Chapter 19
She was worried about Nick, was he ok? Did he have food? Was he freezing? He hadn't called in a while and she was starting to panic. She hated the not knowing, the wondering what he was doing and if he was alright. And most of all, she hated that Nyla was with him.
There was no telling what that girl would do if she got him alone, that was for sure. Celeste didn't trust her, never really had. She'd always been nice to Celeste, never gave her reason to be nasty to her, other than the fact she'd broken up with Nick and broke his heart. What was worse, she never told him why she broke up with him, it sounded a little suspicious to her. Like she was trying to hide something she didn't want him to know.
Now that they were out together, Celeste was sure she'd try to make moves on him. There was nothing she could do to stop her now either, it was driving her crazy. There was no telling what lies she was telling Nick about her.
Groaning, she reached over and picked up the phone, dialing quickly.
"Hello?"
"Jane? It's Celeste."
"Oh! Hello Celeste."
"Hi, have you heard from Nick lately?"
"Not since a few days ago when he called, why?"
"I'm just worried about him. He called me then too, but he hasn't since. I'm wondering if he's ok."
"I'm sure he's fine dear, he told me he'd call if there were some emergency."
"I know, but still. Oh well, just wanted to check. Sorry to disturb you."
"It's no problem honey, I'll let ya know if I hear anything."
"Ok, bye Jane."
"Bye honey."
Celeste hung up the phone and then stared down at it. Standing, she walked up to her room quickly, grabbing her address book and starting back down. Opening to the page, she dialed quickly.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Scott? It's Celeste."
"Hey Celeste!"
"Hi, I was just wondering, have you heard from Nyla?"
"Yeah, a few days ago actually."
"What did she say?"
"Just that her and Nick were stranded in some mansion. Why?"
"No reason, just wondering. I'm kinda worried about Nick."
"I'm sure they're fine. They're together, they'll be alright."
She wouldn't tell him that's what worried her the most. "Alright, well thanks Scott."
"No problem. Hey, I didn't think you'd keep my number."
"Yeah, I wrote it in my address book actually. When we were giving out our numbers to each other that time for bowling, it seemed kinda odd at the time. Came in handy I suppose."
"Yeah, well talk to ya later."
"Bye Scott."
"Bye Celeste."
She hung up and started back up to her room.
