It’s Over

Jerrica finally managed to drag herself out of her office before they started to look for her. She had cried in there for at least a half hour and they needed to get back to the shoot. She slowly made her way down the long corridor to where the boys were; she prayed that the tiny blond wasn’t still there. She reached the room they were in and saw the blond still there sitting in Nick’s lap with her tongue down his throat. Jerrica didn’t know if she wanted to throw up, scream at him and then tell her what he did or just go back to her crying.

‘God I’m so pathetic.’ She thought to herself as she stood there staring at the scene ten feet away from her.

"Ok guys let’s get back to work." She finally said after composing herself.

Nick got up quickly and looked at Jerrica who was giving him a dirty look. He looked down as Shanna made her way to the side of room and Jerrica got back to work.

The shoot was finally over and all the guys including Nick left. Jerrica’s heart broke to see him with her. He had acted so different like he didn’t even want to be with his girlfriend anymore, like he wanted to be with her. Jerrica sighed deeply as she gathered her things and left.

Later that night Jerrica was eating more pizza that they ordered, because she didn’t feel like cooking, and watched an old sappy love story on TV.

"God I’m so pathetic. I can’t have feelings for him I’ve known him not even a week." She said to herself.

On Jerrica’s way to work the next day she couldn’t control her urge to cry, she hated the fact that she was crying because this was the last day of the shoot and that this would more than likely be the last day she saw Nick.

"No no no no no no." Jerrica said out loud to herself as she pulled up her work.

"He’s a jerk. I hate him. He has a girl. Just a fling." She said out loud as she made her way to the doors until someone stopped in front of her. She looked up and found a pair of gorgeous blue eyes staring at her.

"I’m a jerk?" Nick asked and pouted.

Jerrica rolled her eyes and moved passed him then he stepped in her way again.

"You hate me? Really?" He asked sweetly with a huge smile.

Jerrica looked down and held her tears back.

"Are you going to answer me?"

Jerrica shook her head no.

"Why not?"

"Because if I say anything I’m going to cry so if you’ll excuse me I’m going."

"Why would you cry?" He asked staring at her still.

"Because."

"Why?"

"Just because ok."

"No there has to be a reason."

"Because of you."

Nick looked at her in shock and asked, "Why me?"

"I should ask you the same question."

"I’m confused."

"Why me? Why did you pick me? You could have played with any other girl’s emotions but you picked mine. And I should have fucking knew better than to give in but it-. No I’m going." She replied as she pushed him out of the way and walked into the building.

"God why is this so hard. I want Shanna I love Shanna. Jerrica was a fling, nothing more." Nick said as he walked into the building.

"A.J I think I like her and now she doesn’t like me."

"Nick, what the hell are you talking about?"

"Jerrica."

A.J rolled his eyes.

"I don’t even know now if I really want to get married."

"What?"

"Well I wasn’t that sure in the first place but then I met Jerrica and it was I can’t even explain. But I can’t do anything now she hates me."

"Do you love her?"

"Her who?"

"Shanna?"

"Yeah."

"You don’t sound so sure."

Nick just looked down.

"We’re going to play a game."

"What?"

"I’m going to ask you a question and you’re going to say the first thing that comes to mind ok. You can’t think about it."

Nick looked at A.J like he was crazy and then nodded.

"Ok who is cooler me or Brian?"

"You."

"Alright. How many girls have you really slept with?"

"25."

"Who do you love Shanna or Jerrica?"

"Jerrica."

A.J looked at Nick shocked.

"I mean Shanna."

"Nope you said Jerrica. The first thing out of your mouth always is what you really mean."

"Damn. But I’m going to marry Shanna."

"Whatever dude."

"I love Shanna."

"Yeah ok." A.J said as he walked off.

"I do." Nick said.

‘I do.’ He thought to himself as Jerrica started to talk.

The shoot was over. Jerrica sat in her office thinking about nothing in particular as she stared out her window holding back her tears. She didn’t even notice Nick standing in the doorway until he cleared his throat causing her to jump.

"Yes, Mr. Carter?" Jerrica asked looking at him.

"I just wanted to say I’m sorry Jerrica and I hope I see you around and we can at least be friends."

Jerrica rolled her eyes in reply and went back to staring out the window. How could she be friends with him? She was in love with him. How could she be in love with him? She was so stupid to have fallen for him. What was wrong with her?
