New ; secrets sequel

"Hi..." I said, forcing myself to smile. They didn't seem to notice that my smile was fake and waved.

They both had bags under their eyes and looked tired. Nash's eyes didn't shine as they used to before, the happiness gone from them. Cameron looked almost the same.

Was it because of me? No, it couldn't be.

"Are you guys just going to stand there or are you going to come in?" Ella asked, looking at them.

Wait. Shit. Ella! They've met her before! I looked at her and her eyes went as wide as mine.

She had died her hair blonde when I did mine, but other than that she looked exactly the same.

"Oh, yeah sure." Cameron said, walking inside. Him and Nash awkwardly stood by the couch.

"Sit down!" Amber said happily. The boys quickly sat down, shocked by her outburst. Amber blushed bright red and sat down opposite of them.

"Go get them something to drink, A-"

"Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots
And a helter skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly!" I sang the Arctic Monkeys song obnoxiously, as if that was what she was about to say.

I glared at Amber as I walked over to the kitchen. She mouthed a sorry but I ignored her.

Once I got into the kitchen I began to pull out cups just as a pair of arms wrapped around my waist.

"Woah what are you doing?" I asked, pulling Nash's arms off of me.

"I felt bad making someone as pretty as you get stuff for me, so I decided to help." Nash smiled, trying too hard to be sweet.

"Don't you have a girlfriend or something?" I asked, and his face dropped.

"No, I don't." He said quietly.

"For fuck's sake, you're Nash Grier. There has to be someone." I said, unaware that he had started to tear up.

"There was one person... but she died. Haven't loved anyone since." He said, a tear slipping down his cheek.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have brought that up!" I said, hugging him.

Despite the fact that he was taller than me, he managed to get down to my level and hug me. He began to cry and I felt horrible.

"I shouldn't have hit on you. It's just, you reminded me of her so much. But of course you can't be her! She's gone." He sobbed, and for a second I felt the urge to tell him I was Anna.

No, Lacey, stop thinking that. You can't tell him. That would ruin everything you've worked for.

"I'm sorry, please stop crying. I'm sure you'll find someone that you l-love as much as you did her." I said, choking on the word love. I hadn't known that he felt so strongly about me.

"Oh, shit. I'm sorry I probably look like a wimp now." He said, wiping the tears from his eyes and moving away from me.

"No, don't worry about it, it's okay." I smiled.

"I really should get back to the others." He said, smiling at me as he walked back.

I didn't know I had caused so much pain.
