Promised

Chapter 3: The New Begining

I couldn't stop thinking about Nick, how he wanted to protect me and he liked me,he liked me. I wasn't sure if I liked him back but if I did he'd one day break my heart. I have dated a few guys and once I tell them what happens at home they run away, I end up crying all alone so I promised myself that I wouldn't fall in love with him or anyone in that matter till I figure away to get away from my problems. But you can never get away from your problems that's just avoiding them.

           It's been a month since we had been hanging out, I'm at his house almost everyday. He says his parents question if we are dating, he tells them no; I'm glad he doesn't say maybe or one day cause that would give them hope and maybe we will get together after I fix my problems.

           Nick tells me he likes me a lot he calls me sweet names like: babe, honey, princes, and a bunch more. Whenever he calls me one of the nicknames, I know he's just kidding around but I give him a look of disappointment. To be honest I kind of like the nicknames they make me feel special but then they don't.

           "Hey babe" Nick calls so I can wait for him, I turn around and look disapproving Nick just smiles.
"Hey, what's up?" I say to Nick
"Do you wanna come over tonight? You can stay over for dinner, I'm making spaghetti tonight."
"NO! I-I " I pause cause he was looking at me with concern cause it wasn't the first time he has asked me to have dinner.
"Don't worry it's not a date, my parents invited you, cause we are hanging out so much, they like to know who I'm hanging out with, they can be a bit over protective."
     "I can't I'm sorry" I turn around and walk off
     "Wait, wait, wait, wait; why do you always turn away from me when I mention my parents, or your parents?" I hate it when he gets to concerned about it or questions my decisions. "Please Margie, tell me why you get so distant from me when I mention parents?"
     "Nick I can't tell you here, not at school, I wasn't ever planning to tell you, till I figured out how to get out of it but; I think maybe just a little bit I can trust you." I said not looking into his beautiful hazel eyes. He gently pulled my chin up so we can look at each other
     " you can trust me, with anything" I hate it when he talks in his everything will be alright voice cause it makes me like him more and more.
     "Ok; fine I say with hesitation, but I'm not going to your house to eat dinner, till we are dating, if we are dating one day" thinking about he might not like me that way anymore.
     "When we are dating." He kissed me on my forehead," one day I'll be kissing those lips of yours; if you let me" the last part he smirked
     "Only if I can get out of this" I tell him him not looking into his eyes anymore.
     "Ok, so we have been talking for a month now and you haven't told me what you have to get out of" he says trying to match my eyes with his, but I won't budge.
     "I said!" Having a tear in my eye,
     "Hey, hey you don't have to cry" in a soft tone  wiping my tear away "why are crying?" I hesitated a little,
     "Becau--"
     "Hey Nick!" Some of Nicks rowdy friends came up to us, "what happen you never hangout with us anymore" I know they totally said that because I was there and they didn't like me, cause of the whole Zayn incident.
     "I've just been busy with school" Nick replied.
     "Listen Nick, we should all; except Ms. Princes over here,hang out tonight. How about you stop hanging out with her and just with us. You had your time with her time to move on with your life" one of Nicks friends said looking back between us both.
     "You know Nick you really should" I said turning around to get away from them all before they can see me cry.
     "Let her go" I hear the same friend tell Nick I knew Nick would come find me, but when the day was over and I hadn't seen Nick since this morning or gotten a text from him I realized that he hadn't of cared of me. And that night I was going to tell him my biggest secret and he would of ran away.
