|Chapter: 50|

"What is it then? I've noticed you're acting different. You're kind of avoiding me. D-did I do something wrong?", I tried again. I was so done with him ignoring me. I knew something was off about him and he wasn't telling me.

"I told you already its nothing. Will you stop bothering me?", he was clearly annoyed but I didn't do anything to make him and he never behaved like this towards me ever.

"Sal you're acting weird." Then I don't know how that thought even came to my mind but it just did. "Is it Nick? Did he say anything to you?" If its really him then god help me, I will kill him for threatening my bestfriend.

"Yeah you hit the jackpot. Its him."

"What did he do?", I asked afraid to know what exactly but I had too.

"Because he kicked out the girl I was finally starting to like." He brushed his brown hair back.

"Who?"

"Sasha Peters, of course."

I won't lie but that actually hurt me. Sasha was openly insluting me and his twin sister during the bonfire. Did he not see that?

"You... you like her?" He simply nodded.

"But she clearly don't like me and Sarah", I muttered without thinking. I immediately regretted when I saw his face change into a frown.

"What does it has to do with me liking her? I don't like you guys boyfriends too. Did that stop you from dating them? So stop being a hypocrite", he snapped making me flinch with fear. He was so rude with me for the first time. I've never seen him this way. And being the crybaby that I am, my eyes started to flood up.

"But you deserve..."

"...someone better. Oh please Ser don't give me that crap." He rolled his eyes. I didn't 't know this person standing infront of me anymore.

I quickly rubbed my cheeks dry before taking a shaky breath and walking away.

I went upstairs to our room. Pulling out a hoodie over my head, I got ready to join the others outside. The boys were getting the grill ready.

From my peripheral vision I saw a blonde sitting all alone on the edge of a wood. I felt guilty for the way I thought of her before. She was always there for Nick. Even now she sticks around after everything. Now, I know why Nick was so protective of her, why she meant so special to him. She was special.

I didn't notice I was already walking to where she was sitting with her back facing me. Maybe its a bad idea. What if she thinks I'm trying to sympathise her?

Walk away, walk away my mind kept chanting. But since I is a dumb...

"Can I-I sit h-here?"

She looked up with her puffy and red eyes like she has been crying.

"Its a free country... but you can't", she tried to sound harsh, but her cracking voice was surely failed her from doing so.

Anyway I sat my ass down. She was scary, but since I know she actually is a softie inside and the same girl who stood up for Nick, I was at my ease.

"Isn't it crystal clear that I don't like you?"

I nodded.

"Then why are you here? Oh wait let me guess. You're not satisfied with making Nick kick my bestfriends out. So you're here to argue with me and then he will kick me out for breaking his little princess heart. But guess what? He wouldn't dare." She crossed her arms over her designer coat.
