Nothing Like Us (L.H.)

Chapter 32

"I hope you sort it all out later, Syd." Melissa said.

Andy nodded. "Not to pressure you or anything, but if you don't feel like ending it-- like fully ending it-- please don't. You know why."

I smiled. "Thanks, guys."

But I didn't end it because I want to. I ended it because I had to. I couldn't bear to be with Luke and remember what he did. It's still painful to think of it. So I think I'll stand by my decision. I just want to talk to clear things and maybe, just maybe, forgive him.

And with that, we headed to the school for another day of classes. God. I can't wait to graduate.

.

During my last class, I texted Nick to let him know about the changes in our meeting schedule. I was at one of those large lecture halls with loads of students, so Professor Browne probably doesn't care what anyone was doing.

Me: Hey, are you available at 2:30??

Nick: Why? Can't have a stranger lingering in your flat at night? Hahahaha

Me: Noooo. Luke and I are supposed to meet at 6. It's his only free day.

Nick: Ohh. It's good that he agreed.
Nick: I guess I could make it at 3. Text me your adress.

Me: Of course he did. Hahaha
Me: Yayyyyy. Thank you Nick.
Me: *insert adress*
Me: Bring the movie.

Nick: I will.
Nick: See you. ;)

Me: See yah. :)

I turned my phone off and tried to concentrate at the lecture going on. But the possibilities of what may happen between Luke and I later are just too much. They won't leave me alone.

Bad thing is... I'm fine with it.

.

I came home at about 2:45. My flat wasn't that messy. Everything looks fine, so I didn't have to do anything anymore. I threw myself at the couch and fiddled with my phone.

At about 3:30, Nick arrived.

"Oh thank God." He said, as I opened the door. "I was pretty sure I'm gonna end up in the wrong door."

"Well, you got the right one. And you're late." I grinned, letting him inside. I told him to take a seat and he did at once. He refused everything I offered him except for popcorn.

"My workmate arrived late." He said.

When I asked what he picked for today, he waved the DVD in his hands.

"Blended?!" I laughed. "I've seen that movie!"

Nick scoffed. "So have I!"

I frowned at him.

"What? It's the only good thing available. Besides, it's funny." He said.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Okay, fine." I took the DVD from him and put it in my laptop.

"No DVD player? Okay." Nick grinned.

I asked Nick to set up the movie so I could make the popcorn. I gave him the laptop and the speakers.

"You sure you don't want anything?" I asked as I went to the kitchen.

"I'll have whatever you have." He said. After a while, Nick walked over to the kitchen, "Hey, Sydny?"

"Yeah? You done setting up?"

He nodded. "Do you mind if I look around?"

"Yeah, sure." I smiled. "My room's over there. There's a balcony inside, just opposite the one on the living room.
