It's you all along (stop for the moment)

[1] bacons and laughter

Crystal's P.O.V

" Okay mum! Yes, I know what time it is! " I slipped on my light blue skinny jeans.

" Is Nick coming to pick you up? "

" Yes, he's on his way here. " I walked down the stairs and see my mum busy making breakfast at the kitchen. " Breakfast smells delicious!" I smiled at the amazing scent of bacon.

"Thank you darling, now hurry up and eat, I've made bacon and egg sandwich, you don't want Nick to wait. " my mum turned around to smile at me.

I sat down at the table as my mum put a plate down in front of me. Bacon and egg sandwich, what a great way to start the morning. I smiled down at my plate and started eating.

"Today is Grandpa's birthday, so remember not to come home after college, just straight away to grandpa's, we'll be there already." mum said while sitting down across me with her sandwich.

"Am I invited as well? " came a familiar voice, slightly scaring me.

" Yes you are sweetie. " mum said while looking up from her sandwich smiling.

"Stop coming in without knocking, you scared me for a while. " I chuckled with a strip of bacon still sticking out from my mouth.

" Sorry." Nick laughed sitting next to me and snatched the strip of bacon out of my mouth , ate it and pulling a funny face at me. I laughed and hit his chest before making a funny face back at him.

"You two are like 5 year olds." mum laughed at us.

"So I'll pick you up later and drive you to Charles after college? That is if I'm invited." Nick smiled at me.

"Of course you are, you're automatically invited and you know that sweetie."

"Not really, more like he always butt in our family gathering for grandma's famous chocolate cake." I pulled a face at him. "ow.. hey don't hit me!"

"You hit me just now too! Hey! That hurt! Stop!" Nick complained as I hit him back hard. And we begin hitting each other like we were still 5.

" Stop it you two!" mum laughed.

Nick has been my best friend since ... since as long as I remember. He's practically family, that explains the barging in my house without knocking, not once, but every single time.

" Alright, alright. Hurry up princess, I don't want to be late. Here I'll help you." Nick snatched away the last bite of my sandwich in my hand but not before I snatch it back and put it in my mouth.

"Oh sorry, you wanted this? " I opened my mouth with the chewed sandwich.

"Ew just hurry up princess!"  Nick complained again while me and my mum laughed. Nick is the only one who calls me ' Princess ' because we used to play this game when we were little, as you can guess, I was the princess while he was the prince, but no, I don't call him 'prince'.

"Okay, I'm done, let's go." I  finished my coffee and grabbed my bag.

"Alright, have fun at college Crystal." mum said while giving me a hug.

"Drive safe Nick." mum gave Nick a hug this time.

" Bye mum!"

" Bye Scarlet! "

I open the front door and begin walking to the familiar car. " Come, let me help you. " Nick smiled while taking my bag from me. Although we always tease each other and make fun of each other, Nick is always really caring. He'll always help me take my stuff for me in the
morning even though I've told him I'm fine every time. Knowing that he'll still insists on taking my bag for me, I simply smiled at him before continue walking.

I climbed in the passenger seat while Nick got in the driver's seat handing my bag to me before starting the engine and drove off.

"Are you doing anything tomorrow, princess? "  Nick asked looking at me before focusing back on the road again.

"Well, I'm going out with Joel tomorrow night."

"What? Again? That's two Saturday in a row." He pouted.

"We can hang out on Sunday."

"But you said we can hang out tomorrow last week, princess."

"I know, but Joel is going away on Sunday so we had to change it to tomorrow instead."

" You always hang out with him." Nick muttered.

"He's my boyfriend Nick, of course I always hang out with him."

"But it's not fair, I don't get to hang out much with you ever since you started dating him. "

"Nick... we had this talk. I don't want to argue with you anymore."

"Fine. But promise me we'll hang out on Sunday?" he looked at me full of hope.

"Yes, I'm all yours on Sunday." I smiled.

" Good." And a smile appeared on his face.

This boy is so childish at times. Even though he's super sporty, has a body that everyone drools over and is the star player in the school's football team, he can be like a kid sometimes, but it's cute. A lot of girls in college thinks he's hot and always tries to talk to him. Being his best friend, girls are always coming to me all sweet and nice, sometimes with gifts asking me for help with Nick, but at the same time, I do receive hates and threats from girls that are jealous because I'm close to him. But boy they have any idea how he can be like sometimes, he may look strong and good looking but to me and a couple of his lads he can be really childish and annoying sometimes. But like I said, it's cute.

"Alright, come on." Nick grabbed my bag from me after he parked his car.

"Thanks Nick. " I got out of the car followed by him.

We walked together making our way to the main entrance when someone walked past me way too close and hit my shoulder hard causing me to fall.
