5SOS - BABYSAT BY IDIOTS

Chapter 197

Calum's POV

"So what are you saying? You're just gonna show her the E-News episode and it'll all be over?" Matt said into the phone. I replied, "Yeah, but there's more. After showing her the episode, we're gonna bring Nicole to a restaurant and tell her its because we want her to get her mind off everything 'cause its probably really overwhelming for her. Then that's where you come in. You're gonna be at the same restaurant 10 minutes before we get there and then we're gonna arrange for Nicole to see you. It's kind of like what we did with her and Taylor but a bit differently. We're gonna leave you two alone so that you can talk things out and everything will be okay again. What do you think?"

Matt: I think it's brilliant.

Calum: Awesome! So does East Side Mario's work?

Matt: Yeah, okay. What time?

Calum: Tonight at 6:50. We'll be there at 7:00.

Matt: Got it.

Calum: And wear something nice too!

Matt: Yeah, yeah, okay. Thanks by the way.

Calum: No problem, man.

I turned the phone off and Luke asked, "So how'd it go?" I put the phone down and said, "Perfectly. Matt will be there at 6:50 tonight so we have to be there at 7:00."

Nicole's POV

"Ash, I really think you should go and see what Calum needed you for. It's probably important," I said to Ashton. He said, "Well alright. You just hang in there. Got it?" I nodded. Then he walked out. I sighed. Maybe I will get over this. Break ups are normal. Within a week, I'll get over him. Well maybe 2 weeks. Okay, maybe 3. Ugh. Truth is, I don't really know when I'll get over him but I know that I will. Eventually. I'm just happy that I have 4 people to support me. Unlike 3 others who are just jealous of me! Or at least, they shouldn't be anymore. They heard the news I bet. It's out in the open. Matt and I are... over. Well the media doesn't know we're over yet. Heck, the media doesn't even know if I know what he did. But forget the friggin' media for now! God, I hate them. I looked at the time. 2:20. I sighed again. What am I gonna do? Tomorrow I have to go to school and I don't even know what people are gonna say to me. Are they gonna make fun of me? Are they gonna support me? Will they even know? And plus, I have my parent/teacher conference tomorrow. Ugh, it's just so overwhelming. I can't live like this. So many things are on my mind.

- Matt cheated on me
- I broke up with him
- People might talk about it at school
- I have my parent/teacher conference tomorrow
- Media is just so frustrating
- I'm in a fight with each of my friends

All of a sudden, I got a text from Jessica.

Jessica: hey Nicole can we talk?

I knew at that moment she was going to apologize for everything. And at the perfect time too. Right when everything is falling apart, at least something's there to make me happy.

Nicole: ya we can talk Jess

Jessica: I just wanted 2 apologize 4 everything. Ive been a real bitch 2 u and i'm sorry. I guess I just got out of control and I just hope u can forgive me

Nicole: of course I can forgive u Jessica! we're friends

Jessica: great! and plus, I watched e news. boy that was a real let down and bring back wasnt it? I bet u were scared 4 like 20 minutes until u saw that other episode eh?

Nicole: um Jessica Im still scared. I have no idea what ur talking about

Jessica: why not? didn't u watch the other episode?

Nicole: what other episode? Jessica what r u talking about?
