27 Remember December
"Is, I was once his boyfriend." Nick said afraid of what'd happen next.
"W-w-w-what!" Joe stuttered, he didn't expect to hear that, he was thinking he'll get an: I like her or even something crazy like she's a robot or something, but never she's his ex.
"What! Why!" Joe screamed.
"It's true, I date her for 2 months." Nick said ashamed.
"How?" Joe couldn't say more than one word.
"If you mean how you didn't know? Then I'd have to tell you I kept it secret." Nick said.
"I can imagine that, but Why?" Joe didn't understand.
"Because I didn't want you to know." Nick explained; but Joe kept staring at him like if he was about to kill him, so Nick continued. "Because it was so painful." Nick's shame face quickly turned into a frown.
"Painful? Painful is that your brother says to you he once dated your girlfriend and he's been hiding it since the beginning! That IS painful!" Joe screamed at him.
"Bro, I'm…" Nick tried to fix things up but Joe stopped him saying.
"Don't talk to me ok!? I don't want you to talk to me ever again, I'm done!" Joe said slamming the door again; Joe went out Nick's cottage, and everyone tried to talk with him but they only made him yell at them, he kept walking till he got to his cabin.
Nick laid on the floor, remembering all, how he met her, how they become a couple, how they spent two beautiful months together, but most of all how they end up.
*Flashback:*
"I can't believe you did that to me." Nick said at her sitting on the bed.
"I didn't do anything, I promise!" She begged him to believe her.
"But it's not the first time we get caught up in this situation." He said painfully.
"I know, but we could work it out."
"I'm afraid not, this isn't right; I thought you were different from the other girls, you were supposed to be there by my side, but you left when I needed you the most." He said with red eyes.
"But I…"
"I know, you want me, you've said that like a thousand times but I just don't believe it, since I told you I loved you, you've been acting weird, and you know that I meant it." He said at the edge of crying.
"What did you want me to do? If you're treating me like a child." She asked.
"I just want to know if it is me you'll live without? Or would you change your mind?"
"I guess this time we'd be better if we just let each other go."
"So, this is it?" Nick asked as one tear was falling through his cheek.
"I guess so."
*End Flashback*
Nick stayed laid in the floor crying for two hours.
Joe got into her cottage, and Dianna looked kinda confused
"Why didn't you tell me you were Nick's girlfriend?" Joe yelled at her.
"What!" She seemed impressed.
"You heard me. Why didn't you tell me?" Joe asked again.
"Because ok I'll tell you, he was so important to me, and he well he cheated on me." Dianna lied.
"What? now you lie to me? You're incredible." Joe was tired of secrets and lies.
"I'm telling the truth, he cheated on me and even though he broke up with me because he didn't want me anymore." Dianna said crying acting, of course.
"Are you sure you're telling the truth?" Joe said almost buying it.
"It's true, I know I was wrong hiding it to you, but I just didn't want you to hate your brother because of me." She said.
"Well if he really did that to you how am I not gonna hate him?" Joe said finally buying it for half the price.
Dianna had convinced him about Nick was mean, something that not even Nick could do against her.
"And what are you gonna do now with your brother?" Dianna asked all innocent as Joe was holding her.
"Don't worry honey, he's not my brother anymore."
