~Present Day~
"There's a place in TriBeCa for three-thousand", Paige pointed out on a newspaper that she had been helping Carly search through
"That's too expensive. The money I saved up won't even cover two months rent", Carly says with a helpless look on her face.
" I'm gonna have to work every second I'm not in class until graduation".
I dropped the French fry that was currently in my hand in shock an looked at Carly," Dude, don't even think about not going. This is something you've always wanted", I said pointing my finger at her. Paige agreed with me," I'm not", Carly responds head strong with complete determination.
"Good, because you know how proud me and Emily are of you", Paige tells her putting her arm around me with her head on my shoulder!
"It's just an internship", she looked at us like it was no bid deal.
"Um are your screws on tight in that head of yours, seriously Carly this is an internship to in-style magazine. We are so jealous of you", I said not believing she's not screaming happily about it
"You know my dream was always to get out of here to see the outer world, the big city, but with you there that will definitely give me an excuse to go see you", I told her as they laughed at me
I've known Carly longer than Paige. I was the new vicious, violent, shy, crazy girl in school. She became my best friend an listened to my story, therefore giving me a chance. She then later introduced me to the rest of her friends which includes Paige of course, Nick her brother, Dalton Nicks good friend, Blake Paige's boyfriend and lastly Wade Carly's boyfriend. Wade came into the picture a year or two ago! When they heard my story so to say we all became the best of friends; more like family!
" or would you rather stay at the Waffle House as a waitress forever?" Paige asked her with an eyebrow raised.
"No thanks", Carly replies," yeah didn't think so", I continued to mess around with my food not feeling hungry now. Paige kept looking through the paper an Carly sat there thinking like a lost puppy!
"Hey babe", I look up to see Wade sit down next to Carly giving her a kiss on the cheek",Hi", he gave me an Paige a small smile, which Paige returned but I didn't, I just kept playing with my food
"Sorry, there these two drunk rednecks wrestling in the bathroom".
"Really?" Carly asked
"You know Wade there are no rednecks in New York", I point out to him
"No there's not", he said looking very uncomfortable, which earned me a look from Carly. I just shrugged my shoulders, continuing to play with my food
The table fell into a deadly silence I welcomed.
" well, I'm gonna go see what Blake's doing", Paige said getting up from the table. I gave a peace sign not really paying attention.
"He seems to like that car more than me nowadays", with that she made her way into the parking lot towards Blake
"Well I'm gone", I got up and made my way to the entrance, but before I could go in, I see Nick an Dalton come out to pick on a homeless man," what's up, crowman?", Dalton asks while recording it on his video camera. I shake my head an see Nick look at me but I turned back an sat down with my head on the table
"Asshole" I mutter with my head in my arms.
I hear Wade mutter 'nice' to Carly. Carly sees me upset but I don't pay mind to her
Nick wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me against him, then I feel him nuzzle his neck an mutter a 'sorry babe'. I feel dalton sit on my left and Nick is to my right facing me to where I'm sitting in between his legs, and holds me there.
" so what do you think, guys? Gonna be a sweet game tomorrow huh?", Wade asks trying to make conversation. Dalton snickers
"Yeah", Nick mumbles not really caring an takes another sip of his beer. I just rolled my eyes," hopefully it's good, or it's going to suck to travel for nothing for a crappy game", I said trying to ease the tension.
Wade didn't really do anything to Nick, but Nick is like that with everyone. He only shows how he really feels to Carly, dalton and myself. Well him and Carly ain't on good terms at the moment.
"Dalton, don't film me", Carly said not wanting to be on the film.
"What, I'm not doing anything", Dalton said acting innocent.
"Red lights on dumbass", I told him with a deadpanned look.
Nick leans over me an pushes Dalton's camera down
"Put the camera down, she doesn't like people in her face, she folds under pressure" yikes, here we go!
I took a sip of my soda
"You got something to say to me, Nick?", Carly asked closing her magazine
" no I think you've already spoken enough for the both of us, don't you?",
Dalton stands up," you guys are lame. I'm out of here, see yah"
I stood up out of Nicks grip an left. Cants really have a break without them fighting.
"Em....Emily... come on babe" I hear Nick calling me but I kept going, even passed dalton filming Paige and Blake making out
"Em.. please", Nick says getting closer but I reached the rail an just leaned on it taking several soothing breaths. Nick rubbed my back and pulled me against him with my face between his neck an shoulder," when will you guys ever get along?", I asked looking up at him. He sighed and kissed my forehead," it's gonna take some time babe!"
" I don't doubt that but please for me babe, during the ride please tone it down", I said looking him in the eyes
"I'll try baby", he said kissing me on the lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck an deepened the kiss. We made out till Paige called us to go.
