Wishing On Nothing Chapter 4 �Ok is there something on my face because you are looking at me so weird.� I commented. �No. You just have very beautiful eyes but they have sadness in them.� He said. �Yeah I am just a big pupil of sadness.� I said. �I will take that as a joke even though you aren�t laughing.� He said with a big smile but I didn�t smile either. �Mack, come meet Kevin!� Cass yelled to me. I got up and walked over to her with Nick oddly enough right behind me. �Hi Kevin.� I said as he shook my hand. �Hello Mack, is it ok if I call you that?� He asked. �Yeah whatever is fine.� I said. �Hi I am Nick.� Nick said to Cassie �Hi! Great to meet you , too. I see you two are keeping each other company.� Cass said with a smirk that I ignored. �Shouldn�t we be going soon Cass?� I asked. �No I don�t have to work tomorrow and neither do you. Plus Kevin invited us back to his place to chill since this was their last concert of the year.� Cass said giving me as mall shove in the stomach. �Yeah you guys have to come. It is like our small party for the end of the year. All the guys are coming.� Nick said looking at me once again. �I guess I could.� I said a little mad but also happy that this guy actually wanted me of all people to come. �You guess? I was hoping for an I�d love to.� Nick said with a smile. �Ok then I�d love to.� I said smiling back. �Hey Mack I need to talk to ya for a minute.� Cass said and dragged me to the side. �What�s up?� I asked. �Girl, you better not leave yourself out tonight. That Nick guy seems to enjoy your company. You better not push us out.� Cass said. �Cass, I will be nice but I know what I want and I can�t have all that stuff. He is just being nice.� I said trying to walk away. �Just don�t treat him how you treated Keith because you thought he was too good for you.� She said. That hit abit of a tender spot on me and I just turned and made my way back to Nick. I felt all the pain from that part of my life start to build up and my eyes were getting a little wet. �Are you ok?� Nick asked worriedly. �I am fine.� I snapped. �Sorry.� Nick said. �No I didn�t mean to yell like that. I am just having a really bad day.� I said. �Well, we will just have to make sure you have a great night.� Nick said. �I doubt that will happen but I am willing to try.� I said. Cassie and I headed for our car about an hour later and followed them to their house. We were silent the whole ride because I wasn�t in the mood to talk to her after what she brought up. We arrived a little later. �Come on the party is getting started without ya�ll!�� AJ yelled as Nick, Kevin, Cassie, and I went in. There were people everywhere. Music was blaring and food was everywhere in sight. I always dreaded parties like these because that meant people seeing you. I found a door leading to the back where the beach was and made my way out. I didn�t really belong at the party. Just not my thing. I just stood there listening to the breeze and watching the stars. �Mars is over there.� I looked up and saw Nick and he was pointing towards it. �Nice! I never did know where it was.� I said taking a seat on the sand. �Did you know that you are very hard to figure out?� Nick asked me. �Well, I am a girl we are supposed to be like that.� I said laughing at him. �But you are different. I mean I have three sisters and I think you are harder to understand than them. And all we do is yell well you know what I mean. Sibling arguments.� Nick said. �No not really I don�t have any brothers or sisters but I guess I get ya.� I said. �Only child?� Nick asked. �I guess you could call it that. I have lived with Cassie for a while because I don�t have any family. Her and her family are like my own.� I said. �Do mind if I ask what happened?� Nick asked. �No, not at all. They abandoned me when I was born at a church. I was raised there for a while then I met Cassie�s mother whole at church and she found out and took me in. There were a few legal things here and there but we got through that. So I guess you could call Cassie my sister and best friend.� I explained. �I�m sorry.� Nick said. �Don�t be. I am fine with it.� I said. �You seem a lot different than Cassie.� Nick said. �Oh yeah we are. She is the popular fun one and I am the dull one.� I said. �Well, I like you because you seem so natural. You give people a hard time to just get to know you and I find that amazing. You just seem so real.� Nick said. �Well, there�s a lot more to me than meets the eye.� I said looking at him. His eyes were twinkling and I could look into them forever. But I couldn�t go through something like that again because of how I was. �I can see that and I hope you will let me see more of it.� Nick said. Why is he doing this? he was just going to make it harder for me to get over my past.Next: Chapter 5 |
