"Last bus stop for tonight. Again, last bus stop for tonight. Thank you for riding with us today. Hope to see you soon. Thank you." I hopped out of the bus and started walking with no destination in mind.

The rain already stopped, which is a good thing because it's so cold already. And I'm still freaking shivering for Pete's sake.

I tried going home but it's useless. I look like a disgusting wet rat, I have no money because when I ran, the coins and bill I brought with me must've fallen or what, and my phone's out of juice. Besides, if I went home looking like this, I don't have a key and my parents would ask thousands of questions that I don't want to answer and I don't want that to happen.

I sat on a nearby bench and tried squeezing the hem of my polo shirt. Then I squeezed my hair after and tied it up in a bun with a hair tie.

I walked around again, trying to discover where I am. I went back to the bus stop because I think that there's a city map there. But then it rained again.

"Ugh, the world loves me. So freaking much." I grunted before looking for a shed. I ran to a bookstore for shed and sat on the bench in front of it.

I hugged myself tighter, trying to lessen the cold I'm feeling but it's useless. I'm literally shivering like now like a mad man.

Just when I was getting used to the cold, a mini truck suddenly appeared out of nowhere and drove fast that caused the rain water on the road to splash on me.

Great. Now I'm wet.

Again.

"F*cking hell! What do you want, huh?! Can't you see that I'm all messed up? For Pete's sake please let me breathe a little air!" I screamed at the top of my lungs to no one.

I'm tired. All tired. Drained out. How much more if my life's not simple? I would've committed a suicide then if shit like this happen to me everyday.

"Nikki?"

I looked up and saw Trev a few steps from me. He must've seen how messed up I look like because he rushed to me and enveloped me in a hug--the warmest I've had, seriously.

"What's wrong? Why are you here?" He asked as he patted my back. I just sobbed at his chest, trying to release the pain.

"Come. You're all soaked and wet." He gestured to his car at the other side of the street and I just nodded.

We arrived at his place by midnight, so I had no other choice but to stay there. A while ago, he wanted to take me home already but I told him not to, so he just then decided to let me stay here. Good thing is, his parents are out of the country so I wouldn't have trouble introducing myself to his parents.

A knock on the door brought me back to reality. "Oh hey, Trev."

He smiled sheepishly. "Hey, Niks. So uh, I brought you some clothes."

I hesitantly took it from him. "Uh, thanks."

"Don't worry, those are clean. They're m-my sister's."

My eyes lightened up. "I never know you have a sister."

"Yeah. She's already married and hasn't visited us for a couple of years now, so maybe that's why only a few know." He said

"Thanks for helping me out. And yeah, for letting me stay."

He gave me a grin. "No prob, Nikki. But you owe me one."

I lifted a brow at him. "Fine then. Shoot."

"Just be my prom date."

"Okay. Easy." I gave him a grin.

He was about to go out of the room but then he looked back. "Uh, I'm ordering food. You okay with Chinese?"

I shrugged. "Anything sounds good."

He grinned at me again. "Okay then. Chinese it is. Laters, pig."

I scoffed at him. "Laters, big."

"I like that. Pig & Big. Piggy eater and Big muscles."

I just rolled my eyes at him. "Whatever, big."

×××

"Good morning, sunshine."

I gave him a smile. "Good morning, big."

"Ah, right. Our pet names. Let me rephrase that--Good morning, pig!" He grinned at me as he place a plate of bacon on the dining table.

"Good morning again, big." I said back, waving a hand at him. He gave me a smile before going back to the kitchen. I followed him.

"So, did you sleep well?" He asked as he started frying an egg. On the kitchen counter, there are four other plates with hotdogs, fried rice, hotcakes, and brownies.

"Yep, I slept well. Thanks. You?" I said then picked up two of the plates and placed them on the dining table.

"I slept better today because of you, pig." He gave me a smile before he took the fried egg off of the pan and placed it on a plate.

I grinned at him then leaned against the counter opposite to his. "Why, is my aura that sweet and tingling that it put you to sleep?" I teased

He shrugged. "Maybe. You'll never know."

"Or is it because you're not alone last night, huh? Is Little Twev scared?" He sent me a venomous glare but I just blew him a kiss and laughed.

"Shut up and just sit on the table, pig."

"Aye, aye, captain!" I gave him a salute before marching off to the dining table.

×××

I patted my stomach and leaned back on my chair. "Aish, I'm so full."

He laughed at me. "Me too. But not as full as you, pig. You are literally a pig, huh?" I gave him a glare which he just laughed off.

"Who wouldn't? First reason is that you're a great cook. Hell, if you're interested taking me in, I'll be glad to live here." We laughed at my statement.

"What's the second reason then?" He asked

"Well, last night, I didn't eat last night because hell, Adam brought me to a---" I stopped when I realized that I mentioned Adam. I can feel Trev's eyes on me but I didn't meet them.

I felt him stand up from his seat beside me and went to my back. He had his hands on my shoulders and when he started patting my head, that's when everything came crashing down again.

"Come here, come here. Sshhh... It's okay." I stood up and hugged him, pouring my heart out.

"I may not know what happened with you and Adam but I know that it's not something you'd want to remember so I'm gonna do anything just to erase it from your memory."

I giggled at his words. Somehow, even though he's Adam's best friend, I know it in my heart that he's on my side.

"You're so cheesy, you know."

He laughed. "Tell me about it."

I pulled away from him and wiped my tear-stained cheeks. "God, I ruined your shirt. Sorry."

He looked at the wet patch on his shirt and shrugged. "Nah, it's okay. It's just a shirt. Anyways, wanna do something fun? The rehearsal's not gonna start until 12."

I nodded at him, a bit excited of what a Trevor Dutchman does for fun. "Sure, why not? I don't mind."

TREV'S SO SWEET AND CARING THAT IT MAKES ME WANNA WISH THAT I'M NIKKI!!! :"(

Whoo, maybe I was wrong. Maybe Trev might be the source of cheesiness here in the story and not jolliness haha :D

Who's on Team NiDam and Team NiVor? ;) *raises both hands up in the air like I just don't care because hey why not* XD

Tell me if you guys are okay with their ship names :)

So, I have attached a photo grid of the actress who will represent Nikki and I chose Crystal Reed! ❤❤❤ I think it's on the chappy number II but to be sure, just go check it out. And for Adam, I chose hunny Zac Efron ❤ ^ ❤ I attached a photo grid also on the third chappy I think but I think there's an error so maybe I should re-attach it again :) I wanna hear your opinions about my main character leads :)

Anyways, some are asking me who's gonna represent Trev, and my answer to that is I still haven't thought of someone. If you guys wanna help me, I'm looking for a guy who looks like a playboy material but inside he's really a sweet and caring one ;)

The a/n's too long now XD but I hope you guys will read it till the end

Vote, comment, share, recommendddddd!

Be with me till the end! Wattys!

Yours truly,

Nicholle
