34. Chapter 34

FABIAN'S POV

She's back. Nina's back.

I can't decide to be happy… or downright terrified.

For the past half hour, I've been hiding under the refreshments table, avoiding Nina for all it is worth. I can't let her see me yet. I don't know how to confront her.

Shadows encroach from the outside, and suddenly KT's head is under the table.

"Fabian? What are you doing under there?" she asks.

"It's-it's Nina. Did you see her yet? She's not close is she? I can't let her see me!"

"And why is that?"

"Well, she uh, she was my first girlfriend. We dated for two years, and we - we never really broke up. She left when she found out it wasn't safe for her to be near Eddie."

"So you're not over her," KT says. She's smiling. Why is she smiling?

"What are you doing? Why are you smiling?" I ask.

"I understand," KT says. "You're not over Nina yet."

"What? No! It's not that! It's… I just haven't seen her in so long. I don't know how to face her."

"C'mon," she says, extending her hand to me. "We're going to go see Nina."

KT yanks me out from beneath the table. I follow her begrudgingly as we weave through the crowd.

I stop in my tracks. There she is. Nina.

A few feet away from me, Nina is conversing with Jerome and Joy. When she sees me, our eyes meet. She interrupts her conversation with the two and runs over to me, throwing her arms around my neck.

"Fabian! Oh, God, I missed you!" she exclaims.

"You-you did?" I ask with a smile. I try to take it away, to remove it from my face, but the smile will not diminish.

"Of course," she says. "You're all I've been thinking about since I left."

I glance at KT. She nods and mouths, "I understand. Take her back."

I hate to let KT go, but Nina was my first love. Nothing or no one will ever change that.

"Nina, do you want to dance?" I ask.

"I'm in jeans and a sweatshirt, but yeah!" she teases.

I'm about to offer her my hand when Eddie, Patricia, Cassidy, and Liam barge in. They dash over to me.

"Nina," Eddie says. "You need to come with us. Now."

Nina stares at him perplexedly. "What?"

"We'll explain everything along the way, but we need you. You're our only hope."

They take Nina from me, and once again, the Chosen One slips through my fingers.
