A Fight to Finish

Chapter 15

He takes me upstairs and I see many rooms in the hallway, I wonder how many rooms they have here. He opens one of the rooms which I pray is not his, It's really lovely, the walls are white as well as the sheets on the king sized bed, the curtains are grey. “You have a cold” he says as he touches my forehead with the back of his palm. “Go shower and change up” “I don't have any clothes” I say but he doesn't answer and walk out. I hang my wet clothes in the bathroom and have a hot bath. I come out and see a white shirt on the bed, I wear it and it stops mid thigh and I cringe. I perceive the scent of his signature cologne, so I guess the shirt is his. I go downstairs and I see him, he stares at me for a while, gross, before saying “join us for tea”. Damn it, I forgot to wear my bra, I reluctantly join them for tea. “Pretty face, you look hot in Nick's shirt” Liam says and the rest chuckle while Nick glares at them. “What time are your parents coming back” Leo asks Nick “10 or 11” he replies. “Dallas can I ask you something” Michel asks “depends, but sure” “did you know you were pregnant” “no” I say munching on my sandwiches. “How, you didn't use protection or what” he says and all the boys are staring at me seriously. “I was r***d by a friend” I reply with no emotion, “s**t, I'm sorry” “who's the moron” “f**k the nigga” “why didn't you say anything” came flying out of their mouths at once. “It's okay, I'm over it though” I say and finish my food then retire to the room.

Nicole's POV

“I was r***d by a friend” Dallas says and I feel like choking. ‘Who the hell would do such a thing’, is what I thought. I feel so bad for her right now, I can't even help her. “It's okay, I'm over it now” she says and I want to strangle whoever the asshole is. She finishes her food and goes upstairs. 'Why do I care so much about her’ I ask myself. I get pills to relieve the cold and go after her. To be honest, the only reason I didn't take her to my room is cause, I didn't want her to have second thoughts. I enter her room and see her standing by the bed. 'She looks so good in my shirt’ I say in my head. “Hey, I brought this for you” “I don't need it” she says and I hear shivers in her voice. “You're gonna get sick” “like you care” “I do care, else I won't be here” I tell her getting frustrated. “Then stop caring. I can help myself, I don't need you or anyone, why can't you just leave me alone” she screams. “Because I love you” the words come rushing out of my mouth before I stop it.

“Because I love you” he says and I look at him like he's gone crazy. “Then stop loving me” I say calmly. “I want to but I can't and you have to understand that I'll always care about you whether you like it or not” “you hardly ever talk to me” “some people need time to figure out themselves” he says. “Why should I believe you besides everyone knows how you are with girls” “you're not all girls, you're different” “I don't believe you, you're a liar, I can't trust you” I say and I see hurt flash through his eyes. “I'm a liar, you don't believe me” he asks in a low tone, I hesitate “no I don't, I'm sorry” and I look away. He opens the door and leaves. ‘Why do I feel like guilty’ I ask myself. I turn off the lights to go to bed but I can't stop thinking about him and those words ‘I love you’, something's definitely wrong with me.
