Y/n's POV
     I carefully hit record and skate into frame, getting slightly past Nick I feel his hand meet mine as I spin behind his back and he grabs my other hand spinning me again, his hand gently hits back before he pushes me back into the dip, his hand ends up going under my sweater so his fingers cold against my back.
     My entire body tingles and my stomach flutters with butterflies as we make intense eye contact, even though my face is cold I still feel it go hot. Nick smiles and pulls me back upright, I skate over and turn off the camera then go over next to Nick to watch the video. The video looks perfect and at the end you can see the intensity of the eye contact and can almost feel the connection between us.
      "Nailed it," I say with a smile
       "yep, send it to me and I will add music and then post it," he says casually.
       I look up at him, "your not going to add special Affects? Trust me, it will make the video better. You can pick the song and I will do special affects," he looks at me as I speak.
     "Ya, sure. How about we take a brake for a bit, I'm getting cold," he puts his hands in his hoodie pocket, "we can leave if you want, it's fine by me." There's not a moment of hesitation before he responds
      "ok, let's go to yours, my house is boring," he grabs my hands and starts skating backwards.
      "Ok ok, can we do the thing one more time?" I question
      He stops moving "ok one more time," he giggles. We do the trick again, this time he holds the dip a little longer. Once again my body tingles and I get butterflies as we make eye contact.
      He pulls me back up "ugh I can never get enough of that feeling," I shake my head as we skate off the ice.
     He giggles "I don't know what your talking about," he looks at me as we sit down to take off our skates "I don't even know how to explain it, but it's just amazing." I shake my head again.
     "At least try to explain it, I can't read your mind,"
      "Umm, when I fall back into the dip it's like a tingle... I don't know, I-I don't know how else to explain it, maybe it's just adrenaline or something," I say as I put my shoes back on.
       Nick laughs a little "I get it to," he nudges my arm with his elbow and stands up. I finish tiring my shoe and stand up.
      Someone I don't recognize is walking up to us, "umm, Nick, who the hell is that?" I walk past him and he turns. The person gets up to us and without hesitation Nick starts to talk.
     "Clay? What the hell are you doing here?" He sounds confused, Clay responds
     "Oh just seeing what your up to, you haven't been able to hang out of the past 2 days," he says dramatically
        "Sorry man, I've been... busy. I've got lots going on right now ok, we will work something out I promise," Nick hugs him.
     Clay looks at me, his tall figure towers over me, "oh, hey Y/n," he pats my head
      "Hey, I'm not some kind of cat, you can't just pat my head," I cross my arms and look down to the side.
       Nick wraps his arms around my waist and giggles, "he knows, he does it to everyone,"
      "Hey what are you guys doing now? Maybe I could join you?" Clay looks down at us "oh we where going to go to y/n's, chill and maybe stream or something, I don't really know," Nick let's go of me.
     "Ok, I can come hang for a bit it your cool with it,"Clay smiles
      "ya sure," I respond nervously. We leave and get into separate cars starting the ride home, I play music, shuffling my playlist Line Without a Hook starts playing.
     Me and Nick both laugh, he puts his hand on my thigh again, the tingling feeling comes back and a sworm of butterflies fills me to the brim. I giggle "there's that tingle again," I look at Nick and he nods
    "same. I wonder what it is, I don't get it, I've never gotten this personally. This is new to me too,"
     The rest of the drive is silent, Nick occasionally rubs my thigh gently with his thumb, giving me even more butterflies. We arrive at my house, Clays car follows us closely the whole time. "Can you play one song, please, just one," Nick says as we walk up to the door.
       "Oh I will definitely be playing more than one, just chill ok," I giggle, Clay walks up behind us as I open the front door. We go inside and the boys follow me to the kitchen.
        "oh hey honey, don't forget you have school tomorrow." My mom says not paying attention
     "I know~, you guys want something to drink?" I ask the boys.
     My mom turns around and looks at me "oh, you brought friends, nice to meet you two," she nods at them and turns back to making dinner "will you be staying for dinner?" She asks them politely.
     "Umm, where not sure," Nick response
     "That's fine, have a good time with your friends,"
     I cut her off "and be good I know," I roll my eyes as I open the fridge and grab 3 waters.
      Nick giggles, "you have nothing to worry about Mrs. y/l/n, we don't plan on anything," he says through small laughs.
       "Nick, Clay, nice to see you boys," my dad walks in and says. 'Oh god, how could this get any worse' I think to myself as I hand the boys there waters
     "oh coach, nice to see ya," the boys great him. They chat for a bit then we go up to my room.
      I plop down on my computer chair with a sigh. Nick sits down on my bed. After about an hour Clay leaves, leaving me an Nick alone. "Play a song," Nick giggles with a smile.
       I grab my guitar, "ok, what should I play?" I question as I grab my pick out of the strings. "Umm anything, literally anything," his smile gets bigger.
     "ok this is Sunkissed by khai dreams," I look up and see him recording.
     I get nervous and my face feels hot, but I start to play anyway. The world around me seems to dissolve into nothing as I strum away, singing the lyrics from memory. I look up and see Nick starting cutely holding his phone up recording me, I smile and continue singing the song till finally the song comes to an end.
