***At Nick's***

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Nick couldn't let her go. It was impossible. Not after all that they had been through together. Once again, he had done the wrong thing. He tossed and turned all night. Finally, he gave up sleep. He felt like the whole world was closing in on him.

"She's my soul mate. And I never saw it before. Oh, Jessica. How wrong I was. I've liked other girls, but none as wonderful as you. I can't give up. I have to get you back. I don't know how, but I will. For me the sun shall not set until I have you back in my life."

Nick stayed up the rest of the night.

***The Next Morning***

Jessica awoke the next morning. She sat up and saw Nick sitting on the end of the bed staring at her.

"How did you get in here?" she asked.

"I have a key. Remember?"

"You shouldn't be here."

"I had to come. For your forgiveness."

"Nick, go downstairs. Let me get dressed and then we'll talk."

"Alright." He left.

Jessica got up and went to her closet. She put on a black skirt and a white shirt. She put on some shoes and brushed her hair. Thoughts flooded through her mind. She was so happy with Nick. But, it was too late. Things couldn't be changed.

Downstairs, Nick was waiting for her. He saw her come in the room and he began to speak. "Jess, I don't want to lose you. Please let us try to work past this."

The phone rang and Jessica answered it. It was someone from the hospital. "Is this Jessica Lavent?" a woman said.

"Yes."

"Well, Miss. Lavent, there was something left in your room after you checked out a couple weeks ago. We didn't find it until now. It's your wallet."

"Oh, okay. Thank-you. I'll be right there to get it." She turned to Nick. "I have to go to the hospital and get something."

"Can I stay here until you get back? I really need to talk to you."

"Alright. See you later." Jessica drove to the hospital and went to the nurse's station. "I'm Jessica Lavent. I came to get my wallet."

"Yes, of course," the young woman said. "Here it is." She handed Jessica a package with her wallet in it. "I hope you don't mind me asking but, how are things with you and that guy who was here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Was that Nick Carter?"

"Yeah," Jessica answered.

"I thought so. Is he your boyfriend?"
