EDWIN'S POV: We really hoped Simon would let us cancel the tour. I know it sounds horrible, but none of us wanted to be on the same stage as Nick. We got back into the studio today, but none of us are really feeling it. Zion and Brandon glare at Nick the entire time. Nick's silent. Austin's clearly uncomfortable. I'm texting Naomi, non stop, that's my best friend, I'm gonna see her, I've got to. I know she's still hurting, it's only been a few days since everything went down.
We're her best friends, this is the part where we're supposed to be by side her side, with her, there for her. But we have to go on tour soon, time's running out. So we will see her, Nick's the only one who won't be able to. Finally, she gives in, just as the studio session ends.
"You guys, she said we can come!" Brandon, Zion, And Austin stand up with huge smiles on their faces.
I hand Brandon my phone and he reads our exchange. A huge smile spreads across his face.
"Yes, okay how about we leave tomorrow. She's not too far away, it'll be like 6 hours but we can make it happen ."
I watch Nick's face light up from the corner of my eye. he still doesn't know where she is, he thinks he's getting closer. I gesture for Z, B, and Austin to leave the room.
I walk back into the studio by myself a few minutes later, Nick's just sitting there silently, a single tear rests on his face. It's hard to even feel sorry for him though. He hurt my best friend, made her feel things she should have never had to feel, broke promises she needed him to keep.
"I know I fucked up Ed-"
"Yeah, you did." he looks up at me like he's surprised. Did he expect me to disagree?
He's got bags under his red eyes, bruises all over his face.
"I need to see her."
I don't say anything.
"I need to. Edwin, I love her. I need her. She's my everything I can't-"
"Nick what the hell is wrong with you?" The words come out of my mouth slowly. "How could you still be so selfish? All you're worried about is how much you need her, did you ever think about what she needs? Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, all she needs is to be away from you?"
"What?"
"You keep hurting her. And then she'll walk away, because that's what she needs to do, she needs to get the fuck away from you and then you pull her back in and you hurt her again. That's how this always goes, you keep doing it, you never learn, you don't want to, all you're worried about is yourself. But she finally learned, Nick. She finally realized that you're not gonna change, as long as she stays with you, you're not gonna change."
"That's not true."
I don't respond.
"Edwin, that's not true, you're wrong."
"She needs space, Nick. She needs you to change and until you do, she needs space, because she's in love with you Nick, and all you do is hurt her."
