Katherine's POV

10:37am

I was sat on my bed and Ramona was practising her guitar the next morning and I had a huge hangover. I couldn't remember much of last night, but I was guessing something had happened because Nick was ignoring my texts and calls.

I took another long drink of Lucozade and checked my phone for the thousandth time that morning.

'Mate, he's probably at a class or something.' Ramona said when she noticed me looking at my phone. 

I frowned. 'His class should be over by now if he was. Do you know what happened last night?'

'Nope, I was too busy getting it on with Kyle.' She grinned.

'Whoever he is.' I rolled my eyes.

'Oh K, he's well fit, you wouldn't believe-' She was interrupted by a knock at the door. She got up and answered it.

A few seconds later, she turned to me. 'Erm, there's someone here to see you.' She moved aside and Nick walked in. His face was impassive and he stopped in front of my bed. 

'Hey Nick.' I said casually. 

'You've got a hangover haven't you?' He narrowed his eyes.

'Yeah, why?'

'Then I'm assuming you don't even remember what happened last night.' He frowned. 'Shall I tell you? You told me you were only using Hoffman to make me jealous.' 

Oh shit.

'Nick, I-'

'Save your breath.' He cut in. 'We're over. For good.'

'What??!!' I frowned. 'Nick, please, calm down. You're angry, I get it. But you can't just say stupid stuff like that.'

'I'm not just saying it.' He glared. 'I mean it. We're done, Katherine.'

My mind felt strangely empty and I couldn't believe what was happening. 'Nick, you're not serious. Please tell me this is a joke.'

'It isn't.'

'Okay... I get it. Jokes over. I know I shouldn't have made you jealous, but-'

'It's no joke Katherine. I'm done with you. For good!' His face held no deceit. It was deadly serious.

It finally sunk in. He was dumping me. 'But.... I thought we had something. I thought you liked me.'

'Yeah, that was before! But now, all these lies, all these mood swings. It's not even the fact that you made me jealous, it's the fact that you lied to me!' He looked at me angrily. 'I can't believe anything that comes out of your mouth anymore! You never even called Joe and Daniel back. What, did you think I wouldn't find out? If you did, then you're stupid.'

'Hey!' Ramona jumped up from her bed. 'Don't call my best friend stupid!'
I'd forgotten she was here.

'Well it's true.' Nick retaliated. 'She's a liar, a bitch, and a whore.'

I stared as Ramona suddenly walked over to him and punched him right in the jaw.

'Ramona!' I gasped, scandalised. 'What the fuck?!'

'Nobody calls my best friend a whore.' She gave him a death stare.

He glared at us both. 'I was right to dump you Katherine. You've changed too much and I hate it. I won't be coming anywhere near here either, not with that psycho bitch here.' He glared at Ramona and left the room.

As soon as he left, I just collapsed on the floor and burst into tears.
Ramona forgot her anger and crouched next to me and wrapped me in a hug. 'Hey, don't, you'll ruin your mascara.'

I ignored that comment and just sobbed into her shoulder.
She rubbed my back and cuddled me til I was eventually just crying quietly.

'You shouldn't cry over that asshole.' She said. 'You deserve way better than him.'

'But I love him.' I sniffed. 'I've never felt this way for anyone else.'

'That's one thing about getting too close to people.' She said. 'It only results in getting your heart broken.'
