Important A/N at the end!

Nikki's POV

'One, two, three, one, two, three, drink. One, two, three, one, two, three, drink. One, two, three, one, two, three, drink. Thrown back, till I can't count,' The words to Chandelier by Sia filled my ears again and I groan. I roll over and turn off my alarm one final time.

I had set my alarm for me to wake up at 12, but I was too tired to even think about waking up, so here I am about a hour and I half later still lying in bed.

I groan and sit up. Last night was a very close game and it shouldn't have been. We won, but only by a touchdown and if the clock would have went any slower, the other team would have scored, meaning we would have had to go into overtime.

This should have been a easy game. The Lanson Cougars are not a very good team, so it should have been easy to win... But our team seemed too distracted. Dean had told me that Roman wasn't going to play tonight because of a fight. I didn't think it was going to make that big of a difference of he played or not, but it did. Kofi is a great player, there's no doubt in that, but he's not as good as Roman. And Kofi also seem as though he was nervous about playing Roman's position, which is Wide Receiver, and it affected his playing.

On top of that, Randy was definitely not on his 'A game'. He never threw the ball correctly and later we found out it was because he could see very well with one eye swollen shut... I don't know exactly how hard Roman actually hit him, but it looked pretty bad.

As good as our team is together as a whole, Roman and Randy as two of the key players. And with one injured and the other not even at the game, it's not really a good thing.

I sigh as I walk into my bathroom and brush my teeth and fix my hair. I don't bother changing clothes, I might as well just have a lazy day. There's nowhere I needed to be anyways.

I walk down stairs and go to the kitchen. Whe I get there I see Brie there looking in the fridge and I'm very tempted to smash a plate over her head. I was furious at her, but I had calmed down a lot since yesterday. Yesterday I almost dropped her on purpose when i lifted her up at the game. No, I wouldn't have felt guilty if I would have dropped her either.

You don't just put people's business out there like that, especially my friends. Brie and Naomi had always hated each other.

You see, even back when we were little and didn't have all this money and crap, Brie was still spoiled. She didn't just share things. Whatever was her's, was her's and no one else's. And I was Brie's best friend, and no one else's. Well years passed as we grew apart. My first new friend was Naomi. Brie hated her and I'm guessing it was because she thought Naomi was taking me away from her, but Brie didn't realize that she was the one who left me, not the other way around. Brie didn't want to be my friend, but she also didn't want others to be my friend. She wanted me to look up to her and wanted to be just like her... Well that'll never happen, so she can just forget about it.

It was just going to be us in the house for a while. Mom and Dad were in New York for the next week and a half on business, I just hope I don't kill her.

I walk over to the the cereal cabinet and grab the box of Lucky Charms and then grab a bowl and pour the cereal into it.

I turn around and see Brie pouring the last of the milk into a cup for her to drink. She looks at me and smirks.

"Oh I'm sorry," she said to me, "Did you need some of this for your cereal?"

I glare at her but then sigh and walk out the kitchen with my bowl of cereal. At least it was Lucky Charms, I ate them dry a lot anyways.

I walk to the living room and turn on the TV. When I turn it on it was in some wresting channel. I didn't know too much about the sport, I knew that Stephanie dad was involved in it some way, but I didn't know all the details.

I watch a little more as one guy jumps off the ropes and lands in another guy.

'Ouch,' I think to myself, 'they must be really mad at each other if there hurting each other that bad... They both look good in there outfits though'

I grab the remote to change the channel right as the guy pins the other guys.

I change the station until I finally stop on Degrassi. Why? Because there's nothing on... And I'm kinda hooked.

I shook my head as I watched the show, I couldn't handle drama like that at our school. We have enough as it is.

I feel my phone buzz and I pull it out of my pocket. It was a group message from Paige.

Paige: Mum has to work tonight. I'm gonna be soooo lonely over here... So I thought to myself 'hey, why don't you throw a sleepover?' And so I am. Sooo who wants to come over? Mum said it be alright to have boys over so don't ask about it (cough*nikki*cough). She actually trust you boys to keep it in your pants.

I roll my eyes but smile at the text before responding with the others.

