The next day
Avalon's POV
I'm in a pet store with Matthew. He says he wants to find stuff for a puppy that he's hoping to get. I had a puppy once, and it was a lot of fun. A small dog would be cute.
After we find a few things for the puppy, Matt says I can go pick out a couple toys for the dog.
I walk down a few aisles until I reach the toy section.
I find a cool rope that we could use to play fetch with his puppy, a squeak toy, and a bone.
I smile. 'That puppy will love these,' I think to myself.
As I turn the corner to go back to Matthew, I bump into somebody. They drop one of their items, so without noticing what they look like I pick it up for them. "I am so sorry..." I say, handing the guy his belonging.
"It's fine, kid" he says, and smiles as I study his face.
Oh, shoot...
Nick.
I stare at him for a second, then fake-smile back. I hurry back to Matthew.
When I reach him, Matt looks at me and says, "Do you think the puppy will enjoy-" I cut him off by quickly saying, "We have to go... Now." I have kind of a worried look on my face.
Matthew looks confused. "What's wrong?"
I lie, "Uh, I don't feel good."
After a second, Matt nods and says, "Okay. Let me just buy those toys, then we will leave. By the way, he/she will love those." He points to the toys I picked out.
Just as we get to the cash registers, what do you know! Nick and his roommates are stepping into line.
After laughing about something with his roommates or whatever, he notices Matt and freezes.
Unlike I hoped, Matthew sees Nick as well.
I look back and forth between Nickalaws and Matthew, and they are both still in shock of each other being there.
Matt simply takes the toys from my hands and puts them on a nearby rack. I notice tears forming in his eyes.
He then takes my hand and we leave the store.
Sorry this was a little short. I'll try to work on this more often and get these chapters to you guys at least a little quicker. Hope you enjoyed!
