Why Me?

Chapter 3

I felt the warmth of Nick's body next to mine, he was beautiful. His body was strong as heck and his six packs were so visible, a masterpiece indeed. He stroked my hair gently then layed his head on my chest. Home, this is what I felt. Nick made me feel secure in a way no one else ever did, I cant even explain it.
I love how his curls are always messy, and how his dimples are always so deep and obvious, and how his soft smile crosses his lips whenever he looks at me. I loved everything about him ,all the little things.
I love how-

That's when I found myself on the floor, with Goldie licking me...What a great day to set myself on fire.
I layed there for a few minutes, when I finally decided to wake up and headed towards the bathroom, I washed my face, brushed my teeth and put on a floral dress that I bought earlier from Forever 21, it was colorful and gave me some cheerful vibes, I loved it so much.
I got down the stairs to greet Nick, when I found him kneeling on the floor, looking like a mess.

"Nick?" I whispered, not even recognizing how red his face was as he wiped his tears away.
" I-I am sorry, I'm just.." He tried to explain, when suddenly a curtain of tears fell down his cheeks, he was completely hurt, broken, miserable, I could see it in his eyes.

I sat next to him on the floor, and patted his back softly. It was like a curse to see him like this, I hate seeing people in pain, it makes me feel completely hurt. I knew how it felt, I was this way for years.. I felt the anxiety fill my brain, so I pushed my thoughts away.
I found Nick looking straight into my eyes, I looked away blushing, he let out a small laugh when he suddenly apologized again and looked away.
" Don't apologize, I know how it feels. Even though I don't know what happened to you, I can still see how hurt you are, just...please don't cry, I promise everything will be okay. I will be here and I will help you through whatever you're facing" In a one big breath, I told Nick, who saw the concern in my eyes and was amazed at how fast I said these words.
"Why are you doing this?" He, surprisingly, replied.
" I-I don't know, it just saddens me to see you like this..."
" Thank you, thank you so much" He said, going for a hug, but he turned away shyly, noticing that we were still not that close.
"Um, wanna go to the mall? I need to do some shopping." I offered, finding any excuse to change Nick's mood.
" Heck yeah!" He screamed, and his eyes glittered with delight.
"Yayayayay! High five"
Nick grabbed his worn out backpack and followed me to the garage.
~~~~~~~~~
We reached for my car, and I turned it on, feeling excited for this day. Nick brought up different topics to start a conversation, he was fun to be around, and I loved talking with him so far. He mentioned his passion for football, and how he's always been a couch potato all his life, just like me hehehehe.

He also talked about his mother's family, who live in San Diego, and only visited once in a while. I talked about Lauren, who-by the way- has an infection and will stay in a bed for a week, poor Laur!

We talked and talked, until we reached the mall and parked.
He rapidly got out of the car, and opened the door for me, such a sweetheart I swear.
" S'xuse me, mademoiselle" Bowing down, he took my hands and let me inside the mall.
~~~~~~
" You idiot!" I said between laughter, as we made our way to Forever 21, where I picked out some jeans and a pair of pink shoes.
" What do you want to do next?"
" How about.. going to the movies?" I answered back, with an excited tone, and my hands infront of my chest, as if I'm begging​ Nick, like a little child.
He laughed at how I looked, and nodded in agreement.
~~~~~
" 2 tickets for Beauty And The Beast please"
Nick asked the woman behind the counter, she was pretty old, around 50, and had dark red hair that looked perfect with her round face.
" Ooh I see you're on a date" She answered, and gave me a wink.
" No no I'm not- "
" We're engaged actually" Nick interrupted me, and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
What. The. Heck. Just. Happened
I blushed, and I could already feel my cheeks burning, I looked away and let out a small laugh.
" Why did you do this oh my god I hate you so much"
" I like to mess with you, you look so cute and stuff"
He said in a low tone, and I barely heard him, but our conversation stopped when the red-haired old woman laughed at us and gave us our tickets.
"Good luck babes" She screamed as we made our way through the cinema hall.
~~~~~~~
Beauty And The Beast was amazing, it was always my favorite Disney movie, because it showed me that love isn't all about looks, it's about what you feel when you're next to this person. Differences between us can never stop it, as love is certainly undefeatable.
~~~~~~~~
I couldn't stop thinking about Nick, and how crazy these last two days were, it was eerie but certainly the best two days of my life.
Nick and I headed back home, I took off my clothes and put on my polka dot pjs, I took a quick shower and dashed to my room to do my homework.
Writing. And as much as I love to write, I hate school assignments, they are all so boring and just.. so fake. What's the point of writing about something if I don't even believe in it?
Like, I once had an assignment about "Being Healthy"... so irrelevant , I'm a couch potato who probably exercises only twice​ a year.

Anyways, I decided to go eat some leftover pizzas instead, I found Nick in his room, as always, doing some schoolwork,
"Want some?" I offered, motioning towards the pizzas.
"Yeah, I'm starving"

Putting some pizzas on the plate, I headed to Nick's room and pinched his arm.
" Ow, what was that for?"
" Don't know, just felt like doing it" I chuckled, and he rolled his eyes, then let out a soft smile.
" What are you up to, Zoey?"
" Meh, some writing assignments. I hate it so much"
" Oooo, I can help if you want"
~~~~~~~~
I accepted his offer, and brought my paper and pen from upstairs and took a seat next to Nick.
" Okay, you need lots of descriptive languages, for this is a narrative writing. You know, when you're writing, close your eyes, and try to imagine the scene in front of you, look at the details, every single detail will be helpful for your writing."
" Okay, I'll try to write.. meh"
" Wait, let me show you a previous writing I did before .. not a school assignment though but it's one of my best"
He took out a piece of paper from his binder, and handed it to me. I started reading it instantly.

" Love, this eerie yet beautiful feeling.
The spark you feel when you're next to your loved one.
The butterflies in your stomach.
The way they make you feel.
How the world stops, and it's only the two of you.
The little details, that people often forget.
This is what love is all about.
It's scary, yet so exciting. "

" Nick, this was beautiful."
" Thanks, I love writing."
Nick was a passionate person, he had a lot of dreams, and I completely respected this.
~~~~~~~
Running back to my room, and putting Nick's advices in my head , I started writing.
The words flowed perfectly, and with ease. I've never written this way before, Nick's words certainly had an impact on me.

I wished Nick a good sleep, he did the same and we got ready for bed.
