Chapter 17

     It was beautiful. It was a neclace with a heart with carved in words. It said love. I smiled so hard. He looked at me and told me to open the locket heart. I open up the heart and it has more carved in words. I look closely and it says "Will you go out with me?"
I started to tear up.
"Are you serious?" I felt so warm. No one has ever done this for me. He wrapped his arm around me and told me I have forever to think. He leaned in and pressed his lips against mine. It was really a nice, warm and sweet feeling. He got up and went to go get into his pjs. I wipped my tears away and just smiled and held it tight.

     Once I got into my pjs I got into my nice warm bed and my neclace next to me.

                    One month later

     Nick hasnt really wanted to talk to me lately since I havent decided yet. But besides that, I have been going to photography school everyday 12-3 pm. I also go to Nicks job called "Photo perfectionist" but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Im getting some kick a*s pay to. All I do is just edit photos. Its really nice, but its starts the same time Nick shifts start so we both have to be in the same car. Besides that he has still been drinking texting,phonecalls and of course partying. I think we need to talk this out. He is on the couch making a call with a girl, shocker! I walked into the living room and sat down facing him. I poked his arm. He gave me a nasty glare and gave me the "wait a minute" sign. I frowned a bit and he noticed. He ended the call then.
"What?" He asked plainly
"We need to talk."
"I honestly dont belive there is anything to talk about."
"but.... There is actually."
"Your right. Why wont you go out with me?"
My heart stopped and I froze again. I sighed.
"Just-"
"Ill change anything just to have you."
I felt I should be honest but I didnt really want to tell.
"Well the real reason I dont want to date you is because we are very different. And your always drinking and texting and making calls and yeah." I just couldnt hold it in. I said it so fast though. I could barley breath.
"oh okay anything else you wanna share?" He said snoby
I started to tear up. "Yes."
He wipped my tears and told me to calm down. It really did make me feel alot better. "Pleases dont get mad."
"I promise, If you would tell me."
"Okay so, My parents kicked me out of the house. And the gave me a few brochers to check out. I picked this obe of course. She said she will just pay for the rent just for a few months. She also gave me $50 for food. After one week I was starving and I didnt have any money to wash my clothes. And If I told them this, they will be so upset at me! So I tried to get the richest person close to my age to room with."
"So your basically just using me for money because you couldnt find a talent? Did you even try to find somthing your good at?
"Well no."
"Wow your just like everyone else."
"What do you mean?"
"You used me for money just like everyone else. I thought you would be different."
I snuggled up against his tummy and my tears went down his shirt. I feel so bad. I didnt know that about him.
"Im sorry." I mummbled, But he still heard me. He placed his arm on my side and sighed.
"Does your parents know yet?"
"No, I never wanted them to know. When my parents came over I had you go look for my purse, But I knew it wasnt in there I just didnt want them to see you. So I hid your stuff under the bed and stuff."
"Hmm are you the one I signed the autograph for?"
"Maybe, lets not bring that up."
He gigled "You really are amzing."
I gigled a little less than he did. "Thanks, you too"
I turned my head slighty, looking up at him. He both smiled at each other.
"I think you should tell your parents."
