No sir
Well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
It's your turn to take a seat
We're settling the final score
"Hey Mitch. It's me Heather... You know your girlfriend. I'm at the park where you told me to meet you and I've been here for about an hour now and I'm wondering if you're gonna show at all. I'm really sick of this crap Mitch. You're probably blazing it. You know what I'm tired of this, we are over."
I sighed as I got up off the swing I had been sitting on and pressed the end button on my cell phone. I put it in my hobo bag even though I felt like throwing it across the field. My now ex-boyfriend had just stood me up because he was probably out with his idiot friends blazing it in some ditch. He always picked that stupid crap over me and I wasn't gonna take it anymore. The score was settled and it was over. Period.
And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
I walked back to my house almost in tears. I knew this was what was best for me but why did it have to hurt this much? I mean I really liked him and he was my whole world. Well he had been before he got caught up in the wrong crowd. See the thing was we had been dating since the 6th grade and now I was a freshman. I knew this was just giving myself heartbreak but that was going to happen either way. No matter what I did. It was going to be that way.
I knew there was only one person I could turn to in this situation. My best friend. Nicholas Jonas. So instead of stopping at my house I crossed the street and walked a few houses down to his. I stopped at the front door and gently pressed the doorbell as I pulled my bag up higher on my arm. A few seconds later the door flew open and I was tackled by a hug around my legs.
"Hey Frankie. How's my little man?" I asked as I picked him up and squeezed him back.
"Good! Nick's in his room. I'll walk you there." He said when I set him down. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the warm house and up the stairs.
"Promise you'll say goodbye before you go okay?" Frankie said as we stopped at Nick's door.
"Promise little man." I said as I ruffled his hair and he let go of my hand. I watched as he opened the door to his room and then closed it before knocking on Nick's door.
"Who is it?" I heard him ask from the other end.
"Heather." I said just before he pulled open his door.
"Hey Header." He said as he pulled me into a hug.
I smiled at my nickname before following him into his room. The room if I do say so myself, was very Nick. The bed sheets were a royal blue as were the walls. He had posters of all his favorite bands, singers and pictures of his family, friends and all of the tickets to the places he had traveled.
"What's up?" He asked as he pushed his guitar off the bed and made room for me.
I sat down beside him and sighed deeply, which was never a good sign.
"Nick I broke up with Mitch." I said as I laid back and covered my face with my hands.
The tears started to flow as Nick pulled my hands away from my face as he stroked my blond hair out of my green eyes.
And why, all the possibilities
Well I was wrong
"It will be fine Heather." Nick stated as I cried harder.
"Everyone said that I was the best thing that happened to him. If something bad ever happens to him I'm gonna feel so guilty." I said softly between sobs.
"Look Heather, Yeah sure you were good for him and yeah everyone is gonna say that but they aren't looking at all the possibilities. Was he a good influence on you? Did he care about you the same way you did for him? When they say that they aren't thinking about you. You have to believe that you did the right thing." He said as he pulled me into his chest.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
That's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
"I know but it still hurts." I said as the salty tears started to soak his red shirt.
"I know Heather but that's what happens when you let your heart win. Love is a part of taking chances. You listened to your heart and it was good at first but it lead to heartbreak. It doesn't mean that you're stupid for taking the chance it just means that you're not going to live your life in fear of being hurt. And that you're not going to let it keep you from trying new things." He said softly.
I wonder
How am I supposed to feel when you're not here?
Cuz I've burned every bridge I ever built
When you were here
"But what am I going to do now? Do you know how many guys I turned down for him? How many friends I've lost because they didn't like his decisions? I have nobody." I said as I clung to his wet shirt.
"I know Heather but you have me." He said as he began to stroke my hair again.
I still try
Holding on to silly things, I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities
I'm sure you've heard
"But Nick, I know I have you but I have nobody else." I said.
"Heather stop holding on to the silly things and trying to convince yourself of the possibilities that have run through your mind since you broke it off. You know this is what is best for you so stop trying to get yourself to believe otherwise." Nick said as I nodded.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
That's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
"Okay thanks Nick." I said as I hugged him.
"Any time Header."
"Why are you such a good friend? You're always there for me. Even if I don't deserve it. Why?" I asked.
He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. His beautiful chocolate brown eyes met with my crystal green ones before he said it.
"Because I'm in love with you."
Pain, make your way to me, to me
And I'll always be just so inviting (so inviting)
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let's start, start - hey!
I was shocked. I withdrew my arms from his toned torso. He loved me? Why would he love me? All these thoughts ran through my head as his eye burned holes through me. What was I going to say to him? Was I ready for another heartbreak so fast if he would even break my heart, which I doubted. I sighed inwardly as I wondered if I was ever going to be able to think straight. If I did the world would probably end.
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh, why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
If I said no I knew I would be hurting myself because part of me did love Nicholas back. I remembered what he had told me only minutes before. That I shouldn't let the hurt keep me from trying new things. So I went for it.
"I love you too."
That's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
That's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
Now I can't trust myself with anything but this
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, woah
He smiled and leaned in pressing his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I felt him smile against my lips. Fireworks were going off in my head as butterflies irrupted in my stomach. He pulled away a little too soon for my liking and pressed his forehead to mine.
"Are you sure about this?" He asked like the gentleman he was.
"Nick I wouldn't trust myself with anything but this." I said as he smiled and pressed his lips to mine again.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win...
