Too Much News To Handle

i stared at Austin in silence.

"what do you mean?" i finally managed to say.

"what i said" he shrugged. "i think you should talk to him about it"

"i can't, i.... just can't Austin" 

"do you want me to do it for you?" he offered.

i didn't know what to say. i did want him to talk to Cody but that didn't sound like a good idea. i was the one who should tell him. i finally made my decision.

"okay. but i just want you to tell him i'm worried about our relationship, nothing else. if i decide to break up with him i want to be the one to do it"

"good that. let me deal with it" he smiled and pulled me in for a hug.

i waited the whole day on edge. i didn't know if Austin had already talked to Cody. if not i didn't know when he would. i was so nervous i started to feel a bit sick. did i make the right decision?

i had to wait until the SIO set was over. i was waiting backstage when the boys arrived. Maxx still didn't talk to me. Cody got closer to me as soon as he saw me. 

"can we talk?" he whispered to my ear. i could perceive he was tense. was he mad at me?

i nodded and we went outside.

before he could say a word i hugged him tight "please don't be mad. i'm just really confused and worried and i just don't know what to do" i whined.

he squeezed me back. "baby. how can i be mad at you? i just wanted to tell you that you don't need to worry about a single thing. we will make it work. i promise you"

i felt a sense of relief invading me. i knew it would work. he had promised me and i trusted him with all my heart.

"there's one thing i want you to do though" he said letting go of me and looking me in the eyes. God i couldn't resist him.

"what's that?" i whispered.

"i want you to make up with Maxx. and before you say anything let me tell you something. he's ready. i know it. he misses you and you guys can't stay like this anymore. would you do this for me?"

i nodded. i did want to but i was still scared. but i needed to do this. now.

i gathered all my courage and waited outside for Maxx to join me. Cody had offered to go and call him for me. 

as soon as Maxx got closer to me i just didn't think anymore. i threw myself into his arms and i felt him squeezing me tight.

"i'm sorry" i whispered. 

he gently caressed my hair "it's okay Kiki i know. let's just forget about it. i missed you so much"

everthing was back to normal again. i was feeling happy again. the only thing that was still bothering me was Brie. i tried to send her a couple of messages but she never answered. i was worried for her. i wanted her to be my friend again. but there was no way i could get in touch with her if she didn't want to answer. i talked to Maxx about it.

"give her time Nicks. she's still confused probably. but you guys will be friends again"

i wasn't that sure about it but there was nothing i could do. the tour was almost over anyway. a few more shows and i would be back home. i would see mom again. i would have the chance to go to Brie's and convince her that i still loved her and i didn't want us to be enemies. we were on the same side after all and i did all i could to prevent her from having her heart broken. that's what i thought. i didn't feel guilty. i had tried my best. i just needed her to understand it.

it was a hot sunny day. three days and it would all be over. i was sad at the thought of it. but that was normal i guess. i would have the chance to hang out with the boys again after all. we were all going to be in the same city for a while. i didn't know what they were planning for the future. new music? new tours? who knew. i was cool with anything as long as i could stay with them.

i was hanging out with Dan and Zach when my phone started ringing. i read on the screen Mom. i excused myself and picked it up.

"hi mom!"

"hi sweetie how are you?"

"i'm great! i'm feeling so happy right now. and you know i'm coming back in three days right? can we go to Adam's to have breakfast someday? God i miss those croissants so bad"

"of course we can! but Nicole i have something important to tell you" i couldn't perceive if she was nervous, happy, excited, sad or whatever. i just couldn't get it from her voice.

"yeah?"

she took a deep breath. "I... got a letter today. well you got a letter actually. and i couldn't help but opening it when i saw who the sender was. i know what you're thinking and i'm sorry but-"

"mom can you tell me what's that about already?!" i said exasperated.

"well. it was in fact from GNT & Co. do you remember, that job you signed up for?"

i did remember. i was sure they would never take me. it was one of the most prestigious jobs out there. and they paid so well for it.

"well, Nicole, they hired you."

i was in shock. i couldn't believe it. i was speechless. i had to realize yet that there was one more thing to it. that place wasn't in Orlando

"you are moving back to LA!"

Before i could say anything i saw Austin marching towards me, as mad as i rarely had seen him.

i was just standing there, too many things going on all at once.

"You! you know what happened with the dicks you call friends?!"

before i could open my mouth he spat out

"they've just kicked me out of the band"

I feel like the first part might be a bit boring with all those make-up things but i'm so in love with second part and i hope you guys like it too. i had fun writing about it. i hope you guys enjoyed it and i will try my best to upload- probably the last part (oh. my. God.) - tomorrow. there will be an epilogue coming out tomorrow as well so keep an eye out for that. i love you so much and i hope you have an awesome day =)
