Complicated

Chapter 9

Once we pull up to the restaurant I climb out of the car. Carrying my phone and wallet, I head inside with Alex and Harry beside me.

"How do I know who the person is?" I ask Alex, scanning the room for a familiar face.

"We'll find a table together, if they're here then they will notice you and come over." Harry suggests. Since I have no other choice, I sit down with them at a booth in the corner of the dimly lit restaurant. As soon as Harry and Alex start talking, I feel like the third wheel. I've tried to join the conversation a few times, but it becomes really awkward when I do.

After a few minutes of listening to there conversation, I decide that I needed to use the bathroom. I tell Alex where I'm going and slide off of the smooth cushion of the booth.

Once I am done in the bathroom I start to head back to the table. About halfway there, I decide not to. Alex and Harry are supposed to be on a date right now, if I go back and sit with them I might ruin their moment. 'Their so cute together' I think, watching them talk as I turn to go sit at another table.

I check the time on my phone to find that we had been here for fifteen minutes already. And I still haven't seen any sign of this "secret admirer". I knew it, he baled. Since I was already there I decided to order some food, I was getting a bit hungry.

I called for a waitress and ordered some spaghetti. Once she returned with the plate I dug in. Since there was no one with me that I had to impress, I didn't bother worrying about how I looked. All I cared about was that the food was getting in my mouth and down my throat.

Suddenly a voice came from right behind me. "Nikki?"

I quickly wiped my mouth with a napkin and turned around to see who it was. I immediately regret turning around when I see who it is. "What are you doing here?" I asked, glaring at him.

"I'm surprised you showed up." Jason smirks, walking around the table to sit down in front of me.

"You sent the letter?" I ask in disbelief. "Why?"

"Because I love you Nikki. I always have." He says in a serious tone. I feel my cheeks start to blush as I stare at him in shock. The corners of his lips slowly curl up into a menacing grin. Of course he was lying, why wouldn't he be.

"Why are you REALLY here?" I ask him.

"Oh, I just thought I'd pay my STALKER a visit."

"You know that's not true."

"But no one else does. And by the time schools back in, everyone will be talking about Nikki. The stalker girl who is obsessed with me." Jason explains, his voice raising at each sentence. He slowly slinks out of his chair, standing beside the table. Before I can figure out what's happening he pours a glass of water over my head.

"Oops, I must have tripped." He apologizes sarcastically, looking me straight in the eye.

I rush to the bathroom and grab some sheets of paper towel off the roll. After a few minutes of rubbing it through my hair, I check to see how wet it is. It's doesn't completely dry me, but it'll have to do.

I step out of the bathroom, prepared to dash outside, until I see Jason. He's standing there with his arms crossed, chuckling. Right now running is exactly what he would want me to do. So I'm going to do the opposite. I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do, but I was going to do it.

****Jason's POV:****

I stood there watching Nikki, her hair was still damp. I knew that look in her eyes, she was going to run away. Typical Nikki, running away from her problems. But this time running won't help.

I was shocked to see that she had stopped walking and was now staring me down. She smiled at me and walked over to the DJ in the corner of the room by the stage. After talking to him for a few minutes, I watched her step up into the stage.

'What the hell is she doing?' I wondered . Suddenly the music shut off, Nikki grabbed the microphone and started to talk into it.

"Hey everyone." She said, raising the microphone stand to match her height. "Are you guys having a good night so far?" A crowd of confused responses answered her question.

"Well, I'm going to sing a song for you guys tonight. I dedicate it to the biggest jerk I've ever known. This guy here, Jason." She says confidently through the microphone, pointing her index finger at me. 'Oh shit.' I thought to myself. 'This isn't gonna be good.'

I sat down as people started to turn their heads towards me. "The song I'm going to sing tonight is called "U + Ur Hand" by P!nk." The music started up and she stepped closer to the microphone.

"Check it out, going out, on the late night

Looking tight, feeling nice, it's a cock fight

I can tell, I just know that it's going down

Tonight," She sang into the microphone staring out into the restaurant at the people in front of her. She may be singing this song about me, but I can't deny that she is one good singer.

"At the door we don't wait cause we know them

At the bar six shots just beginning

That's when dick head put his hands on me

But you see." The music grew louder as I watched Nikki pull the microphone out of the stand and take a step back. She stared right at me as her voice grew louder.

"I'm not here for your entertainment

You don't really want to mess with me tonight

Just stop and take a second

I was fine before you walked into my life," Each line she sang annoyed me even more.

"Cause you know it's over," More and more people started to stare at me. Soon three high school guys walked up to me. "Before it begins."

As Nikki continued to sing, the highs schoolers grew closer, towering over me. "Were you picking on that girl up there?" The first one asks me.

"Listen, it's not what it looks like-" I start to say before the second one cuts me off.

"Sure it's not."

****Nikki's POV:****

"Keep your drink and give me the money, it's just you and your hand tonight." I sang out to the crowd. Glancing at Jason, I see three teenage guys surrounding him. 'It looks like they are teaching him a lesson.' I think to myself. 'That's what you get when you mess with Nikki Bared.'

I look back over at the people dancing in front of me. Alex and Harry are dancing at the front of the stage cheering me on. I grab Alex's hand and pull him up onto the stage.

Together we sing the rest of the song, smiling out into the crowd. Alex has always been a showbiz guy, ever since he was young. He was born for the stage, not to mention he's an amazing singer.

I watch Jason get dragged out of the restaurant by the three guys. This is going to be a great story to tell my friends, and his friends, and everyone else!
