Author's Note: Please let me know what you think of the story and any ideas you have for the story, thanks.
We both woke up in the morning and got a shower and got dressed (Mandi's outfit: cgi/set?id=97112864) we went downstairs and Tiffany made us cheese omelets. "So lets have a shopping day today." Tiffany said. "Yay! I`m totally up for that." I said. "Okay we'll just leave a note for your brothers and then head to the mall." Tiffany says. She starts writing a note when Jeff walks in the kitchen "Good morning." He yawns. "Good morning so me and Mandi are going to the mall for a shopping day remember to tell Matt or he'll freak out if he doesn't know where we are." Tiffany says. "Okay." Jeff says. "Oh and before you leave Mandi I want to go over the rules for you and Nick." Jeff says. "The rules are pretty much you guys have to be in a group at all times when you guys go out, no sex, no touching, and no kissing." Jeff says. I look at Tiffany and we both exchange a look that means we both know I am just going to nod my head but I won't follow the no kissing rule. "Okay Jeff I understand the rules. We are not even that serious." I said. "Whatever but the rules are the rules no breaking them and no exceptions." Jeff said. "Okay Jeff I understand we are going to go shopping now bye." I said. "Bye." Jeff said to us and we left.
At the mall we bought a whole bunch of stuff and we had chicken salads at the mall for lunch. When we were driving home I noticed something, two people holding hands and then they kissed for along time. I didn't recognize the girl but I did recognize the guy I was just staring at them while we were at a red light, "What's wrong?" Tiffany asked. I pointed to the couple and said "That's Nick." Realization took over Tiffany's face and she honked the horn at them they turned around and Nick saw me. "Mandi?" He said shocked I was here. "I thought we were a couple what are you doing?" I asked. "We are, I just, I don't know please Mandi forgive me." He said. "Wait I'm Nick's girlfriend we met over the summer in Tennessee I'm visiting him." The girl said. "How long have you guys been dating?" I asked her "2 months, and you guys?" She said. "We went out last night and he kissed me I didn't know he had a girlfriend he failed to mention that." I said. "Yeah it turns out he forgot to mention he was going out on a date." She said. "We are through!" She said to Nick and walked away. "Yeah us also I don't ever want to go out with you again, you are no longer my boyfriend." I said.
Tiffany and I drove back home I was trying not to cry but some tears were still coming out the whole way home, when we got home Tiffany tried to calm me down. "It's okay. I'm here whatever you need tell me and I'll do it." She said. "Matt" I said. "I just want Matt he always makes me feel better. Do you think I am an idiot, did I take things to fast? Do you think Matt will even be there for me or just say I told you so?" I ask Tiffany. Tiffany says "Your not an idiot, he is you just got caught up in your first boyfriend it happens to everyone." She says. "And of course Matt will be there for you, he might say I told you so and never let you go out on a date ever again but his first priority is always to make sure you are okay. Now lets go inside." Tiffany says. She puts her arm around me and we go inside. "Hey you don't need to be worried he won't be mad at you, just at Nick." Tiffany says to me. I nod my head. "Matt? Honey you here?" Tiffany calls for Matt. "Yeah." Matt says. "Come down here and quickly please." She says. Matt comes down the stairs. "Ya? What's going on?" Matt asks. I run to him and bury my head in his chest. He immediately wraps his arms around me and I started crying again. "It's okay Mandi. Whats wrong?" Matt asks. "I. We. Saw. Nick. He has a girlfriend." I said then put my head back in Matt's chest. "A girlfriend?" Matt asks. "Yeah we saw him kissing a girl on the side walk it turns out they have been dating for 2 months he cheated on both of them." Tiffany said. I felt Matt's body tense up.
"She wanted you, she said your the one thing that could make her feel better." Tiffany said. "Don't tell him that." I said lifting my head out of Matt's chest to talk to Tiffany. Tiffany and Matt laughed. Matt pulled me back into a hug and we were like that for a while. "You want to do something now?" Matt asked. "I don't want to go out." I said. "We can watch a movie here." Matt said. "And get some ice cream?" Tiffany said. "Yes! Ice cream I want fudge brownie!" I said. Matt and Tiffany laughed "I knew ice cream would help." Tiffany said. "Okay I'll get ice cream, and pick us up some movies." Matt said. "Okay." Tiffany said. "Why don't you go with him, Tiffany." I said. "Cause you can't be left alone at a time like this." Tiffany said. "Ya you need someone here with you, I'll have Jeff go with me. Jeff!" Matt says. Jeff came down the stairs "Ya?" Jeff said. "Your coming with me to get ice cream and movies." Matt said. "Alright lets go." Jeff said then Matt and him left. "Thanks for being here for me Tiffany." I said. "Of course I would be here for you." Tiffany said. "Can you paint my nails until they get back?" I ask. "Of course." We both went up to my room, where I have a ton of nail polish.
