"Yes, Nick?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were comming back?"
"But I did... I e-mailed you."
"I never got an e-mail. Why did you decide to come back?"
"I got all your e-mails. I couldn't stand it anymore. I realized how much I needed you."
"For what?"
"I dont know. Something about you... the way you make me feel."
"Love? Because, I've told you, I love you, Katie. It took me a while to realize that you didn't know what love felt like and you were scared. Don't be scared to love me back. I dont want to hurt you."
"I don't know, Nick." Nick kissed the top of my head and hugged me.
"You'll decide in time."
~Next Morning~
~Nicks P.O.V.~
I didn't expect to wake up with a person next to me, but i did. Katie and I had fallen asleep while we were watching the movie. "Katie..." She moved a little, but didn't wake up. "Katie, you're on my leg. Get up." Why was I trying to get her to move??? Was I insane? I wanted to be in this position for so long. "Katie, honey, get up."
"I don't wanna go to school, mommy, just five more minutes."
"Katie, I'm not your mommy." I couldn't believe she was calling me mommy.
"Daddy won't know mommy, just let me sleep, puhleeeze?"
"Katie, baby, wake up."
"I'm sorry daddy i should have gotten right up i'll never do it again i'm sorry please dont be mad daddy please? DADDY NO!" Katie jumped awake in tears and started slapping me away. "Get away! Don't hurt me! I'm sorry."
"Katie, Katie, shh, it's ok, be quiet."
Katie looked up and me and said, "Nick?" Then she started crying. "I'm sorry, Nick."
"Stop appologising, it's ok. It was just a dream."
Katie started shaking her head no. "It wasn't. It was real. It's happened before... and... and... no.. I have to get out... NOW."
OK, Katie was starting to freak me out. "Why now?"
"They're comming. They know I'm alive. They'll be here soon."
"Who? you're parents?"
"Yes. I have to get out."
"Katie, think about what you just said. How could they find out you're here?"
"The person who called me. They told my parents I was here."
"Katie..."
"Nick, please, just call me a cab while I pack."
"If you leave I'm comming with you."
"NO! It has to look perfectly normal here. You can't leave." Katie was starting to seem crazy, but for some reason, I believed her.
"OK, but keep in touch with me this time? Please?"
"We'll see."
~Katie's P.O.V.~
(A.N. If I don't write Nick's POV as much anymore, its just because I find it hard to write from a guy's point of view. I think he would come across as very feminine... not very good.)
While I was packing a few of my belongings into a bag, my phone rang. Without thinking I answered it. "Hello?"
"I warned you bitch. I told you to get out. He thinks you can love him but you dont know how to love. You forgot how to a long time ago. And you can't learn how to love again. Bitch, I warned you to get out and you didn't listen. It's too late for you now and you're gonna die."
"I dont know who the fuck this is but you're insane. Stay away from me. The police are tracing this call so-"
"Shit." The person hung up.
"NICK!" Nick came running into the room a second later. "Nick, I have less time than I thought I did. I have to get out now."
"I'll drive you."
