Chapter 7

-:|:- Laura’s POV -:|:-

“Ugh! I hate math!” I told Elizabeth after walking out of my 4th period class, on the way to lunch.

“Aaron loves math…” she whispered back.

“Liz, you gotta get over it, what happened to the happy girl I used to know?”

“She left with Aaron…” she said before turning away to rummage through her locker.

“Well, get her back. Other wise I’ll have to kill you.”

“Go ahead, if I cant have Aaron, I’d rather be dead.”

“Don’t say that! Now come on.” I said pulling her to the cafeteria and over to our lunch table. Because of the sucky lunch aids, we were limited to having 7 people at our table. So there was Elizabeth, Mel, Amanda, G, Kelley, Sarah, Andria, and I. We did our usual lunch swap, and began to eat and talk. But that was soon interrupted when Mel bite into her, well really my sandwich. We all erupted into fits of laughter. Mel was sitting there with a tampon hanging out of her mouth.

“Pay back’s a bitch.” I said lightly refiguring to the prank she had pulled on me the week before that caused my hair to be streaked blue for 3 days. Not that I minded, I really liked the blue, but she knew she’d get it back twice as bad. Then, to top it all worse, her latest crush, Brad, walked by.

“Um Mel, excuse me if I’m wrong, but last time I checked, that goes in the other end.” He pointed out.

“You got to excuse her, she’s given so many blow jobs, she sometimes forgets,” I told him, making the others only laugh harder. Well, everyone but Elizabeth, she still hadn’t smiled yet. But that would soon all change, AARON TO THE RESCUE!

Weeks had passed and Elizabeth was just sinking deeper and deeper into depression. I made sure someone was with her at all times, so that she didn’t do anything drastic like killing her self. It was almost Valentine’s Day, and Nick and I had finally gotten together. The phone is your friend!! But I haven’t seen him since before Christmas. That’s ok; cause it would all change soon.

~February 9th~

Tonight was the school Valentine’s Day dance, and I couldn’t wait. We had just gotten home from school, and I had to go get Elizabeth together and over my house. After about an hour of whining and complaining I had gotten her over my house. We had to eat dinner quickly then get ready. We ordered pizza, and with the help of my siblings, it was gone in 5 minutes. We had 2 hours to get ready, which was perfect. It would take an hour for me to get ready, and an hour if not more for her. She would have to look perfect for tonight.

We were soon ready to leave. I had on a red dress that came up a little past my knee and red high heels (kinda like the dress Rachel Leigh Cook wears in She’s All That). My hair was up with a few lose curls hanging down. Elizabeth had on a short black dress with a red hart on the chest and black high heels. Half her hair was pulled back with a sequin clip holding it up. She looked gorgeous.

We soon arrived at school and walked into the auditorium, which was decorated for Valentine’s Day, and had the DJ blasting music through out it. We met up with our friends, and began to dance. I think I saw Elizabeth almost smile for the first time. At least she seemed to be enjoying herself a little. The dance was half way over and suddenly the music stopped. I knew it was time. The DJ announced he had something special for everyone and stated the music to. Next thing I knew, Aaron was walking off the stage and towards Elizabeth singing Savage Garden’s ‘I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You’. I saw the tears shine in her eyes. It was the first time I saw her smile since he last left. They began to dance to the music as he sang. It was a beautiful sight. Then I felt two strong arms wrap around me, then a high-pitched screech. I knew exactly who it was. My boy was right behind me.

“Hey sweetie,” I said looking up and kissing him. “Aren’t those two cute?” I asked nodding towards Aaron and Elizabeth who still hadn’t let go of each other although the song was long over.

“Adorable. Wanna dance babe?”

“Sure, let’s go.” I said as another slow song began.

“Nicky?”

“Yeah,”

“Would you do what Aaron did for me?”

“I’d walk off the end of the earth for you.

“Really?”

“Anything for my girl,” That was the last thing said as we kept dancing. I was content with him just holding me. It was the greatest feeling in the world knowing that there was someone there for me. But like always, we were soon interrupted when I was tapped on my shoulder. I spun around and was greeted with the faces of the 3 biggest bitches and sluts in the school, Kim, Kim, and Dana.

