My friend's Little Sister // Nick Carter

Chapter 26

I don't know how much time has passed since I escaped from my house, but I really didn't care. I was sitting on a rock near a small lake in a nearby forest. Nobody, but me knew this place and I was glad I could be here alone. Sometimes I didn't enjoy being around people.

I was sitting there and thinking of everything, especially my dad. How could he do that to me? I thought we were family. He had changed... I knew that.

"You okay?" I heard someone's voice and turned around my head to see who decided to interrupt my privacy.

It was Nick.

"Umm..." I turned my head around again to whip my tears off. I didn't want him to see me like this. "Yeah, Im okay." I said facing him again.

"I know you are not." Nick replied and sat next to me on that rock.

"No, everything is okay. I promise." I said looking at my feet.

We sat there in silence for a few minutes when Nick broke it:

"You can trust me, ya know?"

"Yeah, I know." I sighed. "It's just that..." I couldn't find the right words. "It's, it's too complicated."

"What?"

"Everything." I looked at his ocean blue eyes. I could get lost in them, but I didn't let that happen so I looked back quickly at my hands that were plying with a bracelet.

"Why have you been crying?"

"Oh, that..." I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell Nick the truth about what my father did. "It's nothing, don't worry. I... I just watched a sad movie, that's all."

"Yeah, what movie?" I knew that he didn't believe me so I started thinking of any sad movies.

"Ugh... Umm... E.T." I tried to be as convincing as possible, but Nick still looked at me with the same face expression. He didn't believe me, I was sure about that.

"You are lying, Karla, and you know it."

I stayed silent, I didn't say I word. I was just staring at my feet, as if they were the most interesting thing to watch on this planet.

"So, will you tell me what's bothering you?" Nick broke the silence again.

Well a lot of things are bothering me, for example me having a crush on you, Nick or that you don't like me back or my father being not a father to me anymore, I thought...

I sighed. He was one of my best friends, it would be unfair if I didn't tell him the truth.

"Well..." I started. "my father hurt me."

"What?! Physically?"

"No, no!" I protested. "Not physically!" I shook my head. "The thing is that he used me for my money..." I mumbled trying to hold back the tears again.

"What?" Nick almost yelled. "He's your father for God's sake!"

"Remember that Mercedes?" I asked looking at him. Nick just nodded. "Well, he bought it with my money. And a lot of other things too."

Nick stayed silent while a tear flew down my face. I tried to hold back the tears, but they wouldn't stay.

"Hey, don't cry." Nick said with the most gentle voice that I've ever heard. He turned my face with his hands, so I was now facing him again. Nick whipped te tears that were falling down my cheeks.

"It's just..." I sobbed. "He... he didn't even apologize. Like he doesn't regret using me."

Nick gave me the biggest hug that he had ever gave me. I hugged back and we stayed there for a long period of time.

Even though Nick probably didn't feel the same about me, I was glad that I had a friend like him. He could always cheer me up in bad situations and the feeling that I get being near him, is the best feeling on earth.
