Bonnie and Clyde (ON HOLD! Writer's Block.)

6. Nico Pt1

I sit at the corner of the bathroom as I hug my knees to my chest. He scared me even more when he yelled at me. I just wanted to know, he didn't have to yell. I want to go home, I miss my family and friends. I want to know if I got my dream job and start working. I want to have a normal life and move out of my parents' house. I want to own a condo and meet the perfect guy, get married and have kids. I always imagined that once we'd find out that I'm pregnant that would be the perfect time to buy a nice house with a big back yard. I begin to cry because I know that my life is over now; I will never get my dream job, get married, have kids or have my own house or condo. The door of the bathroom opens and a guard with hair like Dylan's and blue eyes walks in.

"Hey, it's time to go outside." he says as he begins to walk up to me. He notices that I'm crying and his face expression softens. "Are you okay? What's wrong?" he asks as he kneels down right in front of me. "I'm homesick." I mumble. He wipes away a tear with his thumb. "Come on, you're way too beautiful to be crying." he pauses for a second then says "What are you in here for? You don't seem like the rest of these patients." "I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time." I say. He looks confused so I explain to him what happened that night. "That's insane." he says. I look down at his name tag, his name is Nico Tortorella. "Right." I laugh, then it turns out as a cry. He quickly hugs me tightly. I grip on to his vest as I cry on his shoulder. After a couple of minutes he helps me up. "Where's your room? You don't have to go outside today." he says and we walk to my room. Once we get there I walk inside and he follows. "Thank you, I just needed someone to comfort me." I say as he closes the door behind him. "It's not a problem at all." he smiles. I smile back as I stand awkwardly against the wall where the small window is. I rub my left arm as I shiver. "Are you cold?" he asks and I nod. He grabs my blanket and wraps it around me. His face is millimeters away from mine now and all I could smell is his minty breath. He tucks my hair behind my ear and softly caresses my cheek. I look up into his beautiful blue eyes as I breathe in and out slowly, like I'm falling asleep.

"You're so beautiful." he whispers as his finger touches my chin and lifts my head up more before moving in to kiss me. His lips are soft and moist. My hand instantly goes to his cheek, softly caressing it. He licks my bottom lip, asking for entrance and I allow it. His tongue invades my mouth, massaging my tongues, playing around with it, pleasing me. My hand slides up to his hair and I softly grip it, then tug a bit. I hear a groan in the back of his throat and I do it again just to hear it. This time he moans in my mouth and I love it. I feel the blanket slip off as his hands go down to my waist and he pulls me closer to him. His left hand goes under my shirt but it stays on my waist. I ignore it and continue to kiss him and play with his hair. We hear the siren that lets everyone know that it's time to come back inside. He pulls away as we catch our breath. "I have to go, duty calls." he says. "Can I come back?" he adds and I nod my head, not being able to find my voice. He gives me a quick kiss before sneaking out of my room.

Before I went into the cafeteria I took a quick shower and put my hair in a ponytail. I am now wearing a navy blue, long sleeve shirt, and gray sweatpants which I don't like because you can tell I have a big butt in these. I walk into the cafeteria and check what's for dinner. It looks disgusting, whatever it is. So I grab a banana and an apple. I turn around and make eye contact with Dylan. He doesn't look away, it seems like he's waiting. For what? For me to sit with him? Oh well. I look away and go sit with Jace. "Hey! You're back!" Rylie says. I smile at them as I peel my banana. "So, tell me, how is the hot psycho?" Riley asks. "Like you said, hot and intimidating." I respond. "Well you seemed to have left a mark on him cause he's staring at you like a hawk." she says. "You don't have to tell me, I can feel it." I mutter. I look up and see Nico standing near the door. He turns his head and we make eye contact. He gives me a small smile before looking away. I feel my cheeks burn as I eat my banana.

When they signal us to leave I got up way too quickly and tripped over my own foot. I thought I was going to fall on my ass but someone caught me. I look up and see Dylan looking down at me. Oh God, how does he look hotter than usual. I feel warm, really warm. Of course because he's touching you. I quickly stand up and move his hands away from me. "Thanks." I mutter before walking away. "Wait." he says but he doesn't come up to me because Nico does. "Are you okay? I seen you trip into him." he says. "Yeah, I'm fine." I smile. "Are you sure? You seemed frightened." he says. "It's nothing, I promise." I respond. "Okay, I'll come by later on tonight." he says and I nod before walking away.

Dylan catches up to me as I'm about to open my door. "What was that guard talking about?" he asks. "Nothing that concerns you." I say as I walk inside my room. He follows me and closes the door behind him.

"You can't trust him." he says.

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

 "I heard him and this other guard talking about a bet." he says.

"Ok and?" I ask.

"The guy bet him that he couldn't get one of the patients to sleep with him in a week. I guess he chose you to try." he explains.

"You're insane." I laugh.

"I'm telling the truth!" he says. "And why do you care if he is using me?" I ask.

"I never said I did." he says. "I'm just warning you."

His words hit me hard like a brick. I can feel my heart shattering into little pieces. I can't believe what I just heard. He doesn't care about me, he never did. How could I be so stupid? "Get out." I say through gritted teeth. He doesn't move, he just stares at me in disbelief. "I said get out!" I yell and he does, slamming the door shut behind him. Why would he even care about a girl like me? I'm not what he wants. I'm so fucking stupid! I actually started liking him; I started liking someone who doesn't care at all. I lay on my bed and wait for Nico. As I wait my eyelids slowly close and I doze off.

I hear a soft knock on my door waking me up. I sit up as I hear someone unlock the door. Nico walks in and closes the door. He looks at me and immediately smiles. I smile back as he sits next to me. "Sorry for taking so long, I had some stuff to do." he says. "Its okay, I fell asleep for a bit." I say. "That's good." he says. "You look rested." he adds. "I feel like it." I say as I watch his hand go up and down my forearm. "I like your hair up like that, it gives me a full view of you." he says and I smile. He sits up, his back against the wall and he motions for me to get closer. I do, one of my legs over his as his arm snakes around my waist. I lay my head on his shoulder as he kisses the top of my head. "Tell me about yourself." he says. I tell him everything, like I went to NYU to become a journalist and that I graduated early. I told him that I can sing, play the guitar, and dance a bit.

"Dance for me." he says and I laugh. "No." I smile at him. "Why not?" he smiles back. "Because I'm not that good." I reply. "I'll be the judge of that." he says. "Nope." I smile and we continued to talk for a while longer before I fell asleep on his shoulder.
