Katie's POV

"Hun, Dinner's ready. Come down." Mom says, softly.

"I'm not hungry." I croak, looking at my wallpaper.

"But we haven't eaten since we-"

"I'm not hungry." I repeat. 

She sighs. "Okay. There's food downstairs in case you get hungry." 

Okay. My heart feels like it was pulled off. My mind flashes the last time we were together saying Infinitum. A part of me wants to smile because I fell for the perfect idiot like him, and a part of me wants to cry because I fell for him.

Her steps were soon gone. I grab my phone and I stare at my wallpaper. My tears are threatening to spill. I inhale before saying "I miss you."

I close my eyes. Nick flashes in my mind. Nick here, Nick there, Nick everywhere. Whenever I close my eyes, I see him there. Tears prickle my eyes when I thought of our fights, our moments, our weird doings and our last days together. It's like he's still around me, like he lives just a few miles away. Why is love so hard? It makes me depress more and more. My face is now soaked with tears. I was having a hard time trying to catch my breath. 

Someone clears their throat, "Can I come in?"

I quickly wipe the tears away. I sniff for a few times. "Come in."

Rob smirks. "The door is actually open, Katie."

I try to laugh. "Yeah, I noticed. How long have you been there?"

"Long enough to see you burst into tears." He says. "Need a hug?"

"No thanks. I need tissues." I sniff. "And ice cream."

He chuckles. "I'll get you one. I'll be back." 

"Thanks." I smile, sadly.

Once he leaves, my phone rings. I turn around - it was so fast, my neck almost snapped and got off. It actually hurts. I stare at my phone. Nick is calling me. I repeat, Nick is calling me. I grab my phone, hands shaking. I clear my throat. "Hello?"

"Hey love." He says, sadly.

My heart fell. "Nick." 

"I k-know this is random. . . I just wanna say t-that I miss you. So much." He stutters.

My tears are coming back. My vision blurs. I want to hug him. I want him next to me. I want him to stop me from crying. I choke. "I miss y-you more, Nick."

"I'll try my best to visit you there." He sniffs from the other line. "Somewhere in forever, we'll be together again." 

I try to lighten up our conversation by cracking a joke. "I still hate you for being too cheesy, okay?" 

"Really, Katherine? We're in the middle of crying here and you're gonna crack a joke out of nowhere?" He chuckles lightly.

"I wish you were here by my side." I whisper with a half smile.

"What time is it over there?" He asks, randomly.

"7:30 why?" I ask.

"Right. You have thirty minutes left."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? AM I DYING?" I joke. I already know what he means.

"Idiot. The stars will be out." He chuckles.

"I thought 7 PM is too early for shooting stars?" 

"I said thirty more minutes not last thirty minutes." He points out.

"Oh right." I laugh. "You're such a nerd. But you're my nerd."

"Ooh. How cheesy, Katherine Allison." 

"Just Katie."

"Alright, Just Katie. You are so cheesy." He chuckles. 

I notice that this phone call was the reason why I stopped crying. "Stop trying to be Augustus Waters." 

"I'm trying to be Miles Halter!" He says.

"I think its time for you to read The Fault In Our Stars one more time." I roll my eyes.

He chuckles. "How's your family?" 

"They're eating dinner downstairs. Rob went down to get me some ice cream." I reply. "How's yours?"

"They're fine. Leila's kind of sad, Parents became quiet around me. I guess they want me to chill." He sighs. "We miss you."

"We miss you too." I say, sadly.

"HERE'S YOUR FAVORITE CHOCO LOCO!" Rob says, bursting in my room with two spoons and a tub of chocolate ice cream. "Oh, sorry! I didn't know you were on the phone."

"It's okay." I smile at him.

"Is that Rob?" Nick asks, chuckling.

"Yes, dear. It is him." I laugh. "You two should talk." 

"Who's this?" He asks, stupidly.

"It's Obama. He wants to talk to you, butthead."

"Oh. Thanks." He puts my phone near his ear. "YO MR. PRESIDENT BARACK. WADDUP?"

I laugh my head off. His facial expression changed from ITS-THE-OBAMA-BOMB to THIS-ISNT-OBAMA-DAMN. "Sorry Nick. I thought Katie was talking to Obama. . . No! Why would she hang out with him? Nick, you're an idiot."

I ask for the ice cream tub in his hand, he hands it to me. And then I pick out a movie (the movie is called The Notebook. The one Nick and I watched before I asked things about Courtney.) and place the dvd in and wait for the film to roll. I start eating as he babble with Nick on the phone. He bids goodbye, I yell out eight sweet letters in the background. 

"You really love him, don't you?" Rob smiles.

"Yes. I really do." I say as I continue eating my ice cream.

"Mind sharing that?" He asks.

"No."

"KATHERINE." He says, giving me a look.

"Here." I groan, giving him my ice cream.

"Thanks." He smirks and starts eating.

My phone vibrates. I grab for it and open my unseen message. It was from Nick. My heart fluttered, my mouth formed a small sad smile and tears were back in my eyes.

A day without you feels like dying alone. I can't breathe properly. A day without you is like looking for the sun on a rainy day. A day without you feels like an eternity. I miss you. I love you. =)
