UNBREAKABLE
Chapter 12
Nikki's P.O.V.
My alarm went off and I rolled over moaning and smacking the table until I found the snooze button. I was just about to fall back asleep when I realized something, it was Monday. I was going to see Matt today for the first time since the kiss, I was going to find out if anything really had changed between us. I bolted upright and quickly jumped out of bed no longer tired. I looked at my clock and realized that instead of hitting snooze and going back to bed like I usually did I had actually saved myself a lot of time to get ready. Stretching out silently I made my way over to my closet to pick out something to wear. I figured it wasn’t going to be too cold today considering it was May and settled on a pair of dark rolled up jean capris a navy blue tank top and a cream colored lace shirt. I walked over to my bathroom and applied a light coat of makeup while deciding to leave my long auburn hair in its natural waves. I didn’t really feel like dressing up or trying too hard to look good today.
It was 7 o’clock and I was waiting in my living room trying to decide if I should drive myself to school today or if I should wait and see if Matt was actually going to show up. I didn’t want to avoid him because I knew that his first thought would be that I was mad at him for the kiss or that I hated him but at the same time I really wasn’t looking forward to getting in a car with him. I knew we were going to have to talk about ‘the kiss’ sooner or later but I was really hoping to prolong it as much as I could considering the fact that I wasn’t even exactly sure how I felt about it yet. I was still trying to figure out if I should wait for Matt or just leave when I heard a horn beep outside on my driveway, I guess my mind was made up for me then and I wasn’t exactly sure if I was happy or not.
Matt’s P.O.V.
I drummed my fingers against the steering wheel waiting anxiously for Nikki to come out but dreading it at the same time. I can’t say I was exactly thrilled to see her after she basically broke my heart Friday night. I mean I knew she only thought of me as a friend but I guess deep down I had always thought that there was a possibility that…. Ugh never mind, it was never going to happen, she said so herself when she said she didn’t like our kiss.
Over the weekend I decided that I was going to get rid of all of my feelings for Nikki. I would tell her that I didn’t stop the kiss because everyone was yelling at us to make it longer and that it meant nothing, that it was just part of the game. I had never lied to Nikki before and I knew it was going to be difficult but I needed her to believe me, I needed things to go back to normal, I needed to keep her as a friend.
I had never forgotten the promise we had made each other 10 years ago. We had promised to always be friends and even though it had seemed silly at the time we had made it an unbreakable pinky promise, and if you couldn’t figure it out by the name you couldn’t break an unbreakable pinky promise. I was serious about it then and I was serious about it now, me and Nikki would always be friends and I would do everything I could to make sure of that and right now the only option was to give up my feelings for her so that is exactly what I was going to do. I was going to give up.
I knew it was going to be hard and that I couldn’t just suddenly drop all my feelings for Nikki liked I hoped, but I had a plan. I would find another girl, someone who was nothing like Nikki, someone who could distract me, someone who could help me get through this… this heartbreak? I know that it’s a horrible thing to do and normally doing something like it would never cross my mind but I needed to make sure I didn’t lose Nikki as a friend because of my stupid mistake and desperate times call for desperate measures right? Honestly if I could do anything else to keep her as a friend I would, but I had been through the scenarios in my head multiple times and nothing else worked out. I sighed as I thought of possibly getting her to fall in love with me too but I quickly shook the thought out of my head. I wasn’t stupid, it was never going to happen and I wasn’t the type to fight a useless battle.
