Chapter Eight
“Hey Rok - do you notice something up with Nick and Becca?” AJ asked Brian.
“Yeah...I’ll talk to Nick later about it.”
“Okay.”
~*Meanwhile...*~
“Becca, you have to talk to me. We have a whole tour ahead of us.”
“I don’t have to, Nick. I just have to be tolerant enough of you to dance with you for a whole tour.”
“Geez, Becca, won’t you just hear me out?”
“Maybe later.”
“It’s a start.”
“Alright everyone! Practice is over! I’ll see you bright and early tomorrow!”
“hey Nick...can I talk to you for a sec?” Brian said.
“Yeah...sure...”
“What’s up with you? You and Becca aren’t acting right.”
“Well, during break today, I took her back to my room to give her taht ring I bought her, ya know?”
“Yeah...did she not like it or something?”
“Well, she loved it, until Riley came in, forced herself on me, and claimed I was cheating on Becca with her. Becca believed it all...and now she won’t listen.”
“Ohhhh.....not good.”
“Not at all...Brian, I really don’t want to lose her again.”
“I know man, we’ll work on it. Just give her time.”
“I can’t! I NEED her! It hurts me to know I hurt her. Especially when I didn’t do anything.”
“I’ll go talk to her, okay? I’ll make her listen...at least to me.”
“Thanks, Frick. I’m gonna go home...I need to really think.”
“Alright. I’ll see ya later.”

Brian went over to Becca, who was packing her stuff.
“Hey Becca,”
“Hey Brian. What’s up?”
“Nothin. Hey, can we talk?”
“Depends. I have a feeling I know what you want to talk about.”
“Well...we need to. Why did you run?”
“Maybe you should ask him that.”
“Becca stop being so stubborn. Trust me, Nick didn’t do what Riley claimed he did. He’s my best friend, and I know he wouldn’t do that...especially to you.”
“Really? It’s just so hard to tell who to believe.”
“I know...well, think about what I said.”
“Okay.”
“He needs you, Becca.”
“I need him too.”
She got in her car and drove home. She was very tired, but she had to call Nick before she went to sleep. She realized he probably wasn’t home yet, so she went and took a shower and got soemthing to eat. Then she called him. It rang about 4 times, then the answering machine picked up. She didn’t want to leave a message though. She wondered where he was. He was usually home by now.
“Oh well,” she thought. “I’ll call him tomorrow.”
She went upstairs and fell asleep.
“Becca, go see Nick. You know what I said yesterday. He needs you.” Brian said
“Okay, I do need to. I’ll be back later.”
“Alright.”
She got in her car and drove over to Nick’s house. His car was outside, so she took that as a good sign. But then she knew something was wrong. She walked up to the front door - which was open. When she walked in, the house was chaos. But then she saw what she was dreading. Nick was laying on the floor...with a few pills and an empty bottle beside him. Becca dropped to her knees crying and yelling...
“Nick! No! Help him please!! Niccckkkk!!” Becca woke up after a terrifying dream.....
