" Look I am not a fan...well of course I am but he's my best friend. Please just tell me his room number."
" Dear do you have some kind of identification that you are?"
"Like a badge saying 'Friend of Nick Carter', I think not. Now start typing on that computer to give me his room number before I go to ever single room this hospital to find him!"
" I think you should leave before I call security"
" There's no need for that, she's with me."
"Oh Mr. McLean, I'm sorry, I was just doing what I was told."
" I understand." I gave her a look and let A.J. drag me away.
" Ugh people these days, no respect I swear! And J, if I've told you once, I've told you a million times, don't wear those sunglasses to hide your beautiful eyes." I took them off his face."You've been crying."
I should've realized this was more serious then what I had been told, A.J. didn't even give that lady a hard time. Actually from what I was told I didn't know anything.
*~*~ Six Hours Before~*~*
" I'm coming, I'm coming." I said as I walked into the house and over to the phone. " Talk to me."
" Kar?"
" The one and only, this Howie D?"
"Kara look Nick's been hurt. He's here at Tampa General."
"He's where?!"
"Don't ask too many questions now. There is a plane ticket with your name on it ready to leave at One. I know it only gives you forty-five minutes to get down there but its the earliest one.Chuck will be there to pick you up at the airport and bring you here."
"Howie how bad is it?"
"Right now I don't really know but when Brian went-we'll explain everything when you get here."
"Okay. Until then D."
"Bye Kara." We hung up, and I quickly began to throw a few things into my sports bag. A few clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, then hopped in my car and began driving through the busy streets of NYC.
I reached the JFK airport, parked my car and ran inside. I had called my friend Stephanie to come pick it up so I wouldn't have to pay for over night. As I sprinted through the airport I checked the time. The plane was to take off in ten minutes. Luckily I had made it just in time and was on my way to Florida.
*~*~Present Day~*~*~
A.J. held my hand and we walked to this private room where the other guys were. Brian was rather hysterical and seemed to be praying. Kevin had his hand on his cousins back, and Howie was pacing back and forth. Stacey, Kevin's fiance was sitting on the other side of Brian.
"Okay D, I'm here. Now I'd like to know what happened. I mean I leave you guys and I expected you to take care of my baby." I said joking around. When no one smiled my heart began to pound.
A.J. took me over to a couch and we sat down. " Want me to tell her Howie?"
"Naw I told you guys I would. Kara, Nick has been depressed for a while now."
"Yeah but he was fine when I left...kinda, right?"
"He was but you didn't really give a reason why you had to leave."
"My job and what not."
"No there's something else, and Nick knew it. Not what exactly but something, him and his family still and he's just going through changes. He couldn't take it all in." Howie paused and looked at the guys. " Brian, he had, well went to Nick's house cause no one was picking up the phone. He tried his cell too, but Nick didn't answer. His voice mail wasn't even on. Bri went over, like I said, and went inside. He heard the TV on in the living room so he went in there.
Nick wasn't in the living room, but Brian went upstairs to his room and found him on the ground. Kara, Nick slit both of his wrist."
