Afraid | Nikki Sixx {Remastered}

Chapter 22.

Carly's POV

I hung up Vince's shirt up after sewing it. I don't know how he managed to get a huge rip in it, but he did. I put the clothes rack back and then walked towards my hotel room, I need to get ready for mine and Nikki's date. i hope I can find something nice to wear, I hardly have anything nice.

I unlocked my hotel door and walked inside, shutting the door behind me. I immediately started to rummage through my suitcase to find something to wear. I settled on a light pink sweater, a gray and black plaid skirt and some boots.

I slipped those on and walked towards the mirror. I smiled at my reflection. I'm so excited to go on a date with Nikki. I walked into the bathroom after grabbing my makeup bag. I set it down on the sink and put on some makeup.

Eyeliner surrounding my eyes, mascara, blusher, and some nude lipstick. I smiled a little at my reflection. I don't ever think I look beautiful, but right now? I think I do. Nikki makes me feel beautiful. I'm so excited.

I sat down on the bed and decided to wait. Nikki said he'll come to my room and then the date will start. I'm so anxious and excited that I can barely take it.

—–

2 hours have come and gone, Nikki still hadn't shown up. I sighed and walked out of my room. Nikki told me what room he's staying in, I'll just go to him.

I walked down the hallway and saw Tommy leaving Nikki's room.

"Hey, Carls." He said. He looked me up and down. "Hey, you look really nice. What's the occasion?" He asked with a smile.

"Thank you. Nikki and I are going on our first official date, that's why I'm dressed up. Is he in there? He's 2 hours late." I asked.

Tommy's smile faded. "Oh, uh... No, he's not. I don't know where he is." He replied.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Then, why were you in his room?" I asked.

"I left something, he's not there." He replied quickly.

I walked past him and opened the door.

"Carly, I really wouldn't–" Tommy stopped talking when I opened the door fully. My heart broke into a million pieces and it feels like someone just punched me in the chest.

Nikki froze, he looked over at me and so did the girl underneath of him. He looks shocked.

"Carly–" "Don't." I said as my voice broke. I shook my head and felt tears fill my eyes. "Just continue on. Clearly fucking some random girl is more important than us going out on a date." I said.

I turned around and started to walk away as the tears began to run down my cheeks. "Carly, wait." Tommy said, grabbing onto my arm.

I yanked my arm from his grasp. "You should've just told me!" I cried and turned to face him. "Instead, I walk in there and see him fucking another girl!" I said.

"I'm sorry–" "Leave me alone! You can send that message along to Nikki, too." I said bitterly.

I walked off, I'm not going back to my hotel room. I need to go somewhere. I need to get far, far away from Nikki. I don't know why I thought this would work out in my favor, nothing ever does. Nikki has broken my heart more times than I can count, why did I think he would be any different?

I walked out of the hotel and saw Vince getting into a limo. "Hey, Carly!" He said smiling. But, his smile soon left when he saw my tears. He rushed over towards me. "Hey, what's going on?" He asked.

I wiped the tears off my face. "Nothing, just Nikki, again." I replied with a sad laugh.

Vince frowned. "Well, I'm heading to a bar right now. Wanna join?" He asked.

"Oh God, yes." I replied.

He chuckled and wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked back towards the limo. We got inside and he gave the cue to go.

"We're gonna get so drunk that we'll forget all our problems." He said.

I smiled a little. "Sounds amazing." I said and looked over at him.

He smiled. "I'm sorry about Nikki, he's just," he paused. "I don't know, really. That's just who he is." He said.

I sighed sadly. "He told me he loves me." I said.

Vince's eyebrows raised. "And? Did you say it back?" He asked. I shook my head. "Do you love him, though?" He asked.

"I don't think I'm capable of love." I answered honestly. "It's not in the cards for me." I added on and looked out the window.

I felt Vince's fingertips on my chin and he turned my head so our eyes met again. My heart beat picked up.

"Maybe we can change that tonight." He said with a small smirk.