Nikki: a sleepover sound pretty fun, I'm in.
Stephanie: I already kinda had sleep over plans...
Paige: you did? Why didn't you tell me?
Stephanie: cause it's kinda a sleep over for two 😏😂
Hunter: 😍😏😈💋👅💦😘
Punk: HUNTER! Keep your disgusting sexual emojis to yourself! 😷😷
Seth: I think you two forget we're in GROUP CHAT 😑😷
Randy: ew
Paige: so you two aren't coming then?
Stephanie: I'm just kidding 😂😂 I'll be there.
Hunter: wait... You were joking... Damn it! 😒😒 fine I'm in.
Dean: it's a lonely night for Hunter😂 but I'm in.
Seth: I'll come
Naomi: Hunter... Steph... I am... Disgusted... 😂But I'm in Paige
Punk: count on AJ and I being there.
Paige: alright... That leaves two unanswered.
Roman: idk I'm not sure if I'm up.
Randy: I'm not sure.

I roll my eyes at both of there respond. It's obvious that they both didn't want to go because they didn't want to see each other.

Nikki: well I'm deciding for you, your both going.
Randy: and if I don't show up?
Nikki: 🔨🔫💣🔪💥😈🔥🔥
Punk: NIKKI! Keep your life threatening emojis to yourself!
Roman: ... I think I'm gonna go... 😅
Randy: 😒 fine I'm in. What time are we meet at your place Paige?
Paige: let's just meet here at 7. And Joe gave me a whole bunch of movies yesterday! San Andreas is one of them!
Naomi: that movie isn't even out on DVD yet.,.
Paige: ok I may be bootleg! But! It's high quality bootleg! I mean no people are walking in front of the screen so we're good! He brought a lot, but I'm pretty sure no one wants to watch 50 shades of grey... 😅😳
AJ: NO! No one wants to see.... That on TV. 😷😷
Stephanie: well apparently someone did
Punk: it's like watching Porn on TV... Not that I watch that😅
Naomi: PUNK! 😂😷
AJ: you better not 😒
Punk: love you babe 😍😘😘😅

I roll my eyes but laugh at the text, then turn my phone off and head upstairs to my room and put some night clothes into a bag. I still had a couple hours before I had to head over there, but I wanted to get it over with.

I couldn't help but think about Randy and Roman. It was going to be highly awkward having both of them in the same room, but the sooner they got over this, the better.

'I'm not just gonna let them ruin there friendship like that,' I think to myself as I continued to get ready for tonight.

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%

"There gonna show up," I say to Paige as we walk back into the living room with the others, "I'll kill'em if they don't."

"Please don't kill the person that pays half the bills with me," Dean said as I sat next to him, "That would really suck for me."

Dean and Seth had came with Punk, AJ, and Naomi. Dean said that Roman wanted a little time to himself before he came over and I have no idea where Randy is.

I pull out my phone and send Randy a text.

Nikki: Do i need to come find you and drag you here with a rope around your neck?

A minute later he answers.

Randy: I just pulled up, yesh! You don't have to be so dang violent Nikki!

Nikki: well get you ass in here so I don't have to be.

Randy: where's Reigns.

Nikki: not here yet, now get in here.

Randy: are you lying to me?

Nikki: RANDAL ORTAN!

Randy: I'm commin, I'm commin, damn, give me a minute.

Nikki: you got exactly sixty seconds or I'm coming out there to get you... You don't want me to do that Randy.

"Are you threatening Randy?" Dean asked me and I look up from my phone.

"Why do you ask?" I ask him.

He hands me his phone and I see that he got a text from Randy.

Randy: please get your girlfriend. She's threatening my life and it's not cool dude.

I laugh at the text then stand up and walk to Paige's front door.

Right as I open the door, Randy was just about to knock. I noticed that his eye still looked pretty bad. It was probably going to be a while till it went down.

I raise a eyebrow and smirk at him and show him the text that he had sent Dean, "So I was threatening your life, huh?"

He scratched the back of his neck, "Um... I can explain..."

I roll my eyes, "Don't. Just get in here."

He sighs, but walks past me and goes into the living room. I walk back there as well and hand Dean his phone back.

I glance over at Naomi who was sitting next to Paige. She looked a little uneasy and that's probably because Randy's here.

"Hey," Dean said to me quietly, "Roman just texted me. He just pulled in."

"It's about time," I mumble, but I honestly was a little nervous about Randy and him begging here together, but it needed to happen.

I hear a knock at the door.

"I got it," Paige says as she stands up to go answer the door.

"You think they'll be ok?" Dean asked me.

I open my mouth but close it as the entire room got silent. I turn to see Paige entering the room with Roman.

"Hey Rome," Seth said, trying to break the silence.

"Hey Seth," Roman said as he sat on the floor next to the couch I was sitting on with Dean.

There was so much tension in the room right now, you could cut it with a knife.

Randy sighs, "Aren't we gonna watch a movie or something?"

"I think you guys need to talk before we watch a movie..." Paige said.

"There's nothing to talk about," Randy said while shrugging his shoulders.

"I didn't come over here to talk about my feelings," Roman said, "And if that's what we're gonna do, then I'm gonna leave."

"You can't leave without keys," Dean said.

"I have my..." Roman said while looking around him, "Where are my keys?"

Dean smirked and held them up, "With me. So your not going anywhere. This is a sleepover. You leave at the same time the rest of us do. No earlier, no later."

Roman groaned, "How the hell did you even get my keys?"

Dean grins, "I'm Dean freaking Ambrose, I have my ways."

Roman mumbled something that none of us could make out.

"You boys need to talk about this," I tell them, "You two can't just stay mad at each other."

"And why the hell not?" Randy said crossing his arms, "As far as I can tell, I don't ever need to speak to this bastard again."

Roman glares at him, "Watch it Ortan, I could easily mess up you other eye."

"I'd like to see you try," Randy said back to him,

"I won't try, I will." Roman said while standing up, but Dean stood up and pushed him back down on the ground slightly.

"No ones hitting anyone," Dean said while glaring at Roman.

Everyone stayed quite for a moment.

"Ok," AJ said, "Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna explain the parts we know, and you guys need to tell us everything we don't."

Roman sighs. "Alright."

"Ok," Paige said, "We know that Randy likes Naomi. We know that Roman and Naomi had sex. We know that you two fought. That's all we know as a whole, and something's telling me there's a lot missing."

They both stay quite for a minute and I look at over at Naomi. She was looking at the floor,

"For a couple weeks now," Randy started slowly, "I've been feeling differently towards Naomi. I use to just think of her as a really good friend, but lately I felt like I wanted her as more of a friend..."

"Why didn't you tell me the minute you started feeling like this?" Naomi asked.

"Because I was unsure of myself," Randy said to her, "I didn't want you to know. I thought it make things weird. I didn't know how you would react."

"That sounds like a lot of bullshit to me," Roman said while glaring at him.

"It sounds like my fist is about to connect with your jaw." Randy shot back.

"Quit it you two," I say to the both of them, "Roman, what do you have to say about all this?"

"Is this fuckinh Dr.Phil or something?" He shot at me, "I don't need to be interrogated."

I glare at him slightly, "Answer that question, Roman."

He groans, "Why the fuck should I?"

"Ok," AJ said, "First of all lose that damn attitude. Second of all were worrying about you two like hell and you wanna come in here and not tell us what's going on?!"

"You never hold back, Roman," Hunter said, "You've always been the first one to tell all of us what's on your mind. Why aren't you telling us now?"

"Maybe it's because I don't trust you guys anymore," Roman said quietly, "I mean think about it. We were friends. You guys are gonna end up choosing sides..."

"Alright!" Paige said looking at him, "Roman you should know, better than any of us, that what goes on between the eleven of us stays between us. As for choosing sides, I promise you no one is going to do that. Why? Because both of you are being highly ridiculous. Now explain."

We all stay quite for a minute.

Roman sighed, "You want me to explain, but I barley know myself."

He paused for a minute and ran a hand through his hair.

"As far as I can remember," Roman said, "I've never been interested in her. She was the girl that I didn't want anything to do with. You teased me and claimed that I liked her, but I really didn't... But then there was that night at the party, then there was the skating rink, then there was the afternoon of my trial... My feeling started getting all mixed up."

