Promise you won't leave...(Nick and Jojo)

Part 19

Jojo pov:
I met Nick after school in front of the school, where we always met. He came on running. Exhausted he tried to explain himself,' So-Sorry, the teacher stopped me and I wanted to meet you behind the school during break, but I had to help a classmate, she really wouldn't let me go!' I just smiled,'Nick, just relax, take a deep breath. It's okay. You don't have to be around me 24/7.' 'But I wanted to.. I just couldn't!' I just told him that he didn't do anything wrong. We got Aileen from the nursery and went back home to Nick. I fed Aileen and sat onto the couch next to Nick. I didn't even really notice that I fell asleep with little Aileen in my arms. My body leaned against Nick, as if it was a reflex. Eventually, Nick woke me up by taking Aileen away from me because I would probably have crushed or dropped her. He put her into her little bed and sat back down. I playfully put will my arms around him and moved even closer. He just laughed. It ended up with me, resting my head on his lap. He was watching some kind of action-comedy series and eventually started to play with my hair. It felt nice, warm, comfortable. Just this moment...everything was so...good. For this one time things were good. But of course, perfect moments don't stay forever. His phone rang. 'Hello? Oh...Uhm hey Stella? What's up?',I heard him talking. Stella found out his number...and wanted to go on a date with Nick...alone...just the two of them. I was looking a liiiiiiittle bit disappointed and jealous when Nick agreed. Tomorrow evening. Apparently, he felt like he had to explain himself,'You know...I just agreed because I know that she's kind of tried to kill herself before. And it was because of one of her crushes. I don't want her to hurt herself, especially not because of me, you know?' 'Oh no, I totally get that, just treat her right', I responded. If he only knew...
Later that day, at around 11 pm I yawned and told Nick that I would go to sleep. I went into the bathroom. I was washing my face when that date came back to my mind. Left wrist, four deep cuts. A bandage. Cleaning. Redressing. Done. You don't want her to harm herself, what about me, Nick? Do you even care?...
I was just about to go back to the sofa, where Stella had slept last night, but he stopped me. 'Jojo, I really don't want to bother you with this but I'm worried about you. You know, I don't want you to wake up from a nightmare like that again, with nobody around to really hear you, I wouldn't have heard you either that night, if you hadn't screamed that loud, so would you please sleep in my room? I mean, just if it doesn't make you uncomfortable or anything.' I agreed and smiled. He's cute when he is worried ablut me, although he really shouldn't be. Just a waste of time. I would be dead in less than a year anyways so...
I moved Aileen into Nicks room and lay down on his bed. Of course, he had to make me suffer again and stripped off his shirt, right in front of my face. At this point I didn't know if I  was feeling uncomfortable or irritated by his perfect body, just like the day before. He put on his pyjamas and lay down next to me. We talked a little bit ablut school and stuff, and about Stella. He didn't love her, I got that. But still, everytime he said her name, something inside of me tensed up. A little while later, I fell asleep, close to Nick, my hand resting next to his head.
