24- Regrets.

"Seriously dude, stop telling me to settle down," I rolled my eyes, "Just get out."

And then he left. With no worries at all, just like it wasn't a big deal. And from now on, I shall spend the rest of my life full of regret, knowing I slept with my boyfriends brother and probably broke his heart. Or at least will break his sensitive heart.

"Nova, it's me," I jumped once I heard what sounded like Cole holler out of my locked window.

"One sec," I quickly made my bed, throwing away any trace of me sleeping with Dylan. Then opened both my blinds and window, "Hi, what do you want?" I forced a smile.

He stepped into my room, already acting like he knew something was up, "I'm sorry about our little argument yesterday. So I want to make it up to you," His smirk was too cute for me to stand, I loved it.

"What do you mean by that?" I joked around.

"A date, a real date."

"Really?" My eyes widened, "Cole, that would be lovely."

"Really? I honest to god feel like I'm losing you. I'm such a boring person, and I want to show my affections by doing what normal boyfriends do," He giggles.

"Aw, you are a normal boyfriend," I kissed him, and ran my fingers through his hair, "What do you have in mind?"

"It's a surprise. And I know you hate surprises, that's why it's a surprise."

"Wow, thanks loser," I poked his stomach, and it turned into a complete tickle war; or whatever the hell you call it.

"Ah, I'm so lucky to have you. I'm just surprised you didn't get married during the time I was gone," He laughed, and started wondering around the room.

"Wow, you actually think I'd get married?" I rose my eyebrow.

"Well, Louis was pretty determined to have you. I guess that's one of the reasons I tried so hard."

"Come on," I grabbed his hands, "Let's not worry about that. Just take me on a date, if you want."

"I'd love to, but you have to get ready. And I have to get ready. So I'll pick you up at 1:00," He gave me one last kiss before walking back towards my window.

"What should I wear?"

"Anything. You can even dress as a stripper and I wouldn't care," He joked, and I playfully punched his arm, "Honestly, I'd like to see that."

"Maybe someday."

"See you later," He waved goodbye, and blew me a kiss before walking onto the roof and closing my window.

That was close. Well kind of. It just unsettles me that five minutes before Cole came over, Dylan was in my bed naked. Gross.

So, our first actual date? It has to be special, and I don't have the slightest idea of what to wear to such a thing. Because I've never been on a real date. There's only one person who can help me with this. My mom.

"Mom, sorry for bothering you but I need help," I walked into the kitchen, and found her staring blankly at a wall, "Mom, are you okay?"

She turned around. Her eyes full of tears, "I never imagined you to do something so cruel."

"Mom, what's wrong?" I walked closer to her, but she continued to back away.

"Tell me it's not true. You didn't cheat on Cole with his brother. You couldn't have ended up like your father," She started to hyperventilate as crazy as it sounds. And I was the cause of this.

"He needed somewhere to stay, Cole kicked him out," I looked down at my hands, full of guilt.

"You are a cheater!" She screamed, "You aren't my daughter. My daughter wouldn't do something so terrible to hurt the one she truly loves."

"I didn't. I don't know what you're talking about," And here comes my bad acting. I couldn't even look her in the eye.

"I heard you. I was so close to coming in there and slapping both of you."

"It's not happening again, I regret every moment of it," I started to cry a little bit, "Please mom. I need your help."

"Don't tell me you're pregnant. Wait, you wouldn't even know because it takes time," She growled.

"I'm going on a date with," I paused, "Cole. And I don't know what to-"

"Does he know?" She yelled, "Does he know that his one true love cheated on him. And his brother is a total douche for betraying him."

"Seriously settle down-"

"No. I remember what it feels like to be cheated on. It hits you like a truck because you realize that person doesn't love you like you thought they did."

"You don't understand, I love Cole more than anything. And I would never do it again!" I cried harder.

"But you still did it. And you can't take it back now," She shrugged, "I'm not helping you pick out an outfit. Do it yourself."

"I'm sorry momma," I held her hand, but she shoved me back.

"Don't touch me. Just go, make your own stupid, slutty decisions," Her words crushed me even harder. But I couldn't talk back, because she was right. I was hurting Cole, although he didn't know.

Ding.

The doorbell rung. I was expecting Cole to take me somewhere fancy, so I wore a long light pink dress because it looked good with my complexion, and it was just really cute.

I didn't want my mom answering the door, because she'd probably tell him straight away which is the last thing I wanted. So I made sure I was down there on time to answer the door.

The moment I opened the door and seen him. I forgot about all of the terrible deeds. I knew what we had was right, and I loved him.

"Nova," He stood speechless, as did I.

"Cole, you look so handsome," He wore a beautiful black tux, and I never seen him look better. I also had no idea he owned a tux.

"Here come outside," He took my hand and we walked, closing the door behind us, "This is where you stood when I first saw you," He looked down at the porch, "You looked up at me like I was insane, and moments later I seen you looking out of your window at me."

"That's right. I thought you where so cute, but creepy at the same time," I giggled.

He held both of my hands in front of me tightly, "I made the right decision by purposely bumping into you. Otherwise we wouldn't be together now, guiding each other through thick and thin. Thank you."

I didn't say anything in response. I looked into his beautiful brown eyes and cherished him.

He was my person.
