I sat on a table outside the arena bar as Nick brought our drinks over. He sat sown across from me and took a sip of his beer.
"What's up with you? And don't say nothing cause' I've seen that look too many times."
I sighed and mixed the drink with my straw. "When did everything change Nick?"
"You mean Zack and Eve right? That's been going for a little while now, you get use to it."
"Yeah, that doesn't look like it's going to happen. I want him to be happy; just not with her." I put my head down on the table with my hands behind my head.
"Well maybe now your here he will see that he was wrong choosing Eve after all; she's no competition to you babe." He laughed, making me smile. Nick was the only person who knew how I felt about Zack and he knew I wouldn't take it well.
I was getting late; Nick needed to get ready for the show.
He stood up and gave me a hug. "Do you need a lift back to the hotel later?"
"Zack said he would; but thanks." I smiled
"Well if you need anything; just give me a call" he smirked and waved goodbye. It was so great to have my friends around again; they didn't care what I looked like or if I had problems they would always listen; it's a lot easier in person then over the phone.
After the show I went to meet Zack in his locker room; I was on my way there when I got a message on my phone.
10:07pm Zack
Hey bro, I'm sorry but Eve was really sick and we had to leave early and I can't give you a lift sorry bro x
I sighed; "Of course Zack, of course." I didn't bother to reply, I just dialled Nick's number and waited for him to answer.
"Hello?"
"Nick? Please tell me you're still here." I hoped.
"Yeah I was just about to leave; what's wrong?"
"I need a lift, you still offering?"
"Sure, I'm in the carpark now."
"Thanks!" I hung up and ran through the corridors to the carpark where Nick was sitting in his car on his phone.
I opened the car door and threw my bag in the backseat. He looked over to me; I could tell he was going to ask what happened with Zack.
"Just don't ask." I sighed.
Nick put his hand on my shoulder. "He's just being stupid he will come around, I know it."
"Yeah well I can only hope, I know he's a bit thick but how hard is it to see that I like him?" I was so frustrated.
"Just try and get him alone tomorrow and tell him how you feel, he will realise how wrong he's been and he will choose you; like I said there's no competition."
"I hope your right Nick, I do." I looked out the window and we were pulling up to the hotel, Nick took my bag out of the car and walked up to my room with me.
"You going to be okay?" He handed me my bag.
I nodded and put my bag down. "Thanks" I hugged him.
"Anytime kid." He laughed and hugged me back. "Now go get some sleep." He ordered. I went into my room and threw my bag onto the bed. I thought this was going to be the greatest day of my life; but it was the worse, at least it couldn't get any worse. I lay on my bed next to my bag as my phone vibrated.
10:35pm Zack
I'm sorry about tonight; I'll make it up to you. I have something I really need to tell you, I think you will be happy, meet me downstairs for breakfast tomorrow :) sleep well beautiful. x
I couldn't help but smile, he did realise that he wanted to be with me over her, I knew it wouldn't take him long, he was just being blind. I forwarded the message to Nick.
10:40pm Nick
Good luck kid, I told you he would come around. x
I couldn't contain my excitement I tried to get to sleep but I couldn't I just decided to lay in bed and think about what I would say to him; I couldn't believe this was happening. It could only go up from here on out.
I woke up the next day after a few hours of sleep that my body forced me to have and got dressed. I checked myself over in the mirror a million times; I wanted to be perfect for him even though he thought I was perfect anyway. I was about to do what I had wanted for years and he finally realised that I was the right girl for him. Everything was falling into place just how I wanted.
I kept it causal, like I wasn't expecting anything from him; I was just wearing my hoodie with a tight tank underneath, skinny jeans and short boots. I threw my hair up into a high ponytail and put a thick wrap around headband on; I looked at myself one last time in the mirror and smiled. Perfect.
I made my way downstairs, I felt like I wanted to run down them but I knew that wouldn't be the safest idea in the world with the nerves I had doing through my body. I got to the level the Restaurant was on and poked my head around the through the doors; I saw him sitting by himself; he looked nervous, but extremely cute as usual. I began walking over to him.
