It had been three days since I yelled at Nick, and to tell you the truth, I was over the whole Miley thing. She was only using him, and if he wants to get hurt, let him.
“Guys I’m bored,” I whined, plopping down on my couch.
“Let’s do something!” Jes exclaimed. “But what?”
Nick groaned as we thought, and Jes said, “Let’s play truth or dare.”
I smiled and nodded my head in agreement. “You first,” I said to Jes.
“Okay. Nick. Truth or dare?” she asked.
“Truth,” he said.
“Do you really like Miley, or are you just using her to make Cassie jealous?” Jes smirked.
Everyone’s jaw dropped in shock, and Nick said, “Of course I like her. I wouldn’t need anybody to make Cas jealous, I could do that myself.”
I rolled my eyes, and Kevin sat next to me. He put an arm around me, pulled me close to him, and whispered in my ear, “He still likes you. A lot. He’s just being stupid.”
“Then why does he act all conceited?” I asked, out loud.
“I don’t know,” Kevin said. “Ask him.”
“I think not,” I replied, which made Kevin snicker.
“Nick, go.” Joe said.
“Fine,” Nick said. “Cassie. Truth or Dare?”
“Like that wasn’t a surprise,” I muttered. “Dare.”
“I dare you to,” he said. “Um. Kiss Kevin.”
“WHAT?!?” Kevin and I yelled in unison, causing everyone around us to laugh.
“He’s like 50 years older than me!” I complained.
“It’s a dare,” Nick said.
“You know what,” I said. “Fine.”
I leaned in towards Kevin and whispered, “Let’s do this. Pretend it’s not me. Someone else you like, and make it real.”
He nodded and I looked him in the eyes. We both inched closer and closer, until our lips finally met. Kevin quickly licked my bottom lip, and I slightly opened my mouth. His tongue slid in, and before I realized it, we were making out. Kevin is a really good kisser though.
“Okay,” I heard. We didn’t stop.
“You can stop now.” We still didn’t stop.
Suddenly, I was being pulled away from Kevin, and when I did, I looked at him and mouthed, ‘Good job.’
He beamed, and I laughed.
“That was disgusting,” Nick groaned.
“Are you jealous?” Kevin asked. That got everyone in the room but Nick to laugh. He rolled his eyes.
“Okay. So Joey! Truth or Dare?” I asked.
“Truth,” he smiled.
“Okay,” I said. “So um.”
“Does Nick still have feelings for Cassie?” Chase asked, cutting me off.
“You can’t answer that!” Nick said. “Cassie didn’t ask.”
“Okay fine,” I smirked. “Joey, does Nick still have feelings for me?”
Joe looked at me, then at Nick, then back to me. He slowly nodded his head and said, “Yeah.”
“JOE!” Nick yelled.
Joe took this as his cue to get up and run upstairs. Nick followed him, and the rest of us followed Nick. Joe ran into my room, and jumped over my bed.
“Joe!” Nick whined. “You said you wouldn’t say anything!”
“I had to tell the truth!” Joe sang.
I walked in my room and both of them stopped to look at me. “What?” I asked.
Neither of them said anything, but Nick took this opportunity to jump over my bed and tackle Joe. Joe was on the floor, under Nick, and flailing his arms and legs everywhere. He kicked a notebook, which opened, and a piece of paper came falling out.
Nick stopped hitting Joe, and Joe stopped kicking. Joe picked up the paper and read, “When You’re Gone.”
“HEY!” I yelled. “GIVE ME THAT!”
“Oooh. Nicky,” Joe said. “I don’t think we were supposed to see this. RUN!”
Joe gave Nick the paper, and they both scrambled out of my room, me following them. Nick threw the paper back at Joe, and he quickly read it, running down the hall. He smiled and gave it back to Nick, who ran into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.
“NICK!” I yelled, banging on the door. “Please! Give it back!”
“I’m not done with it!” I heard come from the other side of the door.
I groaned, leaned against the wall, and slid down it, my head in my hands.
-Nick’s POV-
Joe gave me the paper, and I ran into the bathroom with it, and locked the door.
“NICK!” Cas yelled, banging her fists on the door. “Please! Give it back!”
“I’m not done with it!” I yelled, opening it to read it.
It was a song. Titled, “When You’re Gone.”
[A/N: I know this is an Avril Lavigne song, but I’m like the worst at writing lyrics. Haha.]
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you
‘Woah,’ I thought. ‘This is deep. And she misses me. I miss her too. Man, this is so complicated. I don’t really like Miley though, she’s too clingy. But I don’t wanna get back with Cas and have her cheat on me again. What to do? What to do? I guess I could talk to Kevin and Joe about it, and then depending on what they say, maybe talk to Cas.’
I walked out of the bathroom to see Cas leaning up against the wall, on the floor, her head was in her hands.
“Um. Here?” I said, and it came out as a question.
“Whatever,” she said, ripping the paper out of my hands and walking into her room, slamming the door.
