He annoys me
It’s me weeks now and Nolan still ignores me. At school he pretends like we're lovey dovey but anywhere not in the public eye I don’t exist. He and Ryder act like they never were friends.
I really need someone to talk to. I haven’t talked to Damien in a while and I need to start making time for him. I facetimed him in desperate need of help. He didn’t answer… I don’t blame him, I've been a horrible friend. It was like as soon as I got here I forgot about him. It was getting harder and harder living here. I decided it was time I took matters into my own hands. If Nolan didn’t want to talk to me then fine I will make him.
I rushed to Nolans room and barged through the door. That’s when I saw it… Nolan kissing some girl from school. Looked like they were going to do more than just kiss because her shirt was off.
“Why didn’t you knock first?” Nolan asked like I had no right even though he was the one cheating on me.
I rushed out of the room being sure to slam the door behind me.
What did you expect Nasme. He doesn’t care about you, and you’re stupid to think he’ll ever love you.( I said in my head)
I ran to my room and locked the door. All I could do was cry really.
“Nasme, can you please open the door so we can talk?” Nolan said wiggling the door knob.
I didn’t say anything soon after he left. And to think I thought I liked him. I must be the stupidest girl on the planet.
“Get over it Nasme. You knew he didn’t like you like that; he said it to your face.”
~Flashback~
“It’s ok I wasn’t going to actually penetrate, I would rather us wait until we get married anyway. I was going to do something else.” Nolan said the last part seductively.
“What do you mean something else?” I asked
“You’ll see.” Nolan said with a smirk.
Nolan started to kiss me really passionately. I had never felt this way before; no one has ever made me feel this way before.
“Nolan…” I called
“Huh?” He said sucking on my neck.
“I really like you.” I said with a big smile on my face.
Just like that Nolan stopped kissing me, he stopped touching me. He got up and I grabbed his hand to tell him to stay. He snatched his hand away from me and put on his clothes.
“What’s wrong? Did I do something?” I was very confused.
“Let me make something VERY clear to you. I don’t know what you're hoping for when we get married but we will not be together. I don’t care about you, you’re an accessory for the public eye. Your only job is to make me look good and have heirs for the company. I don’t know what type of fantasy you live in but we are not going to magically fall in love and live happily ever after.” Nolan’s face was red and a vein was popping out of his neck.
He had honestly scared me. I didn’t say anything as Nolan left the room.
A tear fell down my cheek. I’m sure he didn’t mean it, I told myself.
~End of Flashback~
As I think about that night I feel very stupid. Usually Nolan was very sweet to me so I didn’t think he meant it. I thought he just was having a bad reaction to me confessing my feelings.
Oh how wrong I was. How could I be so stupid. How could I let him talk to me like that and practically beg for him to talk to me after. I thought he didn’t mean what he said but in reality he meant every word. Him being with another girl proves it.
Everything about how perfect and beautiful I was, it was all a lie. I guess I’m not beautiful in his eyes… maybe in no one's eye.
He was playing a joke on me and I totally fell for it. I fell for him.
I started to cry more and more. HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID?
“Family Meeting” My mom called.
I wiped my eyes. I couldn’t let Nolan see that I was crying. Then I realized this wasn’t my family and I’m not allowed to hear business matter’s anyway. They could all choke to death, see if I care.
My mom wasn’t my mom anymore, my dad is dead, and I can’t get in contact with Damien. This is the first time in my life that I felt totally and utterly alone.
I changed into some shorts and a tube top to get comfortable. I turned on the TV and clicked on Netflix. Binge watch here I come.
Just then I heard a knock at the door.
“Nasme, I called a family meeting.” It was my supposed mom. She wiggled the door knob. I locked it.
“Come unlock the door.” I didn’t have time for her big mouth.
I got up tiredly and opened the door.
“Let’s go now. We need to talk about something important.” My mom said
I grabbed my sweater to cover my shoulders.
Me and her walked to Zander’s office. As soon as I walked in Nolan was right there.
“We need to talk.” Nolan said.
I ignored him and sat on the couch in the office.
“There are some things we need to discuss. The things that happened when the Harrington’s were here are unexceptable.” Zander said.
I rolled my eyes.
“Is there something you’d like to say Nasme.” Zander said, staring at me.
“What could have possibly gone wrong. I was the perfect angel in your little act.” I said with disgust.
My mom gave me a glare.
I looked at her.
“What? I’m just being honest, mom.” I said with a smile.
“Allow me to point out everything you did wrong. First, you put your 2 cents in on the wedding, no one needs your opinion. Second, you eat too much. Me and my son don’t need a fat girl trailing us around. Third, by asking Nolan did he think you were fat was undermining our authority. Since he’s your husband to be, he can’t say that with company and you made it seem like you had a say over my son which you don’t. Nolan it is time you got her in check.” Zander said.
“Oh I get it you want me to act like the robot you programmed my mother to be.” I said
“We have rules, you have to follow them.” Zander said plainly.
“Ok I won’t talk, eat, or move next time we have company. I'm done with this meeting.” I said getting up and exiting the office. Nolan followed me out.
“Look, what you said that night you're totally right we will never be together. I know that now. We’re in the comfort of a home so no need to talk or be friends with each other.” I said going up the stairs.
I closed my room door and locked it.
What has my life turned to.
