How it started.

Chapter 14

------------------Berits' s P.OV.-------------------

I was still standing in the same room as Preston. Everything is so confusing right now, I can't even fathom how one guy likes me let alone FOUR. I do NOT know how to deal with my feelings. I mean, I am a hormonal teenage girl. AND these were pretty attractive teenage boys. Don't get me wrong, I don't really care about looks. I care more about who the person is and their feelings, how they act etc.

However Preston is here. Preston is hot. Preston is offering for me to live with him. And I have had a crush on Preston for quite some time. But then again I have to think about school, my friends here, and my stupid mixed feeling about other boys. Oh yeah and my ex boyfriend that is in town unil the end of spring break.

"Preston, I don't think anything would make me happier right now than just forgetting about everything here and running away to live with you. But there is a lot going on in my life. I like you a lot Preston, but I can't be with someone if I have mixed feelings for someone else as well. This is just a little too sudden for me and I'd like to have a chance to be friends and get to know each other in a more in depth way before we do something as big as moving in together."

Preston sits on the bed in the middle of the room deep in thought as I sit on a small stool in front of him. Watching his expression turn from his face falling slightly, to a look of... determination?

"Berit since the moment I laid eyes on you I knew I liked you and I wanted you to be in my life. I don't care if I have to wait an eternity to be with you. I'll sit here patiently waiting for you to like me back." Preston says, eyes gleaming in the light as he speaks.

"It's not that I don't like you Preston. I just can't deal with this right now. Not that this is something hard to deal with. I just need to sort out my feelings and finish school before I make such a drastic change." My tone is sincere as I don't want to hurt him and I really mean the words I'm saying to him.

"I completely understand Berit, all I want is for you to be happy and words can't express how much I care for you, but I believe nobody will ever be able to make you as happy as I could and I will be waiting for you forever." Preston speaks very genuinely as his kind eyes bore into mine with intense emotion.

"Nobody has ever said such kind words to me and I promise I will not forget about this and I will consider your offer to come back to Texas with you when I finish school. And Maybe we can start a little cactus family." I say teasingly while wiggling my eyebrows.

"Already waaaay ahead of you on that one.." Preston says as he pulls out THE smallest cactus in a pot I have ever seen.

"Just for you m'lady" Preston hands me the teeny cactus and I giggle at how adorable it is and thank him.

I didn't really know what else to say but it's chill because just after Preston gives me the tiniest cactus ever, all the guys come running into the room with weird expressions on their faces.

"Someone threw a rock through the window with a message taped to it for you Berit......" Mitch says ominously.

He hands me the rock and I open the little piece of paper attached to it. It read 'this is why you should answer your phone one in a while, meet me outside. -N'

I gasp as I realized I'd probably dropped my phone in the bar last night, and I felt horrible because I was supposed to meet with my ex boyfriend this morning... about an hour ago. The boys furrow their brows at me as if to ask "what did it say" without actually using words.
I jump up and say I forgot I had to meet someone and run to my room to quickly get changed and make myself look presentable.

I know its weird to be excited to talk to your ex, or even be excited to hang out with him after you break up, but our relationship was a little.. different than most. We were kind of forced into breaking up but his feelings have never wavered and mine wont either if he plays his cards right. I really don't like it when so many people like me at once because I just feel like a hoe and it confuses me. Like its not like im going to go around having sex with these people, but I dont know my feelings yet and I don't want to lead them on.

Anyway after I slap some makeup on my face real quick. I change into some ripped black leggings, a black bandeau with a see through brown wool shirt over top, and pick some nice little black converse out of my closet. Grabbing a sweater and my keys, I hurry to make my way out the door.

I'm almost sprinting through the living room when I'm knocked to the ground just as I'm about to reach the door.

"And where do you think you're going without telling us a word little miss too excited over the person who just broke our window." Mitch asks, a little annoyance just clear enough for me to almost mistake as concern or something is evident in his voice.

"Out to catch up with an old friend, toodaloo." I say as I do a summer salt through his legs and expertly twist the doorknob as im rolling, so I push the door and roll out into the hallway. Mitch has a shocked expression on his face before he starts laughing and tells me not to have to much fun and he closes the door and I bolt down the hallway towards the elevator.

The elevator took too long so I ran down the stairs and out to the front of the building, seeing my ex boyfriend I run up to him and hug him. He lifts me up and hugs me tight before letting go, he then sighs while saying "why didn't you answer your phone? I was worried." He ruffles a hand through his short brown hair.

"I think I lost it and I slept in I am so sorry, but did you really have to throw a rock through my window?"

He laughs and looks at me apologetically, "I'm really sorry about that, I just didn't want to knock on the door to have you still asleep so I'd have to awkwardly wait with your roommates in which I've never met or heard anything about before."

"I guess that makes sense, but you're going to have to meet them sooner or later. They are my friends."

He smiled and nodded saying "ok let's go" and grabbed my hand.

"Where are we going? Want to drive?"

"No its okay, I was thinking maybe a romantic walk on the beach, or a picnic in the park. I don't know I feel like being outside today is that okay with you?"

"Yeah that's perfectly okay with me actually" I skip forward a little just so I was beside him, still holding his hand we walked side by side making our way to where I guess was the park. I don't know how Nick knew the way, he doesn't live here.

We were walking along the side walk, and I was walking on the farthest side of the side walk when Nick twirled me into his arms and kissed me deeply. I was really surprised when he pulled away and pushed me into the back of a van where I was chlorophormed by a large man wearing all black.

The last thing I saw was Nick smiling at me deviously.

The last thing I heard was Nick saying "I really love you, It's a shame this has to happen".
