*~Chapter Thirteen~*

Sabrina sat in her room, still unable to sleep from her thoughts. She had too much on her mind.
Nick sat with Brian in the hall. Both were still awake, also thinking and hoping on Sabrina's decision.They did not speak, even though as best friends they promised no girl would come between them. Somehow that promise drifted away after meeting Sabrina.

NIck finally got up and went to see Sab. Her head began to throb with pain from thinking.
"Hi..."
"Hey Nick.."
"So, have you...?"
"Yes.."
Nick's heart skipped a beat with her reply.
"Oh, I guess thats good then..right?"
Sabrina shrugged.
"Can you ask Brian in, please?"
He nodded and in a moment's time, Brian and Nick sat beside her, this time neither of them held her hand, instead their own in nervousness.
"Okay..I have decided that.."
Aaron and Mackenzie bolted in, interupting. Brian sighed, impatiently.
"Guess what?" Mack said.
"We made up!" Aaron finished. A chorus of 'good!' gave them a response.
"Oh..were we interupting? We'll go.." Mack left, dragging Aaron by the hand.
"Anyways.." Sab continued. "I decided on.." She paused. "Neither of you. Its too hard! Too much stress! I love Nick, but Brian is Nickia's father. I can't choose! I'm sorry."
The two guys sighed unhappily. A tear fell from Sabrina's eye while she slowly removed her beautiful engagement ring and handed it to Nick. He took it tightly in his hand and stood, turning away from her, hiding his own tears. Sabrina started to cry harder, followed by a few hidden tears from Brian. He left the room. Nick did the same.