"Do you like her?" Punk asked, "As in you have real feelings."

He sighed, "I don't know..."

I noticed that he was rubbing his index finger over his thumb. He does that when he's lying...

"So," Naomi said while taking a deep breath, "You only wanted me for sex?"

"That's not what I said," He said to her.

"That's basically what you said," Naomi said while raising her voice some.

"And you'd worry about me hurting her," Randy mumbled.

Roman glared at him, "Because you will! Randy, you move on to another girl every other week! And she's gonna be the exact same when she gets with you!"

"She would not!" Randy shouted, "She's different. She's different from all the other girls!"

"You don't think I realized that!" Roman shouted back.

"You know I don't get you," Randy said while glaring at him, "You change so fucking much. A couple weeks ago, you hated her. Yesterday, you claim you like her. Today, you don't fucking know!"

Roman groaned but stayed quite and ran his hand through his hair.

Randy took a deep breath, "I ask you. I asked you if you liked her, and you said no. You can't just magically change your mind about that kinda stuff."

"I didn't magically change my mind about anything," Roman said quietly.

They both stay quite for a moment.

"Naomi," I say, "How do you even feel about this..."

She closed her eyes and sighed, "It's frustrating. Most girls want boys to fight over them, and I don't know why... I'm not even sure of ones fighting for me, the other one is just confusing me. I used to know what I wanted... And now I don't."

We all stay quite for a minute.

"So Randy," Stephanie asked, "You have feelings for Naomi?"

Randy slowly nodded.

"And Roman," Steph asked again, "You have feelings for her as well?"

Roman slowly shook his head.

"So you don't like her?" Dean asked him.

"I could never like her," Roman said while closing his eyes, "Never in my life will I ever like her."

"Then why are we even going through this?" Naomi asked while standing up, "I don't need you playing with my emotions, Reigns."

Randy just shook his head, "Why would you do that? You know I really like her."

Roman looked at Randy, "You really like her?"

Randy nodded, "Yes. And it pissed me off that you want to say that you don't like her, when you claim to like her, but then again you don't. Your confusing everyone."

Everyone stays quite. Roman stood up but still stayed quite.

"Well let me make something less confusing," Roman said, "Randy you like her, a lot. And everyone keeps asking me if I like her, and I don't."

We all stay quite as he walks closer to Naomi.

"I'm Sorry Randy," Roman said quietly, "But you may like her a lot... But I skipped over liking."

He turns towards Naomi, "I fell in love with her."

If it was even possible, the room seemed to get more quite.

"Randy, can you say that?" Roman asked, "Are you willing to say your in love with her? It's a strong word. It's a word that can completely destroy you, once you accept it."

I look at Randy and see him looking at the ground.

"How can you even claim to be in love with me?" Naomi asked, "How do I know your not lying? How do I know your not trying to trick me?"

Roman sighed, "I figured you'd say that. And I know I'm going to have to prove myself... But Naomi I do. I wouldn't tell you I did, if I didn't."

She shook her head and opened her mouth, but he cut her off.

"Naomi Fatu," he said, "I love you. I Roman Reigns, am in love with you. I know I was a dumbass, I still am, for not realizing it earlier. I didn't want to admit to anyone, not even myself... But your on my mind constantly. I can't stop thinking about you."

"Roman-" Naomi started but he cut her off.

"No, Naomi," he said to her, "I not only love you but I need you. I need you more than anything. It literally hurts to not call you mine. It hurts everywhere. I'm not trying to sit here and play around with you anymore Naomi. You're my out, your my distraction, your my star, your my air, your my sunlight, you mean just about everything to me, but your not mine."

"I don't see anyone else Naomi," Roman said and I heard his voice crack, "I can't imagine myself with anyone else and I won't. Do you know what I'm willing to do for you? Naomi I will drop everything I have, everything I try to strive for, for you. I'd give up everything to make you happy. I never want to see you frown, or cry, or be upset."

I see Naomi biting her lip and I know she's trying to keep her self together.

