Taylor's POV
THREE MONTHS LATER
Everything has been going fine for the past three months, although I couldn't sleep very well because of all the nightmares. It hasn't been very easy. I bought a new phone and it's much better than my previous one.
My hand, wrist and body have gotten much better and I even went back to Nurse Keller to get them both checked out.
My wrist was fractured from when Victor twisted it, and my body had minor injuries but other than that, everything was fine.
My palm was surprisingly ok and I'm glad nothing more serious took place.
She told me I need to be more careful because my body hasn't exactly healed since the first attack. I agreed and I was able to leave within a few days.
My wrist still needs a little more time but my body has healed completely and I feel much better.
I'm still staying with Nicolas in his guest bedroom because he doesn't feel comfortable letting me stay back home at my apartment since the break-in occurred.
My birthday's coming up soon and I've honestly been dreading it. It'll be my first birthday without Ryan or Sofia. I'll be turning 22 without my brother or best friend present and it hurts.
Since I've been staying with Nicolas a lot, we've discussed many plans to get back at Ivan and Victor for everything.
And we've also grown much closer.
But I feel like he's holding back from me. Like something's stopping him for some reason.
I've noticed that I've grown some type of feelings for Nicolas since we've gotten to know each other.
It's been almost a year since that night, and since then we've been growing a lot closer.
Every time I'm around him, I get butterflies in my stomach, or painful little twists. I fidget with my fingers, or I'm barely able to speak.
But I have to abide by his rules, or everything will get messed up, for the both of us.
It's getting frustrating that I'm not able to control myself whenever I'm around him.
He has this affect on me that I've grown to love.
He seems to care for me like I care for him, but I'm afraid if I let him know how I'm feeling, he won't feel the same way about me.
Or maybe he'll only consider me a friend, and that's not how I think of him.
Friends...
The feelings I have for him are much more than that. But even now when I saw Nicolas's face, I felt annoyed.
How in the world could I have feelings for him?
How could I let myself have feelings for him, knowing it would just end with us going our separate ways?
I care for him a lot, and I don't want to lose him by telling him how I feel, especially if he doesn't feel the same.
I've noticed that he tenses around me, or his posture changes. He always does these small gestures and I'm not sure what they mean.
Like staying with him for example.
If he doesn't feel the same, then what does everything mean?
Why would he be doing all of this?
I guess there's only one way to find out.
