Sorry

Why did she tell him that? Why did she pretend we were friends in front of him? Nick continued to look at her so she began to tell again.

"Are you Jolina's cousin?" She wanted to know.

Nick shook his head in amusement. "No, I'm ... Jolie's friend." The

fact that he hesitated with this answer felt like a stab in the heart.

"Jolie? You call her Jolie? I still remember when she was called that before, she freaked out like a toddler. ”I found it funny, however, that she didn't seem to mind that Nick was my friend.

"My name is JOLINA!", She mimicked me bitchily and then laughed out loud in her voice that was way too high.

I saw Nick grin. Great. Carissa just wanted to embarrass me in front of Nick.

I looked at him. "Can we go slowly?"

He nodded, whereupon I walked around the car. Nick also moved away from Carissa, ran to the driver's door and opened it.

"Maybe we'll see you again, Nick." Carissa smiled charmingly at him. Nick winked at her and then got into the car with me.

After we left school, I realized Nick was looking at me.

But I kept staring out the side window.

"You have a great girlfriend," he said then.

I snorted. “She is not my friend! She doesn't like me. ”

Nick started to laugh. "I would have probably found out some cool things about you if we'd stayed there."

I rolled my eyes. Apparently Nick thought that was very funny.

I looked at him. Winked demonstratively at him so that he could see it.

"Certainly you would, but maybe we

'll see each other again." I winked at him again. He laughed out loud that made me smile.

Then I turned back to the window.

We were silent until we were at my door and he switched off the engine.

I unbuckled my seatbelt and tried to get out, but he held me.

"Are you still mad at me or why aren't you looking at me?"

I hesitantly turned to him. When I looked at him, he came closer to me. "Hey ... I'll make it up to you, okay?"

"Yes." I nodded.

He smiled at me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, then paused and pulled back. Because I wasn't moving, he probably thought I didn't want to. He seemed to accept that. I wanted to make him believe I was mad at him for a little longer.

He let go of me. I opened the car door.

"I'll hurry up." I saw Nick nod, closed the door and ran to the house.

I just quickly packed a few things - that I wanted to take with me - and quickly wrote a note to my parents saying that I would go to David. After ten minutes I was back in Nick's car.

The rest of the trip we talked about the weekend and how his and my week was. It felt good to talk to him normally and sensibly about everyday things again. I told him that too. Then I found out why Nick had picked me up at school and not at home. Sven had told him that the others in my class didn't believe that I was always away for the weekends because of my boyfriend. That he had come to my school because of this - so that the others could see who was picking me up - that he knew who Carissa was - as soon as she spoke to us and that was why he was so nice to her.

It should be some kind of excuse for the weekend, he told me.

I didn't answer that.

He drove me to David, which surprised me. I would have liked to come to see him. He must have noticed that from my look, because he immediately told me that we would see each other at the club tonight because he didn't have time now and unfortunately had to meet with his parents.

At first I thought he was kidding me, but judging by the look on his face, he thought it was really bad to meet his parents.

So I didn't reply and got out.

In the evening I sat in the living room with David, Sven, Noah and Jonas. Sven was amazed that Nick wasn't there. So I said he met his parents and then he would come to the club.

David sat down with us when he heard this.

"Well, that'll be another evening." He sighed.

I looked at him confused. "Why?" I asked immediately.

“He and his parents ... an eternal argument. He almost had a fight with his father once when he was on drugs and they argued. His stepmother had to threaten the police so that they both calm down. ”

Sven and I stared at him in shock.

"He only has one father left?" Sven wanted to know and David shrugged his shoulders.

“As far as I know, his parents always fought and his mother couldn't take it anymore and then at some point had a new one and moved out. Nick has no contact with her. I think he felt let down by her. I think he was 17 years old. Half a year was really unbearable with him. He's crazy. Then he started taking drugs and got back to normal. ”I looked at David in disbelief.

He went crazy and got back to normal with the drugs?

How stupid!

“Well, let's stop talking about it. If Nick finds out that we've talked about it, he'll turn the necks of all three of us. ”

Sven and I both nodded at the same time.

"You can expect that he will be in a very bad mood afterwards," David said to me. Great, that was the last thing I wanted to do.

It could only be another stupid weekend.

At half past ten they wanted Boys off to the Foundry. I knew from Jess that she would come later. She still had an appointment with Andy. So I decided to go straight to Nick instead of going to the club and pick him up.

I wanted to see how he was and how he was. I said to Sven that I would come later, if Jess came too. That seemed to be enough as an answer for him. I didn't say that I still wanted to see Nick.

I was still waiting a few minutes before I left the house.

When I got to Nick, his parents were still there and David wasn't exaggerating. I could hear from the front door that they were arguing. Even when I got to it, it wasn't better, I could hear insults even from his stepmother - if he'd finally found a decent bitch. I found it hard to hear a word like that from an adult's mouth.

It was when she insulted me that Nick really started yelling.

After a few minutes I decided to leave the three of them alone again and still go to the club.

I came to the club, which was so full again that I had to squeeze the first few meters to the seating area. The others were all already there and drinking. I immediately noticed two girls who were standing by the armchair and talking to Jonas - Nick's friend.

They looked over at me for a moment and then Jess came up to me.

"Hey, where is Nick?" She hugged me.

"His parents are still there and I left." Jess nodded and I sat down next to Sven on the sofa.

"Do you think Nick will come?" He asked me, whereupon I shrugged my shoulders.

“I was just with him. David didn't exaggerate. He and his parents are really tough. His stepmother even insulted me. ”I shook my head while Sven looked at me with wide eyes and shook his head.

"Then he will probably not come or be shitty."

I assumed! Now I hoped he wouldn't come, otherwise he would be unbearable.

David came up to me and handed me a Coke. I smiled at him, took it and took a sip. As I put them on the table, I saw the two girls looking over at me again. I pretended not to notice, but something was wrong with the blonde girl, she looked familiar. I thought about it, but couldn't remember where I knew her from. Then Jess sat down with us and I looked at her because she was mumbling to herself in annoyance.

"Are you okay?" I eyed her.

Jess nodded. "What is that stupid bitch doing here?"

I stared at her in confusion. Then she slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand. Was she going crazy now?

"Shit, you don't know her yet. The blonde standing with Jonas, that's Jenna, Nick's ex-slut. "My heart immediately started beating faster. Now I knew why she seemed familiar to me. I saw her in the photo in Nicks, or rather in her apartment. I had to hold back the urge to avoid looking at her.

"I thought she didn't live here anymore?"

Jess nodded. “She seems to be visiting.” Great.

Just as I was about to ask Jess something about her, I saw Nick pushing through two guys and coming over to us. I was a little surprised that he said "Hello" to Jonas but didn't say hello to his ex and her girlfriend. He only looked at them briefly, after which they began to smile.

Then he looked at me and Jess, came running up to us and took Jess briefly in a hug. I saw Jess whisper something to him, then break away from the hug and he came over to me.

He leaned over to me. "I'm sorry, Jolie."

I nodded, not knowing exactly what he meant now. Then he kissed my cheek. Strangely enough, he was very calm. I had expected if he came that he would be annoyed and angry - but it didn't look like it. Then David called for him. He was standing with this Jenna and Jonas.
