It Could Be More

Chapter 2

"You're beautiful." He said to me and he grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers together. I looked down at our hands and then looked back up at his hazel eyes. I pause and the breath I took in gets caught in my throat. "You're not Nicholas.." I mumble out and he just gives me a sickly smile. "You're not meant for Nicholas, you were always meant for me, remember that sweetheart." I pull my hand out of his, remembering when I used to love that touch. "Leave me alone." I turn to walk away, but he pulls me back. "Don't ever think I'll be completely gone, I'll always be here." He kisses my neck gently and smirks "And you'll always love me."

I awaken with a fright and Nicholas is still sound asleep. My face feels sweaty and I can't help, but feel a single tear running down my face. I had nightmares often and they were always about him. He was just a distant memory, but I still couldn't seem to get him out of my mind. Nicholas started to turn and he looked over at me, my face now wet from all the tears that silently fell. He sits up "What's wrong?" He takes his hand and wipes my face off. "N-Nothing.." I stammer and I turn my head and look away. He sighs and grabs me into a tight hug. "Scott's gone. There's no way he'll ever hurt you again." He whispered in my ear, as if he knew exactly why I was upset. He lays back, dragging me down to lay with him and I just lay my face on his chest.

~Flashback~
He was possibly the cutest guy I had ever met. He was a lot taller than me and his body was always warm compared to my freezing cold body. He made me feel important and I couldn't imagine my life without him. His hugs made me feel safe and the way he made me feel made me feel like I meant something. Guys are all the same though. He was texting on his phone and I couldn't help, but notice it wasn't to me. "Who's she..?" I asked my heart slightly breaking. "Just a friend." I sighed and I nodded, heading home. I got home and I was tired and I quickly fell asleep as soon as I laid on my bed. I woke up a little while later and I checked the clock. It read 6:48. I picked up my phone hoping for a text from Scott, but what I found was horrible. "He's cheating with me." "Why would he care about you?" "You're pathetic." Being me I broke down and started to cry as I texted him with tears streaming down my face. "Are you cheating?" Is the first thing I text him and within a minute he's already texted back "Yeah, I didn't care about you anyways." My heart shattered into a million pieces. I threw my phone down on the pillow and I sat in silent tears. All the tears and upset made me tired and I cried myself to sleep. Waking up I forgot about everything and then all the depressed washed over me and I sat in bed. Every morning he would come over and I heard him tap on the window. I sighed and sat up going to the door and unlocking it for him as he walked in and tapped my nose like he always did. I walk into my room after him. I sat on my bed beside him, where he always laid down and I stare at my tv, as it was playing a movie. I couldn't help, but look back at him. His eyes were closed and he could obviously care less. I lay back and put my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arm around my shoulders and squeezes gently. "Im weak.." I think to myself. I had loved him way too much and I had given him chance after chance after chance. There was just something about him I couldn't let go. Maybe it was that I thought he might've been different. Maybe it was the fact that he was there when I needed him, in the beginning. Maybe it was the fact that he was the first and only guy I had ever loved. 
~End of Flashback~

I looked up at Nicholas and smiled. He looked back and poked my nose. I jolted back and he looked shocked, "Maddie what's wrong..?" I look down sadly and whisper "N-Nothing I just.." my whisper turns silent and I just shake my head. "Come on let's do something today, it's Saturday." I smile a fake smile and stand up. I walk over to my dresser digging through my clothes and I look over at him. "What are we gonna do today? Depending on what we do depends on what I'll wear." He rolls his eyes "Uhm, movie? Beach? Cuddle??" He teases jokingly and I shake my head. "Beach it is, loser." I smirk and grab my swimsuit and some clothes to wear over it. I walk into the bathroom changing into my suit and I walk back out. "I think I have some of your swim shorts here still from last time we went." I dig through my drawer and grab them "Here they are." I throw them over to him and he smirks. He starts to pull down his pants in front of me. "Nicholas!!" I yell covering my eyes. He laughs "I'm only teasing Mads." He walks towards the bathroom and shuts it behind him. I walk to my window and open the curtains revealing the nice hot sun in my room. I take in the nice warm heat and then I see a moving truck at the house in front of me. Workers were taking in a lot of furniture and I was being nosy and was trying to see who was moving in. I notice an older women who I recognize, pointing inside the house, telling the worker where to put the chair he was holding onto. "Where have I seen..." I begin and then look over at a boy. My heart drops and flutters at the same time. "I-It can't be.." The boy looked over at my window and noticed me staring. He smirked and waved.

"Scott..." I whisper to myself and shut the curtains.
