"Holy shit!!" AJ yelled as he ran over to where Howie was. He quickly picked up Howie's wrist to see if he could feel a pulse, when he got no pulse he paniced and reached for the phone. "Damnit Howie!! Why the hell did you do this to yourself?!" He whispered as the other line answered.

~~~

Nick smiled as him and Karen pulled away. "Here, Lemme help" He took the ring out of it's case and put it on Karen's finger.

"Ohmigosh Nick!!" Karen smiled as she hugged him. "I love you so much!" She continued before they shared another long passionate kiss.

"Oh for Christ's sake, get a room!" Christa sighed as her and Britney walked over to them.

Nick broke their kiss as he heard his best friend's voice, he looked over at her and smiled, then looked at Karen. "We're engaged!"

"What?! Oh my gosh Nick that's great!!" Christa smiled as she hugged her best friend. "I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks!" Nick smiled as Christa hugged Karen.

fter AJ got to the hospital with the paramedics and Howie he found out where Howie was going and ran up to Amanda's room. He entered the room after knocking.

"Back so soon?" Amanda smiled as she looked over at AJ.

AJ looked down at the ground, how was he suppose to tell her? "Uhmm, Amanda, Adrianne. Howie is uh.." He started.

"Is he here? I wanna give him a peace of my mind for letting her get a abortion" Adrianne pointed over at Amanda.

"Well, yeah he is here, he's just uh.." AJ started.

"Well tell him to come in!" Amanda smiled, as she interrupted AJ.

"He is not here to see you" AJ whispered. As Amanda and Adrianne looked at him confused. "Amanda, he uh..when I went back to your place, he was uh..he was laying in a pool of his own blood. He didn't have a pulse."

"WHAT!?" Amanda yelled as she sat up very fast, then held her stomache in pain.

"I'm gonna go check up with the doctor on him now" AJ whispered before walking out of the room.

"YOU'RE WHAT?!" Amy yelled over the phone, Nick had just told her he was engaged.

"Amy, I-I'm sorry, I still do want to be with you, and when she is away and I have time off, I would love to be with you." Nick whispered into the phone, Karen was downstairs talking to her sister and Christa.

"Nick, I don't want to be the reason your marriage doesn't work," Amy replied, "I don't want to be the reason ANY marriage doesn't work!"

"Amy" Nick sighed. "I really DO want to be with you!! You are- you're amazing!! And I-"

"Nick, trust me, I do want to be with you too, but not when you're engaged. I'll talk to you later." Amy sighed as she hung up the phone. She set it down on the reciever and sat on her bed in shock, he WAS still the person that he was when she dated him, he hadn't changed at all. Amy layed down on her bed and started to cry, she couldn't believe she had done it again. She ended up falling head over heels and getting hurt by Nick again!
