Chapter 9

Amanda swallowed hard right before she entered Howie's hospital room. She couldn't believe what he had done, she didn't know how bad he was suffering,at least to take it to that extreme. She just prayed he would be okay. Even though he was unconcious, she sat next to him, took his hand and talked to him.

"I'm sorry Howie," Amanda started to cry. "If I would've known you were going through this much pain, I would've gotten you help. I really wish you told me in a different way, you shouldn't be lying here unconcious, at least the Howie I know wouldn't be." Amanda moved some of Howie's hair out of his face.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the baby, I know I should've told you, and asked you what you thought about it, you would've been a wonderful father. I know that recently I have been letting you down, and I'm sorry I promise I'll fix my life up, as long as you fix yours up too." Amanda whispered.

"Nick! What are you doing here?" Amy asked as she answered her front door, surprised to see Nick.

"Amy, I need you!" Nick whispered as he stepped closer to her. He gently kissed her but she pulled away, as hard as it was.

"No Nick, why can't you understand that I wont be with you as long as your with another woman!" Amy locked her eyes on a spot on the ground.

"I'm not with her anymore, I broke it off, I like you so much better then her." Nick whispered again, getting close to Amy and kissing her.

Amy pulled away again, but not as quick. "Nick, I don't believe you" She whispered.

"How can I make you believe me?" Nick asked again kissing Amy. What he didn't know was that Karen had just pulled up and saw him kiss her. This time Amy didn't back away, but she pulled Nick into her house and shut her door behind them.

"Karen? What's wrong?" Britney asked as Karen stormed into Nick's house, crying.

"Yo-you were right. That stupid son-of-a-bitch!! I hate his fucking ass!" Karen screamed as she picked up one of Nick's lamps and threw it against a wall, causing it to shatter into tiny pieces. "Get all your shit together, we're leaving this stupid ass mother fucker's house." Karen yelled at her sister before she went around and collected all of her belongings. Before the two girls left Karen broke more of Nick's things and scribbled a note down for Nick. Karen put the engagement ring Nick gave her ontop of the note. As her and Britney were leaving Karen started to cry even more.

"Holy shit," Brian said the next day as him and Nick entered Nick's house. Nick walked around looking at the mess and cameacross Karen's ring and note.

Nick,

You, are a mother fuckin' son-of-a-bitch and you better not ever come near me or Britney EVER again, you got that? I can't believe I thought I was in love with you, your a lying, cheating, worthless dick!

Burn in hell,
Karen.

"Damn" Nick said to himself after he read the letter, Brian was walking around the house looking at all of the damage. Amy had broken up with him that night after they got intimate, so he had lost everything.
