Chapter 1

Alison’s Turn

I’ve got this feeling you’re not gonna stay
It’s burning within me
The fear of loosing of slipping away
It just keeps getting closer baby
Whatever reason to leave that I’ve had
My place is always beside you and I
Wish that I didn’t need you so bad
Your face just won’t go away
Don’t wanna lose you now

"Okay that’s enough for today." Wade said.

"Great job Alison." AJ said.

"Thanks Bone." I said.

"Yeah good job." Nick said.

"Thanks Nick. Nick! Wait up!" I said as he started walking towards the door.

"What Alison?" he asked.

"Can you give me a ride home?" I asked.

"Yeah hop in." he said.

"Nicky what’s wrong talk to me." I said.

"You know what’s wrong." Nick said.

"Nick you don’t understand why I did what I did." I said.

"Then why did you do it make me understand." Nick said.

"Nick, I was pregnant and I had a miscarrege." I said.

"What?" he asked.

"I said I lost his baby and he doesn’t know that I was even pregnant." I told him.

"That’s why you couldn’t be with me because you feel like you have an obligation to him because you lost the baby." Nick said.

"Nick there’s more. I lost the baby because I was under too much pressure and stress and that’s why I lost the baby." I said.

"Because we were fighting over you?" Nick asked.

"Yeah, that and other things." I said.

"What other things?" Nick asked.

"Nothing it’s not inportant. Nick you have to swear to me that you won’t tell Aaron about this." I said.

"He deserves to know." Nick said.

"I know but it hurts too much. Nick I never stopped loving you and I never will I wanted to be with you and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you but I can’t. I still want to be with you but it’s not possible." I said crying.

"Don’t cry there has to be a way. I’ll make a way. Damn Ali I love you so much and it hurts me to see you in so much pain." Nick said holding me.

"Nick kiss me." I demanded.

He did and it was the most wonderful kiss I had ever had. His tounge massaged mine and in time he was sucking on it. I was lost in his kiss so much and it felt so right yet it was so wrong. When we finally pulled away we were breathing heavily.

"You tasted so good baby." Nick said.

"Not as good as you did Nicky." I said.

"I better get you home." Nick said.

Aaron’s Turn

She arrived home and she didn’t even bother saying hi or anything.

"Ali?" I called.

"Oh, I didn’t know you were home baby." she said kissing me.

"Yeah, I got home early so we could spend some time together before I had to leave." I said.

"You’re leaving again?" Ali asked.

"You know I have to." I said.

"Can I come with you?" she asked.

"Not this time baby I can’t let you leave especially now that you’re working on the new album." I said.

"But we never spend time together anymore it’s like you don’t even love me anymore I don’t know how much more I can take." she said.

"I promise as soon as I get back we’ll go somewhere just the two of us." I said.

"That’s what you said last time Aaron." Ali said.

"I know. This time I swear we’ll go somewhere anywhere you want." I said.

"Fine." Ali said.

"Now I thought we’d go out to eat tonight." I said.

"I don’t feel like it. I’m going home Aaron." Ali said kissing me and leaving.

Chapter 2

Alison’s Turn

"Hi Nick." I said standing at the door.

"Hi what’s wrong?" he asked.

"He’s leaving again." I said crying.

"Shh don’t cry it’s okay. Damn him. He doesn’t even realize how much it’s hurting you." Nick said.

"I’m sorry I shouldn’t have come here. I’m telling you my problems while you still want to be with me." I said.

"No, it’s fine I wish I could make it better for you. He’s so blind sometimes." Nick told me.

"I keep wondering if I made a mistake. I mean we could’ve raised the baby and he wouldn’t have even known it was his." I said.

"He would’ve found out and we both know it." Nick said.

"You’re right. I love him so much it’s just I’m tired of being ignored." I said.

"Do you want me to talk to him?" Nick asked.

"I do but I know it’s going to be hard for you." I said.

"No problem. You know I would do anything for you baby." Nick said.

"I know and Nick?" I asked.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"I know it’s hard to stop loving someone especially when he’s your soulmate." I said kissing him on the cheek and leaving.

Nick’s Turn

I drove to my brother’s house and rang the doorbell.

"Nick hi." Aaron said.

"Dude you must be blind and dumb." I said.

"What the hell are you talking about Nick?" Aaron asked.

"I just got a visitor from a certain girlfriend of yours who was in tears." I said.

"Alison was there?" he asked.

"Yeah, she was and she was pretty upset." I said.

"I don’t know what she wants from me." Aaron said.

"She wants a boyfriend who will find time for her and not go away every single second of the day." I said.

"I promised Hilary I would go to her party." Aaron said.

"You promised your ex something and you can’t even keep a promise to your own current girlfriend." I said.

"I told her we would go somewhere when I got back." Aaron said.

"That’s not the point. You put everyone else before her and you don’t even realize that you’re losing her." I said.

"Nick you don’t understand. I love her with all my heart but it’s like everytime Hilary wants something I’m drawn back to her." Aaron said.

"You know what you don’t even deserve her." I said walking out and I drove to Ali’s she deserved to know the truth.

"Hi Frick." I said as Brian let me in.

"Hi Frack what’s up?" he asked.

"Is your sister home?" I asked.

"Sure. Ali Nick’s here." Brian yelled.

"Come on up." Ali said.

"Honey, I don’t know how to tell you this but the reason Aaron told you that you couldn’t go was because he’s going to Hilary’s party." I said.

