Twisted Chances

8. Nia

I could not sleep a wink yesterday, even after hugging Mr.Teddy.

Last night's events kept replaying in my mind.

I must have hurt Niko very badly yesterday.

Even though he had kept a stoic face, I could sense him trying to keep himself from crying. To not make me feel awkward.

Maybe, seeing him cry might have changed my heart.

I might have accepted his love for me.

And maybe that's why he kept himself from crying.

Honestly, I could not stand him getting hurt because of me.

He has been in love with me for eleven years?!

So, all this time his care for me was because he was in love with me?

I should have noticed it sooner.

Now, because of me, he is sad. He is heartbroken.

I feel so guilty.

But I cannot start a relationship just yet.

If his love for me also turns him into a psychopath?

No, no, no, no, no...

Niko is not like others.

Then why could I not give him a chance?

It's not like Henry will come back...

He is in jail.

He is in custody.

So, why can't I just date someone else?!

Ugh, I can't take all this tension anymore...

And also I am not feeling like going out today.

I opened my phone to scroll through my Instagram.

As I was looking through everybody's posts I saw Brittany's.

Her post contained pictures of a restaurant, then her table, and all that aesthetic stuff people do to click pictures.

But the last picture shocked me.

It was a selfie of Brittany and Niko?!

Then I looked at the caption and it shocked me even more.

'First date in New York...❤️✨'

The fuck?!

Wasn't it just yesterday Niko confessed his love to me?!

Now he is on a date the next day itself?!

And that too with one of my friends in Britain!

And why is this triggering me?

Sudden anger built up within me. And I started to listen to my heart and not my brain.

So, I got dressed and stormed out of the house alarming my parents.

"Where are you going caterpillar?" Dad asked with confusion as just this morning I had told him to not wake me up throughout the day.

"Out to the library", I lied.

But who cares, right now I could only think about Niko and Brittany.

I took Dad's car to reach my destination.

Why am I so angry in the first place?

But that did not matter right now since all I could think about was invading their date.
