You guys I am so sorry I haven't updated in forever, graduation is tomorrow and I've been preparing for it. Marching band takes up so much time, and my sister's soccer games, and other stuff I have no idea how I'm doing it all. After tomorrow I will have a lot more time and I might manage to finish this next month and continue Escape I also wrote this chapter differently, just the beginning, I usually write this way and I kind of miss it, so sorry if it's weird. Anyway I hope you don't hate me for the last chapter and leaving you without a new chapter, so yeah. Thanks for reviewing! And I hope this chapter makes you feel somewhat better! Oh and Quinn and Jeff aren't dating, they're just going as friends!
Nick felt numb. His eyes remained shocked, looking forward, as he walked through the halls, long after the bell. He couldn't believe he had broken up with the love of his life. No one had ever made Nick feel as good as Jeff did. And now it was all over, nothing could be done. Maybe he was over exaggerating; sure he was a freshman, and still young. More fish in the sea, as people say. But something about Jeff was different, and Nick could never get that back.
Close your eyes and imagine the thing you love most, whether it's a family member, or pet, or a boyfriend or girlfriend. Now imagine that they did something awful, truly awful, and you know you can't trust them anymore. You have break up with them, or give them away, or live angry with them. It hurts, a lot, because the awful reality is, you still love them.
Nick took a deep breath and walked into a classroom, not seeing which one it was. He felt his throat tighten again, so he sat on a desk and set his head on his hands. He began to weep softly.
"Nicholas?"
Nick looked up slowly and turned his body to see Ms. Jon standing behind her desk, with a worried expression on her face. Nick grabbed his bag and sighed, "Sorry Ms. Jon, I'll leave now."
Ms. Jon got up and walked over to him, sitting on the desk beside him, "Nicholas, what's wrong?"
Nick wiped the tears from his eyes and took a shaky, deep breath. "Nothing, I'm fine."
"Tell me, I can help," she said reaching out to touch his arm.
Nick took a deep breath, and began to explain about Jeff, and the breakup. Ms. Jon nodded, concentrating thought out the whole story. She wasn't homophobic, and didn't care about the rivalry, which helped Nick immensely.
When Nick was finished, they sat in silence, Nick staring back at his female teacher expectantly.
Ms. Jon nodded, "Nicholas, it sounds like you really loved him," she paused, "But what he did was an awful thing, even if he didn't mean it, he should have defended you." She paused again, wringing her wrists. "I think you should just wait, and if you two are truly meant to be together, and Nicholas you are meant to be together, you lasted quite some time and just by hearing about it I can imagine how in love the two of you were, it will happen."
Nick looked at her, and gave her a half smile, "You really think so?"
Ms. Jon reached forward and brushed a lock of brown hair from his face, "I know so."
Nick's heart was mended, it still throbbed with ache, but he felt a bit more satisfied. He looked at Ms. Jon with such warmth he almost couldn't take it; he leaned forward and hugged her. She was taken aback but she smiled and hugged him tighter.
"Thank you."
"Get it Jeff!"
Jeff shook his head and looked up into the sky. A dark object flew over his head. He snapped into reality and began to run after it, he jumped up and caught it at last minute. Suddenly the whistle blew and Coach Beiste, slammed her clipboard into Puck's chest, and stomped up the field towards Jeff.
"Sterling!"
Jeff gulped harshly and watched as angrily poked him in the chest. He wasn't usually scared of Coach Beiste, she was usually fond of him, but today he was terrified. She had yelled at him about 3 times already to stop daydreaming, and he had almost broken out crying, but was saved by Azimio.
"What are you here for Sterling?" She yelled loudly.
"F-football practice," he whispered.
"What?"
"Football practice!"
Coach looked him over, "Then stop sleeping on the job! This isn't a little girl team!"
She continued, but Jeff zoned out, he couldn't stop thinking about Nick. He had to get him back, somehow, even if he had to fight for his heart.
