Hurting

Nick's POV
The next morning
I answered my phone. It was Daniel.
'Hey dude.' I said.

'Hey mate, how was your date?' Daniel asked.

'It went great.' I said happily. 'I really am starting to like Rebecca.'

'That's awesome. I'm hungover.' He chuckled.

'I feel bad for you mate.' I laughed.

'Oh, don't.' He laughed too. 'Joe and Katherine are also hungover.'

'Wait, Katherine is?' I couldn't believe my ears. 'She got drunk again?'

'Yep.' He said. 'I literally had to take her home, she couldn't walk straight.'

'Lol you twats.' I grinned.

*** **********************************************************************
So I decided to go and see Katherine after I phoned Danny.
I decided to walk as it was a nice day. I put on some shorts and a t-shirt and sneakers then I made my way to Katherine's.

I knocked on the door.
Mrs Calvin answered. 'Oh, hi Nick.'

'Hi Mrs Calvin, is Katherine here?' I asked politely.

'Yeah, she's upstairs. Go straight up.' She said and let me in.

'Thanks.' I went straight upstairs to Katherine's room.

Katherine's POV
I heard a soft knock on the door and the door opening.
'Katherine?'
I opened my eyes. It was Nick.
He smiled in amusement. 'Hi. How are you feeling?'

I couldn't help but feel happy about Nick coming to see if I was okay. 'Yeah. Well, no. I feel like shit. My head hurts and I can't move.'

He chuckled. 'Why am I not surprised? Daniel told me you got drunk.'

'Shut up.' I closed my eyes again. 'Could you close the curtains? My head is killing in this light.'
He crossed the room and pulled the blue curtains together. Then he came and sat on the edge of the bed next to me.
I was still hurt about him dating Rebecca, but I didn't say that.
Instead I asked him how his date went.
'Yeah, it was great.' He grinned. 'I really like her, you know. She's at college today, but I'm thinking of making plans with her after.'

'Great.' I forced a smile. 'That's really good. Really.'

'Oh, that reminds me.' He said. 'Erm,' He looked slightly uncomfortable. 'Katherine, I'm thinking of asking Rebecca if she wants to start hanging out with us. As in, you, me, Daniel and Joe. Then you could really get to know her.'

'What?' I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

'Yeah, you know, an addition to the group. I mean, we've already got Harry, that crazy guy. He's thinking of joining the group. And you could ask Natalie? And maybe Skylar? That'd annoy Daniel.' He chuckled, oblivious to my change in mood. His phone suddenly rang. He answered it. 'Hello? Oh, hey dad. Yeah. Okay. Right. Okay, bye then.' He finished his call. 'Sorry K, but I've got to go. My dad needs me at the garage.'

'Yeah, okay.' I didn't look at him.
I was too hurt.

'Bye K.' He said and left.

'Yeah, bye asshole.' I said sarcastically when he'd gone.

I was infuriated. How could he do this to me??! Was he deliberately trying to hurt me? He admitted to Daniel that he liked me and now he was with her?!
But whether he knew or not, he was hurting me.

'Yeah, well, two can play at that game.' I muttered darkly, picking my phone up and dialling Hoffman's number.

He answered after the third ring. 'Hello?'

'Hey Hoffman, it's Katherine.' I said.

'Oh, hey Katherine!' He sounded happy to hear from me.

'Hi. Listen, I was wondering if you wanted to do something tonight? Like go out, or something.'

'That'd be great. I was honestly hoping you'd ask.' He said flirtily. I giggled. 'I'll plan something for us, yeah?'

'Yeah, sounds great. Call me later then.' I smiled. 

'Sure thing beautiful.'
