We Have To

Hesitantly with my luggage in my hand, I knocked on his door. I told Mr.Wang, Mrs.Choa, and the other two I was leaving my hotel and going to live with him.

Well if he let me..hopefully. I knew for this journey, I wanted to spend it with him—

After the second knock I did the door open revealing him, in black skinny jeans and a white T-shirt.

Especially since he was my best friend.

I nervously smiled,"Hey Nick—" I gasped at the end when he pulled me into a tight hug. I squealed while he pulled me in lifting me off my feet and span me in our hug.

"Where have you been loca?" He beamed putting me back on my feet.

I smiled pulling away awkwardly,"Out and about. Are you..not mad at me?" I questioned confused. I thought he would be. Considering I left without saying much.

"Mad? More like worried" he replied bringing my luggage in.

"Yeah..I'm sorry for just leaving like that. I shouldn't have done that" I apologized.

Nick smiled,"As long as your alright princess."

At my nickname I felt a sense of warmth that I missed,"I came here hoping you'd let me live here again."

He laughed,"Of course I'll let you stay. The knight and shining armor helps the princess like always."

"Haha very funny" I humored back.

"Well what else do you want me to help you with or is that all?" He questioned leaning into the wall with his hands into his pocket.

He knows me too well..

"I—I need help, and I know your really the only one who can help me" I began playing with my hands.

Nick frowned raising an eyebrow,"What is it?"

"It's a long story" I quickly said.

He shrugged,"We have all the time in the world."

Why does it feel like we don't?

I shook away the thought nodding,"Okay, well.." after explaining to him everything, about NY, and how it all started it got to the point of us standing in the kitchen in awkward silence.

"Nick can you say something? Your kinda making me nervous here" I confessed as his back was facing me with him leaning on the kitchen counter.

I expected him to call me a idiot, that I was a princess who just couldn't avoid danger our trouble but instead he surprised me when he sighed,"I should've stayed with you.."

"No, Nick..Don't say that. After Singapore, moving to Korea was my choice" I explained walking closer to him.

"You moved because your Dad avoided you. I didn't contact you cause I busy fucking girls and partying, having the time of my life modeling, while showering myself in money" he spoke, angrily hitting the counter.

I jumped slightly at the sound.

I didn't know that was what he was doing..back then I would've been upset but right now I know I can't be upset. Moving to South Korea was a choice I would've made no matter what.

He turned to me as I saw how his features softened. I put my hand on his upper arm assuringly,"It's not your fault" I said with my voice turning to a almost whisper,"Just don't blame yourself. All I care about is you..staying by my side and helping me fight this."

He nodded, his hand that was incredibly warm went to my cheek, cupping it,"When do we start?"

I swallowed my saliva looking at the clock,"Now."
