Nina looked to her left and right, looking for anyone who needed a drink. Besides her of course.

The party she was serving tonight was being thrown by some rich person, obviously. Maybe a surgeon or a lawyer or something along those lines. Aren't they lucky?

Nina was a florist. And, by night, a server for a catering company. Nina became a florist because she'd always liked flowers. Well, her mother always did. Her parents died when she was young, so after careful consideration, she moved in with her aunt and uncle. Plus her cousin Eddie. After a while, Nina and Eddie moved to England. It was a seriously random choice. Kind of last minute too. See, Eddie's parents were British. They moved to America because Eddie's dad, Eric, got a teaching job there. Then they all moved back over when Eddie and Nina were eighteen.

"Nina," one of the other servers said tapping her shoulder, "You can take a break." She grabbed Nina's tray and Nina walked to the back, where she sat down and grabbed her cell phone. There was a text message from Eddie waiting for her.

There's a party at Mick's tomorrow. Patricia's going, so is Amber (obviously). You should come, you tool.

Nina rolled her eyes at the simple idiocy of Eddie. That was his banter. Calling Nina names, but she knew he meant well.

I'm at work.

So?

So, stop texting me!

Are you coming to the freakin' party or not?

I'll go if you stop annoying me!

Nina closed her phone and grabbed another tray of appetizers.

And that my readers, is where my life went to shit. Had I not agreed to go to that party, I wouldn't have met Fabian. I wouldn't have gotten my heart broken by that stupid schmuck. I hate him like I've never hated someone before.

Now that I think about it… it's all Eddie's fault I had my heart broken!

I mean, once you know the whole story you'll totally agree with me. I mean, he's an ass. God, maybe if I want to be a good blogger I should stop starting every sentence with 'I mean.' Oy, I need therapy. Well… I think I do. Amber said that this is as good as therapy, plus it's cheaper. Except, I'm venting to someone who's not responding back to me…

So anyway, deciding to go to the damn party was my mistake. I should not have said yes. Ever. Not in my life. If I could go back in time I would-

The funny thing is I can't finish that sentence. As much as I hate him, I still can't stop loving him. I have never truly fallen in love before. He's the only guy I've ever really fallen for. Sure I've had boyfriends and stuff but they've never made me feel the way he did. That… feeling! I can feel the damn love rushing through my body when I see-

Stop Nina! He's an ass! He broke your heart and left you to pick up the pieces.

But then again… he didn't.

Well, you won't understand what I'm talking about until I tell you the whole story, so why don't I get back to it.

Nina walked into Mick's apartment, in a simple pair of jeans with a tank top and cardigan. Nina knew that Mick wasn't all that fancy, so she never went to his parties in dresses or whatever. Amber, Mick's cousin and Nina's best friend, was always in a dress though. She couldn't help it. It was her nature.

Nina met Mick through Eddie. It was a funny story when they met actually. Nina had already known Amber and Eddie wanted to have lunch one day. He said he was bringing a friend (Eddie was trying to set her and Mick up actually, ha. Like that'll ever happen) so Nina brought Amber. When the four got there, Mick and Amber revealed that they were cousins. Funny, because Eddie and Nina are cousins too. Life…

Anyway, Nina and Mick became really close friends. They had a brother/sister relationship, much like Amber and Eddie. They were all very tight. Eddie and Amber were the only two in a relationship. Amber had met Alfie three months ago at a bar (ha) and have been going strong since (which is rare, considering it was originally a one-night-stand). Eddie met Patricia at the park (how random). Patricia had been running with her Rottweiler ,Rex, and Eddie was on his iPod. The story is pretty funny actually…

"Slow down Rex!" Patricia yelled at her dog, who only sped up.

"Watch out!"

Patricia heard the words before slamming into someone and falling to the ground as Rex (NOW) decided to stop and sit next to her.

"Control your dog!" the guy said, rubbing his head.

"Why didn't you stop, weasel?" Patricia sneered.

"Because I was running! I was changing the song on my iPod and when I looked up your dog started charging at me!" Eddie protested.

"It's not my fault you were running while staring at your iPod! That's dumb!"

"Calm down Yacker."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me." Eddie said, "It was an honest mistake."

"If it was so honest the least you can do is apologize," Patricia scowled.

"You're right. I'm sorry."

"Me too."

The pair stood in silence, just staring at each other for a while, until Eddie asked, "Can I get your number?"

"Uh huh."

