Charlotte: I was thinking about you and Nick and I really think you should just ask him if he liked Simone and get it all out in the open. The truth is always the best way to go. TTYL.

I sat there thinking about that. Char had never had a boyfriend so she had no prior experience dealing with it, but what she said made sense. Then the phone rang and Nick’s name flashed on the caller ID.

“Hey, cutie,” he said when I answered. The first time he had ever called me that I swooned. Now I wondered why I didn’t get called beautiful like I had heard him call Reagan back when they were dating.

“Did you get your homework done?” he asked.

No, I sat here going over whether or not you still have a thing for a former TV star I could never compete with.

“Pretty much. You?”

“Yup. All finished.”

“Do you sometimes wonder if people ever stop loving each other?” I asked.

“Huh? Is something weird going on with your parents?” he asked.

“No, I just was listening to this song tonight and it was saying that you never stop loving someone and it got me thinking.”

“Okay…well, I guess I don’t know.”

“What do you think about it though?”

“I’ve only been in love, like, once, so it doesn’t exactly make me an expert,” he said.

Was he talking about Reagan or Simone, or some other girlfriend? My gut told me not to go along with this line of questioning, but my mouth had other ideas.

“Do you still care about that person?” I asked.

“Well, yeah.”

My heart stopped. I hadn’t expected him to say that and I also didn’t expect myself to follow that up with another stupid probing question.

“Did you ever have a crush on Simone?” I said. I couldn’t believe I had blurted it out.

“Why are you asking me this?”

“Did you? Yes or no?” I asked, biting the inside of my lip.

“Well…yeah, a long time ago. I liked her, but she was going out with someone else and she wasn’t into me anyway.”

“So if it weren’t for Chase or Connor or whomever, you two would be together?”

“Hadley, why are you asking these questions? Honestly, I don’t know. She has always been into guys older than her, so no, I doubt it. I think she just saw me as like a brother or a friend. We never dated. Ever.”

“But you wanted to.”

“Sort of, but that was before I ever met you.”

“Did you…were you in love with her?”

“Hadley, why does this matter? It’s in the past. I’m with you now,” he said.

“I need to know.”

“Yeah, I guess…”

My hand acted independently of my brain and hit end call. I sat there staring at my phone as my heart pounded so loud my ears were vibrating. Nick called me back, but I couldn’t bring myself to answer. He had been in love with her and he said earlier that he had only been in love once. It was one thing if she was his first crush, or even his first love, but his only love? That I couldn’t handle right now—or maybe ever.
