The Kiss..

Chapter two

Broken

Nick still hasn't talked to me in 2 days. I'm starting to get worried. What if he never talks to me again? No way... I'm just being silly! Of course he'll talk to me, I'm his best friend.  Right?

I shut my locker and start walking to first period. I see Grayson in the distance talking to Marisa. God I hate her. I felt a knot in my stomach- I couldn't stand seeing Grayson and Marisa together. It just makes me want to go K.O. Marisa's dumb face. I've never felt this fueled with hatred. All of a sudden, one of the popular guys, started talking and high fiving Grayson. I overheard some what of what he said.

"Grayson! My man! My Gray! Wassup dude! I'm glad you're back!!" The dude who was giving high fives said..

"Thanks Ash, Ive missed you buddy.." Grayson said while patting him on the shoulder.

"NO NO! ASH BACK OFF! Gray is mine! I have been waiting so long to see him so would you let me have some alone time with him??" She then turned to Grayson and said, "Don't worry your little head babe, I already picked out my matching prom dress with your tux!"

I figured it was best to let him catch up with his old friends so I go the long way to first period. Along the way, I saw to very familiar people talking in hushed tones. They would never talk to one another so why talk now?

"Look, you want to make that nerd jealous for god knows why and I want to make Grayson jealous so it's the perfect plan. Are you in or not?" Marisa says, her voice laced with venom.

Nick looks at the ground for a while before slowly looking up and says, "I'm in."

Marisa has an evil smirk grow on her face, yet Nick only looks.. guilty? Why would he feel guilty? Whatever, seeing as the halls are nearly clear I take this as my opportunity to win back my best friend.

"Nick!" I yell and run to him. He looks back at me and once we make eye contact, his eyes flash with guilt, hurt, and something else I can't recognize in the short amount of time before a mask of emptiness takes over his face.

He turns to walk away but I grab his arm. This might be my only chance and I'm not letting him go that easily.

"Please Nick, I miss you so much. You don't understand. I need you Nick! Please say you will be my best friend again. I know I hurt you and it kills me to know that, but I can't keep going knowing you hate me. You mean so much to me. You are the only person I ever felt that truly cared about me. Without you I am all alone. Please Nick. I am begging you to forgive me," I can feel the tears sting my eyes, but I don't care. The only thing I care about his Nick right now.

I feel his arm go limp in my hand, but then it tenses up really fast. He yanks his hand away from me and walks away.

I watch him go in horror and I can feel my heart aching. I have never felt pain like this before. This is it isn't it? Nick is gone forever and there is nothing I can go to get him back.

I run to the girls bathroom in to a stall. I lock the door and sink down the wall. I have never cried this much. It takes a whole period to calm down and then another half of one to clean up.

When I eventually come out of the bathrooms, my face is baby pink from all the tears that crossed my face. I immediately put my hood up so no one can see me. I walk slowly down the halls to not draw any unwanted attention. I see Nick in my peripheral vision, he looks at me and I look at him. Our eyes lock but I quickly jolt away. As kids we had this sense whenever we were upset, when we walked past each other I had a feeling that he knew I was upset. I kept walking down the halls. I want to just walk home, because I can't deal with this today.
