I slowly walked into the living room not knowing what was around or what I had done earlier today. I realized what I had done was completely wrong, but I also didn’t mean to as well. I thought I would never do this to anyone, but I ended up doing it anyway. I walked to the couch and saw the picture of my boyfriend and me. His name was Nick. I love him with all my heart. But I screwed it up by cheating on him with his best friend Brian. What an ass am I? I should've never done it. Dammit! But then why in the hell did I? I picked up the phone and tried calling… no answer. I hung up the phone and called Brian's to see if maybe Nick talked to him about the situation, but knowing Nick and his temper it probably didn't go well. I dialed Brian's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Brian it's me Melanie. Have you talked to Nick?" I asked. I was praying that he talked to him.
"Yea.. I did. He's not happy Mel. I don’t think there's any chance of y'all getting back together." he said.
"When did you last talk to him?"
"Oh.. I'd say about an hour ago. Why? has he come home yet?" he asked. Oh gosh! I want Nick to be here now..and not anywhere.. just here. This would be defiantly one thing I would take back. Why did I sleep with Brian? I don’t want me and Nick's relationship to end.. it was going so well dammit!
"No.. I didn’t even know he was coming home." I hope nothing went wrong on the way coming back from Brian's.
"Now Melanie don’t be going worry wort on me. Nick will be here to talk to you. I promise." Oh I was hoping Nick would be here to talk. I really wanted to talk to him about what had gone on.
"Brian I hope you're right. What happens if we break up and I never see him again?" I started to whine.
"Oh Mel. You'll see him again. You may not be together, but you'll still see him." he said.
"But I just don’t wanna see him Rok. I wanna be with him ya know forever?"
"You'll just have to see what happens Mel. He didn’t sound too happy when he was here." he explained.
"Well I figured that. I am just hoping he gets here soon." I whined again.
"Please quit your whining. I hear enough of that with Nick." Brian laughed.
"Haha anyway well I gotta go okay? I'll talk to ya later."
"Okay bye bye." I hung up the phone. I sat there and waited for another 10 minutes and I heard a car finally pull up into the driveway. Nick was finally home. I watched him walk up to the sidewalk. He didn't look mad, but then again with Nick you never can tell. The door opened.
"Melanie! We need to talk." I didn’t think this could be any good.
"I'm right here Nick!" I yelled back. He started walking up the steps and he stopped right in front of me.
"I had a talk with Brian." he said.
"I know. I called Brian to see where you were." I was afraid to even tell him that.
"OH so you're already planning your second 'trip' I see."
"No.. I was not. Nick I swear we didn’t mean anything like that to happen." I said.
"OH sure. You probably couldn’t wait to get over to his house." I couldn’t believe I would think of sleeping with Brian again. I just felt bad I even did it in the first place. "
No I wasn’t. Nick we honestly didn’t mean for this to happen."
"You might as well just stop it with the lies, because there is really no chance of us getting back together." Brian was right.
"You're just going to throw our two year relationship away for one stupid mistake?" I was just furious. I was hoping Nick would at least come to a different conclusion than breaking up.
"I am not the one who slept with my best friend. I just can't believe you would hurt me." He walked off into the bedroom. I followed.
"Jeez Nick. I didn’t mean to okay. How many times do I have to tell you that? Gosh I didn’t think you would over react like this." "
You'd probably react the same way!" he snapped.
"No…I would at least give you a chance to explain! And I wouldn’t give up a damn 2 year relationship over one mistake!" I yelled. Nick looked at me and gave me a glare that I had never seen before.
"Well there's one thing we don’t have in common. You give people second chances- I don’t." Why did I have the feeling this was the end. No more me and Nick.
"So that’s it? No second chance? Shit at least I would be willing to give one to you Nick!" I yelled.
"Nope there is nothing that can help this. You shouldn't have slept with Brian." That’s all he could say and think of. Why did I get the impression he wanted to give me another chance, but he was afraid I would just do this again.
"Fine! Leave I don’t care anymore!" But I did care. He just didn’t seem to.
"Fine! I'm leaving." Nick picked up his bag that he had been packing through our whole argument. Nick left.
"Bye Nick." I said as the door shut. Now all I had left was the memories from the past 2 years. I wish Nick would've came to his senses and taken me back. Then we would still be together.
+Nick's P.O.V.+
As I walked out the door I couldn’t help but think how stupid I was. I didn’t mean to act like that. I was just over reacting. I probably made her cry. I made her cry? How could I have been so foolish. Just an hour ago talking with Brian I was going to take her back, but when she said she talked to Brian I thought she might go out and do it again. Should I go back and apologize and give her another chance? We have been together for 2 years and now I am walking away from 1 little mistake. She said she was sorry. Maybe I should go back in there. Yea I think I will do that. I opened the door. I walked up the stairs. I heard her crying. I knew it I made her cry. I couldn’t believe I EVEN did that. A tear rolled down my cheek as I opened the door. She saw me standing there.
"Melanie I'm sorry." I said. I set my bag down and hugged her. " I was wrong. I was so wrong for even walking out. Please forgive me." I pleaded. She looked so happy.
"No.. Nick I'm sorry I shouldn't have done it." I smiled.
"I know you're sorry. Please say you forgive me."
"I forgive you Nick. I love you."
"I love you too."
"What made you change your mind?" she asked.
"I just over reacted. When you said you talked to Brian I thought you might go and cheat on me again. I didn’t wanna lose you Mel."
"I don’t wanna lose you either Nick. I was worried where you were. You get that bad temper sometimes and I don’t know what will happen to you and I get worried so I called Brian to see if you were over there." she explained. Now I felt even more stupid.
"Yea I know. Sorry for making you worry."
"Nick… it's okay. It's common. Why don’t we go out and do something!" she suggested.
"Okay that sounds good." We both got up from the bed and walked out the door. I was really happy I changed my mind. And it looks like she is happy I changed my mind too.
The End