“What the hell are you doing here with him? How much did she pay you? Trying to show off being little miss big shot?” the first Kim stated. I saw Nick was about to say something, but stopped him with my own words.

“What? A guy isn’t allowed to come visit his girlfriend? Oh wait, I’m sorry! You wouldn’t know, none of you have stayed with a guy long enough to know if that would happen, or what love is. So why don’t you all bend down, stick you head between you legs, and kiss your own ass, then go fuck you latest boyfriend if I even dare to call him that.” I said turning around and planting a big kiss right on Nick’s lips, then turning around to find 3 speechless girls.. “Learn that you’re not the best and will never is anything but a bunch of sluts. Bye bye now!” with that, the three turned around and walked out of the room, too stunned to say anything back. I was then greeted with everyone clapping and cheering for me. I was the first to ever diss out those three, and I was damn proud of it. “Nicky?” I said holding my hand out.

“My lady,” he said accepting it. Then we went back to dancing, and everyone soon calmed down and joined us.

Elizabeth and Aaron were happy together, just sitting on the bleachers talking. They were too cute together. “Nickers, hold on. I’m gonna go try and find some of my friends. Go talk to the two lovebirds. Ok?”

“Can I have a kiss first?”

“You really think I’d let you off with out one?” he began to think, but I just said screw it, and kissed him. After returning the kiss, Nick went over to Elizabeth and Aaron and I went to find some of my friends amongst the chaos, also known as my grade.

“MANDY!” I screamed over the music to my best friend besides Elizabeth.

“Must you call me that?”

“Mmm… yeah.”

“Ugh! Fine! Have it your way!”

“Don’t I always? Anyways, what’s up?”

“Shouldn’t I be asking you the same thing? Now spill.”

“Come over tomorrow and stay the night, I’ll tell you the whole story then.”

“Ok, I’m gonna go find my baby Andrew, go find lover boy and have fun!”

“Ciao!” I then turned around to find where Aaron went and was greeted with a site I never wanted to see. I saw Nick kissing the one person I hated the most, even more than the Kim’s and Dana, Katie. I gasp and then ran past him and out the gym doors.

I just kept on running, never stopping till I collapsed and began to cry hysterically. I had ended up in the back of the school on top of the hill smack in the middle of the soccer field, the farthest place from the school besides the forests. I could handle it. The one person I love making out with my worst enemy. I soon felt two pairs of arms wrap around me. I knew exactly who they were, Elizabeth and Aaron. I just fell into their arms and allowed them to hold me.

~ Elizabeth’s POV ~

It was my Bat Mitzvah. I was a nervous wreck, my father’s side of the family wasn’t here and they were the most important people there. I looked over at my friends they looked at me with sympathy in their eyes. Laura the most of all knew what I was going through. Missing my Sexy Boy and the pressure of this event.

I felt really bad for Laura she had seen Nick kissing Katie Kazi. Katie was the biggest slut in school and was head cheerleader. When Laura sobbed the whole story to me I left her with Aaron and went to find the man that stole Laura’s heart when I found them, I literally pulled Nick off of Katie. Once he was on the ground, I stood in front of Katie. My eyes burned in anger, toward Katie and toward Nick. “What the…” they both started to say, “Both of you can it. Katie I know you’re the most popular girl in school, I know that I’m not. I also know that you are a cruel and mean hearted person. How dare you kiss Nick, you already have a ‘boyfriend’ the captain of the football team, the one that gets B’s but only because he is on the team, not because he works for it,” with that I slapped her as hard as I could and I turned to Nick. “Now you,” I grinned devilish “How dare you, play with my best friend’s heart. She has to be the sweetest person on this Earth. She made sure I didn’t become too depressed and kill myself when we left you guys. She was the one who made me get ready for this. She didn’t have to, but she did. You toyed with her heart, and I will hold it against you, and I hold grudges,” with that I kicked him where it hurt and stomped off to the gym. I rounded up ‘the group’ and lead them to the soccer field. When I got there I found Aaron holding Laura while she still cried on his shoulder. I took her from him and asked if he could take the boys and tell them away from this. When Aaron found out what he did he kissed me and told me he would do everything he could to make Nick’s life miserable.

