Nick reached the top of the stairs atlast and headed to Mae's room. He reached her bedroom door and knocked on it.

"Hey Mae. I'm coming in" Nick said, opening the door to find Mae sitting on her bed crying and holding the object she found earlier.

"Go away!" She snapped, her crying made what she said slow and vague.

"No! Look Mae i'm here to appologise for yelling at you and insulting you. It was none of my businessand i am s-sorry" Nick mumbled, scratching the back of his head with nerves.

"Your an idiot! Why do intend to hurt me? This is dear to me and when i found it i felt...i felt...happy and lucky" Mae slowly replied, tears still dropping off of her face and onto her bed sheets.

Nick sighed loudly and sat on the edge of her bed.

"Look. I don't intend to hurt you it's just sometimes i talk but accidently hurt you. I understand now that it is dear to you but we didn't know! Next time say something about it like 'i can't tell you because it's precious to me' or 'it's a secret, sorry' That way we'd understand more and wouldn't have caused this" Nick said, laying back on her bed.

"Well sorry, Nick. I didn't think about that, considering i was to busy looking for something. I mean, i thought i still had it and when i found it i was so overhoyed that i couldn't care about anyone or anything" Mae replied, looking down at him. Her tears slowly dropping onto his shirt.

"What do you mean you thought you still had it?" nick asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, when me and Jamie moved into your house i brought this with me. But then i lost it, so i wasn't sure if i'd find it again. Then after all this time i decided to look for it after a sudden burst of courage. Then when i did find it i was over the moon! i couldn't believe i found it after all this time!" Mae replied, smiling a little as she looked down at the object she found.

"I see" Nick said, nodding his head slightly.

"I'll show you what it is now, and also tell you a bit about it. I am sorry i acted rudely about it" Mae said with a smile.

She opened her hands and showed him what it is she had found. Sitting on her hands was a picture of her and Jamie with their parents on their holiday to Spain not long before they left. Their parents was stood at the back, Jamie was standing infront of their dad and Mae was stood infront of their mom. they were all smiling and looked like they was having fun.

Nick's mouth slowly opened with shock.

"Are they your parents?" Nick asked, looking deeply at the picture.

"Yes. This was took on our holiday to Spain not long before they left us. I loved the holiday, we all had fun and everyone was happy" Mae replied, the smile on her face slowly vanishing.

"Im sorry Mae. If i had known i would have never had asked" nick said, the tone of his voice seemed sad.

"It's okay, Nick. Now that i have talked about it i kinda feel a lot better!" Mae smiled, placing the photo on her bedside table.

"Come here. give me a hug" Nick suprising said, holding his arms out.

The fact that Nick was being nice was either because he felt bad or he liked Mae, or even a bit of both.

Mae sniffed and then broke down into tears, before launching herself at Nick and tightly hugging him. Nick was shocked at first but smiled and wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm Sorry, Nick! I don't mean to cry again, i'm just happy" Mae cried, wiping her tears with her hand.

Mae and Nick gazed at eachother before slowly moving closer til their lips met. But the kiss didn't last long when Mae pulled away andloudly said "No"

"What's wrong Mae?" Nick asked, with a suprised exression on his face.

"This isn't right. Us kissing just because of the moment. You already made it clear days ago that you wasn't interested in me. This is no different" Mae explained, grabbing her photo and putting it in her bra, before running out of the room.

Nick sighed and lowered his head.

"She's right, isn't she? But if so, why do i have a weird feeling when i'm near her? Surely i don't like her, right?" Nick thought, and laid back on her bed and dozed off to sleep.
