Nick and I and been friends for years.
Who would've thought it would end like this?
Anything is Possible
Brittany's POV:
I hadn't seen him in over two years. He was touring the USA with his band and I was home riding my precious beasts, horses. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting to see him here; not while I was back in Florida interning, not ever, for that matter!
Staying in my old house brought back years of joyous memories: swimming in the pool, playing soccer in the backyard, running or biking to his summer house and then the dreaded time in mid-August in which he left for New Jersey and I went back to school.
Sitting here, I thought back to the years where the trips became shorter and his music career began to take off. Eventually, we grew apart. Slowly though, something began to change. Three years ago, his parents forced them all to come back here for the entire summer and that was when Nick and I became the closest we had ever been, almost too close for comfort. Feelings started to develop, and it scared me. I don't know if he noticed but I certainly did. The more I felt, the less time I wanted to spend with him because of the way it made me feel, the way "he" made me feel. Weeks before summer ended, I stopped going over all together. I stopped answering phone calls, and texts, and doorbell rings. Using his key, he came in one last time. I told him that I needed time to breathe; he got the message and I never heard from him again.
The memories piled in as I drove away from my house and into the grocery store parking lot. I even bought some of "his" favorite things to comfort me.
What the…is that….no…it can't be. But it is! I thoughtto myself as I pulled into my house.
Shocked as I was, there sat that oh so familiar car, "his" car. I must be daydreaming. I closed my eyes momentarily to refocus. When I reopened them, the car was still there, just as I remembered it. My heart began to beat faster and faster. As I fumbled with my house keys, it fluttered faster than a hummingbird's wings! I turned the key in the lock to find that it was already open. He still has his key? H kept it after over two years of not visiting?
I walked into my kitchen, put the groceries down, and turned around to find an all too familiar face smiling up at me from my leather couch. Oh…my…god. This can't be real! I managed to spit out a hello in between my thoughts and my shock. He just kept smiling and let me regain my composure. As my mind came back to earth, we started to catch up and fill one another in on the past two years of our lives. Many things had happened to us in the years we spent apart. He had dated Miley and Selena, sold millions of records, graduated high school, and all while touring the world! I dated here and there, but nothing serious until my ex of a few months. I was the stereotypical preppy nerd who was surprisingly popular. All of these things went on and I still missed him. Almost like magnets, he stood up and I stepped right into his now waiting arms and lingered in the sweetest hug ever!
"Want to head over to my house like old times?" Nick asked me.
"Sure! I haven't seen that house in years!"
"Well….that's…nevermind." Nick mumbled.
We walked inside his gorgeous summer home and sat down still conversing about life. He explained why he was the only one of his family members here and as he did all the feelings I had for him rushed back harder and faster than ever before, and this time I was fearless. A few moments later, something or rather someone, I wasn't expecting seemed to pop out from the shadows. It was her…his apparently on-again girlfriend Selena Gomez. I was incredibly hurt that he neglected to mention her before now, but shortly after introducing her to me, he stood up and led her into the kitchen. All I could hear was the two of them fighting and his last sentence, "It's over Selena, please leave!" I was ecstatic to say the least! Not because Selena was hurt, but because it meant I had a chance to tell him how I felt. After he strolled back into view, he explained why he had broken up with her, not that it was any of my business, but he needed to chat.
"I loved her, but not in the way I thought I did. She and I are better off friends." He stated.
I looked down at my watch and noticed that I need to drive down to the barn and feed the horses.
"Nick, I would love to stay here forever, but I need to go finish up my last task of the day at the farm, but I will see you soon!
"Meet me back here at 7:30. Gabi and Zach want to see both of us. " Nick informed me.
"7:30, I'll be here! "
I fed the horses faster than I had ever fed before, all the while being very careful. The drive back to my house seemed to take hours as I made the familiar turns and curves into my neighborhood. Quickly, I ran inside my house, showered, "beautified" myself, and started my BMW again in order to meet Nick back at his house (There was no way I was running in my cute dress and heels over there! ;) ) As I walked up his front porch steps, I nearly tripped, overcome with nerves! Right after I composed myself, the door flew open and he met me with open arms. He was as excited to see me as I was to see him! We stayed outside and swung on his poor swing for a while. Laying my head on his shoulder, I relaxed into a position I was completely comfortable in. Moments later, He turned to face me, and took my hand in an instant.
"Britt, I have something to say, but I don't know how you'll react…." Nick stuttered.
Sorry did have time to type the rest right now! Had to leave it at a Cliffhanger :( ! I'll finish the rest tomorrow! :D
