Falling back

Chapter 7

Nina POV

    Great Ian's at this gym, I've been working out for about 1 hr now and decide to take a break and go sit on the bench and take a sip of water. I look down and see the locket, totally forgot I still had it on, after Ian sent me the text I was debating on whether to text him back but I decided not to because that would just make me feel weird. 

    The locket is special to me because it was the one gift that meant everything to me I remember Ian giving it to me 

*Flashback* 

    Ian and I are sitting on the couch in my living room, today's my birthday and he took me out to eat and we went on a nature hike it was great spending alone time with him. We barely have time because of filming, interviews, photoshoots, and so on it's hard to get time alone. 

    "I have a surprise for you Neens" he get up off the couch and goes into the closet and comes out with a tiny box "Here you go sweetheart" I take the box from him and open it up. There's a gold locket with little designs on it. I gasp and look at with tears in my eyes "Ian, thank you I love you" and stand up to kiss him, a slow and sweet kiss. He pulls away smiling "I'm glad you like it took me forever to find it, Happy Birthday my love"

*End of Flashback*

    That was 3 years ago and now look at where we are I thought back then 3 years from then Ian and me would still be together happily and in love but now he's married to my ex friend and I'm single. I open the locket and look at the picture, my thumb brushes over the picture and I smile I want to go back to that time everything was right. 

    Paul comes over and bumps my hip I close the locket and look at him. "Hey Nina, why are there tears in your eyes" my hand goes up to my eyes and he was right there were tears coming out I didn't notice "Oh it's nothing" I quickly wipe the tears away. He nods and walks away walking toward Ian, Ian looks at me with concern our eye's meet for a second then he looks away it always hurts when I know that I will never have him again. 

Ian POV

    My heart aches when I see Nina looking down at the locket and looking at the picture of us. My mind and body just want to go over there and hug her, Paul is talking to her and then he walks over to me "Hey, Ian?" Paul claps his hands in front of my face and snaps me out of my trace "Yeah what's up" he chuckles "If you want to go and talk to her so bad go" "You don't understand Paul it's awkward, say that you are me and you dated Torrey and then you guys broke up then you dated then proposed to her best friend is that not awkward" I look at him.

    "Ok I understand but look at her she's obviously still heart broken and did you see the look she gave you at the bar and here, I could, I saw her heart break. You think it's easy to see you with Nikki, you know how many mornings I've woke up and saw Phoebe texting Nina and see Nina text I regret leaving him or I wish I never ended." I stare at him shocked then I look at Nina she's packing her stuff up and put her glasses on. 

    Then my body reacts before my mind does my feet are running towards her and grabbing wrist she tenses up then turns her head "Ian what are you doing" her voice is shaking a little, god how I've missed hearing her saying my name. I pull her toward the back, "Ok listen I don't know what to say but I know that I should say sorry" she pulls her glasses off and I see those brown eyes that can make anyone melt. 

    "Say sorry for what Ian?" she says I grab her hand "Listen I know that you're still probably mad at me for going out and marrying you friend.... well ex friend but I want you to know that I'm sorry for hurting you" Nina just nods her head then says "Um yeah look I got to go bye" then she runs out of the gym and gets into her car and drives away.

(At Ian and Nikki's house)

    "Nikki I'm home" no answer I look around the house, I find her in the living room watching TV "Hey babe" I go to kiss her but she dodges me "What's wrong now" she stands up and switches to Entertainment Tonight. There's a picture of me and Nina at the gym. 

    "Well Nian fan's looks like our 2 favorite people are getting back together right? Well maybe Ian Somerhalder was in the gym with Paul Wesley working out then our angel Nina Dobrev walks in looking hot in her shorts and sports bra. One of our sources says that the 2 didn't even talk they only looked at each other, then Nina took a break and looked down at the beautiful locket that she has around her neck, sources say that Ian gave that to her for her birthday 3 years ago. They say they saw her crying looking at it then when Nina was about to leave Ian grabbed her my the wrist and those 2 talked and then paparazzi caught Nina walking out tears running down her face. So that's that moving on next Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher talk about their family."

    And with that Nikki turns off the TV and looks at me I can see rage in her eyes "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING TALKING TO NINA HUH!!? WHAT HAPPENED TO I WAS THE ONLY GIRL FOR YOU, I KNEW YOU WERE LYING TO ME!!!" I'm sick of this if she can't trust me than what kind of marriage is this "Ok you know what Nikki I'm sick of you being a bitch, I already told you once there's nothing going on with me and Nina, and that little "talk" we had I was just saying sorry for hurting her. Because that's what kind people do unlike you, you cold hearted bitch" she slaps me and grabs her purse and heads out the door then turns her head "You know ever since we saw Nina at the bar you've been an ass, maybe she's the problem so that problem needs to be removed" then she's gone.

    What does she mean by "that problem needs to be removed" those words spin around my head. Then it hits me like a rock I grab my phone and call Paul "Dude go to Nina's house now" then I hang up grab my keys and jacket.
