Chapter Fifteen

*Monday*

I walked into school, and for the first time, Nick wasnt by my side, holding my hand and kissing my cheek and whispering silly stuff in my ears.

I dont think Ive ever cried this much. I really do miss him. He hasnt returned any of my calls and when I went by his house his mother told me he wasnt 'available'. Every second without him was breaking my heart more and more.

As I walked into homeroom, I looked right where Nick was sitting. His head was down and he didnt even look up to see who had come in the room. I took my usual seat next to him.

"Nick?" I asked.

He looked up at me and glared.

"What?" he snapped.

"Nick can we please talk?" I asked, a little hurt by his attitude.

"I dont think there's anything to talk about," he said cooly.

"Nick, please," I said, completely confused. What was wrong with him?

"Enough said Marissa," he snapped and put his head back down. I felt the tears building up, again.

I looked forward and did my best to blink away the tears as the final bell rang. Fifteen minutes of homeroom was the most uncomfortable and heartbreaking. Just looking at him crushed me. He wouldnt even talk to me and I dont understand it.

When I walked to first period, by myself, I could barely make it. Nick walked in front of me, ignoring my presence completely.

"Aww, there first fight," Brad said grinning from his locked. I shot him the dirtiest look and walked away.

I walked in the classroom right after Nick and we took our usual seats.

"Marissa!" Veronica shreiked as she came in the door.

"What?" I mumbled.

"My dad finally got me the Porshe 911!" she exclaimed.

"Your dad couldve bought someone a house for the price of that car," I said bitterly. Spoiled bitch.

"I know, it is so awesome!" she said excitedly.

"Right," I rolled my eyes.

"So, why arent you and loverboy all mushy today?" she asked looking at Nick.

"Dont worry about it," I hissed.

"Uh oh, you two are fighting, arent you?" she asked.

Nick turned around and glared at her and then glared at me.

The class started and the whole time I got the cold shoulder from Nick. I didnt understand why he was so upset with me. He's the one that broke up with me.

*After School*

"Nick!" I called as we walked through the parking lot.

He turned around, realized I was the one calling him and walked off.

"Nick! Please wait!" I said running up to him. I got in front of him and stopped. He tried to go around me, but I went the same way he did.

"Nick, please just talk to me," I begged.

"What do you want me to say Marissa!?" he shouted.

I jumped back, frightened and felt the tears swell my eyes, again.

"Nick, I dont understand what I did," I said, a tear falling from my eye.

"You fucking bitch! You lied to me! That's what you did!" he shouted. By now, people were looking at us. I now felt the tears flood down my cheeks.

"What did I lie about?" I asked.

"Dont play innocent, Marissa. You know damn well what I am talking about," he growled.

"No, I dont Nick. Please tell me," I sobbed.

"Dont you recall the letter you wrote me?" he asked.

"What letter?" I asked, confused.

"This letter," he said pulling it out of his pocket and throwing it in my face. He walked off, leaving me to cry in the parking lot. I picked up the letter and opened it.

Nick, I know I said that I wanted this relationship to work and I really wanted to try to make it work. But, it wont. Im going to follow my father's wishes and be with Brad. He can give me a better future than you could. I know you are going to be hurt, but this is the way it has to be. Marissa

I gasped as I clutched the letter with anger. I didnt write this and Nick should know I wouldnt say anything like this! Im going to kill whoever did this! Then maybe the roses werent real either. The letter was a fake.

I ran to catch up with Nick who was getting in his Durango.

"Nick!" I yelled. He turned, sighed and got in the Durango, not even thinking twice.

"Nick! Please!" I said at his window.

He took a deep breath and rolled down the window.

"What?" he snapped.

"Nick, I didnt write this," I told him.

"Marissa, then who did?" he asked, angry.

"I dont know Nick. But, I didnt," I assured him.

He thought about it for a moment.

"Did you send me roses?" I whispered.

"No," he said looking at me confused.

"This note doesnt ring a bell?" I asked showing him the letter I found with my roses.

I didnt write that," he exclaimed.

"Looks like someone is trying to break us up," I whispered.

"Yeah. Im sorry Marissa," he said looking up. He got out of the Durango and hugged me.

"I love you Marissa," he said into my ear.

"I love you too Nick," I said back.

"Now, let's find out who did this," he said looking at me.

"First, I want a kiss," I told him smiling. He smiled and leaned down and kissed me. It was a kiss that Ive missed so much.
