Meeting you again; 8

It was quiet for a moment. Selena didn't know where to start telling her story. She didn't want him to feel sorry for her. What she needed was someone who could help her out of the pain she was going through.
"Let's go for a walk, shall we?" Nick suggested, and Selena nodded slightly. He always knew what to say, that was the special thing about Nick Jonas, she remembered that about him, and it seemed like it was still there.
After driving Selena home so she could drop off her stuff, they walked to the nearby park. The wind made the spring morning a bit chilly, and maybe that was why there were not a lot of people there. The only sounds were the birds singing and dull sounds of children laughing at the playground. Selena glanced over at Nick, and couldn't help but notice how handsome he really was. His dark brown hair seemed even browner in the sunlight, and the way he walked so casually, yet perfectly, one hand in the pocket of his dark jeans.

Without thinking about it her fingers met with the golden heart, hanging in the thin golden chain around her neck. And she was once again reminded of the horrible thing that had happened.

"David," Selena started and tried to get rid of the lump growing in her throat. "... he got drafted..." her voice was weak as she let out a short breath. "to go to war..."

Nick's legs suddenly stopped moving. So that was what had caused her the pain, shining through her blank eyes. Selena who had just noticed that Nick wasn't walking beside her anymore turned around. The wind swept her hair back, making her face more visible. She had that sad, tired look in her eyes again.
"Im sorry," said Nick, not knowing what to say to make her feel better. Instead of talking he pulled her in to a hug. The sweet, scent of Selena's perfume reached Nick's nose, and he breathed in slowly while closing his eyes.
"I'm scared. What if he'll never come back?" The brunette, who was sobbing now, leaving teardrops on Nick's shoulder, pulled back for a bit. Selena wiped her tears away, and stroked the bangs out of her face. "Sorry, I'm a mess..." she mumbled, looking down.
"I was never a good speaker, as you might remember," Nick stated, trying to get eye contact with the girl who was still staring down at the pavement. " I don't want to lie to you by saying everything will be alright and that he will come back..." his voice faded. "Cause I don't know if he will... But I do know that if you just give yourself time to be sad, then you will be okay."

Selena's chocolate colored eyes wandered up to meet his. She gave him a weak smile, her cheeks stiff by her now dried tears. He could say that he wasn't a good speaker, but he was honest, and a great listener. And that was what she had always loved him for.
"We are just talking about me... I feel so selfish. How have you been?" Selena changed the subject. When his lips twitched at the question, like they always did when he got nervous or sad, she understood that his life maybe wasn't as perfect as she had thought when she had visited his home. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, sure it's all good," he answered, giving her a short nod.

Anyone could tell that he wasn't telling the truth, but Selena let it go. Maybe it was too soon. He wasn't the type of person who opened up and talked about feeling that easily, so she would just have to wait.

"By the way, maybe we should get going... It's getting cold and I think it's going to start raining any minute"


Selena had not even noticed how cold it was until he had pointed it out. She was shivering in her jacket, but suddenly felt warm again when Nick put his arm around her.
When they had reached Selena's apartment, their small talk faded into a silence. She opened the door, and then turned to Nick.
Standing there in the doorway, knowing that it was time to say goodbye, the feeling of loneliness washed over Selena again. She didn't want him to go. The pain she had felt the other night was something she never wanted to through ever again. And with Nick she felt safe, protected.

"Wanna come inside for a bit?"
