"Thanks for tonight Damon." I say as he parks his car back in the basement.

"Sure thing. Anytime Savannah."

Both of us headed out of his car while I was still thinking of texting Nick back. After all these months he makes his way to me again asking if how I was. How insensitive is he still asking me that question? What could he possibly be thinking about while he was typing it asking me how I could've been these months after he left me just like that. My anger is now even more igniting again but I try to ignore Nick cos that's what he did to me.

Damon and I headed inside the elevator together until we reached our floor and walked out to the hallways. My mind was still thinking about Nick and I wanted to know about all these unanswered questions I have in mind. I wanted to know where he was, why he left me and why did he just text me now. But I'm scared of his answer, what if his answer will be related to his past again? I'm not ready to hear more from it cos I thought it was everything I needed to know.

But what if Cameron was right? What if there's more I need to know about Nick?

Damon and I headed out of the elevator and walked to each of our apartment. I literally stopped walking and froze when I stood right close to my door. Damon stops with me and looks into me then stares back at where I was looking. He's there. He's standing there right in front of my door. Im not hallucinating. I know I see him. I know what I see right now. And now I'm having a hard time breathing. My heart is going crazy and crazier every second I remember how he left me. I'm not ready to face him. I'm not ready.

"Savannah." He calls out to me.

"Nick..." I say breathlessly.

Nick's eyes moved to Damon and then Damon quickly marched his way to his own door while he glued his eyes on Nick. "Will you be ok?" Damon asked me.

I nod. "Yes. Thanks again Damon."

"Anytime. Goodnight Savannah. See you tomorrow." Damon says.

Damon marched his way inside his room which leaves me alone with Nick in this hallway. He's looking right at me while I was fighting myself from crying. I don't want to cry in front of him I want him to think that I wasn't affected when he left me. I want to slap Nick so badly. I want to pull his hair. I want to rip all of his skin from his body.

As I look at him longer, Nick still looks the same. He wore his usual clothes and his black leather jacket that I love the most when he's wearing it. Nick is really here. I couldn't believe it. I walked closer to my door and ignored him. I tried my headrest to ignore him.

I was having a hard time fishing my keys from my bag as I feel my hands shaking while I try to open my goddamn door. Damn where's that key.

"Savannah." Nick calls out to me.

I bite my lip hard cos my tears are already blurring my vision and I'm still trying hard not to let it fall on my cheeks while I'm still trying to insert my key to open this fucking door.

Damn this fucking door!

"Baby.." He calls out again.

I took a deep breath in and faced him.

"Don't you dare call me baby. Don't you dare." I say as my tears are now falling.

Nick tries to walk closer but I push his hands away from me. "Don't touch me Nick. I don't need you here. What are you still doing here? Why did you still show up huh? I thought you're gone. You left me right? I don't need you!"

I faced my door again and tried struggling to open it once more and finally I did it. I hurriedly rushed inside my apartment and Nick was fast enough to follow me in. I tried to push him out of my door but he was too strong. I turned on the lights while he closed the door as I face him. My tears are still creeping out from my eyes.

"What do you still want from me?! Why did you still show up?!" I yelled at him.

"Savannah--"
