NICK'S POV

EIGHT YEARS AGO

The night when I stayed behind to watch over Tracy was the best thing that happened to me.

I met a very beautiful girl named Catherine and we have been hanging out a lot since then. I even thanked my mom about that night. Hilarious, I know.

I showed Catherine around town every day and she wouldn't complain about it. I took her to this cheap market in town and she bought a few stuff for herself and a bracelet for me that matches her bracelet as well. It was cute. I've never tried having couple things, we weren't officially a couple yet though. I would take her out for a little joyride by a borrowed car that Alec got from a mechanic shop. I took her to some ice cream parlour cos she loves ice cream so much.

"Strawberry. Definitely strawberry." She says to me.

"Alright. One strawberry and one chocolate please." I said to the ice cream seller who was checking Catherine out.

She takes the cone and starts licking the ice cream. Catherine is the only thing I always think of everyday when we're not together. I always get happy when Catherine is happy. I love watching her do some stuff that is cute and how she is just purely happy. She makes me happy over the littlest things she do.

"Hmm, why are you looking at me like that?" She asks me while we were walking on the streets, hand in hand. Another couple thing that I haven't done with my ex, Hazel.

"Cos you're pretty." I was being honest.

I love how she shies away when I tell her she is beautiful and how she argues with me about it.

"You're a smooth talker." She smiles.

I just laughed at her.

We would visit the town carnival a lot at night cos she likes it, she doesn't whine about how ugly or rusty the rides are, she forces me to ride one after the other. She constantly visits my house every weekend along with Jenna and I love how my mom likes her. They get along pretty well cos my mom loves baking and so does Catherine. I hope her parents will like me just like how my mom likes her for me.

"She's a very beautiful and a kind girl, Nick." Mom says to me while I was helping her out with the groceries.

"I know mom."

"And she makes you happy."

"She's my happiness." I smiled.
