Your P.O.V

Standing by the library's doorframe with clenched teeth, I stared ahead at Sabrina and Nick. The sight of the two of them laughing and talking together was infuriating. I knew the Sabrina would never do anything to hurt me. I also knew that what I felt for Nick was not one sided. Still, though, I couldn't help but feel suspicious at the way the pair seemed to get closer.

I assumed that since Nick seemed so busy with Sabrina, he had probably forgotten or changed his mind about our plans for today. So, after blinking several times to pull myself out of my trance, I sucked in a deep breath and turned away, the tight feeling in my chest growing as I began to walk toward the dorms. At least I could get an early night's sleep.

I sighed at my failed attempt to find a silver lining. There was no way I was going to sleep at all tonight, let alone get an early night's sleep. Not with the whirlwind of thoughts spinning though my constantly overly anxious head.

My overthinking had distracted me from all sounds, and I hadn't noticed the loud footsteps that followed behind me until a hand had been placed on my shoulder. Startled, I spun around, nearly dropping my books when my eyes landed on Nick's.

"Oh," I couldn't think of anything to say. Self consciously, I said, "hi, Nick..."

"Hey," he grinned that charming grin of his. "You didn't forget about our plans tonight, did you?"

I wanted to roll my eyes and answer with, "no, but you looked more interested in hanging out with my best friend, so," but his mesmerizing brown eyes kept me quiet. Instead, like a fool, I just stared at him with a slightly gaped mouth, not doing what to do or say. I wasn't normally like this, but I guess envy was eating me up inside.

"Y/N?" When I was pulled out of my thoughts, I noticed that the endearing smile on his face had turned into a concerned frown. His eyes still stared down at mine as he spoke. "What's wrong?"

I hadn't realized that tears had stupidly stung my eyes until I noticed the way Nick gazed down at me worriedly. When did I get so low to get upset over a guy? I guess I really, really liked Nick— more than I've ever liked a guy before, and I thought the feeling was mutual. I couldn't help but feel like I was losing him and honestly, it hurt.

"Nothing," I shook the feeling away and broke eye contact with Nick for a mere second to blink the unnecessary tears away. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" He looked at me in uncertainty.

"Yeah," I lied, bitterness dripping from my voice. "I'm just tired."

"So tonight's off?" He frowned, disappointment masking his face.

I nodded and said nothing, knowing that whatever I said would sound extremely stupid and sad. We stood staring at each other. Nick was clearly confused and I was doing everything in my power to hold a straight face. I just wanted for this to be over so I could head to my room. I wanted to forget about everything I've ever felt for Nick. I knew I seemed so petty and dramatic, but I couldn't help but feel this way. He and Sabrina honestly seemed so much closer than Nick and I have ever been.

"I know something's upsetting you, Y/N," Nick sighed, eyes fixed onto mine and making my knees feel weak. "Why don't you want to hang out tonight?"

"Because, Nick," I snapped, "you seem like you'd much rather be with Sabrina than with me."

I cringed internally at how pathetic and jealous I sounded. Never had I ever heard myself say anything as low as this.

"What?" His voice was laced in shock and disbelief, "you know spending time with you is my favorite thing to do."

"I know, I'm sorry," I mumbled, taking a step up the stairs, not wanting to humiliate myself any further. "I'll see you tomorrow."

His large hand grabbed onto mine, stopping me from walking any further. I bit the inside of my cheeks and looked at him, waiting for him to say whatever he wanted to say so I could just leave.

"Hey," he whispered, his eyebrows furrowing even more than before. "You know that, don't you?" He asked, referring to his previous question.

Though I didn't know what to think, I nodded anyway. His hand was still softly holding onto mine.

"I mean it, Y/N," he continued. His voice was lower and more serious. "I wouldn't rather do anything but be with you."

The three foreign words that left his mouth next put me into a state of complete and utter shock.

"I love you."

Taken aback, I couldn't bring myself to do anything but stare at him. For a moment, his face was blank, eyebrows furrowed and lips parted in a look of nervousness at what had just come out of his mouth. Eventually, though, his lips curved upward into a kind, contented smile and he stepped closer to me.

As much as I wanted to say those three words back, wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into a hug, I was stuck. Frozen in place, I couldn't move a single muscle. Still, his smile remained, and as though he could read my mind, he continued to step forwards until we were only inches apart. His tall figure hovered over mine, his neck curling inwards.

All my doubts were long gone and forgotten when our lips finally touched.