"You hear me, Sterling?" Coach Beiste was looking at him angrily in the eyes.
"Yes, Coach."
^#^
After practice Jeff slowly changed into his street clothes, staring at his phone. He needed a sign from Nick, anything.
"Dude, what's up?" Jeff span around to see Puck straddling the bench, while looking up at him.
"Nothing just worried about Prom tomorrow," Jeff sighed and shut his locker.
"No you're not, you've got the hottest girl in the whole school going with you, what's really wrong?" Puck said crossing his arms. Yesterday, Quinn had broken up with Finn; he was apparently ogling Rachel Berry from Glee Club, and had been caught several times before. Quinn couldn't take it anymore and just broke up with him.
Jeff started towards the door, he didn't like lying, but now it was needed. "I just, I- don't know how to treat a woman, I messed up in my last relationship."
Puck nodded, "Why is it bothering you so much? Is it Kyle?"
Jeff kicked the locker and set his head against the old, blue, metal. "Everyone leaves me! Kyle and now N-, never mind it's stupid." He grabbed his bag and left the locker room.
When Jeff was in 8th grade he had his first boyfriend, named Kyle. He was everyone's dream boyfriend, tall, fair haired, deep green eyes. Perfect in every way possible. Kyle had come up to him in P. E class and asked him out. Jeff accepted quickly, because of the crush he had on him. Kyle took him on dates through the park and they walked Downtown.
Then over summer he noticed Kyle was sneaking around and leaving their dates early. One day Jeff decided to follow him out from one of their dates, only to find him and a girl in his grade named Pansy at a movie theater. At first Jeff wouldn't believe what he was seeing; maybe she was a cousin or sister. But then he saw them kiss, and that's when Jeff confronted him and broke it off.
After that Jeff refused to fall in love again, that is until Nick. And he doesn't regret it, he regrets messing up.
Jeff watched as Quinn walked down the staircase. Her hair was up in a neat bun with blue pins and she was wearing a shiny blue floor length dress, with low back. She looked absolutely stunning. She was smiling widely at him, her high cheekbones flushed.
"Hello, Jeff."
Jeff regained his breath and let out a small chuckle, "Quinn, you look beautiful!"
She blushed and smiled, "You look handsome," she whispered.
Jeff took out the corsage and put it around her wrist, "Jeff it's beautiful." She said looking down at it, mesmerized.
Quinn's mother walked into the room and gasped, "Quinny you look beautiful! And Jeff, oh, let me get my camera!"
She ran out of the room to retrieve her camera, when she returned she posed them in front of the staircase. Jeff wrapped an arm around Quinn and leaned into her, smiling.
After a few pictures, and goodbyes he headed off towards the school. At the front of the school, girls in pretty dresses, and boys in neat suits stood talking happily. In the school's gym the theme A Year in Space, decorated everything. The "moon" stood brilliantly in the middle of the gym, fake stars stood out in the dark room. It was perfect.
Santana and Brittany walked up to them, Santana holding her close. Santana was wearing a bright red dress, with one strap that was covered in gems, the back dropped to the top over her waist, and her hair was straightened and fell past her shoulders. She looked, well sexy. Brittany smiled happily at Jeff, her wide innocent eyes staring at him. She was wearing an above knee, strapless, dress, that was bright yellow, and at her waist the same material that the strap Santana wore was tied tightly around her body.
"Hello, Surf-boy!" Brittany said leaning her head against Santana.
"Hello, Brittany, Santana! You both look beautiful!" Said Jeff squeezing Quinn's hip, as his arm lay across her waist.
"Quinn, you look pretty," said Brittany smiling, while Santana nodded.
Quinn smiled and looked up at Jeff, "Tonight's going to be perfect."
Jeff nodded and walked with them to the dance floor; it ended up being a perfect night for the girls. But for Jeff, he was filled with loss and ache. He needed Nick.
