The Way I Loved You-WTLGD2

The Plan

You want to know what's awesome? Being angry or sad in pairs, because let's be honest, misery really does love company. That is kinda one of the best things about having a twin, they are like built in back up. You want to know what's NOT awesome? Leaving the house with your built in misery back up and having them turn all happy.

*Nick makes his way back to the table and smiles at B, his attitude completely changed, B notices immediately and cocks a brow*

(Bailey) where is Livie?

*Livie walks back out to the table and sits next to B, Nick smiles. B narrows her eyes and looks at Nick*

(Nick) *notices B staring* whats wrong with you?

(Bailey) *grumpy* same thing that was wrong with me before I was forced to come get icecream, what's wrong with you?

(Nick) Nothing...

(Bailey) exactly...excuse me *motions for Livie to move so she can get out* move Livie!

*Livie stands up and B slides out of the booth*

(Livie) where are you going?

(Bailey) outside ... *Nick starts to stand and follow her* ALONE....eat your ice cream you already bolused for it *walks out of the ice cream shop and sits down on the edge of the step with a sigh*

It's obvious that something happened on Nick and Livie's little trip to the back of the shop, the proof is written all over Nick's smiling face. It's not that I'm upset, or surprised for that matter, they have always had this undeniable chemistry but as selfish as it sounds, it was nice having Nick be miserable with me, it is really hard to be around happy people when you are so sad.

*Joe walks out and sits next to B*

(Joe) Hey Monkey *puts his arm around B's shoulder and pulls her into a side hug*

(Bailey) *lays her head on Joe's shoulder* Hey Joey

(Joe) talk to me...I'm not Nick but if you squint we kinda look alike *smirks* ....'cept I'm way studlier

(Bailey) *giggles* and so humble...

(Joe) mmhmm...spill it

(Bailey) *shrugs* He is THE ONE and now he won't even to talk to me

(Joe) what even happened with you guys?

(Bailey) *sighs*  I...he...he told me he didn't want me talking to Jake...I promised him I wouldn't

(Joe) o...k....

(Bailey) I lied ...Jake has been texting me the whole time, Sam saw the texts

*Joe cocks a brow and looks at B*

(Bailey) save the speech...I know...

(Joe) why were you talking to Jake if you promised Sam you wouldn't?

(Bailey) I dunno...

(Joe) yes you do...

(Bailey) *sigh* I guess I wasn't sure how I felt about him...

(Joe) Jake?

(Bailey) and Sam...Jake was never boring...he wasn't afraid to break the rules for me...

(Joe) mmhmm...or break your heart...or break the law...or...

(Bailey) *interrupts* point taken...I get it...I screwed up...I realize that

(Joe) *pulls B into another side hug* I'm not trying to give you a hard time...I'm sorry

(Bailey) No, I deserve it...I was an idiot and didn't appreciate what I had until it was gone...

(Joe) I think you guys will work it out

(Bailey) you aren't supposed to say things like that to a girl...we get our hopes up and then when it doesn't happen I'll be all like...you told me we would work it out...and you'll be like...I was just trying to make you feel better...and I'll be like...epic fail...now I feel worse!

(Joe) *chuckles* you are so weird...I just mean if it's meant to be, it will be...you say he is THE ONE...if that's true, things will work out

(Bailey) you really think so?

(Joe) *nods* yup everything happens for a reason

-2:30am-

After our ice-cream outing I locked myself in my room for the rest of the night, Nick took my subtle hint and decided to sleep in his own room...which is good considering it is now 2:30 in the morning and I am up writing...I had an idea...one that came to me in a dream...something that would finally get Sam to listen

*B is sitting on her floor leaning against her bed writing in her journal when Nick stumbles in half asleep*

(Nick) *sleepy voice* what are you doing?

(Bailey) writing...I thought I locked that door...

(Nick) You did *holds up key and sighs slumping on the floor next to B * you know you can write during the daytime right?

(Bailey) *shrugs* I can't sleep...

(Nick) *yawns rubbing the back of his neck* what are you writing?

(Bailey) a song...

(Nick) *chuckles* yea...we are definitely related...lemme see

(Bailey) *hands Nick her Journal* I've written Sam a bunch of letters but I don't think he reads them and he won't talk to me...

(Nick) so...you are writing a song? What do you intend to do? Just start singing it in the hallway to him?

(Bailey) actually, that's exactly what I intend to do...only not the hallway. Jake asked me a few weeks ago if I would try to get you to sing for this benefit talent show thing at school, they need new uniforms and stuff

 (Nick) wait...you didn't tell him I would do it did you?

(Bailey) well....

(Nick) *sigh* *whine* B....

(Bailey) you don't have to, I only told him I would ask...anyway...I figure Sam is helping run the thing so he has to be there...so I'm working what I want to say into a song...and I'll just sing it in the show...then he has no choice but to listen.

(Nick) you really want to stand up in front of the entire school and put your broken heart on display like that?

(Bailey) if it gets him to listen...yes

(Nick)  you sure?

(Bailey) *nods* yup

(Nick) *sleepy smile*  ok...count me in

(Bailey) *perks up* you will do the show?

(Nick) no....I'll help you write the music for your song...

(Bailey) *lays her head on Nick's shoulder* thank you...

(Nick) *lays head on top of B's* welcome...now go to bed...we will work on the song tomorrow before we go paint Peanuts nursery

(Bailey) K...

*B stands up and crawls into bed, Nick stands and sleepily shuffles towards the door*

(Bailey) where the heck are you goin?

(Nick) *points toward room* bed...

(Bailey) *scoots over and throws back the cover* can't sleep alone...

(Nick) *chuckles and shuffles to B's bed, B's head is on his shoulder before his head hits the pillow*does this mean you aren't mad about Livie and I anymore?

(Bailey) *props up head to look at Nick* I'm not mad...I want you two together...the happiness is just a little hard to handle...

(Nick) *chuckle* ok, well I will try to tone down the happy when you are around...

(Bailey) *giggle* thank you...

(Nick) I am though...

(Bailey) what?

(Nick) Happy
