*Nicole’s POV *

I was laughing with Niall while on our way to the elevator when  my phone rang.

*I tried playing it cool

but when I’m looking at you

I cant ever be brave

Cause you make my heart raise *

I looked at the screen and saw Jake calling me. Instantly, a smile lit my face and I looked at Niall, “Hold on a sec? Gotta answer this call.”

He smiled and I clicked the “Accept” button on my phone.

“Hello?”

(Hey baby, you done eating breakfast?)

“Mm-hmm! And you?”

(Nah, but I’m on my way.) And then I heard a voice in the baackground. A girl’s voice.

“Drive faster, Jake. There’s no traffic” the voice laughed.

“Who are you with, Jake?” I asked, my brows furrowing.

“I’m with… with-uh. Ella”

The smile from my face left. I felt my heart drop as if  we were on a high roller coaster and it suddenly went down. I felt my hands turn cold as well.

Ella was Jake’s…. how do you put this. Well, not really ex girlfriend but it was kind of like that. They were never together officially.

They dated back in high school. I don’t know what happened that made their “thing” stop but it did.

This is a big deal for me because I still feel threatened of Ella. Jake doesnt want to talk about her. And now all of a sudden they are going to get breakfast?

How did she even know we’re here.

(Nicole? Are you ok?) Jake called from the phone. What a very stupid question to ask.

“Yeah, I am.  Go eat breakfast.” I whispered, when really all I wanted was to tell him that I was jealous and hurt.

(You sure?)

“Yeah. Bye” I didn’t wait for him to answer  and I clicked the end button on my phone.

“Hey” I totally forgot about Niall until he nudged me.

“Hey” I said, faking a smile.

“Oh stop that fake smile, fake smile. I know you’re not fine.  I can see it in your eyes.”

“That you’re disappointed. Cause I’m the foolish one that you annointed with your heart. I tore it apart.” I sang mechanically. I was trying to avoid an awkward and tear filled conversation with my idol.

I looked at him for his reaction at my weak joke and he said, “Ha-ha.  Not funny.”

I didn’t say a thing. And it was a pretty long walk from the buffet floor to the elevator and I could tell it would be a long elevator ride as well until Niall surprised me.

“I am not leaving you sad.” He said, with concern in his eyes.

“I am not sad.” I replied.

“No, you’re not fooling me, nope.” He declared.

I sighed and crossed my arms.

“You up for brunch?” he asked

“What? I just ate breakfast. And besides, you’re supposed to meet up with Liam and Danielle, yes?”
