The next morning, I got out of the bed in my hotel room and changed into my outfit I bought yesterday. I didn't have my hair stuff with me today so I put my hair into a messy bun, which didn't look bad at all.

When I finished, I grabbed my guitar and phone, then left for the events today. My plan was to just avoid everyone because I know they're just going to attack me with questions.

When I got there, I didn't have any meet and greets scheduled for today, so I went straight to the stage. Unfortunately, that's how everyone else's schedule was for today.

I walked backstage to see everyone standing there waiting for me. You could clearly see u had been crying since my eyes were red and puffy.

"Nik-.." Charli started to say but I stopped her. "I'm not in the mood. Just leave me alone, all of you." Thy all stayed quiet and I walked onto the stage, with my guitar and the mic.

"Hey everyone, so I wrote a song last night because I had a bunch of free time and j wanted to share it with you all.. here's my song, heather."

I looked over at josh quickly before a started. He looked upset, but he deserves to be after what happened.

I started to sing my song while I played the guitar.

"But I watch your eyes, as she
Walks by
What a sight for
Sore eyes
Brighter than a
Blue sky
She's got you
Mesmerized
While I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half, as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester, but you like her better
Wish I were Heather"

I finished singing and stepped off stage, the crowd of fans cheering me on. Josh looked down as I walked right past him. I looked at the boys quickly and I think they knew what happened because they looked at josh.

"You kissed her didn't you." Jaden said to josh.

"She kissed me. One of her friends took a picture and sent it to her, she sent it to me." Josh said to Jaden. 

I just kept walking away, ignoring everyone.

"You kissed her didn't you." J said in disgust to josh. That girl at the bar with her friends was hitting on josh all night. I guess we were all too drunk to stop that.

"She kissed me. One of her friends took a picture and sent it to her, she sent it to me." Josh said while running his hands through his hair. He usually does that when he messes something up.

We were going to stop Nicole so we could all talk to her, but she was already gone.

"I can't believe she wouldn't even talk to me!" Charli said while looking down.

"Char, you remember when her parents left.. this exact thing happened.. she wouldn't talk to anyone. It will get better, she needs to just listen to us." Dixie said as she walked over to Charli.

I hate this whole situation. If it wasn't for me it wouldn't have happened. The guys night was my idea. If we never went, we could've been on good terms with everyone, and Nicole wouldn't be writing depressing songs.

"Ok, does anyone know where she could be going? Josh you check your room.. maybe she's packing, we will check everywhere else." I said while looking to everyone. They nodded and went off.

I went up to mine and Nicole's room hoping to find her there. I unlocked the door and sure enough, her suitcase was on the bed and she was throwing her clothes into it while crying her eyes out.

"Nik.." I said as I shut the door behind me.

"Go away." She said, not even looking up.

"Let me explain. Please." I said desperately. Finally, she gave in and let me talk, her full attention on me.

"That heather girl, she kissed me. I was too drunk to realize. Like remember with you and chase a year or two ago, you didn't realize. Seriously Nik please.. I love you and only you. I'm sorry I was such an asshole yesterday morning. I can't lose you." I said while sitting on the bed next to where she stood.

She didn't say one word. She stood infront of me, slapped me in the face, then hugged me. "Your right, you were an asshole, but you gave me a second chance so you can have one too." She said while becoming more calm.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around her, resting my head on her shoulder.

"Oh and by the way, you are the most gorgeous girl. Heather is nothing compared to you." I said with a smile.

She smiled at me and we both just laid in the bed, cuddling for the rest of the day.
