Payson POV
I walked out of the locker room turning my back to Kaylie. I stood in front of the bars and placed my hands on them, memorizing the feel of them. I stood there looking down at the bars and held my breath. I didn't realizing I was crying until I noticed a tear fall onto the bars. I looked up at the ceiling and blinked my eyes to keep them from falling from their prison. I began to think of all the possibilities of telling Nicky.
Option 1: He never wants to be friends with me.
"Nicky, Kaylie is cheating on you with Carter." I whispered looking away from his sorrow stricken face.
"How long?" He whispered.
"A few months."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Nicky yelled looking at me.
"I didn't know." I whispered tears pouring down my eyes.
"I thought I could trust you."
"You can…"
"Apparently I can't." Nicky said walking away.
"Nicky!" I screamed after him with tears streaming down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry Payson, but I can't do this." Nicky whispered.
"Nicky!"
"I wish you would have told me sooner. Goodbye Keeler."
Nicky then moves to Denver and then I would never see him again.
I flinched at the vision and thought about option two.
Option Two" He falls in love with me.
"Nicky, Kaylie is cheating on you with Carter."
"I know."
"You know?" I asked raising my eyebrow.
"I saw her and Carter yesterday when I came back to get my things." Nicky smiled walking closer to me.
"I'm so sorry, I should have told you sooner." I prattled on feeling a warm blush fill my face.
"It's not you fault." Nicky smiled grabbing my hand.
"Why are you so okay with this?" I asked looking deep into those orbs of brown.
"Because Payson, I'm in love with you."
Nicky and I would then fall in love and later get married.
The second option made a smile form on my face but sadly I think that option one will most likely happen over option two.
"Payson?" I turned around to see Emily standing there with her hands on her hips. "I've been calling your name for five minutes. Are you okay?"
"Yea, fine. I was just thinking."
"About Nicky?"
"In a way yes." I said walking over to place chalk on my hands.
"In a way?" Emily asked with a questioning gleam in her eyes.
"Never mind, so what's up?"
"Besides from the fact that Kaylie likes two different guys and she knows that you like Nicky, not that much." Emily smirked.
"National committee is picking a team to go to London tomorrow." I said changing the subject.
"Yea and they'll take you and Kaylie."
"You will go. Your Emily." I smiled.
"Hopefully." Emily smiled.
"You'll go and we will have so much fun in London." I laughed.
"What's so funny?" Nicky asked walking over.
"Nothing."
"I'm gonna go talk to Lauren." Emily winked. I gave Emily a death stare as she walked away laughing.
"So what's up?" I asked chalking up my hands.
"Nothing."
"Oh?"
"I think I'm going to break up with Kaylie." Nicky said looking over towards Kaylie on the beams.
"Why?"
"I think I like someone else." Nicky smirked looking at me.
"Oh." I said with disappointment clear in my voice.
"I think she still likes Carter anyway."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"Well I'm gonna leave you now."
"See you Keeler." Nicky laughed walking away.
I smiled and began my routine. Tomorrow is a big day for me. I will either go to London or stay here and become second best again.
