Okay, so here's the fifth chapter!

Don't own HOA or Taylor Swifts song Mine.

Sibuna270: OMG! I know everything about her too! Except, Taylor Swift's brother is younger. Whatever, I just happy someone gets it!

But we got bills to pay,

We got nothing figured out,

When it was hard to take,

Yes, yes, this is what I thought about

Nina's POV

We arrived at Jerome's surprise party and Amber told us that Mick was on his way with Jerome.

We did the usual, yelled 'surprise!' Jerome was actually surprised, while Fabian wasn't at his party.

Fabian, Mick, Amber, and I were talking when Joy called, "Hey Fabes! Come watch this!"

It must have been a video of a sort because she had her phone.

"She hasn't called him Fabes since they dated." Mick commented.

"Fabian told me they never dated." I said.

"Never dated?" Amber laughed, "They were together for almost 6 months in high school. But she dumped him for an older guy. I felt bad for him, he was really depressed."

"Oh, that's lovely." I said.

I watched as Fabian laughed next to Joy, with his hand on her shoulder.

They looked… happy.

The elevator back up to our place was quiet. Fabian noticed.

"Someone's quiet." He commented.

"Did you and Joy ever date." I asked, to him out of nowhere.

"No." he answered.

"Oh really," I asked, "Are you sure?"

"Positive." He answered.

The elevator open and I stepped out as I said, "Liar."

"Nina!" he yelled.

"I told you everything Fabian!" I yelled as I unlocked the door to the apartment, "Everything about my past and my parents, but you don't even have the decency to tell you me that you dated Joy for six months in high school."

"But Nina." He said as we walked into the apartment.

"Don't but Nina me, Fabian." I shouted, "Not telling me is one thing, but lying to my face about it is another."

"I'm sorry." He said looking at the ground. He knew I was right.

"I'm going to bed." I told him. I slammed the door to my room and locked it.

The next morning I was up early and eating a bowl a cereal when Fabian walked in.

"You're up early." I said.

"I was supposed to drive you to the airport." He reminded me.

"It's okay, I'll call a cab." I said.

"Nina," he told me, "I'll drive you to the airport. Okay?"

"Fine," I said.

He drove me to the airport and helped me with my bags.

"Call me when you get there okay." He said.

"I will." I told him.

I hugged him, because I couldn't resist.

"I'll miss you, Fabian." I told him.

"I'll miss you more Nina."

"Merry Christmas." I said.

"Merry Christmas, I love you." He replied.

"I love you more."

"Not possible." He smiled.

I waved good bye, but turned around and ran back to him. I kissed him, gently but passionately.

"Bye." I said.

"Bye." He smiled.

Six hours or more later I was looking for my brother and Taylor. I had all my luggage and wanted to hug my big brother so bad!

I finally spotted him, finally. He looks almost identical to Cory Monteith, who plays Finn on Glee. He is even tall like him, except Austin had blue eyes.

Taylor was blonde looked like Taylor Swift, except Taylor White, my brothers girlfriend, had brown eyes and is about five foot four, where Taylor Swift is like, five foot eleven.

"Hey baby sister!" Austin said.

"Hey," I smiled.

"Nina!" Taylor said.

"Hey Taylor." I hugged her.

Austin decided to lift me off the ground when he hugged me, so he didn't have to bend over.

The car ride was spent talking about everything, school and stuff.

"So, how's the amazing boyfriend?" Austin asked.

"CRAP!" I shouted.

"What?" Taylor asked.

"I forgot to call him!" I said already dialing his number.

"Nina! Finally!" Fabian said. "I was getting worried."

"Sorry, Fabian." I apologized.

"Don't worry about it." He said.

"So, I'm with my brother and his girlfriend Taylor, I'm fine." I told him.

"Okay, Nina." He replied.

"Merry Christmas." I said.

"Merry Christmas Nina," he replied, "And just know that I'm sorry."

"I know you're sorry Fabian, but I not so sure if I forgive you." I told him, "I love you but, you didn't tell me something so small when I told you something so big."

"I get it Nina." He sighed, "I love you."

