Valeria

After Vinnie posted that long paragraph I guess you could say I had a change of heart. I mean it took my about week but I had a change of heart. Not only for him, but for Nick too. Yes they both hurt me, but they're the two closest guys to me and it literally hurts when I can't talk to them because I'm so angry with them. So I decided that I'll give them a chance to talk about what happened, obviously on separate occasions. First up was Nick. I texted him to meet me at a random coffee shop near the Airbnb that me and Willow were staying in.

When I got there, I sat at a booth on the farther side of the coffee shop and waited for Nick to come. About 10 minutes passed before I saw him walk through the door and head straight to the table that I was sitting at.

"Hey." I say, pulling the sleeves of my shirt down over my hands. "Hey." He says.

It was an awkward silence that engulfed us before Nick spoke up again. "Valeria, I'm sorry for not telling you. I was supposed to be your best friend and I fucked that up because I was so worried about me and Madison... That I didn't even care if you were going to be hurt in the mix of all the Vinnie drama." He looked down shaking his head, obviously disappointed. "It's fine." I say, but he shakes his head.

"It's not fine. I wasn't supposed to let that happen, I was supposed to tell you and be honest with you because you've been nothing but honest to me. I let you get hurt and I've been regretting ever since I told Vinnie I wouldn't tell you."

"I forgive you Nick. I don't need you to explain it to me, because I'm tired of going through the same emotions. I'm tired of thinking about it... I'm just tired. I want to be able to rebuild our friendship again and get to the level of trust we were at before. Is it going to take some time? Hell yeah, you hurt me. But im willing to stick it out, only if you're also willing." I tell him. Believe it or not, but I missed him. He's my best friend and he's never done anything to intentionally hurt me. I don't take him not telling me the truth was to hurt me, it was more to save himself. Nick and Madison were on the rocks and he's more invested in his relationship, as he should be. Could he had at least told me? Yeah, but we were going to move on from that.

"Of course I'm willing to. I missed you." Nick states, before he pulls me into a hug.

"So. Are you planning on having a convo with Vinnie?" He continues.

"Uh yeah. I mean I feel like I owe it to him. He wrote me this long ass apology online for all his followers to see, so I can't just act like I never saw it. He knows I still follow him, and I definitely saw it with the amount of people who tagged me on Twitter and Tiktokroom." I say. "You don't owe anyone anything, but yeah it would be nice for you two to at least settle things and for you to get your closure." Nick tells me.

"I don't even really want to do this though. Like before I wanted a relationship with him. I still, somewhat, want that relationship, but I don't want to hop back into things after everything just went down. Yeah it was 3 months ago, but to me it's all still so fresh."

"The best advice I can give you is to take your time. Don't rush back into things with him when you're still unsure of your feelings towards him. I think Vinnie is a great guy for you, I really do. He made a mistake but he owned up to it, and you deserve someone who can acknowledge when they're wrong and will take the effort to grow and change." Nick reassured me , as he rubbed my back. "It sounds like you want to date him." I chuckle.

Nick laughs along with me before we continue to talk about other things that's been going on in our lives.