I was lost in thought so I didn’t hear my father’s side come in, what I felt was a warm body against mine. I looked down to see my youngest cousin Jake. I picked him up and went over to my aunt. It was right in the middle of the service when six people came in. Two were tall, three were medium height and one was short, well a little taller than I was. When they took off their coats and hats I recognized who they were, I smiled at Aaron and glared at Nick, he recoiled from it. When it was time to say the prayer over the bread my two younger cousins came up. When that was all done everyone came up to congratulate me. I picked up Jake and walked over to Aaron. Jake’s eyes lit up,

“It’s Aaron Carter!” he said in awe of his favorite singer. I smiled at him and introduced the both of them. Just then, my older cousin, Andrew came up and threw his Arm around my shoulder.

“Hey who is this preppy?” he asked in his California/Mexican accent. I looked at Aaron and saw jealousy in his eyes.

“Drew, go away and take our darling little cousin with you,” I handed him Jake and pulled Aaron away from him.

“Sorry about that, Drew is my older cousin, my annoying older cousin,” I stressed annoying. We walked to the backrooms slowly savoring the time we had together, because as soon as I showed my face, I would get bombarded with “You did great!” and other comments like that. After along line of those comments Laura came up, her eyes were a little puffy and red, she had been crying. She asked Aaron about Nick and how he was doing. Aaron said that Nick was not getting enough sleep and getting all depressed. I vowed from that moment on, I was going to get them back together, even if it killed me.

~Laura’s POV~

I don’t know why I was so surprised at what happened between Nick and Katie. She always steals my boyfriends. Since kindergarten when I kissed Billy on the check, she immediately had to go take him away. I guess I just thought Nick was different. Why? Who knows? All men are the same… pigs.

Seeing all the guys at Elizabeth’s Bat Mitzvah really hurt. Especially seeing Nick. He was the last person I wanted to see that day. My eyes had become all red and puffy cause all I would do was cry. But I couldn’t help but stare at him. He too looked miserable, but it was his entire fault we were like this. He had to go and kiss that slut. Yet, he looked angelic at the same time. His golden blonde hair falling in his eyes, obviously not combed. That didn’t matter to me though. He still was perfect. But none of that mattered anymore. He cheated on me and that was it, something unforgivable. And I thought he was the one… guess I should never pay attention to my thoughts anymore. All I wanted to do right then was what I did do, run out of the room crying. I didn’t care who saw me like that. I couldn’t stand looking at him anymore. I ran into one of the backrooms collapsing in tears. I soon felt someone rubbing my back. I turned around and fell into the arms of that person who happened to be AJ. The two of us had become really close over the past few weeks, and I was grateful for him. He was the only one that I had allowed to come near me besides Elizabeth since the dance. The only one who was allowed to hold me. Why did Nick have to be such and dick? How come he couldn’t be like his brother? And I always thought the Nick was the smarter one. Looks like I was wrong… again.

I flipped on the radio to Z100, and fell back on my bed with thought of Nick circling through my head, off in my own little world. Until I heard Billy Hammond, the DJ, say something. “Ok guys, I usually don’t do this, but we have a really special dedication going out. Ok, this is via e-mail. Let’s see what it says. Ok, here it goes. “Billy, my bud, my pal, mi amigo! Please please please play Phil Collins’ ‘Something Happened On The Way To Heaven’ for my baby girl. Laura, I’m so sorry. I love you, and hope you hear this. Baby, please forgive me… I’m lost with out you. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me and take me back. Love ya baby. Nicky” well Laura, you gonna take him back? Anyways, here’s your song.”

We had a life, we had a love

But you don't know what you've got ‘til

And I believe it

But taking what I've got

Or being here with you, you know

I just collapsed into another fit of tears. I loved him, and needed him back in my life. No matter what, I couldn’t live without him.
