tori's pov

a knock was placed at my door at about 3:30 in the afternoon. i opened the door expecting it to be brandon but instead it was nick.

"before you slam the door in my face, can i please come in and talk to you."

"fine."

"look tori, i heard what happened and i'm so sorry. i should've been the one to be here for you when this happened but i made a dumb ass mistake. i was set up tori, alecia knew that fan would be taking a photo. so she kissed me, she's been going to all my shows on tour and it was weird. i love you and only you, and i want to be there for you in times like this. i know you probably like brandon now and i understand but i just figured i needed to get that out. people always call me a cheater and i will admit i have cheated but it was only once, and it was because i knew my girlfriend was cheating on me too. so i did it out of spite. but that was a long time ago and i've never done it again. because i know what it's like to be cheated on, i wouldn't want anyone else to go through that."

"nick i don't even know what to say."

"it's okay, it's a lot to take in so i'll just give you some time to think."

"wait nick."

"what?"

"could you stay please?"

"of course."

"i like brandon, but i love you. i don't think anything i could've had with brandon could've been the same thing i had with you. i knew you hurt me and you weren't good for me so i tried to distract myself with someone who i thought was better. but i can't deny the fact that i still love you nick."

"oh my god really? i thought i lost you forever."

nick embraced me in a hug and i pulled him onto the sofa with me. we decided to hangout the rest of the day and watch netflix. but i knew i needed to text brandon.

tor 🦔: hey

b 🐝: hey, you feeling any better?

tor 🦔: yeah, i need to talk to you
about something

b 🐝: go ahead

tor 🦔: so nick is here, and we worked everything out. i'm so sorry brandon but i don't think i can peruse anything with you. i'm still in love with nick and it wouldn't be fair to date you when i still love him. i hope you can understand.

b 🐝: i figured this would happen

tor 🦔: b i'm sorry

b 🐝: brandon* and it's fine, you just played with my feelings for a week. but it's whatever. you made me feel like we had something, but apparently we didn't.

tor 🦔: i hope we can still be friends
