“Um. Hi, I’m doing just fine. And how are you doing Nick?” Alicia said smiling in a shaky voice.
“I’m doing fine. I’ve just been promoting my solo album. You know same old same old.” Nick said still not sure why everything felt so weird between them. They had promised to be friends, but it didn’t feel that way.
*FLASHBACK*
“Listen Alicia, I know that we’ve been together for a while but I can’t be with you if you can’t make a commitment. I need to know that you will always be there and that you’ll always support me.”
“Nick you know that I’ll always be there and support you what do you want me to do?!” Alicia screamed almost in tears”
“I don’t know. I feel like we need time apart. I don’t think we should be together anymore,” Nick said looking down as if he was going to cry.
“No Nick please don’t leave me. You’re my other half. I need you.” Alicia said crying as he walked out of the room.
Instead of running after him she just sat there crying and saying I love just below a whisper. Little did she know that was all she had to say to him in order for him to stay.
*END FLASHBACK*
“That’s cool. I heard your single “Do I Have To Cry For You” on the radio. It’s a pretty good song. I enjoyed it.” Alicia said while thinking in her head why she just couldn’t say to him that she was sorry and that she loved him more than life itself.
“Thanks. That’s actually one of the songs that I wrote myself. I’m pretty proud of it. I wrote it from the heart.” Nick said starting to look up at Alicia.
“That’s great Nick. I’m really happy for you.” Alicia said as she looked up at Nick almost in tears wanting to be held in his strong arms once again. Where she belonged.
“Thanks Alicia but I should really get going. I have to perform in about an hour.” Nick said sounding disappointed. He wouldn’t admit it but he really really missed her. Everything about her.
Nick started to walk towards his dressing room with Alicia just standing there looking at him. She couldn’t believe that she had just given up her one chance to tell him that she loved him. She was so stubborn and was afraid that if she did tell him it would make everything even worse. All she could think about was how she blew the only chance she made of had to tell him because of her fear. And as she watched him walk away she turned around and started to cry while walking to her car. Would he ever know that she loved him?
