Chapter 12

"Please let me in.... the door man is gone, please just buzz me in all I need to do is talk to you, just give me five minutes and I will leave." All I wanted to hear was that buzz noise, but I didn't hear it. My phone began to ring and it was Nick.

"I called you like and Hour and a half ago, I need to go to sleep."

"Give me five minutes, that's all I'm asking for. If things don't change I will leave and you won't hear from me again." I heard the noise I was longing for and opened the door and hastily walked to his apartment. He opened the door but his face was not necessarily welcoming.

"I'm sorry...." he didn't move, he didn't even let me inside. "I don't know what I should say to you to forgive me, all I can say is that Brian means nothing to me as a boyfriend, but as my best friend I care for him and that's never going to change." He finally let me inside and he sat down.

"I feel like you love him, I feel like I'm a rebound." He cracked his knuckles and stared at the t.v.

"That is so far from the truth, you need to trust me, even if you don't trust him I want you to Know that I would never do anything to hurt you." He sighed but didn't even glance my way.

"What would happen if he said Kate I'm moving here we should hang out." From the moment I met Nick I never wanted to lie to him, I felt like it would be best to be completely honest.

"I would hang out with him of course."

"You should leave." He got up very quickly but before he could head to his room I grabbed his arm.

"Brian was my best friend, I grew up with him, I am never going to stop caring about him, If he ever asked me to be his girlfriend again I would say no, that was the biggest mistake I have even made. But please believe me when I say I'm over him!" I started to cry even harder that when I talked my voice would crack.

"I honestly don't know what to feel right now, I'm afraid I'm going to lose you, and he is going to be the reason why, I wouldn't be able to handle that." Even though I felt like he hated me at that moment he pulled up his sleeves and wiped the tears from my face. "Please don't cry, I don't want to hurt you, I just want the truth."

I felt Like I couldn't breath but I tried to get the words out as best as I could.

"Nick, I'm falling hard for you, you make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world, Brian never made me feel like that. He was an asshole, but to be honest as a friend he was awesome and I miss that. If you were to ask me to forget Brian for you, I don't know if I would be able to do that, I will never ever be his girlfriend, ever, but if he were to ask me to stop seeing you, I wouldn't be able to do that either, all I want is to keep him as a friend and to keep you too, as my boyfriend." He still had his hands on my face, he didn't say one word

"Please don't leave me." The tears kept falling. He wiped my face one last time then he turned around and walked to his room. I couldn't stop crying, I walked to the door and realized this relationship was done and there was nothing I could do.

"Wait." I turned around to see Nick standing still with a black box in his hand. "I got this for you." I didn't know what to do, should I accept or say i didn't want it?

"Nick, all I want is you, I don't need any gifts." He slowly walked over and opened the box. It was a diamond necklace. It was so beautiful.

"Nick I cant accept thi..."

"Can I put it on for you?" He grabbed my hips and turned me around and proceeded to put the necklace on. "Kate, I picked this up after I left your house..... I want you to know that you have some kind of hold over me, no girl has ever made me go this crazy , I just want to know that you feel the same about me." I turned around so fast and hugged him.

"I do I do! and I want you to trust me because Brian means nothing to me when It comes to a relationship." He looked at me and I couldn't look away. He meant so much to me.

"Can you stay tonight, we can talk everything out?" He did not let go of my hug.

"I don't want to keep you up, you have to leave so early tomorrow."

"We are going all the way to California, I can sleep on the plane." He smiled, and I smiled back and gave him a kiss.

"Will you take me to the airport, a lot of the guys are having their wives and girls take them." I grabbed his shirt and gave him another kiss

"Of course, how can I say no to such a cute guy?!" he laughed and took me too his room.
It was about 3:00 in the morning when we both laid down. I put my head on his chest and we quickly fell asleep.
