*Nicole's pov*
I was cold, much more than usual, it was strange because it wasn't winter anymore but I was cold. Most of all I felt empty, and I knew why. I had made a choice, I had done this to myself but I knew I wasn't in the wrong, I always say the same thing ' you could have die that cold December day', that's what gets me through this unpleasant feeling.
Look at me now, in university with new friends, such as Fay, Madison and Sophie. We all share a flat together, which is a good thing I guess, it means I forget about how depressed I really am because someone is always there.
Other than my emotions going mad, everything is great. We have had house parties, gone out drinking and stuff that Luke wouldn't of let me do in case I got hurt. I have no clue how Luke has coped will all of this, I haven't seen him since the day I left. I've met up with Sarah a few times but every time she brought him up I just told her not to speak of him, i don't want to be haunted by my past.
It was past midnight , the street we were walked down was dark but light by a flickering lamp post. I was linked arms with Madison and Sophie while we made our way back to the flat. Fay had went back to Robbie's (her boyfriend) which was no surprise. The smell of alcohol lingered on our breaths as we giggle and spoke utter crap as we walked down the street. All of a sudden we went crashing into someone.
"Ohh sorry I didn't seen you there " I said standing back up.
"Oh no worries I think we've all just had a bit much to drink " he babbled.
It wasn't until he stood up that I realised who he was, with the dim light from the street lights I could just make out Ashton's face.
"So what are you doing here wondering the street alone at half 2 in the morning?" I questioned him.
"I lost everyone I was with about an hour and a half ago and have been walking around looking for them but i'm lost" he said.
"Lucky you found me, just come back to our flat we can call to get a taxi for you in the morning." I explained.
"Are you sure I don't mind walking about getting even more lost" he said.
"It's fine the flats just around the corner " I answered.
The four of us, unstably, made our way back to the flat. The minute I got into my room I flopped down on my bed and fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up and went straight in for a shower, I didn't have a hang over but I was extremely tiered. After my shower I got ready and went into the living room. Ashton was still sound asleep, I shook him to wake him up.
"Ashton i'm going to work in an hour, so do you want to have something to eat maybe go in for a shower and i'll drop you back home" I whispered.
"That would be nice" he said.
I went to Fay's room and took one of Robbie's tops that he leaves here in case he stays over.
"Here take this" I said popping back into the living room.
*1 hour later*
Madison, Ashton and I were heading out into my car.
"So where are you staying?" I asked.
"Well me Calum and Michael moved into your old flat with Luke." He said.
Oh shit that meant I had to go back down that street, I had to be outside that flat, a place that I never wanted to see again. Sophie, Madison and Fay all knew about what happened with me and Luke, the minute Luke's name was mentioned Madison turned to me and raised her eyebrows, as if to say "Oh Shit".
As I drove us to the flat every memory of that place flashed back, the good and bad. Especially the phone call from Luke panicking and tell me to leave, and how I didn't know what he was on about.
I parked right out side the building, I looked up at the first floor, my old flat. Ashton got out of the car, then came round to my side and opened the door. I stood up and hugged him.
"Thank you Nicole, it was nice seeing you again, we all miss you . The state Luke is in without you is just " Ashton said, before I shook my head.
"I don't want to hear about it Ashton it's for the best I've moved on" I said.
"For him it's not the best. You still love him" he said.
At that very moment Luke came down the street smoking, he hated when people smoked, since when did he smoke. He also had a plastic bag full of different alcohol bottles.
" There you are Ashton" he said coming closer, I wasn't sure if he could see me yet.
There was a look of disbelief as he seen me.
"Nicole?" He questioned.
"Hi... Well it was nice seeing you again Ashton, I better go" I quickly said getting back into my car.
My stomach was turning, I was lost for words.
The minute I seen Luke's face the emotions came rushing back, I still love him.
