New Boy {W.T}

Chapter 18

The rest of the time at six flags was spent going on various rides and talking and hanging out, just like we all used to.

Everyone went to go get food but I stayed behind with Haley.

"Hey Haley?" I questioned

"Yeah?"

"I'm confused" I admit

"About what?"

"Well, how do you know when things change? How can I tell what someone else is feeling if I'm not so sure myself what I'm feeling?"

"Well, I'm not going to ask any questions you don't want to answer but.. I know it's hard to feel things for the first time. I know what you're feeling. I felt that with John,"

John was Haleys first boyfriend - well now ex boyfriend.

"I'm not talking about who you think I am. I just have a million feelings and I feel like I have no one to talk about them with"

"I'm always here, you know that." She put her hand on my shoulder.

"Syds becoming so successful, and I feel like as she gains more success, I gain more insecurities. I don't want to lose her.. Or Wes... Or anyone."

"Change is scary, that's for sure. But one thing I can tell you is, with change can come great things, you never know what could come out of it. What you're feeling is 100% justified and normal. Hang in there, my sweet angel" she hugged me as I grabbed onto her tight

'My sweet angel' is a nickname Haley gave to me and calls me often.

We decided to see what was taking so long so we got up and walked to where they said they were going to be.

As we approached, we saw a show going on nearby, they do these shows all the time but I recognized the voices.

I ran to the seats to see that they were doing a looney toons karaoke show. Wes and syd were singing.

I stood up and clapped for them as loud as I could. They got off stage and Wes walked over to the boys and syd walked over to me.

I slung my arm over her shoulder

"Proud of you, S." I said

She looked down and smiled,

"Thanks"

We rode a few more rides and then we're getting ready to leave. We were going to do the same car situation when someone interrupted,

"Nikki, you're riding in whichever car I go in." Wes spoke.

"Damn, ok, ok." I said jokingly, taken back from his forcefulness.

It was Wes, brooke, Dan, Amelia, and me in our car.

Dan and Amelia sat in the front seat, brooke sat in the middle and Wes and I sat in the farthest back seat - due to his request.

He leaned in close to my head which was resting on the window.

"You tired?" I picked my head up off the window and looked at him.

"You know me so well" I giggled.

He smiled and patted his shoulder which I leaned on.

I fell asleep. Shortly after I knocked out, I woke up to him whispering in my ear that were home and him also stroking my hair.

I got out of the car and walked into his house because I was too lazy to go home yet.

Wes walked up to his room while I went into the kitchen to look for food or something.

I was like a tired zombie until I saw Sarah,

"SARAHHHH" I screamed, jumping on her and suffocating her.

Sarah was also like a big sister to me, I looked up to her very much so. Especially since she reminded me of my own sister in so many ways.

"Easy...hey nik. How's it going?"

I got off of her.

"Uh good, I guess." I kind of lost my big smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Everything just so different, ya know?"

"Yeah I get it, but you'll be okay. You and Wes take good care of eachother"

"Yeah, we do. He keeps me out of trouble, he watches out for me. I promised Rose I would do the same for him, so far I have."

"Rose loves you, she thinks you're good for him."

"Oh please, he doesn't need me. I need him. He'd be fine without me. He's all big and famous now."

"no Nikki, he'd fall apart if he didn't have you, he told me so. Everything he's going through, he wants you to go through with him.. Syd too of course"

"We're the three musketeers"

"Yes you are, now go find him, I'm going out"

"K, love you & have fun" I winked.

I walked up the stairs to find Wes on his bed, out of breath. I immediately knew why he was out of breath.

"Did you have fun eavesdropping?" I smirked.

"What? No. I did not.... But you promised rose you'd take care of me?"

He contradicted himself by saying he didn't eavesdrop but repeating a part of our conversation.

"So you did eavesdrop? But yeah I did, and I will. She loves you and she can't be with you anymore so I have big shoes to fill."

"Aww, come here" he held his arms out.

I went to give him a hug but instead he put me in a headlock.

"Wes! Not cool! I'm tired and have a headache" I whined.

"Oh I'm sorry, come here again" he moved over on his bed and made room for me.

I do what I do best, and fell asleep in his warm embrace.
