Nicks P.O.V
I went to my own Apartment, that was slightly bigger than Demi's new one, and took my iPod. I was Feeling a lot of emotions. I was sad, I was angry and I was dissapointed. The best Thing to drown my Feelings had always been listening to Music so thats what I did. I turned up the volume so loud, that I couldnt concentrate on anything else but the Music. I fell asleep shortly after. When I woke up it was late at night. I took my Phone and noticed that I had 3 Missed calls and 2 Messages. The calls were from my mum and from Joe and the Messages were both from Demi.
From: Demi
Can we talk?
From: Demi
Y r u so upset about this? I dont wanna argue with u. call me? xxx
How could someone possibly be this blind? I told her that I liked her, and she just ignored me! Maybe she didnt feel the same way about me, and I would be fine with that. But she flirted with me all the time, and she even slept with me! Was I just a toy to her? I was sick of being treated that way by her. I didnt really have the energy to argue so I didnt call her back. I tried to go back to sleep, but I had slept through the whole day and I wasnt tired at all anymore. I decided to surf the Internet for a Little bit. I got my Laptop and logged onto Twitter. I was hoping for some distration but of course I couldnt escape Demi. Especially not on twitter. I went on her page to see what she was up to and she had a lot of new tweets. The most recent one said: Movie night with my girrrrl 3 She wasnt out partying so I guessed that our Little Argument was bothering her too. But she also wasnt troubled enough about it to stop having fun at all. She was Feeling good enough to watch movies with her friend and inform thousands of People about it. Usually I would be angry. But I just wasnt this time. I wasnt over her, I couldnt be in just one day but maybe, I thought, maybe I was starting to get used to the thought, that I wasnt as important to her as she was to me. It was really hard to understand for me why she wouldnt care about me. I had spent all my years looking out for her, being there for her and she had been there for me too, sometimes. But the second things got complicated she left. She always did. I discovered that reading through her twitter wouldnt help me get to sleep again so I laid down on my bed and started to Count sheep.
The next day, after my classes at college I decided to face my fears. I bought some flowers, to apologize, even though I didnt really have a reason to. I just really wanted everything to turn normal. I was planning on either Revenge; Show her how hurt I am or Ignore everything, and try to Forget about her. I drove to her Apartment. I went into the Elevator and started thinking about what I would say to her. I knocked on the door, with my prepared speech in my mind but Demi wasnt the one opening the door. It was her flatmate, Miley. I was dissapointed. Miley smiled excitedly. ''Hi!'' she squeaked. She opened the door wider, so I could step in. ''Hey, um.. Is Demi at home?'' I asked, my prepared smile falling slowly. Miley looked down, almost dissapointedly. ''No, she's out with her boyfriend.'' she said apologetically. I bit on my tongue to not be rude. The way she said 'boyfriend' pissed me off. But I couldnt really burst out at her. Demi obviously introduced Joe as her boyfriend. ''Hmm. That's too bad.'' I told her then. She pulled her lips between her teeth and shrugged. ''Do you maybe know, when she'll be back? If it's not too Long, I'll wait here if it's ok for you.'' i suggested. ''Well, she said she would be back by eight. It's only, like, half an hour, you can wait here if you want..'' she said. ''Cool.'' I said and started Walking into the living room. I looked back to see her following me. She was playing with her fingers. The living room was a mess. There were Wood boards, pieces of paper, Tools and other stuff scattered on the floor. ''Sorry for the