Nina rolled her eyes, remembering the story Eddie had told her that day. It was pretty funny when Eddie came to her asking if a day and a half was too early to call. Nina had explained to him that guys stupid rules about when to call a girl only pissed her off and he should really just call her ASAP. If she sees he's interested right away, it'll make her happy. And look where they are now, engaged.

"Nina!" Mick said running over to her and squishing her to death. "Oh look at you, you look so cute!"

"Mick Campbell have you been drinking?" Nina asked with a giggle.


August 14th, 2012

Okay, yesterday I know I stopped a bit abruptly with my story. I'm sorry. But just to let you know, you will not be meeting the famous Fabian about yet.

Yesterday, I learned that Mick had something to do with Fabian's idiot plan to break my heart. So thank you Mick. You have joined Fabian at the top of my shit list.

And really, why me? Can either one of you answer that question? Actually don't, really both your voices sound like nails on a chalk board to me right now.

Oh by the way Fabian, if you could do me a favor and stop calling my apartment and leaving voicemails trying to explain! I just delete them before I start listening anyway.


August 14th, 2012

Hi, you missed me but you can leave a message!

Nina sighed, hearing her answering machine go off again. It's only been 20 minutes since she updated her blog and 19 hours since her break up with Fabian. Can't people just leave her alone for once?

Nina? It's me. I hope you know that I had no idea what Fabian was doing. Nina, please I know your home pick up. Please. Fabian and I… we haven't… it was long over Nina. I am so sorry about what happened. I've been reading your blog though and I-

The message cut off. She ran out of time. Nina contemplated calling her back. She was the only one who hasn't been like Oh! I'm so sorry! That's terrible! And her voice wasn't filled with pity. It was more like, consideration. Like, she was sorry about what happened, but she was more worried about Nina's feelings than pitying her. The phone started ringing again, but Nina didn't feel like getting up to answer it.

Hi, you missed me but you can leave a message!

Sorry Nina I was cut off. I think you're writing's great again Nina. You haven't written like that since high school. It's really, really great that you're using that to get your feelings out. I know you Nina. I know that everyone is giving you pity and I know you hate that-

Nina picked up the phone before she could get cut off again.

"Joy?"

"Nina." Joy gave a small laugh, "I knew you were listening!"

"Joy." Nina sighed, "Thank you. You're the only one who hasn't pitied me. You know how I feel about all that crap. It's not like they care, they only feel bad for me. But, you? You're different. You actually care about my feelings and you know that you have to give me a bit of time before calling and you are one of my best friends and I love you more than anyone."

"Nina," Joy said, "I love you too. You don't know how hard it was for me not to call right away! I mean, Nina you're my best friend! You know how much I care about you."

Nina and Joy had become friends after a rough start. Joy was the cheerleader in high school and Nina was a book nerd. Nina knew that Joy had good in her though. Whenever the cheerleaders teased Nina, Joy was one the one to tell them to knock it off. After being paired together for a project, the girls became inseparable. They bonded over similar likes and dislikes. Nina became a regular at all sporting events to see Joy and Joy was an active reader of Nina's stories and articles that she wrote for the school newspaper. They both went to University College in London and stayed in London in the same apartment building. Amber was also a very good best friend to both of them, even if she was a bit ditzy sometimes.

"You want to come by?" Nina asked, "Amber's been by a lot, but we need to have one of our ice cream fests."

"I'm already in the elevator Nina." Joy giggled.


When Joy arrived, the girls had been pigging out on all the ice cream in Nina's apartment. Then it happened.

Hi you missed me but you can leave a message!

Both girls silenced themselves as the message started.

Nina. I-It's Fabian. Please don't delete this. I've been reading your blog…

Nina got up to go delete it, but Joy stopped her and picked up the phone instead.

"Nina's phone." Joy answered, "Fabian she doesn't want to speak to you right now… you've got to give her time!... You really have a lot of nerve to call here after everything that happened… Fabian Rutter you really should just stop for a while… she'll talk to you when she's ready… no problem slimeball… goodbye."

Joy looked at Nina with sad eyes. "He wanted to talk to you, but I knew you needed some time."

"Thanks Joy."

"Anytime Neens."


Anybody have an idea about what he did yet? If you do leave it in a review! And, here's your preview for next time!

"Can't you just… get her to pick up the damn phone?"

"I can't she hates me as much as she hates you right now."

"What about you dude?"

"Are you guys serious? I'm risking my life just talking to you two."

Who said that, and which line did they say? Stay tuned guys!
