(Nick's POV)

Shit. Shit. Shit. Why were they sitting here? This was not good. My girlfriend, sitting with the girl that I was in love with for the longest time?! I told her she was my first love. I told her there was never any other girl. What would she do if she found out? She'd be heartbroken.... Oh no. "Nick, are you okay?" Michaela asked, her big brown eyes sucking me into her trap. No Nick! Get it together. "Yeah." I said, getting down and cleaning up the milkshake. "Baby, I'm so sorry... I'll buy you another. With extra whip cream. Just how you like it." "Um, don't worry about it I think I just lost my appetite." Gab said, looking down at her phone. "Baby, you're you! You're never not hungry!" I joked. But the look on Gab's face told me she wasn't amused. I blushed, and looked up at her. "Oh, Gab, I-I didn't me-" "I'm going for a walk. Be right back." She said to Drea, and got up, walking out of the room. I tried to follow, but Drea just shook her head, Chris did the same. Michaela laughed quietly, making me even more angry. "I'm going to the bathroom." I walked away, into a separate part of the room. I turned the corner to the bathrooms, and heard footsteps behind me. I didn't think much of it, probably Chris just trying to calm me down. "Chris, just leav-" And then she kissed me. Like full out, make out session kissed me, her legs around my waist and me wedged between the wall and her body. "I know you missed me Nick.." Michaela said, a smirk on her face. I was speechless. I had never been kissed like that before. My head was telling me to let her keep going, but my heart was quietly chanting "Gab, Gab..." I guess my brain won me over. I kissed her back, running my hands through her long brown hair. I couldn't control myself. And then I heard it. The quiet sounds of her tears. I moved away from Michaela, and saw Gab. Standing there. Her hands over her mouth, the tears coming down rapidly. Oh shit. "Gab, it's not what it looks like.." I tried to defend myself, but I couldn't. I was a douchebag. And I knew it. We all stayed quiet, but Michaela ran out, leaving me and Gab to stand and stare at each other. Gab was shaking. She sat against the wall, her head buried in her knees, the sound of her crying the only thing breaking the silence. I sat next to her, and sighed. "I loved her, Gab. The way you loved Vinny. Before I met you, I would've done anything for her. If Vinny came and tried to kiss you, what would you do? Wouldn't you want him?" And then I realized what I said. Her crying stopped, and she looked at me. Her face was turning red, which I knew only happened when she was about to scream. "HE DID COME ON TO ME YOU DOUCHEBAG! But guess what?! I fucking told him off because I LOVE YOU. I have no fucking feelings left for Vinny! but it's obvious you still feel for her!" And there it was. I stayed quiet, my head hanging low. "OH! And you lied to me! You fucking lied to me! I wasn't your first love... Is everything between us a lie Nick? Do you even really love me? Or was I just a fucking front to help you forget her?" She asked. "I do love you.. I just.." I couldn't even finish my sentence. "That's just great Nick..." Her voice cracked, and the tears started coming again. "It all makes sense now... You were always so afraid of losing me to Vinny, because you thought I'd feel the same way you do... But guess what Nick? Unlike you, when I love someone, I don't lie to them. I was fully commited to this relationship. We're over Nick. Goodbye." And with that she walked off. I stayed against the wall, tears running down my face. I messed up, and I don't think I can fix this one...