"Naomi what's it gonna take?" Roman asked, "What's it gonna take to show that I love you? Cause I'll do it, I promise. Please just give me one chance."

Naomi takes a shakes breath, "I can't Roman."

"Why?" Roman asked sounding defeated.

"I just can't," Naomi said as she quickly wiped away a tear, "I can't make a decision right now... You gotta understand that..."

Everyone was dead silent for a while.

Roman turned towards towards Dean and I saw tears rolling down his cheeks and I just about started crying myself.

"I need the keys, Dean." Roman said to him.

Dean shook his head, "I'll drive you."

Roman shrugged and walked out the living room.

"Come on guys," Deans said while point to Seth, Punk, Hunter and Randy, "We're going over to our house."

"Why are all of going?" Punk asked, but still stood up.

Dean sighed, "Cause I've never in my life seen him that upset. I may need some help."

He turns to me as the rest of the guys leave the room, "I'll text you later. You stay here and help with Naomi alright?"

I nod and hug him quickly, "See you later."

As soon as he leaves I walk over to Naomi and sit down.

She gave me a small smile but I could see the tears in her eyes.

Paige, AJ, and Stephanie all came and sat by us.

I wrap a arm around her, "It's gonna be ok."

She takes a shaky breath as tears roll down her cheeks, "I feel like such a bad person."

"Why?" AJ asked softly while squeezing her knee.

"Because, I don't know how I feel about him." She said while wiping away a tear, "And he just confessed everything. And Randy was still here...."

She placed her head in her hands and I was her shoulders shake.

I pull her closer to me and hug her, "It's ok. Everything's gonna work out."

She cries for a while and we all stay right next to her.

After a little while she stops and looks up at us.

"I'm sorry guys..." She said while wiping her face, "We were suppose to have fun, but that didn't happen."

"Oh hush," Paige said, "You were hurting. And we're gonna be there for you, but like the boys are there for Roman. We're gonna get through this, love."

We all nod and she gives us a small smile. It was different seeing Naomi so vulnerable. She was normally the strongest out of us all.

"And we can still have fun," AJ said while getting up to walk into the kitchen then came back with two gallon containers of Cookies and Cream ice cream and spoons.

"We can still stuff our faces and watch
rom-coms! I suggest 50 first dates." AJ said.

Naomi gives a small laugh, "We watch that one all the time."

"What about Click?" Stephanie asked.

"The ending of that make me cry," I say, "But I'm up to watch it."

"Click it is." Paige said as she went to go get the movie from her room.

"It's gonna be ok," I tell Naomi one more time. She gives me another small smile.

'Well I hope it'll be...' I think to myself. Cause honestly, out of all the years of our friendships... It's never been like this before, and it's didn't feel like it was getting any better any time soon...

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Chapter 24 is up. It's pretty long I guess... I think I could have wrote it better but it's alright I guess.

Ok ok ok, lately I've been extremely busy which leads me to the important stuff.

Important thing number one.

In two weeks I'm starting Summer Band practice. The hours for that are from 8 am to 4 pm, Monday-Friday until school starts back. So i can't update everyday. I have to change my updating schedule. So for the next two weeks, I'll try to update once a day, but when Summer Band starts, I'll only be able to update on Saturdays and maybe Sunday's. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I'm not gonna quit marching band (which shield-amrore will be doing with me this year, she's a Fishy and I'm a sophomore) to update.

I think that all the important stuff, now on to other things.

I use to have another account ok? But I'm about to delete it cause I don't want it anymore. But I'm transferring two books. One is a short story about Shield , and it WILL BE UP TODAY! Like the entire story. The next one won't be put up for a while, but I'm also a HUGE Greek mythology fan (don't judge me) and I had a High School about them, but I won't update that one for a long while.

But the short story is the exact same one, maybe you've read it before on my other account maybe not. But it's about Roman telling his Daughter, Joelle about why her 'Uncle Seth' won't be coming over for thanksgiving. It's just a cute little 4 shot. I wrote it when I was immature, so don't judge it, but check it out if you'd like.

I think that's about it.

I love you guys soooo much! I'll try to update more tomorrow.

Love you guys!

Bye bye!
