New Message To: Fabian Rutter
Date: 12/3/12 Time: 9:56 A.M.
Fabian? Why is Mick telling me to break up with you?
It didn't take a minute before Fabian was calling Nina. Nina picked up the phone with a shaky, "Hello?"
"Nina." Fabian said, "Don't listen to Mick please. I texted him and he said he's trying to prank me, please. Don't listen to him."
"Fabian I know that isn't true he's been pestering me about this since we got together." Nina said, "Slowly, is there something you're not telling me."
"Nina… please." Fabian breathed.
"Please what Fabian?" Nina asked, "There is a secret isn't there? Fabian what aren't you telling me?"
"Nina, it's nothing." Fabian began, "I need to tell you, in person."
"Fine," Nina said, "Meet me at the café on eighth."
Once both there, Fabian faced Nina. Nina kept a good distance away from him and avoiding his eyes.
"Tell me." Nina said, looking at her lap.
"I-I," Fabian said, "I was seeing someone. When I met you. Her name was Joy. But, after our first date, I broke up with her."
Nina stared at him, "That's it?"
Fabian hesitated and nodded.
Nina breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was something, like, terrible! Thank god!" Nina wrapped her arms around his neck, "Hey Fabian, I love you."
Fabian's mind raced. She loved him? Oh great, "I love you too." He managed to get out, looking her in the eyes, "You're truly the only girl I ever loved."
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-Things aren't always as they seem….-.-.-.-.-.-.
"You told her what?" Joy Mercer said to Fabian at the doctor's office, "Fabian Rutter, I am not you're ex-girlfriend! I never have been, never will be. Even if I did have that crush on you all those years ago! But that was high school Fabian, we never dated!"
"I know!" Fabian shouted a bit too loudly, "I know. But, I needed to tell her something! I can't tell her what I did do!"
"Yes you can and you have to. Didn't Mick give you three days?"
"Two, now."
"I feel bad for this girl." Joy sighed.
"I have to go check on James, I'll be back." Fabian said, walking toward room 213 to the boy who just had surgery on his knee.
"Love sucks." James muttered as Fabian walked in, dropping his cell phone on the floor.
"You can say that again." Fabian told him.
"LOVE SUCKS!" James said, upfront and loudly.
"Want to talk about it?" Fabian asked.
"Okay, have you ever been stuck between two girls and they're both waiting for you to choose?"
"No, but I'm in a worse situation." Fabian muttered, "How are you dealing with it?"
"Well, there's my ex, Anna and this new girl at my school, Taylor. Anna's fun and good at parties and stuff. And we have a lot of history. Taylor, Taylor's smart. And very shy, but I got to her. We connected. And she's so easy to talk to." James explained, "And Anna wants to get back together, but I already told Taylor I like her."
"Well, I'm going to explain something to you James." Fabian said, "Have you ever been on a rollercoaster?" Fabian continues when James nods, "Well, you know that feeling when you're going up? It's like, you're anxious. That's what it'll feel like when you're about to talk to a girl you love. Then when you're talking to her or thinking of her, it's the feeling when you're heading down the biggest drop. Like, you're stomach drops and you get really nervous. You're palms get sweaty and she's the only thing on your mind. Then when she says your name…" Fabian laughs lightly, "It's like the big loop. You're head's spinning and you can't keep still. Which girl do you feel that way about?"
Without hesitation, James smiles and says, "Taylor."
"Good." Fabian said.
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"You said you were in a worse situation before, what's up?" James asked, "Who's your babe?"
"She's American," Fabian begins, "And her name's Nina. She's perfect in every way. I love her, but I'm keeping a secret from her."
"What's the secret?"
"Well-"
.-.-., will I ever tell you? I mean, every time he's about to say it, I stop! -.-.-.-.-.-.
Nina arrives at Fabian's apartment and hears yelling form Fabian's room.
"Fabian! Would you break up with her already?"
"Mick! I already told you, I love her!"
"Mick Michael Campbell!" Nina shouted, walking into the room, "I've told you before stay out of my life!"
"I've told you he's lying!" Mick yelled.
"He told me about Joy, Mick. Get out and leave him alone." Nina shouted.
"Nina…" Fabian said putting a hand on her shoulder, "It's fine."
"Wait, huh…?" Mick asked, trying to wrap his head around the new lie in the equation.
"No, Fabian! It's not fine! He's bullying you and I want it to stop!" Nina shouted.
"Fine!" Mick yelled, "I'm out!"
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-Uh oh, Mick knows Fabian lied! .-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Nina is going to visit Fabian at work and hears a quiet conversation.
"Fabian, it's gone way too far. You've gone too far now. Two lies?" Mick's voice floated.
"Yeah, Fabian. This poor girl is going to suffer when she finds out!" a girls voice said.
"Joy! Mick! Enough, I get it I screwed up!" Fabian yelled.
Wait Joy? As in Joy Mercer? His ex?
"Hell yeah you did. You got me in trouble with Nina." Mick muttered.
"Mick, that is the least of my problems." Fabian told them, "These two lies are gonna kill me."
Nina heard footsteps and ducks into a room quickly.
"Who the hell are you?" a small boy's voice said. Nina jumped and turned around.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was here." Nina said.
"You didn't answer my question."
"I'm Nina."
"Fabian's Nina?"
"Wait who are you?"
"James."
"How do you know I'm Fabian's Nina?"
"Just remember something," James said, "Fabian loves you."
Nina nodded, slowly walking out but bumps into a petite girl with dark brown hair.
"I'm so sorry!" Nina shouted as she helps the girl pick up her clipboard and papers.
"Oh, it's fine." The girl said, giving her a kind smile.
Nina looks at the name tag that reads Nurse Joy.
"You're Joy." Nina said slowly, "Joy Mercer?"
"You're Nina." Joy said just as slowly, "Nina Martin."
"Yeah." Both girls say.
"Tell me the truth Joy." Nina told her, "Please?"
"Fabian and I never dated." Joy promised her, "I'm sorry."
"It's fine and thank you." Nina said running from the office.
Kinda a cliffy. Eh, review!
