Chapter 3
(Adams POV not in this chapter x)
"Thanks Nick" I smiled. "No problem, he placed my bag down on the large bed. It felt good to be back. "Erm…I really need a bath" I told him blushing slightly. "Oh…Ill go then" He started towards the door. "Actually" I started but was scared to ask. He turned around and the blood rushed to my cheeks. "I kind of need some help, I still can't move my foot very well" He looked slightly shocked that I was asking him to help me into the bath. And obviously you didn't wear clothes in a bath. "Do you want me to get Laurel or Melanie?" He asked hurriedly. "Nick" I said slowly. He sighed slightly but nodded. "Thank you" He looked up and smiled. I loved it when he smiled, partly because he didn't smile that often. But mostly because that smile could melt any girls' heart, especially mine. I'll go run some water. He hurried off to the bathroom and shut the door. I walked to the cupboard and grabbed a fluffy white towel. I went back over to the bed and sat down. I pulled my top off and threw it across the room, then undid my bra and threw that too. I wrapped the towel quickly around myself. I tried to kick my jeans off but yelped when I tried to kick with my bad leg. "Are you okay?" Nick burst into the room, and I could hear the water running behind him. "I can't get my jeans off" I mumbled, very embarrassed. He knelt down in front of me and gently tugged the trouser leg over my ankle. "Thank you Nick" I couldn't believe how kind he was being. "Nick why are you being so nice to me?" I asked wanting to know. "I like you Cassie" He smiled up at me, I blushed and looked away. He laughed quietly under his breath. "Sorry" I starred at my bare feet, 1 was swollen from where I had just about broken it. I looked up again to be staring straight at Nick. His eyes were deep mahogany brown and his hair shone from where the early sunset snuck through the gap between the curtains. My breathing quickened but I held his gaze. He leaned forward slightly and I waited for our lips to meet once again. But then he got up and walked to the bathroom. I let out a long sigh, my temperature returning to normal. I pulled off my under wear and hid them under the quilt. "Don't want Nick seeing those now do we?" I whispered to myself. "Cassie" He shouted from the bathroom. I got up and walked slowly to the door. I turned the handle and pushed it open. "Thank you so much Nick" I looked longingly at the pristine white tub full of hot soothing water. Steam rose from tub as I walked slowly over to it. "Shall I go now?" Nick asked. I glanced at the side of the bath tub. There was no way I was going to be able to get over that on one leg. "Nick…I know this is probably asking too much but…" I couldn't ask him to do this. It's times like this that I wish our house hadn't burnt down, and that I still lived with my mum. "You can't get in can you?" He asked. I shook my head looking down at the floor. He sighed and I looked up. "Cassie…" The way he looked at me then, I swear it melted my heart to a useless puddle. My breathing quickened as he stepped closer. He put his hands on either side of my face. We were so close a few inches and our lips would be touching. "I love you Cassie" He whispered. Something inside me died at that moment. I collapsed to the floor. Tears were pouring down my face, but I wasn't sad. Something had left my heart, and it was never coming back. "Cassie?" Nick crouched besides me. "Cassie? What's wrong?" He asked desperately. I couldn't stop the tears flowing, and as I tried to speak all that came out were piercing screams of a person being tortured. I couldn't breath right. Couldn't get enough air. What was happening to me?"
