Nick ~ Distance pt. 2

The day after your emotional phone conversation with Nick, you made the decision to move back into your apartment. The boys respected your decision and insisted on helping you move back in. Boxes full of your stuff would trickle in every day.

Today, Zion and Edwin brought the last of your boxes. Then, insisted on helping you unpack instead of picking up Nick from the airport.

"You're supposed to be meeting Nick at the airport with Brandon and Austin." You pull the tape off of a box.

"But we want to stay here and help." Edwin finds an already opened box.

"So you two want to stay here with my emotionally unstable ass instead of picking up on of your best friends at the airport that you haven't seen for a month?"

"Yes, why can't you accept that?" Zion pulls his legs onto your couch.

"Something's off about it. But whatever. Zion either get your ass up and help or leave."

Zion's eyes grow wide as he hops off the couch and starts unpacking.

"So Y/N, what's the latest with you and Nick?" Edwin says.

"I haven't talked to him since last week."

Edwin throws an empty box at Zion. "Well, since he's back are you going to talk to him in person?"

Zion chunks the box back at him. "You really should Y/N. You both need it."

"Eventually yes. Just not-" You're cut off by the knocking at your door.

You head for the door with Edwin and Zion closely behind you. As the door swings open, Austin, Brandon, and Nick appear.

"Yes?" You walk away.

All three boys trickle in. Once the door shuts, you turn to face them. You try everything to avoid eye contact with Nick. All attempts fail and soon your eyes meet.

"What do you need? Are you here to brag about that girl? Or are you here to rub your trip to Greece in my face?" You notice Zion and Edwin have joined you.

"Y/N, stop. I'm not here to do anything but to get you back. After you hung up, I realized how fucking stupid I am for cheating on you. You're the only girl I want to have in my life. Never once have I met a girl who is as perfect as you are for me. I will do anything to get you back. I love you so fucking much." Nick's voice cracks.

You look around as you feel everyone staring at you. Zion lightly wraps his arm around your back and rests his hand on your shoulder.

"Nick, I need time to decide what I think is best. I'll have my decision by tomorrow night ok?" You can't make eye contact with him.

"I understand. I'll see you tomorrow I guess."

"Yes, tomorrow night if I don't decide earlier."

He nods. Brandon and Austin hug you before all three boys show themselves out.

"Ah shit, i have to meet a friend in 20. I'll swing back by later." Edwin hugs you before bolting out.

You turn to Zion.

"Looks like we're the only ones left." Zion taps his foot.

"Yeah," You look around. "We are."

"Do you want to go grab lunch or something?"

You slowly nod your head. "Let me go grab my purse."

"You won't need it. I'm paying."

"But I kinda need my ID."

"Your purse is literally by the door. Come on." Zion laughs.

"Alright alright." You pick up your purse before walking out.

Once you two get downstairs, you start walking towards downtown.

"Where are we going to eat exactly?" You try to keep up with Zion.

"Right here." Zion stops in front of Panera.

"My favorite restaurant." You take off towards the door.

Once you and Zion both make it inside, you step up to order.

After your order is in place, you two find a table.

"The thing is buzzing." You point to the round buzzing thing in Zion's hand.

"Yeah, want to come help?" He slides out of the booth.

"Sure." You slide out.

While walking to the counter, you trip over your own feet. Zion catches you. You two stare at each other for a moment.

"Woah, you good?" He stands you back up.

Instead of responding, you kiss him. This time, he doesn't pull away.

"Are you fucking serious?!" You hear someone yell behind you.

Quickly, Zion and you pull away from each other to see who it was.

Nick stands behind you, hand in hand with the girl from Greece.

"Are you actually kidding me right now? Why the hell is she here?? I knew it was too good to be true Nick!!"

"No you can't be talking. You and Zion were just kissing!!"

"Why is she here?!"

"Because I convinced her to come back with me for a few weeks!!!"

You stare at the two of them before taking a deep breath. "If you think you can have me a second option you're fucking wrong. I am the one and only option. I am too fucking amazing for this shit. You've been double timing me this whole time, wow. Ya know what? You don't have to worry about hiding her anymore because I'm done with you. " You storm off to the counter. "Can I have this to go?"

The server nods and returns back to the kitchen. Zion rushes up behind you.

"Well it's about time." You say.

"Sorry, I was in an argument." Zion takes the bag off the counter. "Let's get out of here."
