tori's pov: *the day the boys come back from tour*
i laid in my bed and sighed knowing that the boys were back today. obviously i would not be greeting nick as he came back. i planned on staying inside all day and avoiding everyone. i was back at my own house now, i left the prettymuch house after that picture surfaced.
i made sure to "rearrange" everything in nick's bedroom first. my heart was completely broken, but yet i felt like i was prepared for the heartbreak. deep down i knew i wasn't good enough for him.
i blasted bazzi really loud but i turned it down when i heard a knock at the door. it was really late and no one has been by all day. it was now 2:30 in the morning so i was shocked that someone was at my front door.
i looked like a complete wreck but i didn't care, i swung the door open to reveal nick.
"why are you here?! especially at 2:30 a.m.!"
"i couldn't sleep because of what i did, and i knew you'd be up."
"just cause i'm up doesn't mean i want to speak to you."
"tori please—"
"no nick, you don't get the satisfaction of feeding me bullshit to get me back. you keep doing the same damn thing and you keep hurting me every time. the fact that i couldn't trust you to go away for a month without kissing another girl is sad. i somehow knew you would cheat on me. like that guy at my party said, you need to get pushed back to your rightful spot. cheater."
i slammed the door in his face before he could say anything else. but for some reason nick could throw a grenade at me and my heart would still beat for him. i didn't exactly know why he could hurt me so much but i would still love him. about 20 minutes later there was another knock at my door. i assumed it was nick and i ignored it.
when i tried to fall asleep my phone went off, i groaned and rolled over to look at it.
b 🐝: i'm at your door can you let me in.
it was from brandon, i figured i'd let him in so he could say what he needed to.
i opened the door and he gave me a look of concern as he took in my appearance.
"i hope i didn't wake you up."
"you didn't, nick came by 20 minutes ago and i yelled at him and slammed the door in his face."
"i know, that's why i came over. i noticed nick left so i assumed he came here. i came by to see if you were okay."
"not really."
"do you want to talk?"
"sure."
i invited him inside and we both sat on my sofa with a respectful distance between us.
"it just hurts every time but for some reason i can't be away from him."
"he hurts me over and over again and i know that's not healthy but i still crave his love."
"tori, what nick has done to you isn't right and you deserve so much better than that. i hate seeing you like this and knowing my best friend did this. i just want you to be happy."
"i appreciate that brandon, but i don't know how to be happy anymore. i feel like no matter what i'm going to do i'm going to get hurt. nick has been hurting me for a while now. and especially with her, the girl that i can't stand. the girl that's been threatening me and trying to get him back for a while now. even though she cheated on him."
"cheaters belong together tor, you're an amazing girl and you don't need him. you're beautiful and successful and talented. you're worth so much and it won't take you long to find someone who will make you really happy. instead of hurt, you deserve to be happy."
brandon and i stared at each other for a while, until something took over me. i looked at his lips and back to his eyes, i closed the space between us. i started kissing him and he kissed back. in between making out he got something off his chest.
"it hurt me to see you with nick, because i knew i could treat you better."
i just smiled at him and continued kissing him, he took off my sweatshirt leaving me in a bra in shorts. i took my hair out of the messy bun it was in. he was now laying on the couch and i was on top of him kissing him. he had his hand on the small of my back as our lips molded together.
when we stopped i was still on top of him, but i now had my head on his chest. he had one arm securely around my body. i could hear his heart beat and i drifted off to sleep, i felt him kiss my head and tell me goodnight.
