When she got to his room she knocked on the door.
"Nick" she said with a small voice.
"Yeah, who is it" a voice answered.
"It's me Jennifer."
"Didn't I tell you that I wanted to be alone?" Nick sounded both hurt and angry.
"I know, but I really need to talk to you Nick."
"About what, we have nothing to talk about I made a mistake and I realize it now... you don't have to give me lecture about it." He talked very low in a hurt kind of way.
"But I'm here to apologize, cum on open the door."
"Why would you, you haven't done anything?" He got a bit friendlier now.
"Come on, open up! I wanna see your face when I talk to you..."
"Ok, wait a sec."
Jennifer stood there in the hallway and just waited for a couple of minutes, an old couple passed her. After a while she noticed that the old woman was staring at her in a weird kind of way. She didn't like it.
After a while Nick opened up.
"Hey..."
"Yeah hi, oh Hi Denise!"
"Hi Nick, is that girl bothering you?" Denise was always very protective about the boys and she wanted them to get the rest they needed.
"No, it's ok...you can relax, but thanx anyway."
Jennifer slipped by Nick. And sat down on the bed.
"You know, I'm sorry!"
"But for what? You haven't done anything."
"Well first of all I should have asked you why you got so sad and besides I shouldn't have brought Mandy up, it was stupid, can you forgive me?"
"Yeah but I still can't see what you have done."
"Nick do you need to talk?"
"About what?"
"Well first of all I would like to know why you are so sad, Kevin told me a bit about you and Mandy but not much, he said that it wasn't his place to tell me."
"What? Oh... So he told you we broke up?"
"Yeah.... Are you still in love with her?"
"I am and I don't know why, she was so mean to everybody, well except me when we were alone."
"Kevin told me that the kiss didn't mean anything that you just were confused, is that right?"
"What?!! Hell no, I meant everything I said." They both grew quite for a while, then Nick started to open up and they talked for two hours. Then Jennifer decided that she should go and get ready for dinner.
"Thank you Jennifer, I really needed that."
"You're very welcome I'm just glad I could help. If you ever need to talk again, don't be afraid to come to me, I won't mind it...."
"Um...even though I only met you yesterday it feels like I've known you for a very long time. I'd really like to have you as a friend."
"Nick, you already are a friend. I have to go now or you guys will have to wait for me later."
"Ok, I'll see you later."
"C ya!" and with that Jennifer left the room."
Jennifer got to her room and took a shower and got dressed. Then she sat down in the sofa and just waited for Jim to come. After a while she started to wonder where he was and just when she was about to call him someone knocked on the door.
Jennifer opened and there he was. They argued about him being late and then they made up and went to the restaurant and even though they were late the boys hadn't arrived yet. They got seated and ordered something to drink. Jennifer had a coke and Jim took a beer. After fifteen minutes the guys showed up. A.J was in the lead.
"Sorry guys....we didn't mean to keep you waiting but Nick got a phone call and couldn't tear himself from the phone." A.J looked at Nick who blushed.
"What was I supposed to do, the girl was crying for God's sake! And besides it hurts me enough just to break up with her, I just can't hang up on her...." Nick started off with a fire in his voice bit the last part was very quite.
"It's OK, Jim was running late too, so we haven't waited that long." Jennifer said in a very friendly way, but she could feel Jim's eyes on her.
"Oh sorry guys! This is Jim my boyfriend" Jennifer gestured at Jim.
" And this is the guys, A.J, Nick, Brian, Howie and Kevin." As she said their names she pointed at them."
The boys shook hands and said their hellos and then Jim spoke up.
"Um, actually I'm her ex. boyfriend, we broke up when I moved away..."
"Oh...yeah right..." Jennifer's mind drifted off. 'Why doesn't he see me as his girlfriend again? He's moving back and all....'
