*Brian�s P.O.V.*
Nick�s been gone for four hours. I know it�s my fault. I shouldn�t have done and said what I did. When I saw what happened to Nick, I was about to have a heart-attack. Am I doing something wrong here? Not letting Nick talk to Lalig? I mean, she IS seven years younger than him, but I can see the way he�s looking at her. He�s looking at her, just like I look at Leighanne.
Anyways, I�m reading a book in AJ�s guestroom and waiting for Leighanne to come. I want to make love to her tonight. I missed her, she�s been in Florida this past week so I didn�t even get to kiss her.
When she got out of the bathroom, she went straight to bed, not even talking to me. I snuggled closer to her and started kissing her neck, but she pushed me away.
�Leave me alone Brian!� She said,
�What? Baby, I haven�t seen for almost a week, I missed you. Come here.�
�No, Brian! Leave me alone, I don�t want to talk to you, until you take the stick out of you ass!� She yelled!
�Leigh, what did I do?�
�What did you do? Don�t act dumb with me Brian, I can�t believe you did that to your own best friend and daughter, if I was here, I would�ve kicked your ass!�
�Don�t tell me you disagree with me!� I yelled back, I couldn�t believe it. �She�s fucking seven years younger than him!!�
�And I�m fucking six years older than you!! So, you�re dad should make us get a divorce huh?�
�Look, I wanted to make things right and I know I did the right...�
�The RIGHT thing? Nick is fucking missing! He�s gotten so fucking skinny that AJ�s fatter than him! Lalig doesn�t even feel like talking to anybody! She thinks that Nick left her like that because he was playing with her feeling, which in reality, he�s in love with her but can�t even talk to her because her dad threatened him! What the hell happened to you Brian? You want to make things right? Go talk to Lalig, tell her what YOU did. And then go find Nick and make them get back together. Until you do that, I don�t want to talk to you!�
�And how the hell would I find him?� I gave up, I know it�s useless to argue with Leighanne.
�You know better than anyone where he could be.� I sighed and left the house to find Nick. She was right, I knew where Nick was, that�s why I wasn�t worried. The other guys were worried though. I didn�t even bother to tell them where he is. When I got to the beach, forty minutes away from AJ�s house, just as expected, Nick was sitting up on the hill at his favorite spot. When I approached him, he had his arms and head on his knees and he was crying. Right then, I realized how wrong I had been. What the hell was wrong with me. How can I think that Nick�s going to hurt Lalig, when he was the one who always got hurt from his old girlfriends. I shook my head and sat down next to him, hoping he would forgive me.
�Nicky...?� He jumped startled.
�Brian? What the hell are you doing here?� He asked.
�Look, Nicky I...�
�Don�t you call me Nicky! You know how I hate that name. And I asked you what the hell are you doing here? Go away, leave me alone!� He yelled. I was taken back. He never yelled at me like that... But I guess I deserved it.
�Ok, look. I want to apologize for what I did and said. I�m sorr...�
�You think, by just saying sorry I�m going to forgive you?� He asked, more angry.
�Could you stop interrupting me? Just fucking listen to me! If you were in my shoes, you would have done the same thing!� I told him, my voice cracking, �There something I didn�t tell any of you guys. Before we adopted Lalig, me and Leigh tried to have a kid... a lot. After 2 years of trying, we decided to go to the doctors to see what was up. The doctor told us... He told us... That, we can�t have children at... All� By then I was crying hysterically, Nick was holding me as I was crying on his shoulder. I continued, �When we saw on the news that Lalig lost her family, we jumped in the idea of adopting her. So, when you guys got together... Well almost, I didn�t want her to get hurt and... And in the process I didn�t really think about how you would feel, I�m sorry.�
