Finding her

NICK'S P.O.V.

Click.

That's the sound your heart makes when it feels like its finally in the right place after a really long time. After finally confessing to Alessia how I felt, and finding out she liked me too, I was, in lack of any other words, ecstatic.

After a long time of fighting it, we finally confessed our feelings for each other. I guess its true what they say that no matter how hard you try to hide away from some things, they always find a way back to you.

But of course, before anything could further happen between us, I'd have to tie up some loose ends. Loose ends being Makayla.

To be fair shes was the only loose end. To finally break up whatever I had with her that I probably should have pulled the plug on since the very beginning. Frankly, we never got emotionally attached and I was dead sure she wouldn't even be affected by the fact that I was breaking up with her.

Or... that was what I thought till I drew her aside from her minions to have "the talk".

"Makayla, I think we need to talk."

"Sure, Babe. What about?" She asked, pressing herself to me and locking her hands behind my neck.

This was going to be awkward.

"Us." I said, not so carefully removing her hands and placing them back down. "We need to talk about us, Makalya. I don't think this is working for us anymore. This whole dating thing. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to break up with you. We're just not compatible and its really no ones fault but I really am sorry, if it helps."

She looked just as I thought she would, indifferent.

But then, there it was, a tear.

Was she crying?

Oh, fuck she was crying.

"I'm sorry, Makayla. We can still be friends though." Even I knew that was a lie. We could never be friends for as long as she was out for Alessia. She would have to deal with me.

"Okay, Nick. Thanks for being honest with me." She wrapped her hands around me. I allowed it for three seconds. Just three seconds and then, I detached myself from her and bid her goodbye.

Waving her off, I made my way to class to find the only girl I wanted in my company at that moment. Who as soon as I stepped into class, for some reason was ignoring the shit outta me. Why? Don't know but I sure as hell was going to find out.

ALESSIA'S P.O.V.

Lies. Fucking lies.

'I like you' he said. I almost outwardly hissed at how stupid I could have actually been. That he had actually been honest with me?

Bloody hell. If that were the case, He'd be anywhere else right now but in the halls with Makayla all over him. Somehow, a part of me doubted that but lacking the mental strength to ponder on it any further, i quietly stalked to class and took a seat only for him arrive just a few minutes later. His eyes landed on me and mine, anywhere else but his. I willed myself to pay attention to the classes for the day which ran by quite quickly.

Just like that, school was over for the day and I attempted to bolt for the door as soon as the crowd of my classmates had cleared. Attempted, being the operative word but of course, he had to stop me.

Nick had a firm grip on my arm that forced me to turn back to him. Of couse, I could always shrug his arm off and walk away but what kept me still was the look in his icy blue eyes.

"Why are you ignoring me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." I know this wasn't the mature way to go but mature was something I didn't want to be. If I wanted to be bitchy about something, I'd be bitchy.
