Draw the Shades and Close the Door (a Vic Fuentes Fanfic)

Chapter 9

~~Nina's P.O.V~~

I was really nervous about meeting Vic and Jaime after school. It wasn't the fact that I thought it might be awkward but rather the fact that I knew I would probably scare them off 'cause actually I'm a complete weirdo, I don't even know why they liked me. Jaime was bringing his girlfriend, Tess, who Id seen around at school a few times but never spoken too, apparently she was lovely. I'd heard that she had liked Jaime for ages and Jaime had liked her for ages but neither knew of each others feelings and then one day, Jaime just built up the confidence and asked her straight out and was surprised when she said yes without a seconds hesitation. I thought it was adorable and wished something like that would happen to me one day.

The only time I'd ever gotten properly close to a guy I'd pretty much fallen in love with him, he was literally perfect to me and I know what you're thinking 'omg she was like 14 how could she be that in love' but I don't think anyone even understood. Mark and I were practically inseparable, and I knew that he had always been kind of a dick but all his mates said that I was the only girl he'd ever stayed friends with for this long without hurting them etc etc and I thought it might actually happen but guess I was wrong. He went out and got another girl. I think it's fair to say he broke me and he was the first guy i cried over. His mates and my mates all hated him for it but I couldn't blame him, how could I? He just didn't like me as much as he liked her I guess and i couldn't do anything about it so I got over it. Well I say I got over it, we didn't talk for a while, i couldn't really face it but eventually worked it out and stayed good friends but I never really got over him. About a year later I finally realised that I was wasting my time and gave up. I just forced myself not to like him anymore and started to realise all the bad things he had done, how much he had hurt me. No one knew I had liked him for so long, they thought I'd gotten over him within a week but I guess I'm just good at hiding my feelings.

He still texts me a few times now I've moved away but I don't normally reply with much, I have nothing to say to him which is a shame really considering how close we once were and how much we once meant to each other.

But enough if that, that was al in the past and right now, I was going to meet Vic, Jaime and Tess.

I'd arranged to meet them after school and we weren't going to bother going home and getting changed seeing as it was Friday and our school clothes were just going to go in the wash anyway.

I was so nervous.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Nina!' I heard Vic shout over the roar of students finishing for Friday. I quickly spun around and saw him waltzing up toward me with his hands shoved in his pockets and the sun shimmering down on his face.

Damn he was beautiful. There were no other words. Its such a shame he has a girlfriend I thought to myself.

'Hey Vic, Jaime, Tess' I said as they all arrived over.

'TO THE PARK!' Tess shouted jumping on Jaime's back before he charged off leaving Vic and Me laughing behind them but not bothering to run and catch up with them.

Eventually, when Jaime and Tess had finally slowed down and waited for Vic and me, we all went to the park and sat in the sun for a few hours. It was lovely and so relaxing to get away from the stress of starting a knew school. I thought I'd always have regrets about moving school and leaving my friends behind but maybe it was for the better. I was actually completely happy here an didn't have any bad memories behind me.

'Hey um, Vic, Nina?.' Jaime said interrupting mine and Vic's conversation. 'Tess and I are gunna go now so we'll see you guys Monday.' He smiled turning around and taking Tess' hand after we had said bye and walking off into the sun set swinging their hands together. It was like a picture perfect moment and I couldn't help but smile.