"I love you more." I said.

"Not possible." He replied. That was our thing, I guess. Whenever one of us said, I love you more, the other said, not possible.

"Uh oh." Austin said from the front seat, "What happened?"

"It sounds kinda complicated." Taylor added.

"It's just I told him about mom and dad, but he lied to me about previously dating this girl named Joy. And when I asked him about it he lied to my face." I told them, "It hurts, knowing that he was lying."

"Remind you of something Austin?" Taylor said.

"That was four years ago!" Austin replied.

I knew what they were talking about. Taylor found out that Austin went on a date with another girl, when they weren't exclusive yet. But, he lied to her and said she was the only girl he was dating.

"Yeah, Austin." I laughed, "But, when you do that, try to not date the other girls best friend!"

"Well, Nina." Taylor said, "I think that if you really love Fabian, and he really loves you, he really is sorry. Because, what happens in the past doesn't matter as much as what happens in the future."

I thought about that. It makes a lot of sense. I had officially forgiven him.

Well, I still wanted to go a little more in depth with Taylor. Taylor and Austin had dated ever since they started their junior year in college four years ago. Taylor had become a sister to me. She was super nice, unlike all the other girls my brother dated.

We got to the apartment and I went up to my room. I looked around, I had the same room since I was a freshman in high school, purple wall paper, a pink comforter, light pink sheets, with pink and purple throw pillows. I inhaled the scent of the room and smiled. I smiled because this didn't smell like home. Home, smelled like Fabian's cologne and my vanilla cupcake candle that always burned in our apartment.

I already missed the apartment. The brown rug that rested on the ground in the living room, the fluffy white couch above the rug, the white and purple comforter on my bed, the tall stools in the kitchen that allowed my feet to hang off the end, and Fabian, lying next to me in my bed watching TV.

Time to make a phone call, I used the house phone to he wouldn't know it was me.

"Hellooooooooo." Jerome said into the phone, "Who is dis?"

"What are you doing in my apartment?" I asked, "Please don't make a mess!"

"Okay, but just be happy the whole place didn't catch on fire that time!" he said.

"Not, the whole place, just my favorite fuzzy blanket!" I yelled.

"Oh shut up!" he said, "Oh here's Fabian. I presume you would like to speak to him."

"Yes, I would! Don't touch the new fuzzy blanket!" I yelled.

"What?" Fabian laughed.

"That was intend for Jerome, not you." I smiled.

"Hey, Jerome! She said you can't touch the new fuzzy blanket!" he yelled, "So what's up."

"I forgive you." I blurted.

"Oh. Thank you Nina." He said, I could tell he was smiling.

"But, I can't be home for New Year's." I lied.

"What? Why? We were going to have that party, I'll miss you too much." He said.

"All the flights were booked until the second, I'm sorry." I sighed.

"Don't apologize it's not like it's your fault." He said.

"Well, I got to go. I miss you." I told him.

"I miss you too."

"I love you." I said.

"I love you more." He laughed.

"Not possible." I reminded him.

"Bye." He said.

"No! Don't go!" I shouted.

"Why?" he asked.

"I like to hear you voice." I said.

"Alright, what do you want for Christmas?" he asked.

"Nothing! If you get me something I swear I'll-" I yelled, but he cut me off.

"Nina, you're getting something whether you like it or not." He said.

"Fine, what do you want?" I asked.

"Nina." He said.

"Fabian." I laughed, but noticed Taylor in the door, "I actually have to go, my Gran is looking for me."

"Alright. Bye." He said.

After we hung up, Taylor smiled.

"You agreed with what I said." She asked sitting next to me.

I nodded, "I took one look at this room and felt something."

"What's that?" she wondered.

"Home sickness." I said.

"I get it. I felt the same way when I went home for the holidays last year. It was only I drive to my parent's house, but I missed my apartment with Austin on the beach." She reminisced.

"I remember you telling me that." I said, "Do think I'm crazy? For falling in love with him so fast?"

"That's always how it is." She smiled.

"You know he takes me horseback riding every Saturday on his horse, Strum?" I told her.

