we are one (2)
chapter six
It was the next morning and she hadn’t slept much. She sat up in bed and hoped she had imagined all of last night and the phone would ring and it would be Mark telling her he loved her. A ringing sound interrupts her train of thought. She suddenly snapped out of her dazed state and realised it was her phone. Could that be him now? Was last night just a bad dream. She grabbed for the phone.
"Hello" she said sounding excited.
"Hey, its me Nicky"
"Oh hi" she replied a little disheartened.
"How are you?" Nicky wondered.
"Well I was hoping that you were Mark and that everything that happened last night was just a bad dream, but I guess it really did happen then" I said sighing.
"So are you okay?" Nicky repeated himself.
"No, to be completely honest. Nicky, I am so alone, I can't stand it. Its obvious after last night that Mark just doesn’t feel anything for me anymore" I said with a lump in my throat.
"Hey now come on, you know that’s not true." Nick said trying to reassure me.
"Look can I come over I have to talk to you about something?" he finished.
"Sure, what’s wrong." I questioned him.
"Its just I have to tell you this face to face, not over the phone. "
I was getting nervous the longer Nicky took to arrive at my house. Nicky really had me worried. What did he have to tell me that was so important? The doorbell sounded. I was at the door in seconds.
"Hiya, that was quick" Nicky said as I swung the door open.
"Yeah… come in" I said to Nicky leading him in.
"Nice place" Nicky commented as he sat down on my couch.
‘Thanks"
"So" I said trying to push the subject along.
"Okay Kelly, it's like this" Nicky began
I sat still and look intently at Nicky.
"Yesterday when we were talking at the beach, Mark and the guys did some talking as well. "
"Yeah"
"Kelly… he told the guys that he still loved you and wanted you back" Nicky looked at her, waiting for her reaction.
"It can’t be true, after what he said last night to me" I trying not to believe it. Even though I wanted to.
"It is Kelly, look I wouldn’t lie to you. He told me himself last night when I found him."
"What do you mean found him?" I questioned him.
"Well after the guys told me last night I wanted to find you to before anything bad happened. But I was too late. When I found Mark he was heart broken. He had been crying and was angry.
"Ohh man this can’t be happening" I said
"All he wanted was to get you back."
"So why did he say what he did last night then" I said getting more confused.
"Cause he thought that you didn’t want him back" Nicky said
I could feel tears coming to my eyes. "Nicky all I wanted was for him to want me like I wanted him, I would do anything for him, Why didn’t he just tell me?" I felt the tears roll down my check.
"I think he feared that he would lose you forever." Nicky said putting a comforting hand on mine.
"He could never lose me"
Nicky’s mobile phone suddenly interrupted our conversation. He answered it.
"Hello Nicky speaking" he said.
"Nicky, its Shane."
"Hey Shane, what’s up?" Nicky questioned.
"We have got the call, we are leaving tonight."
"Why, what happened?" Nicky added looking confused.
"Nothing, just Louis wants us to head over to Europe. He thinks we have been here long enough."
"Oh man."
I looked at Nicky confused. I could not figure out what was going on from his end of the conversation.
"How long have I got?" Nicky suddenly said.
"3 hours"
"Really, god, okay I’ll be right back" Nicky finished.
"Thanks mate, seeya" He said hanging up.
"What's wrong?" I said to Nicky.
"We have to leave, we have three hours left before we fly out."
"You can’t leave not now." I said desperately.
"Sorry there is nothing I can do"
"What am I suppose to do?"
"Come to the airport, talk to him. He knows how you feel you just have to tell him yourself."
"But what’s the point you are about to leave, how can we be together when he’s not going to be here."
"You have to, it is the only option. Look I’m sorry but I have to go, tell me you will be at the airport."
"Okay, I’ll be there." I said as he got up to leave.
"Thank you Nicky for everything" I said hugging him.
"No problem, I just want to see you happy" He said back squeezing me tight.
"Look I better go or else I will be late." Nicky said.
"Sure" I said opening the door.
"You will be okay then?" Nicky said as he turned to leave.
"I think so." I added.
"See ya later." He said giving me a big hug and a kiss on the check.
"You take care and I’ll hopefully see you later" He said walking down the corridor.
"Okay, bye" I added closing the door.
I leant against the back of the door and thought about what was about to happen. I decided to write Mark a letter and tell him all that was in my head. As I didn’t think I could tell him everything. This was the only way. I began writing and time passed. I re-read what I had written one last time. I looked at my watch. I had very little time left so I ran to get organised. As soon as I was ready I headed to my car. Traffic was banked up. It was rush hour. Why didn’t I think of this before? I will never get there. I was still about 15 minutes away, and the guys flight was probably boarding. Time was running away from me. I grabbed my mobile and began to ring Nicky’s number.
"Hello Nicky’s phone, Kian speaking!?"
"Kian - hey its me, where’s Nicky?"
"Where are you?"
"Stuck in traffic would you believe?"
"Oh man, here’s Nicky."
"Hey Kelly."
"Nicky I’m stuck in traffic."
"How long are you going to be?’ he asked concerningly.
"I hope only 15 minutes."
"It’s going to be close. I’ll tell Mark and tell him to met you in the VIP room."
"Thanks, I hope I make it."
"You will, see you soon."
"Hey, if I don’t make it…."
"Yeah"
"You guys all have a safe trip, and say goodbye to the guys from me okay"
"Will do, but you what about Mark?"
"God I don’t know, Tell him to call me, and that we have to meet up to sort things out."
"Okay will do. "
"And Nicky."
"Yeah"
"Tell him I love him."
"Sure, I will, now hurry up and get here." He added.
"I’m trying"
