"Yea, I'm ready, be out in sec" Whit yelled back, her voice echoing through out the room. She was fully ready, just sitting there thinking. She opened her duffel bag, looking for chapstick and ran across a picture of Nick. After their 'fight' they hadn't spoken for a week, then he'd finally broke down and called her, still they weren't back to normal. She wished he was there right now, standing in the doorway giving her one of those warped grins.

"I don't wanna feel The way that I do
I just wanna be
Right here with you
I don't wanna see
See us apart
I just wanna say it straight from the heart
I miss you"

Whit sang along to Westlife's song 'Miss You' as she walked down the corridor leading to the main backstage area. She adjusted her clothing, this time she had bright pink glittery pants that appeared to be leather, and a black shirt that was long sleeve, but showed most of her stomach. She made sure the soles of her shoes weren't slick as she positioned her headpeice into the right place and popped her knuckles.

"I didn't mean to let you down You have to believe it
I don't know what went through my mind
But now I can see

That I waited too long To tell you how much it matters
Just to be right here with you
But I couldn't think of anything better
I should have told you so"

Nick sang along to a Westlife song himself as he drove the Durango down the interstate, tapping his thumbs on the steering wheel, matching with the beat.

Whit smiled as she looked around the stage, the stage was a center set. Her last scheduled song was the cover 'When You Walked Into My Life' it was the only cover song she'd kept in her show. The song that had made her popular was 'I See You Lookin' At Me', and it would have made more sense to end the show with that, but she wanted a slow song. Running her fingers through her hair she began on the lyrics, for a while they had explaind her own life, and that was the whole purpose of music.

"I've waited all this time Counting minutes as they pass
Wishing for the best
And just when my hopes were wearing thin
You turned my heart to love again

Like a miracle out of the blue You rescued me like the angels do
You shook the heavens
And cracked the sky
When you walked
When you walked into my life

When you appeared like sight to the blind Like music to my ears
Like reason to a rhyme
And just when I thought my chance was gone
Love came to me with open arms

Like a miracle out of the blue You rescued me like the angels do
You shook the heavens
And cracked the sky
When you walked
When you walked into my life"

Whit paused while the piano took it's turn to play the chords, right before the bridge began. Whit was now standing in the front of the stage, awaiting her turn to sing the lyrics again, when the screaming that was usually there grew enormously louder. "You spoke my name and the world began again-" Whit cut off when she heard another voice join her's.

"You touched my heart and it opened" the voice that joined her's sang out. Whit didn't even have to turn around, she knew exactly who it was. But, she did turn around, to meet eyes with Nick who was now only a few feet away from her. They read the look in each other's eyes and their hands met.

"Like a miracle out of the blue You rescused me like the angels do
You shook the heavens
And cracked the sky
When you walked..." they sang together, walking the rotation of the stage.

"When you walked...." Nick became softer.

"When you walked......into my life...." Whit ended as the two faced one another and leaned in to share a long awaited kiss.

"I've missed you Whit" Nick whispered as they laid in the bed of her hotel room.

"I've missed you too" Whit whispered back as she rested her head on his chest, tracing circles on his chest with her fingers.

"I love you" Nick stated as he ran his fingers through her hair.

"I love you too" Whit replied as she felt his skin against hers, smiling in the darkness, so this was what she had been waiting for.
