Two days passed and Nick realized how much he misses Kayla. He didn't seem to smile at photoshoots and performances. He also did not manage to answer questions at press conferences. Nick couldn't wait to get back to Florida. Mean while, back in Florida, Kayla was still sick, but was getting better. Kayla heard the phone rang, and she knew nobody was home to answer it, so she let the machine pick it up. "Hey Kay, I hope you're feeling better. I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for yelling at you. I was out of line. I was just confused. I really missed you and I want to see you when I get back tomorrow. We really need to talk.. see ya!" Nick left her a message on the machine. Kayla started to cry when she heard his voice. Inside, she knew that she misses him too.
Nick and the guys got off the plane and rushed to their van. "Can you drop me off at Kay's house?" Nick ask the driver. "No.. I want you to go back to the apartment and rest.. you seem really tired lately. Look at you! You look weak, pale, and sleepy. Louis, turn left and head back to the apartment," Kevin instructed the driver. Kevin was really worried about Nick. He acted as an older bro to Nick and was always looking out for him. "I bet you don't want to see her like this." "Kevin's right," Brian agreed. Nick fell asleep the minute he got to the bed. Brian closed the door to his room and took his keys and headed outside.
He drove to Kayla's house and found Trisha and Kayla sitting on the front porch. Brian greeted them. "Hi ladies!" "Hey Brok, what bring you here?" Kayla asked. "Umm..Kay?" Brian hestitately asked. "Yeah." "I got to talk to you alone," Brian stared at Trisha. "Hey, I'm sorry. I should be leaving. See ya. Nice to meet you Brok," Trisha headed to her car and drove off. "It's Nick..he's miserable without you. I've never seen him like this. He's gonna get really sick if he continues like this," Brian took a seat next to Kayla on the swing chair and sighed. "Is he sick?" "He's getting some rest right now. Well, I don't know what it is but you gotta tell him. He's like a little brother to me. As far as I can tell, he's still a very young 18 years old teenager. And for the first time I see him serious at something, something he puts his heart to. And it's you," Brain explained. "I know, it's not him.. it's me." She cleared her throat to control it from shaking. "I don't deserve him Brian... I don't deserve him," she repeated. Kayla and Brian talked for about half and hour. "I'm pretty sure he'll understand," Brian said, "are you ready to tell him that?" "No.. he won't be able to handle it," Kayla said with tears falling down. Brian hugged her.
Another day passed, and Nick decided to go see Kayla. When Kayla answered the door and saw Nick, she didn't wanted to have eye contact with him. "Hi." he saidw with a low voice. "Hi," she replied, "how are you?" "Fine." "That's good," she felt awkward talking to him now. "Hey, umm.. I'd like to take you somewhere," he said. "Okay."
They both got into the car and Nick drove off. He drove to the beach and parked the car. He got out of the car and started walking along the waves in the sand. Kayla got out and catched up to him. The waves were loud and so they had to scream. "Nick! Why are you acting like this?!? Why are you being a kid?" she yelled. "Is that what I am? A kid? You really do see me as a kid!" he yelled out at the top of his lungs. "No! I don't mean it that way! Listen to me!" Kay tried to explain but the wind and the waves were carrying her voice to another place.
As mad at he were before, Nick marched toward the streets, where it was a lot quieter. Kayla followed him from behind, crying. "Okay, you wanna know it!" Kayla started to cry, but was talking at the same time. "I was raped Nick! Are you happy? I was shamed, I'm scared!" Kayla dropped on her knees on the sand crying louder than ever. Now she's terrify of what Nick's gonna think of her. "You what?" he asked, not clear on what he heard before. "I was raped.. I was raped!" she screamed and cried. Nick stood there with his eyes wide open. He couldn't belive it. He was sad, scared and mad all at the same time. He felt so confuse and didn't know what to do. "Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! Why!!!!" he screamed and ran off crying like a kid. Kayla saw him running and his cries got worser. She put her head in the sand and cried her eyes out. Nick was still running. He didn't know where he was running to. He just needed to be alone. "What was I thinking? Why did I ran away? Kay needs me to comfort her.. why am I so useless and mean to her?" Nick asked himself.
Nick came back to look for Kayla but she wasn't there. He felt the spot where she was at and saw a wet spot. It must have been her tears. He promised himself that he will never make her cry again.
