Tears ran down his eyes,he realized this was only the second time he'd ever cried.He cried once when one of his relatives died,that was acceptable.And now,that Samantha left him..it seemed like crying was all he wanted to do.

Switching on the t.v.,he went through the channels not caring what was on.He stopped at a random soap opera,decieding if his life was as screwed up and thiers.He didn't know.A blonde haired,blue eyed guy stared back at him,reminding him of himself.They boy ran around after some girl,who looked like Samantha.He told the girl he loved her but she wouldn't have anything of it.

"What the hell is this?"Nick asked,outloud.

His question remained unansweared.As he knew it would.

He cursed loudly and switched off the television.He rolled over and buried his head in his pillow.He needed some serious help and he knew it.His help?Samantha-it came in one word and that one word only.

Groaning,Nick wished his problems away.Wished he was at home,talking to Samantha.

I love her,he thought,looking up.I do love her...i'm just to stubborn to say it.He realized then,he always had..when they fought..when they were together.Ever since he first met her.He loved her.
 

He had to be with her.He just had too..
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Samantha wondered around her room and opened to door,for the first time in days.She went without food..without seeing the outside world for days and she was ready.Ready to get on with her life.She needed to.She knew she couldn't forget about Nick.God,knew she couldn't.She knew she loved him,she always had.When they were together they told each other those three little words,even though they were to young to realize what they meant.But she always had loved him and always will.

Maria turned around and looked out her open bedroom door as Samantha walked past,a small smile on her face.Maria smiled then,the plan is gonna work-it has to.She was meeting Kevin soon-a nervous feeling in her stomach.But,she knew she had to do this.Had to do this for Samantha.And for Nick.
