Hey guys! Did you like the last chapter? I hope. Here's this one!

*the morning after*

Ah. Man, my head hurts like a motherf - what the hell?

What? Oh, yeah. Um....good morning, I guess?

Nick, before I decide it's a really good idea to kick you in the balls, what the hell are you doing in my bed?

Well you see, last night I came over to deliver your food, and you wouldn't open the door so I used the spare. You had gotten super drunk, so I helped you in to bed and when I was about to leave, you asked me to stay.

No offense, but why would I ask you to stay?

Well, I guess you were super lonely and you said it was also because of....uh...

Because of what?

You said you didn't want 'them' to come.

Oh.

Yeah. You also, kind of opened up to me.

Opened up? What's that supposed to mean?

Well, you told me you really liked me......

Oh God.

And then you kissed me.

Jesus Christ. I really was drunk, wasn't I?

Yep. You told me you got drunk because your friends ditched you, but nobody gets pissed drunk because their friends changed their plans.

People get drunk for very interesting reasons all the time Nick. It's not that rare.

I know that. But I also know you're not that kind of person. Unless you're an alcoholic. Which you are not. So what's the real reason?

Nick......

You can tell me Tori, I'm not going anywhere.

Okay. The real reason is was that I got a call from my dad.

By your tone, doesn't sound like he brought joy from that phone call.

No, he didn't. He told me that both him and my mother decided it would be a fantastic idea to determine a divorce.

That's not good. Did he say why?

I guess me mom has been cheating on him for a very long time and he just found out.

I'm so sorry Tori. This must be horrible for you.

It is. I mean, as I kid I would always wonder what it would be like if they ever did get divorced, but...

You never thought it would actually happen.

Of course not! They were both super happy and in love with each other. Or at least, I thought they were.

Hey, not everything lasts forever. That's just why you have to stay strong.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Of course I am. Also, I was wondering...if what you said last night, was uh......

True? Look Nick, I would hate to ruin our friendship, but I guess I really like you?

You guess?

I'm positive.

Good. Because I really like you too. Now if it's not too weird, would it be okay if we kissed again?

Why even ask?

.....................

.........................

I really hate to kill the mood, but I'm really craving some beef and broccoli right now.

Only you Tori, only you.