    I pull the guitar up next to my face and giggle cutely, he stops recording and puts his phone down, there's a few minutes of me randomly strumming before he says something "y/n, have I ever told you how vary pretty your voice is?" He stands up and walks over to me, pulling me up off my seat, he takes the guitar from my hands and lays it on my bed.
      I get nervous, "no, you haven't, but thank you for the compliment,"
     Our eyes meet, with his finger he gently pushes my hair back behind my ear, I feel my face get hot. I giggle nervously and look down, he wraps his arms around me, I do the same. With every second my body tingles and I feel like I'm floating, it's the best feeling ever.
After about a minute his grip relaxes and he gently runs his fingers through my hair sending a shiver down my spine. I let go of my tight grasp around him and step back just before my dad opens my door, without knocking. "Dinner," he says calmly then slams the door making me jump like it always does. He only ever closes it gently when I'm sleeping.
"Damn, he could have just left the door open, we are going to walk out of it anyway," Nick says with fear.
      "He does it to piss me off, he knows I hate it when people slam doors because of Trauma but does it anyway," I say and roll my eyes as I walk to the door and start down the stairs.
Me and Nick sit next to each other at the table and silently eat along with everyone else until, oh god, my sister starts talking, I take a drink of my water. "So y/n, who's your new boyfriend?" She looks up at me then smiles at Nick, I nearly spit my water at her but refrain.
       I clear my throat "oh, he's umm, actually just a friend, kind of,"
Nicks pov
She clears her throat "oh, he's umm, just a friend, kind of," her words sting me, totally just got friend zoned, her sister's response kills me.
      "Oh so your like friends with benefits, I see,"
I respond quickly "nononononon, we are just friends, nothing more," I can feel y/n's dads eyes on me, his gaze burns into my skin as I sit back in my seat.
        Y/n's brother looks at me, "so Nick, I've heard about your dad, I'm really sorry about that man," he try's to change the subject but just makes things worse.
My dad got really sick and unfortunately passed a few weeks back, I haven't really thought to much of it because he was never the best of a father figure, but his death still really affected me in the long run.
"Ya pretty unfortunate, it's alright thought," I say and gaze at him with 'help me' eyes, me and him have been pretty close for most of high school. But not as close as me and Clay.
        I feel y/n's eyes on me for a moment before she starts to speak "what?! You never said anything about your dad?" She says aggressively and takes a drink of her water.
"Oh, sorry, ya he unfortunately passed like a month ago, but it's fine, he was never the best influence on me, although it did hurt to know he was gone I do stress a lot less without him so it kinda helps a little,"
Y/n's POV
All the sudden I start to feel faint, my whole body goes numb for a moment before I start to freak out.
Back to Nick pov
Silence fills the room the rest of the dinner. Y/n looks at me and then to her mom "may I be excused?" She says with a shaken voice.
      Her moms eyes widen a little as she sees her daughters face "yes of course," she says with a quick nod. Y/n stands up quickly and takes her dishes to the sink before running upstairs and I hear her door shut.
He mom stands up "everyone is excused," she says and walks away places her plate gently in the sink and grabs something out of the cabinet and getting a glass of water before going upstairs to y/n's room.
       Her dad looks at me "Nick it's probably best of you leave, I can assure you she's probably fine but you should go," he says with a gently voice and stands up, taking my plate with him.
"Ok, I'm just going to go get my phone," I say and walk off upstairs, I knock on the door, "hey I'm going to leave, can you hand me my phone please, it's on your bed," I say and stand outside the door. Y/n's mom opens the door slightly and hands me my phone with I fake smile and quietly shuts the door.
As I drive home and start to get worried about
Y/n, even though her dad said she was ok I'm still really worried about her, she's never acted so fast before, she practically ran up the stairs and almost slammed her door, witch she hates.
When I get home I quickly go to my room and sit down at my pc, I call Clay hoping he's still awake.
(C=Clay N=Nick)
C: what's up dude?
N:I'm really worried man, y/n was acting weird and ran off to her room, then I was told to leave, I'm freaking out
C: I'm sure she's ok, did she say anything about it or did she just run off?
N:we where eating dinner and she asked to be excused then ran off quickly to her room
C:who knows man, girls are weird ok, things like that are normal
N:not for y/n, I know like everything about her, ok, I'm sure she would have said something about it before if it was that bad
We talk about it for a little while longer before I leave call and get ready for bed, I have school in the morning and don't want to be late. I grab some clothes and hop into the shower, I play the video of y/n singing on repeat, it helps calm me along with the hot water running down my back.
After I get out of the shower I dry off and get dressed, brush my teeth, put on deodorant, and a few other small things along the way. I walk out of the bathroom and go to my room, I plop down on my bed and set my morning alarms, then get up and turn off my lights. Laying under my blankets I think of Y/n laying there with me, I quickly stand and grab the hoodie she loves to ware, I quickly put it on and lay back down.
Even though she wore it twice it smells like her, I hold the sleeves up to my face so I can smell them and roll on my side, my eyes get heavy but I resist sleep hoping for a text from y/n, but it never comes.
My alarm goes off, fuck did I stay up all night, I roll over and look at the time, 5:55 am, sure did. I hit snooze and close my eyes and instantly fall asleep.
