" Sarah!" James shouted as Sarah jumped a million feet up to her feet
turning around seeing James standing there, with a furious look on his face.
" Mind explaining what's going on here?" " What? I'm just hanging out with my
friend! God!" ' God what! I've been watching you two!" " Oh, so you've been
spying on me now!" Sarah said as she raised her voice. Nick sat up and stayed
back. Letting her handle the situation with her boyfriend. " I thought I left
a message on your cell asking you to meet me here at 8:30! Oh, and look, it's
9!" " Oh James...I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to ditch you like this!" Sarah
said as she began to come closer to James. " Sarah, it seems to me that you
don't care about me anymore. It's as if I'm just a piece of trash that you
could throw out everyday!" Nick began to walk back to navy pier. He couldn't
handle the fight anymore. It hurt him knowing Sarah saying that kind of stuff
and crying towards some jerk. He
didn't know what would be the right thing to do, so he began to head back to
find a cab.

" James, why do you have to be so damn protective over me?" " I'm your
boyfriend that's why!" " Well not anymore!" " WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!"
" JAMES! WERE THROUGH!" She said into his face. James grasped her arm and
turned her around. " You're making the wrong move Sarah. Who are you going to
go run to...Your Friend?" He said in sarcastic way. " You know what James,
screw you!" She shouted as she turned around and began to walk away. Tears
filling up in her eyes. " I'm so glad it's over. It was better off. I knew
dating him wasn't a good idea! God Sarah! I thought you learned from the
experience from Nick! Speaking of Nick...Where did he go?" She wondered as
she began running around navy pier...Looking for Nick.

Nick was making his way toward the corner waiting for a cab to come by, or at
least pass by. Not even that, maybe just a bus back to this hotel. Nick was
not in the greatest mood. All He wanted was Sarah...And he knew that that was
going to be hard to get. He didn't exactly know how to or when to. After
what he had done to her the night before, he was afraid to pull any moves on
her at all. As He made the turn to the corner He saw a young beautiful girl
sitting at the bench, talking to herself. " How come life has to be so hard.
I know Nick still cares about me, and that means so much to me. I miss our
old relationship...If I had a chance to do it all over again with him I
swear! It would be much more mature than our first time. Gosh Nick...I'm so
sorry of how I treated you." She cried.
Nick leaned his head against the brick wall that stood behind him. Just
rephrasing every word that had came out of Sarah's mouth. Now what? Is what
he thought. What should he do? He didn't know if he should go up to her now
and talk with her...Or leave? " Go talk to her Nick..." Whispered to him self.
"Uh!" Sarah gasped as she ran around the corner running right into Nick. She
didn't even see that it was Nick, until she looked up with her hurtful eyes
full of pain and lonliness. She looked up, and saw Nick...Standing there,
giving her the exact same look he use to when he would want to kiss her, or
was worried about her. She looked down again, not wanting to stare into his
eyes anymore, seeing how much pain she has caused him in the past years...and
now. " I...I'm sorry Nick." She cried out softly. Not knowing what was going
through Nick's mind. ' Come on Carter think...What to do...Come on Carter.
The right thing...Bring her home, or back to the hotel...Or comfort her.'
Nick decided to comfort Sarah. ' Sh..." He said as she finished saying sorry,
putting is finger over her lip, and embraced her with a hug. Unexpectedly,
Sarah extremely took his hug for granted. Holding on to him so tight. She
didn't know what to do anymore. She had no idea. " James is gone. Were done.
Now, my music is starting to get more and more useful and popular in my
life...And Nick..." Ran through her mind as she crossed a blank, not knowing
what to do about Nick. She knew she caused SO much heartache, and she didn't
mean to, sometimes...She never really understood. And now that she does, she
wishes she could take back everything that she had done to Nick that had hurt
him in his heart.
Sarah let go of Nick. But not totally. Standing there still with her arms
around his neck. They both looked into each others eyes. She couldn't handle
it anymore, it was too much for her to see what she has caused in Nick's
life...
