Ariana POV

The screenshot stared back at me from my phone screen while thunder rolled softly outside. Ashley: He told me he was confused, not in love with someone else.

My chest tightened instantly. Underneath the message sat older texts from Nick. Not recent. But recent enough. The apartment stayed dark except for flashes of lightning outside the windows and the faint glow from my phone screen. Rain hit the glass harder now, turning the city outside blurry and gray.

Nick noticed my expression

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   167 - Shattered lines.

    Ariana POVThe drive to the hospital felt endless. Rain still covered the roads while headlights blurred past the car windows in streaks of white and gold. Nick drove faster than usual, one hand tight on the steering wheel while the other kept checking his phone every few minutes.I had never seen him this anxious before. Not even during the chaos online. He barely spoke during the drive. And honestly, I did not know what to say either. Everything felt heavy now. Bigger than jealousy or rumors or complicated feelings. Laura was in a hospital somewhere because she collapsed alone on the side of the road.Nothing about that felt dramatic anymore. Just terrifying. "Did they say if she’s awake?" I asked quietly.Nick shook his head once without looking away from the road. "They said she was conscious for a few minutes when paramedics arrived, but then she passed out again."My chest tightened painfully. I looked down at my hands while guilt slowly crawled through me again. If none of this

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   166 - Bitter touch.

    Ariana POVThe color drained from Nick’s face so quickly that panic hit me instantly. "What did she say?" I asked quietly.Nick stared at the message for another second before answering. "She says she’s fine."I frowned immediately. "That’s the message?"He swallowed hard. "And she said not to look for her."Something about the way he said it made my chest tighten painfully. "That’s not normal," I whispered."I know."Nick locked his phone slowly before pacing toward the kitchen again. His movements looked restless now, frustrated energy filling the apartment completely. I stood up carefully. "Maybe she just wants space.""Laura doesn’t disappear without telling anyone where she’s going."The worry in his voice made guilt twist sharply inside me again. Nick leaned against the kitchen counter while staring down at his phone. "I should’ve checked on her earlier.""This isn’t your fault."His eyes lifted toward mine immediately. "You literally just blamed yourself five minutes ago."Fair

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   165 - Broken vows.

    Ariana POVThe moment Nick said Laura’s name, tension returned instantly. He stared down at his phone with an expression I could not fully read. Not anger this time. Something closer to concern. My stomach tightened. "Is she okay?" I asked quietly.Nick looked up immediately. "I don’t know."That answer somehow made everything worse. He unlocked the phone again, rereading the message carefully before running a hand through his hair. "What did she say?"Nick hesitated briefly before answering. "She wants to see me."I swallowed slowly. "Right now?"He nodded once. Rain still hit the apartment windows steadily while silence settled heavily between us again. Part of me immediately felt guilty for even being here while Laura was probably hurting somewhere alone. Another part of me hated the sudden fear crawling into my chest.Because no matter how much Nick reassured me lately, Laura had history with him I could never compete with. Nick noticed my expression instantly. "Ariana."I looked

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   164 - Dangerous promises.

    Ariana POVThe rain outside sounded louder now. Maybe because the apartment had gone completely silent after Nick’s confession. Something did happen.The words stayed trapped inside my chest while I stared at him across the dim kitchen. Lightning flashed briefly through the windows, casting sharp shadows across his face before darkness returned again.I hated how calm he looked. Or maybe he only looked calm because I was panicking enough for both of us. "What happened at the lake house?" I asked quietly.Nick rubbed his hand over the back of his neck before answering. "It was a party during summer break. A bunch of people from school rented this place near the lake for the weekend."I crossed my arms tightly. "That sounds like the beginning of every bad decision ever."A small breath of laughter escaped him despite the tension. "Yeah. Honestly, it kind of was."I waited for him to continue. When he did not speak immediately, my stomach twisted harder. "Nick."He looked at me again. "I

Rain hit the glass harder now, turning the city outside blurry and gray.Nick noticed my expression immediately. "What is it?"I looked up slowly. "Who’s Ashley?"Confusion crossed his face first. Then recognition. Then something that looked dangerously close to frustration. "You’ve got to be kidding me," he muttered under his breath.My stomach twisted painfully at his reaction. Because guilty people usually reacted like that in movies. Nick moved slightly closer. "Ariana, let me see." I handed him the phone silently. The moment he read the messages, he exhaled sharply before rubbing his han

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   162 - Reckless hearts.

    Ariana POVThe silence after my confession felt heavier than anything else that happened that day. "But I don’t regret you."Nick kept staring at me like he was trying to make sure he heard me correctly. His expression had completely softened now, all the anger from earlier replaced by something quieter. Something dangerous. My heart started beating faster immediately. Which honestly needed to stop happening every time he looked at me like that. "You really mean that?" he asked quietly.I looked down at my hands for a second before nodding slowly. "Yeah."Nick let out a slow breath like my answer mattered far more than it should have. Maybe it did. For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. The rain outside had softened into a light drizzle now, leaving the apartment wrapped in a calm silence that felt strange compared to the chaos online.My phone still buzzed occasionally on the couch beside me, but I ignored it completely. I was tired of strangers having opinions about my life. Nick l

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   19 - Oh, you've got to be kidding me!

    Sofia and I decided to have a sleepover at her house since we haven't had one of those in a while and it was also the only way of getting Nick out of my head. We decided to watch a marathon of sisters because it's the only show we could agree on watching. Sofia popped down next to me on her comf

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   47 - So where does that leave us?

    The words hung in the air, surprising me as much as him. There were bigger issues to address, but that question tumbled out first. And suddenly, I needed to hear his answer.He fell silent, thoughtful, as though weighing the question before answering. "Once," he said after a pause. "In my sophomore

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   46 - No more sex.

    "Why did you stop?" He grumbled, brows furrowing as hands immediately began clutching at my side to bring me back to him, but I refused to give in."I won't have sex with you Nick," I said, without any conviction in my voice. "That's the genesis of all our problems." "I didn't want to fuck you." M