mess, I was trying to build the table for the living room.'' she said and blushed. I chuckled. She sat down next to the Tools and started looking at the Manual. ''I can help, if you want.'' I suggested. Better then awkwardly sitting next to her, right? She looked up at me shyly and nodded. I knelt down next to her and looked at the pieces she managed to attach to eachother. ''You did pretty good.'' i told her. She grinned. ''I'm very talented at things like that.'' She told me while I started to build it. ''Really?'' I asked and looked up at her. ''Yeah. I have two sisters. And I was always the one to help my dad with 'Boys-things' '' she said and giggled. She had a cute laugh. I smiled. ''I have two older Brothers.'' I told her, to Keep the conversation going. We talked about Basic stuff, like what college we are going to, where we lived before, our Hobbies, such things. She was really nice and I was regretting being rude to her in the beginning. But she ignored my behavior from before. She was really funny and I had a Feeling that we could be friends. After we finished building the table we sat down on the Couch and continued talking. I had fun, and didnt really notice the door opening. We were laughing at something Miley told me when I noted Demi Standing in the living room, her arms crossed on her chest. She was watching us with an annoyed face. I knew that face. She was looking us up and down, observing our Position and our Expression. She was jealous. Maybe she was jealous that I got to Hang out with her friend, or maybe she was jealous because I didnt Need her, I could find other friends. Miley noticed Demi too. She waved lightly, the smile not leaving her face. ''Hey, Dems. Nick and I built the table, look.'' She exclaimed excitedly. Demi only glanced at her and the table briefly before looking back at me. ''Cool. I'm in my room. Have fun you two.'' she said uninterested and bored. Then she turned around and left the room. I looked at Miley and saw her looking down awkwardly. ''I'm just gonna leave, I dont really want to talk to her anymore.'' I told Miley. My enthusiasm was gone. Miley nodded understandingly. She went to the door with me and just as I was about to turn around and walk to the Elevator she grabbed my Hand and turned me around so that I was looking at her again. ''Nick?'' She called me. ''Yeah?'' ''Umm...I had really fun today.. I was wondering if.. you would maybe.. like to go out with me someday?'' She stuttered. I was Kind of shocked, to be honest. I wasnt really expecting it. Sure, our Little chatter was fun, and we had a lot in common but I wasnt interested enough in her to go out. Just as I was about to nicely decline, I remembered Demi's look she gave me when she saw us together. I know it was wrong but the thought of Demi being jealous of me was cool and Miley was nice, so why not take Advantage of it? ''Sure, I'd really like that.'' I told her and smiled at her. The way her eyes lit up when I accepted made me smile. We exchanged phone numbers so we could Keep in touch. I went at home with a plan in the back of my mind.
The next day I called Demi. I didnt want to go to her Apartment again. ''Hey Demi, how are you?'' I asked her, acting as if nothing happened. ''I'm fine.'' she said awkwardly. ''Look, I'm sorry I blew up yesterday, I guess I was angry...'' i said. I wanted to explain it to her, why I was so angry and what was upsetting me this much but I had no energy. I was annoyed and I didnt want to end our friendship completely. I just wanted payback for everything she put me through. ''It's okay. Can we ignore that it happened?'' She suggested. Of course she would want to ignore it. Because thats what she always does. She's selfish, she never wants to listen. ''Yeah. Sure.'' i said, pissed off. I considered telling her about my Date with Miley but decided against it. She would be a lot more pissed if she heard it from Miley.
