Chapter Seven
They raced off the boat and to Nick’s car. They drove down the road to Burger King, & bought as much food as they could possibly eat. Then they made their way back to Nick’s house since it was right on the beach.
“You wanna spend the night? We could just have a movie night or something.”
“That would be cool.”
“Alright, that’s what we’ll do then.”
“Okay, cool.”
“So where do ya wanna sit?”
“By the water.”
“Okay.”
They walked down to the water and sat down. After they finished eating, they laid back and watched the stars, until they got tired. Then they went inside and watched movies until late, and they ended up falling asleep in each other’s arms.

“Okay guys, five minute break!”
“Hey babe, come here,” Nick said to Becca.
“Okay.”
She followed him into his dressing room, and he closed the door.
“I have something for you.”
He went over to a bad and pulled out a little box.
“What is it?”
“A promise ring. It’s to show you how much I love you.”
He opened the box and took the ring out. He put it on her finger.
“Nick, it’s beautiful! Thank you so much!”
Just then someone knocked on the door. Nick went to answer it while Becca looked at the ring. Then she looked up to see who was at the door. But all she saw was her pull Nick in and kiss him.
“Nick, where were you earlier? You promised we’d meet!”
“Riley what the HECK are you doing here? I never promised you ANYTHING.”
“Oh Nick, why do you lie? She has to find out eventually.”
Nick looked back at Becca to see what she thought. All he saw was tears well up in her eyes. Then she got up and took the ring off.
“Becca...”
“No, Carter, don’t try to explain, and take your ring. Maybe you can give it to HER instead since you seem to care about her so much.”
“Becca, please!”
But she was already gone.
“You know what, Riley? I hate you. Why did you think this would make me LIKE you?”
Then Nick went running after Becca. He saw her sitting down by the water behind the building they were rehersing in.
“Becca, listen to me.”
“Why? This is the second time you’ve done this! And with the same person!”
“But I didn’t do anything this time!”
“Whatever.”
“Becca come on. We have to finish rehersal.”
“You go. I’ll be there in a second.”
“Okay...”
He got up and started back, about to cry. He realized he might just lose the person he loved...for the second time.
