Immortal Feelings (M.E)

Chapter 6

I thought to myself for a couple seconds and then decided to text back.
their text said: "hey y/n"
"who's this?" I replied back.
"it's nick..the kid at the party" he answered.
"oh..uh I don't wanna talk to you" I texted back.
"y/n, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I never meant to let you get that high or drunk that you would pass out. I just wanted you to try it and I'm so sorry. I'm gonna quit smoking and drinking because I realized how stupid it is to risk your life over like 10 minutes of pleasure" he said after about 5 minutes.
"alright, whatever I guess it's fine. it wasn't all your fault anyways. it was mine too. I could've said no and refused to join you guys but I didn't" I sent and then placed my phone down.
I went downstairs but stopped when I heard arguing.
"she's immature and doesn't know how to handle herself on her own!" my dad said, slamming his hand down on the counter.
"she made a mistake! it's not like she's addicted to drugs or smoking everyday. she tried it and she's over it. she even told me herself. stop causing so much drama and let it go Chris" my mom argued back, pacing around the kitchen.
"how do we know she's not addicted to drugs and smoking and drinking? she hides up in that room of hers the whole day everyday" he said back.
"you have to trust our daughter Chris. she's not like that. she never has been and never will be. relax and trust her for once" she said, sitting down at the kitchen table.
I ran back upstairs and collapsed onto my bed.
I checked my phone and had three new messages from nick.
"okay well I still feel bad so let me make it up to you" one said.
"I'll pick you up for dinner and a movie at 4:30" the next one said.
"y/n?" the last one said before I responded back.
"okay. I guess that would be fine. thanks" I texted back, half smiling to myself.
I put down my phone and walked over to my closet, looking at the things I could wear.
what did I get myself into. he's a druggie. I mean I'm pretty sure but still, I like Matt and he likes me.
I picked out a white blouse, leggings, and a pair of grey converse. I put my hair into a bun and applied light makeup.
I made my way downstairs and saw my mom and dad in the living room watching tv.
"I'm going out. I'll be back around 9:30-10:00 maybe" I said, giving a small smile to my parents.
"what n-" my dad started to say but my mom cut him off.
"okay just be back around then please" she said and gave my dad a look.
I opened the door and nick was standing there in khakis, a white polo shirt, and black dress shoes.
he peeked inside and waved to my parents but I immediately knew he was going to regret it.
"excuse me, come in here for a second" my dad said, standing up.
nick walked inside and stood in front of my dad.
"your the kid that made my daughter try cigarettes and alcohol. what makes you think you can take her on a date?" he asked.
"sir, I'm very sorry about that. I take full responsibility and that really never meant to happen. I promise you I've quit both smoking and drinking and would like to impress your daughter in many ways possible" nick said, looking back at me with a smile on his face.
my dad stepped closer to nick and put his finger on his chest.
"I'm trusting you but if you as much pull out a cigarette or take a drink of alcohol, you will no longer be able to speak, see, or hangout with my daughter. do you understand me?" my dad said, giving nick a look and then backing off.
"yes sir. most definitely" nick replied and then turned around to me and grabbed my hand.
"ready?" he asked me.
"yeah, let's go" I said, giving him a small smile.
as soon as I opened the front door, Matt was standing, folded arms, and a huge smile on his face (well until he saw nick.
"oh, sorry. I didn't know you had company" Matt said.
"no Matt it's fine. what do you need?" I asked him.
"nothing, uh nvm...I'll come back tomorrow" he said and then walked away.
"nick, can you wait in your car? I'll be right back" I said and ran over to Matt.
"Matt wait" I said, running after him.
"what y/n?" Matt said, raising his voice.
"what's wrong with you tonight? you seem tense" I said, giving him a confused look.
"I'm not. just leave me alone alright, go have fun" he replied and then confined to walk away.
I watched him walk away, alone and hurt. why was he being like this?
