Nick looked at Stephanie. He could tell she was confused and upset.
"I'm leaving." Nick said standing up and heading towards the door.
"Nick, don't go!" Stephanie pleaded grabbing Nick's hand. Nick pulled away violently and shook his head no.
"Why should I stay? Huh? So I can make a bigger ass of myself?!?" Nick tried to control his temper, but he just couldn't any longer. "You played me! You played me so fucking bad! Bye Stephanie!" he yelled slamming the door.
Nick drove straight to the hospital. He was mad. He wasn't sure at who though. All he knew, was he was very angry. He made his way to Brian's room.
"Hey Nick." Brian greeted Nick, as he walked in the room.
"Hey to you too." Nick grumbled.
"What's wrong buddy?" Brian asked. He could tell Nick was upset about something. "Wait, aren't you suppose to be with Steph?" Brian asked wondering what had happened at Steph's.
"That's what's wrong. Since when did you start liking Stephanie?" Nick asked getting angry again.
"She told you?" Brian asked avoiding the question.
"Damn straight! At least on of you did." Nick said staring at Brian intently.
"Sorry, I didn't want to hurt you." Brian apologized. Just then something hit him. "What did you tell her?"
"Just stuff about being played, feeling like an ass, and just crap like that. I sorta lost my temper too." Nick told Brian.
"And you just left?" Brian asked getting worried.
"Um, yeah" Nick answered.
"By herself?"
"What the hell Brian?" Nick said getting angry, at Brian's questions. What did he think it was twenty questions?
"Dammit Nick! You left someone who's depressed, by herself, just after you broke up with her? What are you an idiot?" Brian yelled. He knew Nick didn't think at times, but what if something happened to Stephanie? How could he go on?
"Oh no." Nick whispered. Brian reached over and dialed Stephanie's phone number.
After Nick left, Stephanie walked into the kitchen crying. What was she going to do? Nick just walked out on her. She didn't have any friends, and now no boyfriend. Stephanie opened the drawer and took out a knife. She looked at the knife in her hand, and the tears started to fall again. Stephanie walked up to her room. "I try so hard to fit in, and I can't do anything right. Why should I bother living if I screw everything up?" she asked herself. Stephanie turned around. On her desk were pictures of everyone she cared about. The first picture she saw was of her family. She picked it up. "I love them so much." she said aloud. She did love her family, but she wasn't accepted because of her family. that was one of the reasons she tried to kill herself before. "I can't even do that right!" Stephanie scolded herself. Then she saw a picture f her and the guys around Brian's hospital bed. Stephanie sat down the knife and picked up the phone beside her bed, and dialed the first person who came to mind.
"Hello?"
"AJ! It's Steph. I can't be alone. Can you come over?" Stephanie asked as soon as AJ answered the phone. She didn't know why she called him, they weren't very close.
"Of course girl. I'll be right over." he told Stephanie. AJ wondered where Nick was, but he decided not to ask.
"Oh thank you so much!" She was so glad AJ could come over. She didn't know what she would do, if he didn't come over.
"No problem." AJ said and hung. The whole drive, AJ couldn't figure out what was so worng, that would cause Stephanie to call him in a panic. And where was Nick? AJ tried calling him on his cell phone, but there was no answer. Nick was suppose to be with Stephanie, and he for some reason he wasn't, and AJ could not figure that reason out for the life of him. When AJ got to Stephanie's house, he walked right in.
"Steph, I'm here!" he shouted. Stephanie ran to him and hugged him. He saw that she was crying.
"Oh, AJ it's so bad!" she cried. AJ stroked her hair and whispered,
"Shhh, stop crying." but all he could think was, what happened?
