolutely no explainable expression. "excuse me? I don't know what your problem is, but you needa chill the fuck out, one; I'm not a fucking whore, did I have sex with them? no, so that's completely irrelevant, and two; you have no right to-" I stopped myself, "yenno what? forget it, I'm a whore, whatever, I'm gonna pack my stuff and board the next flight back to New York, so y'all won't have to worry about me anymore, alright!?" I screamed, while ripping my clothes out of the draws, & stuffing them into my suitcase.

"Carter!" "Carter stop!" I could feel someone pulling my arm, I didn't know who it was, I didn't care either. I couldn't take all this though, I could hear three different voices screaming at each other behind me, while two others were screaming at me to stop. I turned around, "WILL Y'ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP?! YOUS ARE MAKING EVERYTHING SO MUCH WORSE!" I screamed loud enough that probably people from miles away could've heard me, it got silent, and everyone just stared at each other, then everyone's eyes fell on me.

I wish I had thought of something to say after this happened, but I didn't, I had absolutely nothing to say so I stood there looking like a complete idiot, while everyone's heads hung to the floor, and all I could say was, "I'm sorry," everyone looked back up at me, "I shouldn't have kissed Jc & Kian, so I'm sorry to both of you, and sorry to everyone else who had to deal with this, but you won't have to worry anymore because I'm going back to New York.." silence fell upon us again.

"No, you aren't." I looked up to see a red, puffy eye'd Jc. Why were his eyes like that? Had he been crying? So many questions were running through my head. "You can't just leave, it was only a small argument, everything will blow over soon, I mean yeah, I'm pretty fucking pissed but I'll get over it, just like Kian will, and just like you, should." He said emphasizing the "you." "A small argument? Jc, do you not recall what just happened? All this happened because of me, so it'd be better off if I just went back home."

We talked for a few more minutes, & within that few minutes he had convinced me to stay. After all that I took a shower to think and went to at least try and talk to Kian.

Once I got to his bedroom door, all I wanted to do was just turn around and go back to my room, but I had to talk to him, whether he forgives me or not. I took a deep breath & knocked on the door, "Kian..?" I said while slowly opening the door, "Can we talk.." He looked up at me & nodded, so I went in, shut the door, & sat on the bed. "I'm sorry.." I mumbled loud enough for him to hear me. "it's fine." I looked up at him wide eyed, "fine? that's it?" "yup." he said popping the p. Well that made me feel pretty damn stupid, "well alright," I spoke slowly, getting up, "bye." I said, listening for him to say something back, but he didn't, so I left, & went to bed.
