HIM

Chapter 21

Still Wednesday.

I was in math and Nick walked over to me.

"Can we work on this project tonight? We finished science now we have to finish this." He said sitting across from me where my other group member should have sat.

"Yea sure." I said.

"How about we work at my house tonight. Is that okay?" he asked holding my hand.

"Um...totally, yeah I'll meet you there after school I just need to get some things and we'll be good." I said smiling.

All of a sudden I had felt nauseous at the idea of going to Nicks house instead of mine. It just didn't feel right. I felt sick. I didn't want to go to his house. I mean that's his territory he has more authority over there than I do. I mean I've never even been there before. I've driven, walked, biked, and ran past his house just never went in it.

"Okay I'll see you there." And he kissed me on the forehead, and he got up before Nelly sat where she was supposed to.

Everything was going good and dandy until history was a bust, and then lunch finally came around and I saw that awful slut that is always flirting with Nick. Her name was Hailey Florence.

Blonde, hazel brown green eyes. Every guys dream girl. Living in a Barbie world. Her little possie of girls concluded of Stacy Morgan, and Priscilla Fishburne. They were all pretty, and they knew it, but their personalities kind of brought them down you could say ALOT. I mean they had it all so it wasn't that hard.

Currently Stacy had been flirting with my brothers friend Nate who was super cute Sandy blonde surfer hair brightest green eyes you'll ever see, and the best of personality and was from Australia. He moved here in 8th grade but I never got sick of his accent. I loved it when Jordan and him hung out at the house. But now they don't really talk that much.

I knew he wouldn't go for her. He wasn't that type of guy.

She was almost to beautiful. Priscilla was naturally goddess like. They were all seniors but the only one trying to hit on a sophomore was Hailey of all people. She disgusted me. Her ways were awful. She knew I was dating Nick, yet she insisted on being all over him 24/7. Exactly my reason why I act way more flirtatious.

I also especially loved my outfit today. It was a leather jacket with a white halter that had a ying yang crop top and high waisted dark jeans and tan low cut wedges. And my hair was down and wavy like usual. My makeup looked good today so I was all cheers.

Hailey walked over here and was leaning against Nick who was sitting facing her. Why.

"Hey Nick..." She said biting her lip after trying to look seductive. More like retarted.

I hadn't gone to the table yet I just stood back and watched instead.

He seemed a little intrigued and looked around as if he didn't want to be seen by me. He leaned into her ear whispering something and she giggled leaning in closer. He pulled back a little slightly still flirting with her. I nearly had a heart attack. Why would he do this to me?

He inched closer to Hailee and the next thing you know he kissed her. Again. And again. And again.

I walked up to him and loud and proud I spoke.

"We're fucking done and don't even try to fucking persuade me this time." I said walking away swiftly pissed, but was nearly dying inside. I decided to skip the rest of the day at home. I finished our science project and math and thank god it was due next week. Now he will fail and I will tell the teachers he was no help at all.

I was a mess and thankful my mom came home early.

"Hey mom." I said giving her a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Hey honey how was your day today?" She said.

"Nick and I broke up." I said looking down beginning to trace circles on the marble slab of a table.

"Aw honey I'm so sorry. But it's good though, he was never good for you anyways." And she came and gave me a hug.

"I don't know...I guess, I don't know. I just thought maybe this time would be different. Like I thought he actually cared. I guess I was wrong." I said beginning to tear up but stopped.

He's not worth it. I won't cry.

"There will always be the bad and always be the good. I promise you that honey. Your father, he was the bad but man was he so good but so bad you know. That's what I loved. He was different from everybody else,yet he was still bad so it wasn't uncommon that he cheated." She said doing some dishes and finished the sentence softly to herself.

I just stayed quiet and trailed off to my room. I checked my phone and had three texts. Two from Paulina, one from Danielle.

*hey where were you at lunch or after school? Danielle and I couldn't find you. Hope your okay. Kisses- Paulina, Danny.

*hey we can't find you. Text us if your alive. HEARTS ALL AROUND!-Danny.

So caring they were. I laughed to my self at their texts, and Just cleared my phone and took a nap.

I woke up to my phone buzzing and I answered it.

"Hello?"
I asked wondering who it was.
"Hello there gorgeous, I heard what happened between you and Nick. I'm really sorry." Brandon. How sweet of him to call, but I wasn't in the mood.

"Oh yeah. Haha thanks for calling. But I'm okay to be honest. It was for the best."

"Okay well I just wanted to check up on you. Make sure this isn't taking a big toll on you."

"No, no, it's good. I don't really care all that much. I'll be okay."

"Okay well let me know if you need anything. Or need me there. I got you covered." And I could totally feel the wink in his voice.

"Thank you Brandon."

End of conversation.
