That's the time it would take to fix my heart."

Break it. Don't look at me. Stop looking at me. Look away Nash, please...don't torture me like this. It's painful. God...no.
My eyes welled up with tears as I looked at him and he looks back at me, "I can't do this." I whisper letting go of Max. "What's wrong? Sophia? Would you tell me what happ—" I didn't even wait for him to finish his sentence as I ran off.
Ran off to wherever my feet took me to. Max cried out my name but I didn't look back, not even once. I knew I couldn't and if I did I'd have to tell him what's this strange feeling inside of me— and I didn't want that.
I was afraid, afraid that he'd judge me, like all the people I trusted, he too, would judge me.
I'm sorry Max. I'm so sorry. You don't deserve this. This, whatever has been going on.
After 5 minutes of constant running, I finally stopped. When I looked around the, place was dark and dirty, probably a construction site for a new ride.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Crap, Max found me. Turning around to run off, I slammed right into a strong chest.
Fuck, a chest or a bag of bricks? I don't know.
"Max look it—" My jaw clenched at the person before me.
"What do you want?" I spat, crossing my arms over my chest, still shivering from the cold.
"What happened to you back there? You okay?" He take one step forward as he reaches out to touch my arm. I quickly pull myself away from him.
"That's none of your business Nash. Go to Lucy." God, we weren't even dating and I already made it sound so jealous.
"Is this about her? Lucy, I mean?" He rakes a hand through his detangeled black locks, sighing heavily and then closing his eyes. I scoff at him. What a jerk! He thinks I'm jealous?!
Well, you kinda are jealous. My subconscious puts down her copy of Emma and look at me.
Shut up stupid subconscious! I mentally slap myself for actually arguing with my own subconscious.
And people say I'm boring. Ha!
Well, guess what? Sophia 1— Haters 0.
"Are you...jealous?" He asks me, his blue eyes never leaving mine.
It was kind of intimidating. Nash Collins was intimidating... He really was.
"Dafuqq! Why would I be jealous?! I'm..." I scoff, "I'm actually really happy for you two. Finally you found someone you like! That's awesome. She seems perfect for you — no scratch that, you both seem perfect for each other!" I finish throwing my hands in the air and laughing at my own words.
I'm a good liar. I'm pretty good at hiding my emotions. No one ever knows when I'm lying because that's an art I have mastered now.
One minute... Two minutes... three minutes...
"You're lying." He says, now lunging forward in my direction, making me move backwards..
"Ex—excuse me?"
"You're fucking lying. I know it. It bothers you how I have a girlfriend now. It does, doesn't it? Huh Sophia?" He darts in my direction again, only stopping to point a finger at me.
"That's why you ran off. And that's why you couldn't break that stare we shared earlier. I'm correct, aren't I?" He shakes his head.
I gulp, swallowing the huge lump in my throat, I don't know what to say to him after all that he has said.
All said was true...All of it. But it didn't make any sense, I should not be feeling this way, then why am I...?
A stone in my way is enough to make me trip and fall down on the cold hard ground but...A pair of strong arms is also enough to save me from falling.
My eye are closed but when I open them...I can't help the way my lips curve into a slight smile.
Nash has his arms tightly wrapped around my body, and I'm in his arms...no risk of falling just his warmth.
"Why don't you see?" He whispers, his blue eyes searching my lifeless ones.
"Why don't I see what?" I whimper. I am not sure if I even want to know his answer or not because I don't know if it will make me happy or upset.
"This, us...me.." He uses one of his hand to signal at me and then at himself, while the other rests firmly on my back, preventing me from fall.
"Nash.." I am seriously out of words to say to him. As if realising my nervousness, God decided to break things off a bit and it starts to rain.
Funny, it always rained when Max and I were together, now it's his best friend here.
"I know I just made a girlfriend and all and I shouldn't be doing this you know," he again points at me and then himself. I am still straddled into that position — Nash's arms gripping my body and my arms looped around his neck.
"Yeah well. Thanks for clearing things up." I laugh, seeking comfort in his warmth. He pulls me up and my hands land flat on his chest.
"You are quite the envious type. Hmm." He raises an eyebrow at me, making my break into fits of laughter.
"Am not." I defend.
"Am too." He retorts.
"Whatever." I give up and move away but his grip on my wrist makes me tumble backwards, making me fall in his arms again.
"Careful now, Soph ball." He thinks he's so funny, well, news flash : he's not.
"Like I said, I have a girlfriend now and you have a boyfriend who two are probably both are looking for us. We should go." He says and I nod.
I'm at a loss of words for what happened right now.
We stand like that, the rain soaking us in it. His hair now damp just like mine. And our clothes wet, too.
"We should go." I repeat.
"Yeah well, after this." He says looking at me. Confused, I look over to him, "After wha—"
His lips crash onto my own, igniting the fire there was long lost. My eyes widen. Are we even supposed to do this? I try to push him but his grip on my wrists makes it hard for me to do so. So I do it — I kiss him back.
And that was the stupid part, I don't know the reason to it.
His lips were soft on my own, dominating and possessing. After a moment or two, he pulls away and rests my forehead against his own.
"Sophia...I.." he starts but stops just when a voice hits us.
"And I thought you were my best friend."
And we both knew who that person was.
A/N : can I just say how proud I am of myself for getting up two chapters on two days?
