Chapter Three

" Hey Nick, why don't you go back to the hotel and get some rest? " AJ said to him. " I can't, J. What if she wakes up?" " I will call you. If you don't want to go back to the hotel, why don't you get a breathe of fresh air and something to eat?" " I don't know......" AJ sees Billy walking in and asked for his help, " Billy, man get this kid out of here for awhile. He needs to get some rest." " Fine, I will be back. If anything changes call me. Hey sweetie, I will be back." kisses Jackie on the forehead and leaves with Billy.

Nick and Billy walked down the hall and then got in the elevator. He leaned back to rest his eyes and fell asleep for a few minutes. When the elevator door opened the fans and media were there and saw who it was. Billy got in front of him and led his away with extra security. Everywhere he looked a tape recorder, camera or a microphone was in his face. Nick's head began to spinning for the events of the last five days. Billy had noticed he was turning pale and needed to get something to eat or get some rest. He brought him in the corner to talk to him. " Nick, it's going to be okay." he said and gave him a hug. " I hope so. Because I don't want to lose her again and I love her with all my heart." he said with a sigh and sat down to put his head in his hand.

Nick got up and started to walk through the back door just for them. Billy knew there was something wrong and had a feeling that Mandy had something to do with this. He knew that in time Nick will tell him what happened, but this situation was different. Billy never say Nick so depress, so out of it, so lost before. He had never saw the look in his eyes either and knew he was holding something back. " Tell me what happened? Tell me what made her think you were still with Mandy?" he asekd with a concern look.

"It's because I took too long to answer the question she asked. She asked me if I still had Mandy in my heart and I didn't answer it right away. That I believe Mandy was the one who send me the tickets to see Journey." As they continued to talk, Billy saw Carla and Marcus coming in from the back way with food and looks like a folder. Billy looked down at Nick was still out of it and knew he needed to head back to the hotel to get some sleep. " Jackie, please come back to us. Don't leave any of us, especially don't leave Nick. You two were meant to be and if you die on him, he will lose it all and we don't know what's going to happen to him. If you can hear me come back, I always thought you guys were meant to be and you are the only one I can trust with him. You give him live, love and hope. You are the only one who can bring him out of this slump. So, Jackie please come back to us and especially to Nick. I hate seeing him like this and i know you do too. I know you will want him to go sleep."

" Come on Nick, let's go for that walk." Billy said and they were walking towards the same entrance. " Hey guys." Carla said. Nick looked up with the look of sadness,hurt and tiredness in his eyes. Carla saw the same look Billy saw him. Without any second thoughts she hugged him for awhile as he wept alittle. " Carla, I can't lose her. It's because of me that she is there. If she dies, I will not forgive myself. She has to come back to us, she can't leave us, she can't give up on us. What did she do to deserve this." " It's going to be okay. I promise you that.How is she? Any changes in her?" she asked him. " No. I saw you guys on TRL, thanks for doing that for me. I totally forgot we did that song."

Carla had noticed Nick was so out of it that he needed to get some sleep. She looked at him and then at Billy. She had never saw him like this before, so lost, hurt, confused and guilty. It just killed her to see on of her bestfriends like that. Carla had started to get tears in her eyes and knew Nick needed to get out of here for awhile to get some rest. " Nick, listen why don't you go back to the hotel or go home for a few days. If anything changes we'll call you." " I can't what if she wakes up?" " We'll call you. Just go with Billy, take a few hours to yourself, take a nap, get something to eat and relax. " " Let me say good bye to her." he said walking towards the elevator. " No ! Now leave." she said and dialed AJ's number.
