Summary: set right after Shiva when nick parts with his family. (Y/n) decides to go with him, because she'd do anything for love but nick doesn't seem to happy about it.
I watched as the truck filled with the people I know and love drove further into the fog. Alycia waved goodbye to me and i felt your eyes start to water. "Oh god." I whispered to myself, I felt like throwing up. It was like everything had just fell apart in minutes. Mentally and physically. Everything, no, everyone that made me feel safe and at home were gone. I threw them away for nick. I guess love will make you do crazy things. Ceilia had fried his brain. She made him think that these monsters were people just like us, but I'm not just going to let him leave everyone like this. He'll have to see the truth sometime and if he doesn't, I'll just have to make him see it.
I looked over to him and he looked at me. He almost looked sad that I was joining him. Maybe even a bit mad. He took his shirt off and put it over my head since I wasn't covered in the infected blood yet. He still had some on his arms and face so we were both camoflauged enough. He grabbed my hand and we ran for the trees. His grip was tight, it kind of hurt. I don't know how long we were running or where we were running to but all I could think about was Ofelia and alycia. They're my two best friends. I was friends with alycia way before the infected took over. I remember we would walk to school together from 4th grade to 10th grade because we were neighbors. I basically lived at the Clark's house. madison basically became my second mother. I was there for nick too. All the times he had disappeared or had to go to the hospital from over dose, I was there right by his side. We've been best friends since. Let me emphisize the "friend".
Nick and I have been great friends since the 4th grade too. Never more though. I remember his first girl friend in 9th grade, well she wasn't really his girlfriend more like "friends with benefits", no strings attached I guess. When she left him for some football player he just went on to the next girl. It was like an on going cycle. I had to watch him slowly throw his life away with all of these girls and drugs. It hurt, it still kind of does, but somehow I still managed to grow feelings for him. God I'm such a loser. " this looks promising. Don't you think so?" Nick asked me. Gesturing towards a dead looking cabin. I just nodded, still trying to control my crying. How was he okay with leaving everyone? He doesn't look scared at all. He pulled a knife from his pocket and quietly opened the front door.
The inside of the cabin was completely dark. Nick stomped his feet and banged his knife against the wall to attract infected if they were in the cabin. We waited for what seemed like an eternity but nothing seemed to come out. Nick let go of my hand and turned to me angrily. "Why did you come with me?" I looked at him a bit stunned. Was he really asking this? "Why would you leave everyone just to come with me, why would you risk you're safety to come live in the woods in this shitty cabin with me?" He rose his voice. "Because were friends nick I care about you. I couldn't leave you alone in this hell." I whispered. Nick just snickered and looked at me like I was the dumbest person in the world. He replies, "you don't care about me (y/n), nobody ever has." You were getting angry at this point was he that oblivious? "God damnit Nick, Madison cares, Alycia cares, Ofeilia cares. I care nick can't you see we love you nick I love you." I whispered to him. I continued, "I love you Nick, that's why I came out here with you! I love you god damnit why can't you see that!" I was beyond not okay at this point.
I saw him, Nick Clark, right in front of me. He was tearing up looking me straight in the eye. He whispered, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry for everything I've put you through. For the drugs for being a douche and sleeping around. I never thought anyone could actually even think of having me as theirs. I'm just not good enough for you. You'd be better of dating the infected rather than me." He finished. I engulfed him in a tight hug, and he cried into my shoulder. "Its okay, you have nothing to be sorry about. I'll always be here for you. And in my opinion, I think you'd be a damn great boyfriend." He chuckled then leaned back. I wiped his tears away with my sleeves while he stared at me with his beautiful big brown eyes. Then leaned down, his lips getting closer to mine. "Finally." I thought to myself. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he held my waist. When our lips touched it was like fireworks. How cliche right? But that's how it felt. The kiss got more passionate by the second. My hand went to his hair and we kissed for what seemed like hours. When we pulled back we were both smiling.
"So? Does this meen were a thing, err boyfr err together now?" I was getting nervous I've never really been in an actual relationship before. He just smiled that beautiful smile of his and nodded. "Only if you want to be." I kissed him again, but just a small peck. " of course I do." I replied.
