Nina's P.O.V

I order a taxi and somehow manage to head home- still shaken about what just happened. Walking to the fridge I grab a cold drink, and decid to call Jules, I needed someone to talk to, and Jules understands. She always does.

"Hey Nina!." I hear her voice on the other end of the line, which seems to always sound so optimistic.

"Hey Jules." I try to reply back in the same tone.

"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"

Damn it, she saw right through it.

"Can you...come over right now?  I need to talk to someone."

"I'll be right there." She hangs up and I patiently wait for her to come. I check my phone consistently, part of me is telling myslef that I'm just checking for updates from Jules, what time shell be here, then there;s the part of me that wants to see a message from Paul, a call, a voicemail, anything. But nothing.

I hear a knock on the door and immediatley rush to the door. "Jules..."

"Come here." She wraps her arms around me and pulls me closer. I start to cry, knowing that everything's messed up, and nothing I say or do is going to fix that.

Paul's P.O.V

I head home for the second time today, still confused by the thoughts of what happened today. 

Why does she do this to me?  Why do I still feel for her? After all this time.

I slowly enter my apartment and find Phoebe sleeping soundly on the bed. I picked up a box of chocolates on the way home to apologise, but I know chocolates aren't going tho be enough.

I creep towards the bed, careful not to make a sound. Closing my eyes, I try to go to sleep, but everytime I did, Nina's face popped up.  Her soft olive skin, doe eyes and beautifully plump lips.

I mentally curse myself for thinking of Nina whilst laying near Phoebe. I turn to the side and gently stroke Phoebe's face, reminding myself that tomorrow ill have to explain why I was so late. I look at Phoebe and don't see admiration, I see guilt.

And hopefully, all that guilt will go away.

A/N: sorry, i know this is so short 😭 But something is better than nothing right?
Ill try to update again this week, I HAVE TIIMMMEEE yayyy ahaha. ❤❤