Two days later, on saturday, I was having breakfast with the whole Family. ''How about we all watch the game together today? I'm sure Paul will be happy to spend some time with his Kids.'' My mom said and smiled at us. ''Sure'' Kevin said. Dani smiled at Denise. I didnt really want to watch the game with my dad because he wasnt on my Team and there had always been fights. ''I cant. I'm going out with Demi tonight.'' Joe said. I saw the Chance and I took it. ''I have a date too, actually.'' I told them and the whole Family turned to look at me. It had been a while since I had a real date. ''Oh, really? With who? Do I know her?'' my mom gushed. ''I dont think you know her mom, I just met her.'' I told her. I was trying to get Joe's Attention. I'm sure he would tell Demi. ''Really? How did you meet her?'' My mom continued to ask. ''It's Demi's roommate actually. I met her when I went to see Demi.'' i told her. Joe started listening when he heard Demi's Name. ''Oh, Miley? I have a few classes with her. She's Nice. Kind of boring though.'' Joe said. I was a Little bit offended that he called her boring. She wasnt boring, she was really interesting. Joe didnt even know her that well, why was he judging, i thought. But whatever, it's not like I knew her better. I decided to defend her anyway, because I had a date with her and I didnt want them to think that I was thinking like Joe. ''I dont think she is. She's really interesting. We have a lot in common.'' I told Joe. My mom was listening closely. I could easily guess what she was thinking. 'Potential daughter in law?' No. Mom. ''Demi says she's a bitch.'' Joe said then and drank some of his coffee. I dropped my fork. ''Why would she say that?!'' I asked him, almost shouting. This was less about Miley now and more about Demi. I couldnt understand why she was acting like that. ''She doesnt come out of her room, like ever. All she does is studying. I was there on Thursday all day, I didnt see her once!'' he told. ''Whatever.'' I said. I didnt have time for this. After breakfast I texted Miley.
To: Miley
Hey. Do you wanna go out tonight?
From: Miley
Sure, what are we doing?
I suggested to go Bowling. I didnt know if she actually liked Bowling or if she just wanted to hang out, but she agreed. I decided to wear Jeans with a button down Shirt. I picked her up at eight o'clock. ''Hi!'' she greeted me as she got into my car. ''Hey'' I said and leaned Forward to kiss her cheek. She smiled big, showing off her White teeth. She was wearing Jeans Shorts and a regular White V-neck. The rest of the drive was silent, i didnt really know what to talk about. We arrived shortly after and got our own Bowling alley. ''I'm really good at this, get ready to lose.'' I told her then, to loosen the mood. ''I'm very determined.'' She said and giggled. My first ball was a strike. I looked at her expectantly. She got her ball and was getting ready to throw it. I got a good Chance to check her out as she was doing that. I didnt pay Attention to it at first but she was hot. Her legs were lightly thin and tan. She had a cute Little butt and I had a great view from where I was standing. I noticed that she was still Standing there and she wasnt throwing the ball. Just as I was about to say something she turned around with the ball in her Hands. She looked lost and I had to laugh at that. I could guess why she wasnt playing. ''I have to admit...I dont really know how to Play Bowling.'' she stated. She blushed and looked embarassed. It was pretty cute. ''No way!'' i said teasingly. She rolled her eyes. ''Just dont laugh at me please.'' she pleaded. I nodded and tried to Keep my face straight. She threw the ball, it went diagonal and hit one Bowling pin. I couldnt Keep my laughter in. She pouted her pink lips in an adorable way and looked up at me. ''Awww it's okay. I'll Show you.'' i told her and winked. She giggled while I got myself a ball. I threw it slowly and showed her what I was doing. Although it only hit seven Pins, she looked impressed. She took her next ball but before she could throw it I stopped her. ''No, you're Holding it wrong. Look, you gotta hold it like this.'' i went behind her and reached around to hold the ball with her. I slightly leaned down so that my face was right next to her ear. I dont know if she was Feeling attracted at that Moment, because her face was concentrated on the ball in her Hands. She leaned down and we threw the ball together. It knocked 6 Pins down which was obviously a very good Performance for her. She squeaked and clapped her Hands. Usually I hated when Girls did things like that, but she was so cute that I actually enjoyed watching her. She learned it after that and she wasnt even that bad but of course I won. We were finished at 23 o'clock and I drove her home. I had fun but I didnt Forget my intentions of going out with her. Getting Demis Attention. I brought her to the door of her Apartment to see if Demi was home. Miley opened the door and I noted that the light in the living room was on. ''Thanks, Nick. I had a lot of fun.'' Miley said. ''I had fun too.'' I answered but I was distracted by Demi, who was peeking out of the living room door. ''So...I guess I'll see you.'' i said and leaned down to kiss her on the cheek. From the Corner of my eye I could see Demi clenching her teeth and I smirked.
