Destined To Be

Summary: Nick and Amy are torn apart by a upsetting turn of events. Will they ever find and be with each other again?

The leaves on the trees were turning and the wind was light. The sun was starting to come out; it was a beautiful day. Inside the big, white house, the climate was exactly the opposite. The house was dark and gloomy. Clothes were lying everywhere, dishes overloaded the sink. Upstairs in the master bedroom, laid a motionless body. His face hadn’t seen a razor in days. His hair lay in disarray. His eyes were sullen, dark pools. He lay there, starring at the ceiling, his mind somewhere else.

His mind floated to another place; a time he didn’t want to remember. His muscles tensed as he went back to this unforgettable memory.

She came crying to him

“I can’t see you anymore”

“Why?”

“Nick.. Nick, they’re making me get married..”

“What?”

“My parents… they’re forcing me to marry!”

“To who?”

“I don’t know… Some guy that I was promised to at birth”
“An arranged marriage? I didn’t think that they did that anymore.”
“Apparently they do!.. I don’t even know him and they’re forcing me to marry him! I don’t want to. Nick, I don’t want to marry him! I want to be with you!” she cried, tears rolling down her face.
He puts his arms around her and brings her close to him. Not knowing what to say or what to do.
“I don’t want you to marry him either. I love you, Amy. I don’t want to lose you.”
“I don’t want to lose you either, Nick. God, why are my parents doing this to me?”
“I don’t know”
“I hate them! I hate them for doing this to me!” tears rolling down her face.
“So do I… when…when is the wedding?”
“N... next week” she cried.
“Next week! Why so soon? You don’t even know this guy!”
“I don’t know!… What am I supposed to do, Nick?”
“I don’t know… I guess marry him”
She pulls away from him.. “Marry him? You really want me to marry him?”
“No, I don’t really want you to marry him, but I have no choice and it seems that you don’t either. “
She starts to cry again.
“I love you, Nick…”
“I know.. I love you too.. We will be together one day… I promise” and he kisses her softly.
“They’re going to come for me… But I had to come tell you. I had to be with you. I didn’t want you to think…”
“I know…” putting his fingertip to my lips; tears start to fill his eyes.
He leans in and kisses me, deepening the kiss.
Finally we break apart, both out of breath.
She touched his face and took off her necklace. “Here, I want you to keep this. A little something to remember me by..” putting it in his hand.
“Amy..” with tears starting to fall.
“No, I want you to have this.. Just remember I’ll always love you” kissing him softly.
He leans over, secretly putting something in her pocket and kisses her passionately. At this time, the door busts open and two men are standing in the doorway. One comes over and takes me by the arm.
“Let’s go young lady… “ tearing me from Nick’s arms.
“No, I won’t…”
“It doesn’t matter what you want”
“Nick, please don’t let them take me!”
“Let her go”
“ Hey, you don’t tell me what to do boy. I have orders from Mr. Cahill. You gotta a problem, you’ll have to take it up with him”
“The hell I do”
“You don’t want to mess with me” dragging me to the door.
The second bodyguard holds Nick back
“Let’s go”
“No! I don’t want to go!” fighting my way loose.
“I don’t care if you don’t want to go... let’s go”
“Don’t do this.. please…” as they drag me out to the car crying.
“Amy, I love you!” feeling so helpless; tears filling his eyes, threatening to overflow.
“Get in the car” as he shoves me in.
“Nick, I love you!”
The bodyguard shuts the door and gets in.
Within a few seconds, the car is driving away, never to return.
The memory still haunted him. His heart breaking all over again. Tears started to roll down his cheek. The day they took her was the day that he stopped living. He missed her so much. He wanted to hold her in his arms again. He didn’t know if she was okay or if she was happy. He reached over to the table and grabbed the necklace that was lying there. He opened it and ran his finger over her picture.

“I love you, Amy. I always will” He closed the locket and sat it back on the table. He turned over and pulled the covers over his head, hoping to block everything out.
In some unknown place…

She went into her room and pulled out a pair of clothes. Something dropped to the floor with a “clink”. She wondered what could have dropped out, and bent down to pick it up. It was a silver ring. She examined it and realized that it was not just some ring. It was the ring that Nick had worn. It had their initials and a heart engraved on the inside of it. She ran her fingers over it and putt it on her finger. Loosing herself in her thoughts for a moment. She still loved him. She missed him so much. She took off the ring, kissed it and held it close to her. She then went over and hid it inside her jewelry box.

“I love you, Nick. One day we will be together… ” as she closed the drawer.