"He has a horse? Where does he keep it?" she asked, "How did he get you on a horse?"

"Yes, he has a horse," I said, "He keeps it on a ranch about a half hour away from our apartment. And he was asking me for a while to ride but I was always too scared. But, one day he was feeling kind of down and I said that he could take me to make him feel better."

"Someone's turning out to be quiet a little rebel." She laughed.

I smiled.

"What are you ladies talking about?" Austin asked.

"Boys." Taylor said.

I blushed slightly and looked at my lap, pushing a bit of hair behind my ear.

"Well, glad to know I'm a topic," Austin laughed, "But, I need to pull Miss. Taylor away for a few minutes."

Taylor got up, and they walked out. I went the fire escape and stared out at the city. I saw Taylor and Austin at the park right under my window. Then, I saw Austin get down on one knee and pull out a box. Oh my god, he was proposing! She said yes! She jumped into his arms and kissed him.

I sat down and wondered if that would be me and Fabian one day.

"Nina, dear! Time for dinner!" my Gran shouted.

"Coming!" I yelled.

The next day, I walked through the streets with my hand shoved in my pocket when I saw something in a store window.

The most perfect watch for Fabian. I was gold, with silver in it too, the face was the perfect size. I went into the store and had it gift wrapped, but I still wanted to get him something else.

I had a plan but I needed assistance. I scrolled down my contact list and found who I was looking for.

"Hello, Mick?" I said.

"Hey Nina! How's New York?" he asked.

"Fine, but I need your help."

"Shoot." He told me.

"I have some money in my bedroom saved for Fabian's Christmas present, somehow I need you to get it." I told him, "Once you have it, here's what we're gonna do."

After a few days, it was December 31st and I was on a plane to Liverpool with three male betta fish in my lap. On blue, one red, and one yellow.

When I got off the plane I drove to the apartment, where Mick had hidden the Aquarium in my room. Thank you Mick!

When I got there, I saw Fabian the back of the apartment enjoying the party. I made sure no one saw me and put the fish in the beautiful aquarium.

Then, I made my way to Fabian and put a blindfold over his eyes and Mick said,

"Guess who."

"I'm just gonna go along with whatever prank this is." He laughed.

I pushed him into my room, although he probably thought I was Jerome. Or Alfie.

"Okay, where are we going?" he asked.

I couldn't answer, he'd know it was me.

"Okay, now no answer?" he laughed.

I put his back to the fish tank and removed the blindfold.

"Nina? Am I so drunk I'm seeing things?" he laughed.

"No," I laughed, "Wait your drunk?"

"I don't know. How drunk can you get off two beers?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed he tee shirt and pulled him to my lips.

We pulled apart and he yelled, "Nina Martin, I though you weren't coming until the second!"

"I wanted to surprise you." I said, "Oh and turn around."

He turned around to see the aquarium and a box wrapped in gold wrapping paper.

"Merry Christmas." I said.

"Nina, wow!" he yelled, "I love it!"

"Open the box." I smiled.

He unwrapped it to reveal the watch, which he loved.

The next morning we were driving to see strum and to 'pick up' my present.

"Wait here." Fabian said, "I'll be right back and keep your eyes closed!"

I kept my eyes closed and waited for his return, a minute later he lifted me up and sat me on Strum.

"Okay, open." He said.

But, it wasn't Strum at all. When I opened my eyes I was on a white horse.

"Fabian… you… I…" I stuttered. I jumped down and kissed him so passionately, that it took the cake for our best kiss.

"I'll take that as a thank you." He smiled.

I nodded and smiled wider.

"But," he said, "There's more."

He went to the saddle bag and pulled out a large box.

He opened it and revealed the most beautiful diamond necklace (A/N: on my profile) I had ever seen.

"Oh my god, Fabian." I said, "Thank you." I hugged his waist and buried my face into his chest. I felt tears well in my eyes.

I sniffled, "You really do love me."

"Yes, Nina I do what would make you think-"

I cut him off, "You didn't let me finish. You really do love me, as much as I love you."

"Yes, I do." He said wiping my tears of joy.

Okay, longest chapter of this story.
