My friend's Little Sister // Nick Carter

Chapter 37

A few weeks passed by and I haven't seen Nick since. I ignored him, because I was scared and embarrassed to face him. I really hope this one mistake doesn't destroy our friendship.

Another bad thing is that our photo from the filming day was in a teen magazine. What else?

I had no one who I could talk to about my issue. I didn't like talking about crushes and love stuff with my mom. Who could I talk to? Brian? Samantha? Bobbie? Everybody would tell Nick or laugh at me, especially Brian.

I could talk to one person and that was Amanda. That night when I got to my house stressed, embarrassed, with my heart pounding, I called her.

"Amanda." I said when she picked up the phone.

"Hey..." She replied slowly. "Is there something wrong? You don't seem so cheerful."

Amanda was the person who could guess my feelings just through the phone.

"Everything's wrong!" I said. "I'm so embarrassed. I shouldn't have done that."

"What?" Amy was confused. "What happened? Does it involve Nick?"

"Yeah." I said and sighed.

"Owww." She said amused. "Are you the new Orlando couple."

"No! Amanda stop! It's not funny!" I said annoyed. I had enough of girls pairing me up with Nick.

"Okay. Chill, Karla." She said in a more serious voice.

"So I messed up and kissed Nick." I said in one breath.

"You what?" Amanda was surprised, but I could catch a bit of amusement in her voice.

"That's awesome! Why are you upset."

"You don't understand." I said. "I did it without thinking and without even knowing if he likes me back."

I took a deep breath.

"And then I ran away."

"No way, Karla!" Now she sounded disappointed. "Why did you do that?"

"I don't know!" I said loudly. "I panicked! I don't know if he even likes me back! Oh God, I completely messed up." I sighed.

"I'm sure he won't be mad or anything." Amanda giggled.

"It's not that. It's the embarrassment." I told her. "I think I will ignore him."

"Karla, you can't escape from your problems."

My friend was right. I had to face my problems, not run away from them. You probably think that I'm overreacting, but this is actually normal. If you have a crush and you do something embarrassing in front of them or they figure out you like them, the only thing you would want to do is hide away from them.

Now I'm in Los Angeles back on set while the boys are chilling in Orlando. I'm going back on Christmas and they are starting their new tour on the 23rd December. I guess I won't see them soon.

Amanda is coming over for Christmas which is great. My mom, Amy and I will be eating the Christmas Eve dinner alone in our house. I was sad that Brian couldn't be with us, especially on Christmas.

"Did you send them presents?" Asked me Amanda on Christmas Eve.

"How? They are touring around Europe in different cities and countries. I can't send them something while they are on tour." I told her as if she was silly.

"Okay. Okay." Laughed my friend. "What about Nick?"

"I haven't talked to him at all."

"Really?" She sounded disappointed. "What if he likes you? Did you think about that?"
