"Trace?" I called out to her.
She sits on her bed as she looks back at me. Tracy was busy putting on her ankle boots, getting ready for another night out.
"You haven't talked to me for three days now since that night. I'm really sorry." I say.
She exhales. "I'm not mad at you Savannah. I'm mad at Nick."
I walked to Tracy and sat down right next to her. "You still haven't talked to him?"
"I did. The other day. I'm hurting for you too. When you told me you loved my brother, I just wanted to hold you cos he will only hurt you Savannah. He could never be giving you back that kind of love you feel for him." Tracy tells me.
I sigh.
"But I know that no matter how I tell you to stop with whatever you have with him, you won't listen to me." She added.
I smiled at her ruefully.
"Do you really love him?" She asks.
"Yeah." I answered softly.
Tracy hugs me tight right away as if she knows my pain. As if she had felt this kind of pain before. She rubs my back slowly and I wrapped my arms around her. Tracy was like an older sister to me and she treats me well.
"I love him so much Tracy... that I would do anything for him. I'll sacrifice everything for him even though it already hurts. I'll try to deal with the pain. I'll try to be strong for myself." I cried on her shoulder.
"Oh Savannah. I just couldn't stand seeing you getting hurt over Nick. I told you he's not capable of loving someone new anymore. The best advice I could give you is to give up what you feel for Nick. I'm sorry for being so blunt but I'm your friend. I need to tell it straight to your face that what you have with him will lead to nowhere. Why'd you even allow yourself to get involve?" She asks.
"I thought I could handle it. But it's gotten out of control. And right now I.." I answered.
I sigh heavily.
"I just need him. He makes me feel special." I said weakly.
She pulled herself away from me and wiped my tears. "Come with me. I'm going out and you need to party. At least have fun just for one night."
"Where?"
"The frat house."
I shake my head. "After that night, I haven't talked to Nick. I don't think I'm ready to face him."
"Don't worry. Nick isn't around today. He said he left for the weekend."
My brows creasing. "Where he went to?"
"I don't know. He didn't say."
I exhale. Here I go again, looking for him when he's not around. Here I go again, wondering where he might could've been by now. And here I go again, thinking that he's with Catherine by now, spending his weekend with her.
"So he's not gonna be there?" I asked.
She nods.
"Why are you avoiding Nick?" She asked.
"I don't know. I just feel the need to avoid him cos I thought you were so mad at me." I say.
Tracy smiled. "I'm not. I really wanna help you with Nick cos--"
"Don't. I know he's not gonna fall for me. I couldn't compete with Catherine and for the past eight years she's all he thinks about. I couldn't change that." I say.
She pushes my hair behind my ear.
"When are you gonna stop?" She asks.
"Once I've had enough." I say.
Tracy stands and pulls me up. "Let's stop being so melodramatic and head to the party. Shall we?"
I smile.
