Chapter 12 Nick Carter... Nick Salvatore

3rd pov

Nick goes back to the party with dried blood on the side of his lips.

Josie who notices the boy, runs up and examines him.

''what the hell? Did you turn and kill someone?'', she asked worried.

Nick shakes his head as his borws was raised at the girl.

''no, I did not. Honestly Josie that's the first thing that came up to your mind?'', he asks in hurt at what she just said.

The girl takes her hand on his hand.

''no, I am sorry. It's just that I have had many to drink and I am not thinking straight. I know you wouldn't do that. I just had to hear Mg beginning with his theories about you and even if I know he was wrong with it all. I just... yeah. You know how he gets when he's in his own world'', she explains to him.

The boy chuckles as remembered how he and MG used to conspire theories together.

''yeah I understand that. When Mg begins, he does really go into it. And if you're drinking, it's not helping. May I ask how much you've had to drink, Jo?''.

She shrugs as she looks at a nerby tree.

''uh, I don't really know. I think I had... uh... maybe like... yeah i honestly don't remember'', she tells him as she holds up her hand trying to count her fingers.

The hybrid shakes his head amused.

''it's okay. It's a party after all and you deserve to have some fun. At least with everything that's happened and you being the only one to remember me... about that... can I ask why? Why didn't you take the spell on yourself too? It would have been much easier''.

The siphoner witch takes her gaze to the hybrid boy and lets her face soften.

''well, I didn't want you to be forgotten by everyone. I thought at least someone should remember you. Remember how you sacrifices yourself for us, to be alive. I remember when Hope did it and everyoner forgot about her, it wasn't exactly great for her when she came back. For everyone to not remember her, not welcoming her... I just didn't want it to happen to you if by some mitracle you did come back. And here you are. Right in front of me and I am so happy I didn't blast myself with the spell. I'm glad I shielded myself for it. Because then you had at least one person to welcome you back'', she tells him truthfully as tears were briming in her eyes.

The boy takes her in a hug, that she needed.

''thank you, Jo. Though I don't agree with you, I understand. I'm sorry you've dealt with this for these past months alone''.

She shakes her head in his chest.

''don't be. You didn't know... tho the worst part wasn't just for me. It was for everyone. Dad started to drink more when he figured out we lost someone and he knew the person was someone he cared deeply for even if he didn't remember or say it to us. I saw it. Passed out in his office a couple of times. Don't get me started on Lizzie. She began to study more, shocking yes. She even went home early when it was a party. Then your parents they came here a couple of times in a month. Asking my dad for updates, but he didn't have any. They slowly started to lose hope and well, I don't blame then. My dad stopped trying to figure who you were and when Hope found out. She fought with dad very often just because of that. She was really the one who never gave up. Even after she got with Ethan... about Ethan I only think she started to date him because of the void you left. Though he never filled that for her. Now, I think she's just being together with him because she feels bad for using him like that and don't really know how to break up with him. It may seems like she's into him, but in all honsety she isn't. She just sees a friend in him, at least it looks like that in my eyes'', the girl talks with non stop.
