When Nick and Britney got to his house there was a car in the driveway. "Who is that?" Brit asked.
"Uh, I don't know" Nick opened his front door. "Hello?" He shouted as Britney shut it behind her.
"Hello?" A voice called back.
"Christa?" Nick shouted excitedly. Christa was his best friend. She went away on vacation, to California, and he hadn't seen her.
"Yeah Nick, it's me" Christa laughed as she ran up to him and gave him a hug.
He hugged her back and smiled as her and Britney hugged. "Hey guys, I uh kinda have to meet up with an old friend, I'm sorry Chris, but we can only meet up tonight, do you think you could hang out with Brit a while?" Nick asked, so unsure about what was going to happen.
"Yeah Nick, go ahead we'll be fine" Christa smiled as Nick ran upstairs and jumped in the shower.

"Why do you have this?" Amanda asked as she jumped off the couch and held out the pill bottle in her hand, towards Howie.
"What? What's wrong?" AJ stood next to her, trying to see what was in her hand.
"Howie! Why the hell was THIS in your pocket?" Amanda yelled.
"It uh, I put it in my pocket earlier when I had a headache." Howie said quickly.
"No, I doubt that. Is this why you were laying on the floor when Amanda came home? You are trying to kill yourself aren't you?!" AJ asked. "AREN"T YOU!!!" He yelled when he got no response from Howie.

Karen got off her plane with a wierd feeling in her gut. She didn't like lying to her best friends, or anyone else for that matter, but she had to get help for her problems. She knew she had to stop beating her sister, and she had to stop mourning her loss, to move on with her life. She went to baggage claim and got her suitcase, she was so lost in her thoughts she didn't even notice what was going on around her.

Nick looked over at the digital clock as he combed his hair. 6:48. He combed out his hair and put some gel in it. Once he was done getting ready he went downstairs and said goodbye to Christa and Britney. He climbed into his car and got Amy's directions out. He followed them and soon he was at her house. He went up and rang the doorbell, a minute later Amy appeared, with a smile on her face.
"Ready?" He asked as he looked her up and down.
"Let me grab my coat and I'll be right out" She replied as she disappeared. A minute later she was back and he was helping her into his car.
"So, where are we going?" Amy asked as Nick started the car up.
"Well, we are going to that new cafe that just opened up" Nick looked over at her and smiled.
"Ooh, a cafe"
~~~
"So Nick" Amy said as she took the last drink of her mountain dew. They had been talking for a while and got to know each other again.
"Amy" Nick flashed her his oh-so-famous Carter smile. Without a word Nick stood up and went to Amy's side of the table. He bent down in front of her, and for the next few minutes they sat there starring into each others' eyes. Nick leaned in closer to her and gave her a hard but passionate kiss.

"Yes okay!!! I am!!!! Now leave me the fuck alone!!!!" Howie yelled as he stormed out of the house.
"AJ, wha-" Amanda started but ended up running into the bathroom and throwing up.
"Are you okay?" AJ asked as he rubbed her back.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I have a doctors appointment tommarow so I'll know soon what is wrong with me" She stood and wipped off her face with a cold wash-clothe AJ had given her.
"Okay good, no let's try to find Howie"
~~~
"Mmmm Nick," Amy moaned as Nick pulled away.
"Come on" He took a hundred out of his wallet and layed it on the table as he grabbed Amy's hand.
"Nick you do know that it's probablly only 5.00 right?" Amy let him take her hand and stood up.
"I don't care I want you" He said as they left the cafe.
When they got back to Amy's house he turned off his car ad looked over at her. She was smiling over at him. They got out of the car and met in front of it. Kissing, they made their way up to her door. Amy unlocked it as Nick deepened the kiss.
