Chapter 1


I was at the mall with Lisa and Danielle, when I first saw the hottest guy I've ever seen.

"So Nikki, when are you finally gonna start dating, you've never had a boyfriend, and your 20."

'"You know how hard it was for me, after you found out about my dad. I just thought it'd be smart to stay away from guys for a while."

It was when I was little after my mom left ,with her little friend named heroin, that I became his wife. I did things no little girl should ever know. I guess that's why I'm so screwed up. I hate him for what he did and made me do.

"Yea, sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up. So, Kelsey is getting married, and she wants us to meet Michael tonight."

"Aw, I'm so happy for her. I cant wait to meet him." Little did I know, this was going to be the night that changed my life forever.


LATER THAT NIGHT


"Nikki, you're here, I'm so happy you made it." Said Kelsey, looking as beautiful as ever.

"Yea me too, so where is he."

"Michael this is Nikki, Nikki this is Micheal."

"Nice to meet you Nikki." He said, as our eyes connected I felt this jolt of electricity run through my body. I never believed in love at first sight, but if this isn't love then I don't know what is. He has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. You know how the sky is bright blue in the afternoon, that's what they look like.

"Nice to meet you too Micheal." Even saying his name made me feel weak.

"OK, so now that we all know each other, lets go and find a table to sit at." Said Kelsey.

I can see why he's with her, I mean shes beautiful. She has bright blond hair, and gorgeous green eyes, I have to admit, if i was a guy or a lesbian, I would have a crush on her. After we ate, we went to see a movie, unfortunately I sat by Michael and Kelsey. And I felt his leg rub against mine, sending heat all over my body. I don't know if he knows what hes doing, hes making me crazy. I think hes doing it on accident, I mean he loves Kelsey. Right? Just then a terrible thought came into my head, me and him and no Kelsey. I'm such a terrible friend ,I know, but I cant help it.

After the movie was over, I drove home to my apartment and went to bed. The whole night I thought about Michael, and what it would be like to be with him. But I never will, because him and Kelsey love each other, and I cant do that to her no matter what happens.


CHAPTER 2


I was woken up the next morning by banging, and screaming, at my front door.


"Wake up sleepy head, we've got lots to do today." OH CRAP! I forgot, we're supposed to start planning for the wedding today. It's in 4 months.


"Coming!" I screamed, as I went to open the door, because they're annoying the hell outta me.

"I swear if you don't stop it, I'm going to shoot you all." I should probably mention I hate being woken up, it annoys the hell out of me.


"Someones a little cranky." Oh lord, please help me, it's Michael. I can already tell, that this is going to be a long, bad day.

"Nice shorts." He said, looking at my extremely short shorts. I turned beet red, how embarrassing.


I went and took a shower, and got changed. I dint blow dry, or straighten my hair, because I don't have time, and I like it better curly. So we left to go and find a church, and look at flower arrangements.


By the third church we went to, we almost lost hope. But then, we went to this new one, and thank god they had an opening for April 19Th. After that, we went to pick out flowers. It was the most boring 5 hours of my life. YES! IT TOOK 5 F-ING HOURS!!!! Soon after that, we went out to dinner, and again I got stuck by Michael. Kelsey on one side, me on the other. As soon as we ordered, I felt a hand running up and down my leg. I felt the sparks, so I knew it was Michael. OH MY GOD! Does he know it's me. Well obviously, if he doesn't then he's even stupider than I thought.


"Nikki, I want you to be my maid of honor at my wedding." said Kelsey. It wasn't really a question, so all I could say was,


"Sure. I have to go to the bathroom." I said very fast, and ran toward the bathrooms. Here I've been having all the thoughts about Michael, and she just asked me to be her maid of honor. I soon felt someone following me. I t was kinda creeping me out so I decided to turn around to see who it was. And boy was I surprised, that my day turned from bad, to worse.


"Nikki wait, I need to talk to you now." I knew, by the tone of the voice, that I was screwed.


Chapter 3


"What do you want, Danielle?"


"Stay away from Michael." I looked into her deep brown eyes, to see she was pissed. I remember a time, when we used to be friends. She used to be nice, and fun. She also used to care about what she looked like when she went out. Now, she just puts her blonde hair back into a ponytail, it’s sad really. Maybe, she could get another boyfriend if she looked better.


"I don't know what you're talking about." Maybe if I deny it, she will think I really don't. But I do and she knows it. We've known each other for so long, that she can see right though me.


"Oh, you know exactly what I'm talking about, you self centred bitch. No one knows what you did to me. To everyone else you're this perfect little angel, and they think you’re a saint - but you're not. You know how much I loved him, but you still took him, and broke him, until there was nothing left but an empty shell. I will tell her if you don't leave him alone. You should know there is nothing I do better than revenge.” Then she left leaving me to think about what she just said. As I looked at her retreating form, I knew that this can't end well.


Oh god, what have I done? Oh well, too late to go back now - he's already wrapped around my finger. I went back to the table, and Danielle gave me a really dirty look. It actually kinda scared the crap out of me.


“Ok, so what’s up with you two, you’re giving each other the dirtiest looks right now.” Said Kelsey nervously picking at her pizza. The only reason she probly cares, was because she didn’t want a catfight at her wedding.


“Oh no reason, we just had a little fight is all, no worries Kelsey.” Danielle didn’t tell her, that’s a surprise, I thought for sure she’d rat me out.


Conversation was light through the rest of the dinner, I had a very hard time not looking at Michael. I could feel his hand running up and down my leg, again sending chills throughout my body, but I ignored them and him. I tried not to think about him. Kinda hard when he's sitting right next to me.


After that everyone went home. But not before Michael asked if he could "talk" to me alone. He told Kelsey it was a surprise for her baccalaureate party. But I knew better I know exactly what he wanted and I wanted it too. As terrible as it is , I couldn't help it. It's out of my control, or that's what I'd like to think.


"So Michael - what did you want?" I barely got that out before he smashed his lips to mine. The moment was blissful. It was like our souls were connecting, and becoming one. And as we were doing that, I ran my fingers through his beautiful soft hair. After a few seconds, much to my dismay, he stopped, and we looked into each other’s eyes. His eyes were the most beautiful things I've ever seen. He looked me straight in the eyes and made my heart skip a beat. And made me want to melt into his arms.


"Nikki you’re beautiful. But I love Kelsey so she can’t ever know about this. I don’t know what I would do if I ever lost her. But I like you so we have to keep this a secret." And with that he left me. And what was left of my already broken heart was gone. And I felt cold.

I drove home that night, thinking about how wrong this was. But it was so wrong, that to me it felt right. When I got home I took a shower, then got dressed for bed and looked in the mirror. I looked in the mirror. Meeting my bright green eyes and smiling, I brushed my long brown hair until it shone like silk. Yes, I’ll admit that I’m beautiful. A perfect face to match a body that any girl would kill for. I might even be prettier than Kelsey. After analyzing myself I went to bed. And way deep down, in my chest, I felt my heart tighten with guilt, of the chaos I just started.


"The way you move is a full on rainstorm and I'm a house of cards. You’re the kind of reckless that should send me running but I kinda know that I won’t get far."


I woke up to hear Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift. My phone was ringing.


"Hey girl! Wake up! Time to go look for wedding dresses!" I heard Kelsey scream through the phone. God, one of these days I'm just going to slap her.


"OK! OK! I'm up!" I yawned until my jaw creaked.
