Zara's P.O.V.

We reached home 10 minutes ago but nobody's leaving the car. We are just quite and staring out of the window.

I am staring blankly at our home when Emma starts to speak.

"We need to go, Zara."

"Uh yeah. Let's go."

Nicky opened his mouth to say something but didn't say anything.

I move out of the door and go towards our home with my luggage.

"Zar. You idiot. Can't you see Nicky wants to speak to you?" Emma whisper-yells.

"No I can't. Thanks for showing me" I give her one of my best smiles.

"Um, guys, I'll leave you both alone." she says and mouths, 'Go talk'

I turn around to go towards Nicky to bump into him.

"Sorry" I laugh.

"So...that's it." he says.

Unfortunately, yes, I guess.

"Um..I don't know. You have my number!" I say in realisation. "I could call you, you could call me, we can video chat, text each other and-"

"The end of us too?" He cuts me off.

What does he mean by us? There never was an 'us', was there?

"I don't know what you're trying to say Nicky." I say confused.

He just keeps staring at me for like half a minute and in that half minute, I see so many emotions in his eyes.

Amusement, confusion, anger, irritation, etc.

And I know what he means when he leans down and comes closer to me. He connects our foreheads and I try to say something but words don't come out.

"I...Nick-" I say but he cuts me off.

"Shh" he whispers.

Weird.

He comes a little bit more closer, if that's even possible and I flutter my eyes close when I know what's to happen next.

And in that fucking moment, my mother opens the front door of her house and gasps.

"Zara! What the hell are you doing!" She screeches in her British accent and comes closer to me. She pulls me roughly by my hand and pushes Nicky away.

"What do you think you are doing, Mister? You better stay away from my daughter or else-" I cut her off before she can insult my 'friend' anymore.

"Or else nothing, mum. Would you stop overreacting? It was just-"

"I'm sorry Mrs. Summers. I'm her friend Nicky. Nice to meet you." He offers his hand for mum to shake but she doesn't so he awkwardly takes it back.

"Stay away from my daughter. And you, come in my house I need to have a chat with you." Mum tries to grab my hand and pull me in but I grab her wrist and push her away slightly.
"Don't you dare order me. Just go. I'm coming." I say irritated. How mean can she be?

"How can you talk to your mother like that!" She yells at me.

"How can you talk to your daughter like that! I SAID I'm coming. Now please go. Just GO!" I yell back.

She gives me one last glare and goes away.

"Thank the lord" I mutter under my breath.

I look up at Nicky to see him wide eyed staring at the front door in shock.

"Don't get shocked, Nicky. Um yeah, that's my mother, by the way. Her name is Grace Hope Summers and she is not graceful at all. So you better stay away from her. And to finish off what you started...I'm sorry I can't do that. I will explain it to you later but not right now. I'm in a hurry and-"

"ZARA FLORENCE SUMMERS. I THINK I CALLED YOU IN THE HOUSE. WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING WITH THAT BOY. COME IN! NOW" She yells from a window staring at me in anger and shooting Nicky hateful glares. What a bitch.

"AND I THINK I TOLD YOU THAT I WAS COMING INSIDE YOU IMPATIENT WOMAN!" I yell back.

She is about to say something but my small sister, Lottie, tugged at her dress and pulled her away from the window.

"I guess this is how it ends. Can't help it. I have to go. Bye." I say with a sad face.

"Will you-"

I cut him off by placing my index finger on my lips motioning him to shut up.

"Bye" I say softly.

I kiss the corner of his mouth and go away from him into my mother's house.
