UNBREAKABLE
Chapter 29
Matt's P.O.V.
“One raspberry blend medium smoothie, and one pomegr-anana medium smoothie please.” I get the money out of my wallet and set it on the counter. The guy starts to work on my order and I turn around to see what Nikki was doing. She was talking to someone. It looked like…Rory? What was she doing here? I turn around and grab the smoothies that the guy made for us.
“Thank you!” I say to the guy and smile, tasting my pomegranate and banana mixed smoothie.
“No problem!” The guy paused and looked over my shoulder. “Oh dang…”
“What?”
“That girl just slapped that other chick!” He was pointing past my right arm. I turn around to see who he was talking about. I drop my smoothie. It was Rory and Nikki. Nikki had her hand up to her cheek and Rory was laughing. I leave my drink spilled on the counter and sprint towards them.
“Nikki! Rory! What did you do to her!?!?” I run up to Nikki and lift her chin up. I remove her hand off her cheek to reveal a red hand mark.
“Rory, what is wrong with you?” I stand up and look into her glaring eyes.
“What’s wrong with ME? There’s nothing wrong with me. There’s something wrong with you, that’s for sure. You’re with this animal, when you can have me. But I understand, you don’t actually like her. You just feel bad for this poor little…this little…thing. It’s okay. I told her and she understands, so now you don’t have to worry about her anymore.” She steps towards me and puts her arms around my neck. How disgusting. I throw her arms off and look back down at Nikki. She was crying and her hand was pressed against her forehead.
“Rory. Please. Before I snap, please leave. I love Nikki. More than anything. Okay. Understand? Please leave.” I didn’t want to start a scene, but I didn’t want to have to deal with Rory either. Nikki was everything I wanted. Everything I needed. I made Rory walk off and I sit back down next to Nikki. I pull her hand into mine.
“Hey, Nikki. You okay love? Just ignore Rory, she’s just a b*tch, and you know that. She’s probably just jealous of you.”
Nikki takes her hand off her forehead and blinks a couple times. “Uhh. I don’t know. I’m fine. It’s nothing. And no, she has nothing to be jealous about.” She turns her head the other way and I watch her secretly wipe her tears. Rory must’ve said something that made Nikki so emotional.
“What do you mean she has nothing to be jealous about? You have everything she doesn’t, and more. Nikki, you’re smart, outgoing, loving, caring, athletic, fun, gorgeous, and basically every other good quality. No one could ever match you.” I turn her face to face me and wipe her tears off her cheek.
“Hmm, but you’re not as pretty when you cry. Maybe you should smile.” I tease her and begin to tickle her left side.
“Matt! Stop!” She lets out her obnoxious but cute laugh and jumps up from the towel and squirms away. “We are not doing this again!” She sits down a couple feet away from me.
“Okay fine. But at least tell me what’s wrong.” I crawl over and lay down next to her.
“It’s just…I don’t know. Well, Rory was saying…and I guess she could be right….I don’t know why I’m believing her…but it’s just. Matt. You didn’t like me before the accident. How come you suddenly decided to act like you like me now?”
“What are you talking about? Nikki, I liked you for the longest time. For the last 10 years, to you, we were just friends, but you were different to me and I had to suffer knowing that you were only my friend. That day, the day we went back to school, and you told me you liked me. It was probably the happiest day of my life. I liked you forever Nikki and I’ve always wanted to make you mine. And I didn’t know we had the same feelings for each other or else I wouldv’e told you how much I liked you before. Nikki, please don’t listen to Rory. I really like you Nikki. Like a lot. Actually, I don’t just like you Nikki, I love you.” I look at her eyes. She had stopped crying. She had a cute grin on her face and she set her head onto my chest.
“I’m sorry. I believe you. And I love you too.” I smiled and ran my fingers through her hair.
“Let’s just forget that happened, and let’s have some fun, why don’t we?”
“Okay!” Nikki looks at me and smiles. I get up and she does the same. She runs past me into the waves and I chase her. We smash into the waves and splash around for an hour or two.
“Alright, I’m done. I’m just gonna go and tan. I kinda didn’t get to finish the first time I tried.” Nikki starts her way outta the water, and I follow her back onto the beach. After getting new smoothies, tanning, and a bit more playing in the water, we drive back home. She comes over and we play Halo for a bit. This was a perfect day.
And I spent it with the most beautiful girl that has ever set foot on this planet.
