Chapter Eighteen

That night, I helped my brother finish his packing which he had already begun to. Nick had gone back to his house and I told him that I would call him before I came over to his house. For an hour and a half we sat outside on the porch swing talking. We talked about how to stay in touch and what not. Later came too soon though and I was watching him pull out of the driveway.

I felt so alone. Him and I hadn't ever been apart more than 24 hours since the car accident. I trusted him enough though, if he said he needed this then he did. I felt like I was imposing on Nick but he reassured me that I wasn't. He hadn't told me what my surprise was either. I sat in the cool air for another hour just thinking then got up. I went inside, picked up the phone, and punched in some numbers.

" Hello?"

" Nick, its me."

" Hey hun, how are you?"

" Not too well."

" Do you want me to come pick you up?"

" Naw its alright. I'll be over in about 10 min. I'm not going to pack anything tonight. I'm too ...I don't know what the word is, just out of it."

" You sure you don't want me to pick you up?"

" Yes. I'll see you in a bit."

" OK, drive careful. Bye baby."

" Bye." I hung up and went to change into my tear away pants, tank top and sweatshirt. I put on my Adidas shoes on, grabbed my purse and keys and got in my car. I pulled out and turned on my radio. Christina's " I Turn to You" came on and I smiled. It made me think of Nick cause he was always there for me to turn to. Within 10 minutes I pulled into Nick's driveway. I walked up his steps and knocked on the door. He opened the door. As soon as I stepped inside, I basically fell into his arms. Nick walked me into his living room and we sat on the couch holding each other in silence. After a while of not talking he sat up a little bit. " Wanna know your surprise?" He asked with excitement in his eyes.

" Sure."

" Don't sound enthusiastic or anything." He laughed lately. " Well, any way...what do you think about Germany, France and oh a few other places near there?"

" Not much considering I've never been there."

" What if I were to tell you that you're going." v " I'd say that be awesome!" I smiled.

" Well, the guys and I have a 25 tour dates to do over there and I want you to come. Not to mention so do the other guys."

" Ahhh Nick that would be sooooo much fun. I've always wanted to see those places and not to mention I'll be with you." I gave him a huge kiss. After we pulled a way Nick had the biggest smile on his face.

" So I take it thats a yes?"

" No that's a hell yea!" He laughed and gave me a hug.

" Well, there is another surprise too. But you wont get that till tomorrow."

" That's fine. This was a big enough surprise. When do we leave? And don't you need like a show before you can actually perform and everything?"

" Well, actually we have about a month to put everything together. The guys and I've been talking these past two weeks on ideas and what not. Tomorrow we're getting together with someone to work on something else." I sighed and sat back in Nick's arms.

" What's wrong sweetie?"

" Nothing....you're just too good to me."

"No, you're too good for me. That's why I have to catch up." He kissed my forehead. " Look its eleven already, why don't we go to bed cause we have to get up at 8."

" OK." We stood up and walked up stairs.

" You want the guest room or do you want to sleep with me?"

" You...but like you said we have to get up at 8 so don't pull anything Mr. Carter."

" Aww man!"

I rolled my eyes and we went to bed.
