Miss Daring ✔️

Chapter Twenty Two

"After you guys broke up he got offered a three year contract to work with a non profit organization that travels around the country helping those who can't access medical care. He had been offered the chance before but turned it down because of you but since you two were no longer together he took it. That way be can complete his internship and gain working experience at the same time." Vincent explained.

I felt instantly relieved that Gabriel wasn't here so I didn't have to face him. Deep down though I was disappointed because I would have liked to see him even from a far to confirm that he was okay. But I was also proud of him for following his dream to help the less fortunate.

"Are you sure everyone else will want to see me?" I asked getting scared again.

"Of course. We all understood why you pushed us away. We're not kids Nia to start holding grudges. So let's go. You can meet Nicks girlfriend."

"The same one from months ago? They are still together?" I asked shocked.

"Yep. Now let's go." Vincent said and before I could reply the pulled me through the crowd and this time I let him.

I was a little nervous wondering how they would react. Vincent way easy because he and I were closest and he loved me so much I could crush his phone with my shoe intentionally in front of his eyes and he'd still hug me and forgive me. I wasn't so sure about the rest of the guys though.

I didn't have to wonder long though because soon enough we saw them standing in a group talking and laughing.

Everyone was there including Paul and Ava who were still together and glued to the hip. The was a new face,a short pretty dark girl standing next to Nick who had his arm around her.

"Hey guys guess who I found."Vincent announced and everyone turned to look at me.

They happy atmosphere turned quiet all of a sudden and I felt my heart sink. I shouldn't have let Vincent talk me into this. They all stood there looking at me with sad and angry faces except for Ava who gave me a smile and a small wave. I waved back smiling.

"Congratulations you guys for graduating." I said hoping to cut the tension.

It did work because before I could brace myself I was pulled into a group hug crushed between three bodies. Four because you couldn't leave Vincent behind in a group hug and he joined in.

"Miss Daring you're back." Paul said.

"She's alive." Jackson commented making me laugh.

"I missed you sexy lady." And that was Nick.

I thought he had a girlfriend now.

"Enough you giants let her go." Ava said pulling me away from them into her own hug.

"Congrats babe." She said with a smile when we pulled away.

"You too." I replied smiling back before she was pulled away by Paul and into his side.

I was very happy those two were still together, in love and going strong. I was a little jealous too but aren't we all for things we wish we had. Like true unbreakable love for example, the kind that they had.

"So Nick want to introduce me to your lady?" I asked with a smile.

"Sure. Nia this is my queen Vera. Vera babe that is Nia aka miss daring." Nick introduced.
