Sel: *puts her head to one side* Nick, here isnt really the best place... *looks at him, trying to make the whole thing less awkward * besides, the boys are on their way here, and i just bet you that Jake wants something to eat.
Nick: *Smiles at her, chuckling slightly* really? You wanna bet? Youre on, then.
Sel: *smiles at him aswell before walking around him to the boys* Hey, guys. Whos up for something to eat? Jake?!
Nick: *laughs behind her*
Jake: *looks at Nick like hes crazy before turning back to Sel* yeah sure.
Sel: *turns and gives Nick a successful smile, before walking to pick up her bag, hitting him gently on the arm with it as she passed and walked back to the boys, making their way out the school*
Nick: *watched them go for a few seconds. His life had suddenly gotten better ever since this morning, everything was going right. He sighed, happily. Something he hadnt done in a while. He jogged after them*
*that night*
Sel: night, guys. Sleep well *closes their door quietly and tiptoes down the stairs*
Nick: *walks out of the kitchen holding two glasses of water, holds one out for her* they asleep?
Sel: *stops on the last step, taking it* thanks! And nope, but getting there.
Nick: *grabs her free hand and gently pulls her into the sitting room, kicking the door closed after them with his foot*
Sel: *sighs inwardly and frees her hand to go sit on the couch*
Nick: *puts his glass down on the table in front of them* right... now were finally alone, in a quiet place with no one to disturb us, can we talk now?
Sel: *Takes a sip of her water, trying to calm herself* sure *puts her glass next to his on the table and glances at him* whats up?
Nick: *raises an eyebrow and smiles at her approach to the subject* Sel, we both know whats up. Why didnt you tell me what you were so worried about before?
Sel: Because... if you werent worried about it then... then ... i dunno, Nick. For all i know, this whole thing could ruin us.
Nick: *looks at her* Sel, were teenagers. Were barely adults. Its not that serious.
Sel: To me it is. I actually care about what friends i let into my life. I care about what decisions i make with everyone around me. Because one stupid, little promise thats broken could change everything, one way or another.
Nick: *looks away from her* Sel, its been ages since your mum... left... Im not gonna leave you and Jake the way your mum did. It wasnt fair on you and i know how you feel; i have Frankie.
Sel: *looks at him, her eyes watering* Nick, the only person i can trust not to break my heart is Jake... how am i supposed to know about you?
Nick: *looks at her face crumbling in front of him, his eyes search hers* because i couldnt bear to hurt you like that. How could i possibly do anything like that to anyone? I used to be a prat but im not anymore. You know my feelings towards you, dont you?! Youve known for ages, now. Have they changed?! Not at all... theyve only got stronger.
Sel: *she could feel her heart spin in her chest. Her stomach flipped like a little kid on a trampoline. Her mind raced faster and faster. Her throat ran dry* Nick, i...
Nick: *his face remains soft, gentle. He stared at her, his words meaningful and strong* Sel, i mean what i say. I do feel that way about you. I make it pretty obvious. Even Demi picked up the hint.
Sel: *confused* i thought you didnt talk to Demi?
Nick: the looks she was giving me over your back were good enough signs for me to tell that shed worked it out. Its not really rocket science.
Sel: *shakes her head* no, its not... but it can have the same disastrous explosions that end in nothing... *looks down and plays with her fingers*
Nick: *watching her* what if it didnt? What if everything went perfectly smoothly? What if were just perfect for each other? I know how you feel about me and why you were holding back, now. Theres nothing to stop us.
Sel: Nick, Ive always been in full responsibility... for Jakes life, not my own. If i messed anything up for him, i could always make it better somehow, Id always find a way... but this is about my life, if i mess this up, i wouldnt know how to deal with it or sort it out or speak about it or anything... how am i gonna be much use to Jake if i cant put myself in order first?
Nick: Youll always have me! Even if something DOES go wrong, which it wont, im not gonna make you suffer or pay for it using Jake. You live here, now... im not gonna go chuck you out on the streets if something happens... Sel, trust me. I know how hard youve had it with home and Jake but youve got us now, and nothing is gonna hurt you now that im here.
Sel: *looks down before glancing up at him again. She knew all he was saying was true. She knew how she felt about him. She knew how HE felt about HER. She felt herself close to tears and tried to hold them back*
