He could feel his heart shattering in his chest and tears burning behind his eyes as he stared into her giant watery blue eyes. "Nick… Do you remember a few years ago, when you thought you had met your future self and he told you, that one day you were going to do something to me that I may not be able to forgive you for and I said that I'd forgive you, no matter what…?" He couldn't form any words, afraid to speak out loud, feeling the sob that was rising in his throat, so he just nodded. He had never felt such fear and regret in his entire life. He was about to lose her, he knew it, he could see it in her eyes. He was about to lose Jessica Day, his best friend, his sunshine in the rain, the love of his life. "I never thought I would say this, especially to you… I don't forgive you and I don't think I ever will. I'm moving out, Nick. Don't try to contact me. Ever. I'll be civil with you for the sake of CeCe and Schmidt's Wedding stuff, but after this is all over with, I never want to see you again."
Nick felt as though he had been hit by a freight train. As he blinked his burning eyes he felt a tear run down his cheek. "Jess, Please don't do this… You're everything to me, I can't lose you. You're my best friend, Jessica please… I.. I lov…" Jess threw her hand up in the air, the gesture came out incredibly angry. "NO! Don't you dare say that to me, Nick Miller. You don't get to say that to me." He could hear the severe pain in her voice as she spoke. "You did the one thing I asked you NOT to do. I mean did I mean anything to you at all? Actually… you know what? I already know the answer to that… It's pretty obvious to me now, that you could put any woman in that bedroom and you will go after her. It's out of pure convenience for you isn't it? You've always been lazy, Why go out and find a woman when you have one right across the hall?"
Nick just started at her, pain coursing through his entire body. "Jessica, that's not true. You mean so much to me, I've never felt the way I feel about you about anyone in my entire life. Reagan was just there, Jess. I missed you so much and she was just… there." He let his shoulders fall in defeat and let his eyes drop to the floor. "Yeah, she was just there. In MY bedroom. Not only did I show up 2 days early to surprise you, only to find you making out with her right in front of our… Your home, but you slept with her, in my bed. ONE thing, Nick. ONE fucking thing." He looked back up at her, fully expecting what he was about to see. She was staring at him with a icy stare that sent a shiver down his spine. "Falling in love with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Goodbye, Nick" And with that she stepped into her bedroom, slamming the door in Nick's face. That was the very last time that he ever saw her enter that room.
His mind couldn't stop replaying the words she had said to him two and a half months ago, right before she left for Jury Duty in Portland. She had tried to say it in a joking manner, but Nick could hear the nerves in her voice and feel the tension in her muscles as he held her in his arms, hugging her, for what he was now sure would be the last time. She pulled back slightly, looking up at him with the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen and a nervous smirk on her red pouty lips. She stepped up onto her toes so she could whisper in his ear without the other roommates hearing.
"Promise me you won't go falling for the girl across the hall again, Miller."
Nick felt his skin break out in goosebumps, feeling her hot breath on his skin.
"I promise, Day."
Nick somehow managed to make it into his bedroom and shut the door before his legs gave out from underneath him. He curled up onto the floor and let the sobs that he had been holding back for the past 45 minutes finally come out. After what felt like hours, he finally pulled himself onto his bed, stripping off his clothes as he went. He layed on his back staring at the ceiling until finally falling into a restless sleep. When he awoke the next day, She was gone. The only thing remaining in her room was her bed, still made up perfectly with her Flowery bedspread.
