"Nick, you need to get your stuff from your house." Lloyd told me. I'm sitting at the kitchen table, drinking orange juice, pretending not to hear him. I don't want to have to face Lexus. I'm afraid that she'll want me back, and i'll just let it happen. Or to be harassed . "Nick!"

"What?!" I groaned.

"You need to get your stuff. You need to officially end it with her." I stayed silent. He sat in front of me and gave me look that just said "Listen to me." I turned away. "Nicholas.." hearing my full name instead of just Nick from him made me feel awkward. Whenever he says Nicholas, it's usually cuz i broke something or i look sad and am refuse to talk. It meant something was wrong or important.

"I don't want to" i mumbled.

"I'll go with you" he requested. "You can't let this control you, Nick." He stopped for a bit. "Also you have like three- thousand dollar guitars there." i smiled.

"I guess you're right."

"Shh Oliver." i semi shouted. I opened the door to see Lexus on the couch, wearing a large t shirt and shorts, her hair up and her makeup off.

"NICK!" She exclaimed as she ran to hug me. I resisted the urge to hug back. "I'm so sorry about what i-"

"Save your breath, I'm just getting my crap." i said coldly.

"Nick, please listen, i was drunk. I didn't-"

"Being drunk doesn't excuse you for that." i cut her off. I started walking towards my room upstairs. I picked up some off my clothes.

"It was a stupid mistake. I still love you please just come back." she pleaded.

"NO! YOU LOST YOUR CHANCE."

"Nick please i love you"

"You will never get to love me again." I grabbed my stuff and walked out. I gave Lloyd my guitars and picked up a few other of my belongings. And finally left.  I felt good about standing up for myself, but i also feel guilty and regretful. My eyes became slightly misty on my way back to Lloyd's,
