Chapter 43- valentines day date part 1

Cory's p.o.v

I woke up from my bed. I groaned and stretched. I slowly sat up and walked out of my room. But as soon as I did I ran into Shelby.

"Oh sorry Shelby."

"Oh, it's fine. I was looking for you."

"Oh why?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out o-on a date with me in l-like 10 minutes."

"O-oh sure"

"Great! I'll meet you downstairs! Oh and don't bother wearing anything fancy!" She exclaimed before running back upstairs . I was confused on why she wanted to go on a date right now. Then I saw the calendar. I gasped.

"V-valentines?" I whispered to my self. I smiled. I grabbed out one of my hoodies and slipped it on. I also grabbed a pair of jeans and put them on. I grabbed my mask that Uni had given to me. It worked well. 

I exited my room and waited at the door for Shelby. Soon she arrived. She was wearing a cute blue dress and her crown.

"Nice outfit choice," I said smiling. She smiled back.

"Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself!" She replied. I chuckled.

"Alright, should we head out?" 

"Yeah!" She exclaimed. She grabbed my hand and led me to the car. We both hopped in.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"It's a suprise," she said backing out of the driveway. 

"Oh ok," I said staring out the window. My attention went to my phone when someone messaged me. I read the message. It was from Bri asking me on a date. I texted her that I was having one with Shelby at the moment. She then said she'd pick me up after. I smiled. Two dates in a row! 

Soon Shelby pulled into the parking lot of a theatre. But not a movie theatre. A play theatre. I smiled widely. She parked and we both got out.

"Suprise!" She exclaimed. 

"What are we going to see?"

"Romeo and Juliet!" 

"Oh cool," I said. She grabbed my hand and led me inside. She got out tickets checked then we walked to our seats. 

"Thanks for inviting me for this Shelby," I whispered as the lights turned off.

"No problem," she whispered back as an actor came on stage. We both focused our attention on the play. I liked the lighting and costumes. I sat back and Shelby leaned on me. I smiled and blushed a bit as we watched the play.

Tommy's p.o.v

I sat in my room. I had locked the door and was sitting on my bed. Nick had left for his date with Jon. He was super excited for it, which kind of hurt me. But it's nothing! He and Jon should be together. And I'm just here, I don't deserve Nick. 

I even had my chance but decided not to take it. It's my fault if I'm sad. I sighed as I buried my face farther into my hands. Tears slowly fell down my face. I looked up and saw myself in the mirror. My eyes were red and so was my face. Stupid tears! Stupid feelings! 

I groaned and fell back wards. I looked over at my desk, seeing the box of chocolates, the bouquet, and card that were supposed to be for Nick. I even made the card myself. It looked awful though. 

I angrily sat up and grabbed the card, chocolates, and bouquet. I unlocked my door and stomped to the kitchen. I opened the trash can. Tears fell down my face. I threw everything in the trash. My tears fell to the floor with quiet smacking noises. I rushed back to my room. I locked it and laid down on my bed.

"Why do I have to like you so much?" I mumbled as I looked at a picture of Nick. I sighed loudly and wiped tears from my eyes.

"What does Jon have that I don't?" I questioned. My eye brows furrowed.

"Everything! He has everything I don't! A great personality! Great looks! Tons of fans! And t-talent..." I mumbled the last part sadly. I began weeping. But through my tears I grumbled at myself to stop crying and that I was crying for a stupid reason. In the end I passed out from how much crying I had done.

Nick's p.o.v

I sat across from Jon. We were eating really greasy pizza. He decided to take me to the new arcade for Valentine's Day. Which I didn't really mind. I was having tons of fun but I couldn't help but think about something.

That something being Tommy. Recently he had been distancing himself from everyone and mostly me. I don't know what's up with him. He won't even talk to me. When I try to be either runs away to his room or goes and talks to someone else. It kinda hurts. I sighed.

"What's wrong Nick?" Jon asked.

"Oh nothing, just thinking about stuff,"

"What kind of stuff?"

"Just some stuff that has been happening at home,"

"What's happening at home?"

"It's Tommy,"

"What about Tommy? Is he hurting you!?"

"No! Of course not! Tommy would never hurt me or anyone!"

"Ok! Sorry! But what about Tommy?" He asked. I sighed sadly.

"Recently I've noticed that he has been distancing himself from everyone, and he won't tell me what's wrong."

"Maybe he's just sad,"

"How can I make him happy?"

"I don't know, maybe he's just sad because Valentine's Day is here and he doesn't have anyone to celebrate with, Im sure he'll be fine after,"

"I hope so," I mumble.

"Anyway, ready to go play again?"

"Yeah!" I said throwing out my plate and standing up. We walked off towards the games.

Cory's p.o.v

Soon the play finished. I stretched as the lights turned back on. Shelby stood up happily. I slowly stood up too.

"That was so good!" She exclaimed. I nodded in agreement.

"My favourite character was Romeo," I said.

"Mine was Juliet," Shelby said sticking her tongue out at me. I chuckled. We exited the theatre and began walking to the car.

"I really enjoyed that Shelby," I said smiling. 

"Im glad you did," she replied smiling too. I gave her a quick hug. She looked up at me and I looked down at her. She got on her tippy toes and gave me a quick kiss. 

"W-well see you!" She said blushing. She hopped into the car then drove off. My face was light pink. I chuckled. Suddenly I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and saw Bri.

"Oh hey Bri,"

"Hey Cory, ready for our date?" She asked.

"Yeah! Let's go!" I exclaimed. She giggled and grabbed my hand. She pulled me along. I smiled. First date today went well. Let's hope number two does too.
