�I�ll go Theresa.  But think about this.  I�ve been with this group for 10 years!  I know about the media, you think by now I don�t know to deal with them?  I don�t think you�re thinking about me, I think you�re thinking about yourself.  You don�t want to be in the spotlight.  And you know what, that�s okay.  You don�t have to be.  I�ll see ya later.� I heard him walk out and just cried.  I�ll admit it, I loved him.  My first true love.  I shook my head and felt my way into my house.  I walked up the stairs and into my room.  I flopped down on the bed and cried my heart out.

I flipped the TV on and heard MTV come on. 
�Hey Nick, what�s up?�
�Oh nothing at all Carson.�
�Thank you for appearing on TRL.�
�It�s always my pleasure.�
�So, give us the details.  You got a girlfriend yet?�
�No, not quite yet.  There�s this one girl though, she�s like the sweetest, but we�re just really great friends.�
�That�s what they always say.�  Carson laughed and so did Nick.  I sighed and counted the days since he left.  12! 
�Get off your ass and go see him.  Tell him you love and you can�t be without him,� I told myself.  I picked up my phone and bought a ticket to fly out to New York that night.  I called a cab to see if someone could pick me and said they would be there in two hours.  I thanked them and quickly ran upstairs.  I quickly dialed a cell phone I new by heart.
�Brian here.�
�B, it�s Theresa.  Listen��
�Fuck no!�
�Brian?�
�What makes you think I�m going to listen to someone like you!  Nick told us what happened, please!�
�Brian!  Shut the fuck up and listen to me God damn it.  I�m flying up to New York to tell him how stupid I was, do you think you could pick me up?�
�Oh�.�
�B, please?  His my world.�
�Okay, when�s your flight coming in?�  I gave him all the information and quickly hung up.

I shifted my weight and glanced at Brian.  I could tell he smiled and turned and walked away.  I knocked on the door and prayed that he would let me in.
�Theresa?� Nick said.
�Hi.  Um, can I come in?�
�Please do.�  He grabbed my hand and walked me over to the couch.  �What are you doing here?�  I reached out for his face and ran my fingers over it.
�Nick, forgive me.  I was stupid.  You don�t understand how much I love you.  You�re my world!  I was scared cause I wanted to be normal.  I didn�t want the media finding out and just ruining everything.�
�Trust me, everything will be fine.�  I felt his lips on mine and I wrapped my arms around him.  �You�re here now, that�s the most important thing.�
�It was Now or Never.�
