| �Oh my god�� he whispered over and over to himself. His pillow was soaked from his crying. He felt empty and horrible, but he knew he had done the right thing. But then, why did he feel like his life was a living black hole? *** �Nick�� she called out softly to herself, burying her face in her hands. Her tears were like a river that had no end, just like her new misery. Now she knew first handedly what Jessie felt like when she broke up with JC. She knew now how awful she felt, how worthless her life seemed, how her life seemed to spiral out of control, and most of all, how much love could hurt you. �Heather?� She glanced at the source of the voice. It was AJ. She squeezed her eyes shut. �What�s wrong sweetie?� he asked, kneeling down next to her. She stopped her sharp inhaling and stuttered, �Nick b-broke up with me.� AJ just stared. �Why?� �I don�t know! We were fine one minute, then he breaks up with me. What did I do wrong?� �Nothing,� AJ managed to get out. He knew that Nick loved her. Maybe as much as he did. �You did everything right.� AJ pulled her to him, rubbing her back hoping to make her feel better, although he knew it was useless. She sobbed uncontrollably. �It�s ok,� he assured her. �No it�s not!� she shouted angrily. �I loved him so much AJ. What the hell happened?� �Trust me. I know how it feels.� �When have YOU lost someone you loved?� she asked between her tears. �I can�t remember any time when you lost somebody really important to you.� �But I did,� he said. �You just didn�t see it.� �I would�ve AJ I know it.� �You just didn�t see it because that person is you.� Heather looked up at him. �You never lost me.� �It seemed like I did.� �You�ll never lose me.� �Maybe I won�t. � *** �Nick?� The man�s brown eyes looked at the limp figure on the bed. Then he saw the dried tears on his baby cheeks. �Nick?� He was asleep. Howie gave up and left him alone. Howie headed toward Brian�s room. He knocked softly on the heavy door. The door swung open and there stood Brian, who must�ve just gotten out of the shower, for his wavy hair was wet and dark. �Hey what�s up?� �Have you seen Nick lately?� Howie asked him, stepping inside the hotel room. �The last time I saw him he was with Heather.� �Hmm�� �Why? What�s going on?� �Nick�s in his room right now, and from what I could tell, cried himself to sleep. I am wondering WHY,� Howie said. Brian thought about it. Then he looked horrified. �You don�t think�� Howie nodded. �Yes I DO think.� �But why? Doesn�t she love him?� Brian asked, confused. Howie shrugged. �But what do I know?� �We have to ask AJ. He probably knows. After all, Heather and him ARE best friends.� Howie watched as Brian picked up the phone and dialed the numbers. �Hey AJ? Yeah it�s me� Yeah we were wondering about something. Did Heather and Nick break up? Uh huh� Wait a second. She what? HE did? But then why was he crying?� Long pause. �Oh man. Yeah. I got it. I�ll tell Howie. I can�t believe this� I didn�t say any of this was your fault! It�s not your fault! AJ, stop. Stop RIGHT now. You couldn�t help what Nick did. He probably wanted you to have her. Just� Ok. Ok. I got it AJ. Just stay put.� Brian hung up the phone. �What happened?� Howie asked, his curiosity piquing at the interesting phone call. Brian sighed. �I think you might have to sit.� �I already am.� �Ok. Here goes nothing�� *** ��Then Nick decides to break up with her so AJ could have her, just because Nick saw him crying about it. Now they�re both in their hotel rooms, crying,� Brian finished. �Wow. Do you think-� �Hey guys. What�s up?� Kevin asked, coming into the room. Brian groaned. �I�ll do it,� Howie volunteered. �Ok. So this all started when�� |
