I make it back to Nick's house to see him and the guys watching a football game,
"Hey, where the hell have you been?" I feel uncomfortable as his friends look me up and down,
"I went down to the dock and then I went fishing with your dad and brother." He frowns and I look at my watch to see that it was two thirty, I didn't realize it was so late. He rolls his eyes and I have never felt so crappy around him, he's never made me feel like this before, it's hard to explain, it's almost as if I feel disposable or something. I walk into the bedroom and close the door. I sit on the bed and wonder what to do, I'm trapped. I have no car, no clothes and no money, the last thing I need is for him to be mad at me, there's no telling what he might do. I jump and my heart jumps too as the door opens and I see Nick walk in,
"Um, I don't have my wallet or anything, can I borrow some money to get some clothes?" He looks at me and shakes his head,
"What?" I ask as I look at him. He gets a sour look on his face,
"Nothing, don't worry about it." I play with my hands as he slides on a pair of flip flops,
"Come on, we'll go now." I stand up and look at my shoes, I can't wear those,
"Do you have another pair of flip flops I can wear?" He nods as he sighs and walks over to the closet. I'm really getting irritated with his pissy attitude,
"What's wrong with you? Am I a burden? You know, you brought me here, I didn't ask to come." He snorted,
"I didn't MAKE you come." He throws the flip flops at my feet and walks out of the room. I'm in shock as I stand in the middle of the room. Why am I getting attitude? What the hell did I do? I grab my phone,
"Hello?" Her voice is like instant comfort sometimes,
"Hey Chris. What's up?"
"Hey, how's it going?" I sigh,
"I'm at Nick's house." I can hear her TV was put on mute,
"You are where? Nick who?" I roll my eyes and smile as I look up at the ceiling,
"You know who...Nick Carter. He was at a club Elliott and I were at last night and he was gonna give me a ride home but we ended up in Marathon."
"Damn, how long has it been? Like almost a year?" I nod,
"Yeah, I have no clothes, no money, no car and he's being a complete asshole to me." Just as I finish my sentence I turn to see Nick standing in the doorway with his keys in his hand. Oh my God, I can't breathe as I watch him walk into the room and close the door,
"Uh Chris I have to go, I'll call you back." I don't wait for a response as I turn off my phone, I know Chris she'll call back in three minutes, she has no patience.
"I'm an asshole? What the fuck is that all about?"
