A Roller Coaster Ride We're On || (n.j.) || Book 1

27~I Missed Us

Nick and I got in a fight about a day ago. It was over the stupidest little thing too. I basically overreacted with my stupid girly hormones and got really mad. He tried to restrain himself from fighting back, I could tell, but all his persuasions failed. He has a yell, let me tell ya. I walked out after I couldn't take it. I didn't pack anything, of course, but I need a break. And he knew it.

I went to Heather's place which used to be the apartment I shared with her. She renovated it to be all her own.

"Aw girl. Let's just cry and eat lots of ice cream." Heather immediately welcomed me with open arms. I instantly fell into her shoulder and just sobbed. I really hate this fight. It was all my fault too. It really was, I overreacted and it was so dumb. Nick didn't really do anything wrong either. That night, Heather and I shared her bed and watched movies until 2 in the morning.

Nick's POV
That fight was so stupid. It was all because I didn't like where the couch was or something, and so Charlotte got upset at me. I'm not really blaming her, but she did overreact a little bit.
After me yelling so much, I almost passed out. My levels were so low I could've ended up in the ER again. Which is something I didn't want. I am currently sitting on the edge of my bed with my head in my hands. I cried for a little bit after our little argument, but I pulled myself together. I really just want to talk to Charlotte and make everything better. Or maybe I could just give it a few days.

I watched her cry so many times, but for some reason, last night was the worst. I hate seeing her like that. It kills me every single time.
Today is Monday and so I have an off day, which is really surprising. Maybe today I'll just go shopping for Charlotte and surprise her for when she comes home. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. But first I need a shower.
Bad.

Charlotte's POV
*1 week later*

"Girl, it's been a whole week and I'm sorry but you look like crap." Heather tells me as we're standing at the island in her kitchen.

"What? Nah." I'm in pure denial. I really should shower and get cleaned up.

"Hun, I'm sure this is very hard for him too. But you need to see him and make up. I don't like seeing you like this and it's not like you guys broke up." She continues to make herself coffee and clean up the counter.

"Fine. I'll go shower and whatever. But I don't have extra clothes here." I cross my arms.

"Well, the more reason for you to go see Nick."

"I could just wear your clothes." I answer right away.

"Dude come on. I don't want you moping around my apartment." Heather states.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll go and see him."

"Good. Get out." Heather's lips tug into a little smile.

"Hey!" I say.

"You know I love you. But I also want the best for your love life. So get out and go get your man." Heather pushes on my back towards the door.

"Going." I say, turning around to hug her.

"Bye." She smiles.

Time to do this. It's been a week but I got this. I really hope he'll except me back. I mean, I know we didn't break up or anything but it almost feels like it. And I don't like that feeling.
As I'm driving, I turn on the radio. 'Jealous' comes on. Of course it does, the radio knows that I needed to hear his voice. Good job WIXX.

I soon pull up to the apartment building. I look at it for a while and just breathe. I can do this, I can do this. I'm in really short pajama shorts and tank top. This is exactly what I went to Heather's house in, a week ago. Jeez, I am a mess. I mean, my make up is smeared a little from crying and my breath smells horrible. I get out of the car and pull my big girl pants up. You got this Charlotte.
