Chapter 22 - Wait

Nina's POV

Let me tell you, that dinner was awkward. The two pie eaters cleaned up before, so it looked like nothing happened, but you could defiantly tell by the tension creating a tense atmosphere. I swapped seats with Patricia so I was now sitting next to Joy and Jerome. At first, I received confusing stares, especially with Jen, but with Jerome's help they discreetly stopped. Throughout that whole thing, Eddie was staring at me while I looked anywhere but him, playing with my food. I did not feel like eating. All you could hear was the clanking of cups, forks and knifes.
"Ok, what's up? This silence is making me go mad!" Amber screamed, breaking the aura. I turned to Jerome who was already looking at me. I nodded at him to go on.
"For those who missed it, Neddie - no longer exists. This person we called loving cheated on Nina with that witch." Jerome calmly replied. First everyone's mouths dropped open or their eyes turned to saucers. Then they looked to Patricia; most giving her glares, followed by sympathy towards me and ending with death glares dedicated to the one and only Eddie Miller.

"WHAT? You broke up Neddie for her?" Amber shrieked. Eddie didn't acknowledge her. After enough shouting and prodding, everyone quit bothering him. That is until Trudy brought in dessert. When I saw what it was, I gave out a small chuckle. Jerome nudged me and I pointed at the pie that our lovely house mother was cutting up. He then realised and laughed too. I looked over too the wicked witch of the west and my ex, who had shock and terror written all over their face. I then faced Jerome again and he followed my eyes down to the pie. He gave his famous smirk and picked up one of the pieces.
"Well, look what we have here? Remember this Miller? Trix?" Jerome teased them, making everyone around the table watch eagerly. I put up three fingers and slowly counted down.
" 3 2 1!" I screamed, directing Jerome to throw the slice to the opposition. The cake hit the blonde square in the face and slid down, leaving a cream trail from the top of his nose to his chin. I burst out laughing while my hand grabbed out for another face. This time I swung, hitting Patricia right on the mouth. I high - fived the boy who helped me and stood up.
"Are you guys being greedy? That's your second helping today! You don't want more now?" I told them, pointing at the left over pieces. When they didn't reply I left the room and made my way up to my room. How Eddie was going to get me back? I don't know. But I couldn't think of a single thing to get me back after what he had done.

After a few moments, Jen and Amber burst through the door, holding their sides and still laughing. I raised an eyebrow at them and waited till they were normal again. I watched them rolling about on their beds or floor and tears streaming down their face with their mouths wide open. When the finally stopped and their mouths closed, my mouth opened.
"So what happened?"
"Nina, who knew you were bad enough for revenge?" Amber giggled. Jen smirked at her, she knew what I was really like. The new couple were lucky I didn't go all out. I shrugged my shoulders as a response and eyed them.
"Oh, we were laughing because of what Jerome told us you did when you saw them and what Jerome is planning to do to them. He said something about being there when it happened so he knew how much it must've hurt." Jen told me after realising what I was asking them. I fell back on my bed and eventually fell asleep.

I woke up at 1am to the sound of a guitar. I followed the tune, down the wooden steps, under the unlit chandelier and stopping outside his room. I drew a deep breath and opened the door. Eddie was humming to himself while writing something on a notepad. Lyrics possibly. I stood there for a while watching him work, my anger slowly disappearing. I brushed my hair to the side, making some kind of noise that made his head shoot up and look me in the eyes.
"Hi" I whispered.
"Hi" He repeated back. I walked up to him and sat next to him. My frustration was gone, at the minute I just wanted to be with him. I placed my head in the crook of his neck, listening to his tune.
"Who's the song for?" I murmured to him.
"You" He instantly said. "The lyrics will mean the most when you hear it. I am truly sorry Nina, I didn't mean it to happen, we were just walking then out of no where she held my hand. It was normal for me since back in America me and my friends always held hands then she just placed one on me I swe - I shut his apology and excuse up with a hard smack to the face. What I wanted too and boy did it feel good.
"I'm not forgiving you that easily Eddison. What you did was heart breaking but it is forgivable, your just going to have to wait" I told him. Then with a quick peck on the cheek I slapped, I walked up to my room and fell into a deep slumber.