"He’s what?" she asked.

"He’s going to her party." I said.

"Is he cheating on me Nick?" she asked.

"I don’t know honey. He doesn’t deserve you and that’s what I told him." I said.

"He doesn’t even care that he’s missing my birthday." Ali said.

"I know. I’ll tell you what on your birthday I’ll take you to Disney World just the two of us." I said.

"Thanks Nick." Ali said.

"I told you anything for you. I meant what I told him when I said he doesn’t deserve you. You deserve better." I said kissing her lightly and leaving.

Chapter 3

Alison’s Turn

He hurt me in the worst way and he didn’t know it. My heart was telling me tell him it’ over and follow your heart and be with the man you’re in love with. My brain was telling me that it wouldn’t be smart. I fell asleep and the next day I woke up and realized that it was my birthday. I got up and got dressed and found Nick and Brian downstairs talking.

"Happy Birthday sweetie." Brian said.

"Thank you." I said.

"Happy Birthday baby." Nick said handing me a rose.

"Nick you’re so sweet." I said putting it in water.

"Are you ready?" Nick asked.

"Yes." I said.

We drove to Orlando and arrived at Disney at 9am. We got out and got our passes and checked in to our hotel.

"Welcome Mr. Carter we hope you and your girlfriend enjoy your stay." the clerk said.

"Oh she’s not my girl… thank you we will." Nick said.

We unpacked and headed for the Magic Kingdom. That night we went to one of the nightclubs in the resorts and we danced and had some fun. Then the worst thing happened. On the screen they showed Hillary’s party and I saw my boyfriend and his ex making out on TV. I ran out and started crying.

"Alison!" Nick said.

"Nick I can’t take it anymore." I said.

"Then don’t, break it off with him and be with me." Nick said.

"I want to but you know I can’t." I said.

"Please Ali." Nick begged.

"I’ll think about it but tonight Aaron’s not here and I’m here with the most incredible guy in the world and it’s my birthday and I want to spend time with you." I said.

"Good because I have a surprise for you back at the hotel." Nick said as we went back.

Nick’s Point of View

"Okay open up." I said.

I had roomservice bring in a candlelit dinner for two and I had roses all over the room.

"Oh my gosh Nick this is so beautiful." Ali said.

"You like it?" I asked.

"I love it. Thankyou so much." Ali said.

We ate and had desert and then I gave her my gift. It was a diamond bracelet.

"Nick you didn’t have to coming here was enough." Ali said.

"Here let me put it on." I said.

"Nick?" Ali asked.

"What?" I said.

"You know what would make this day unforgettable?" she asked.

"No what?" I asked.

"This." she said putting her arms around my neck and kissing me deeply.

I felt her slide her tounge inside and start sucking on mine and we moved our tongues around playing with each others soon I laid her on the bed and began undressing her.

"Nick wait I can’t do this." she said.

"Yes you can, you want too." I said.

"I do but not while I’m still with him," she said. "Nick when we make love I want it to be with my whole heart not just out of revenge. I love you too much for that." Ali said.

"I know it’s just I want you and need you so bad." I said.

"Nick please just hold me." Ali said.

I did and we fell asleep in each others arms.

Chapter 4

Alison’s Point of View

I woke up and got dressed and found Nick on the balcony of our hotel room.

"Hey, I waited to eat for you." Nick said hugging me.

"Nick, I’m so sorry about last night. I meant it though when we make love I want it to be because we love each other not because I’m mad at Aaron." I said.

"I know I shouldn’t have pressured you. I’m sorry it just makes me so mad the way he treats you. You deserve to be treated like a princess and he treats you like a piece of crap." Nick said.

"I do get treated like a princess. You spoil me so much I mean this weekend and everything I couldn’t ask for a better birthday present. I love being here with you and this is where I want to be." I said taking his face into my hands and kissing him lightly.

"Thanks Ali." Nick said.

"No problem I’m hungry and this food looks really good." I said.

Before we could sit down there was a knock on the door.

"Aaron! What are you doing here and how did you know where I was?" I asked.

"Brian told me and I’m here to be with you." Aaron said.

"I saw you on TV last night." I said.

"Ali listen I can explain it was all a publicity stunt really. I didn’t want to kiss her." Aaron said.

"Yeah right." Nick said.

"Nick, I see you helped yourself to my girlfriend while I was gone." Aaron said.

"Aaron, that’s not true." I said.

"Don’t even bother trying to explain Ali he won’t believe it." Nick said.

"Aaron what do you want?" I asked.

"I came to tell you happy birthday and to spend time with you." Aaron said glaring at Nick.

"I’m here with Nick and I’m staying and right now I don’t want you here." I said.

"What? First you complain about me leaving all the time, now you don’t want me when you can have me what gives Ali? Oh, I see you want to be with Nick don’t you?" Aaron yelled.

"That’s not it." I said.

"Yeah it is. It’s always been him." Aaron yelled.

"Don’t yell at her." Nick warned.

"I can yell if I want too." Aaron said.

"Aaron go, I don’t want to talk to you or see you right now." I said.

"I’m not leaving without you." Aaron said.

"She said get out." Nick said.

"Nick, can you go get me some advil from the giftshop while I talk to my boyfriend?" I asked.

"Are you sure?" Nick asked.

"Yes." I said.

After Nick left I sat down on the bed.

"Aaron what’s happening to us?" I said as I felt tears falling down.

"Baby don’t cry. We can work through this." Aaron told me wiping my tears away.

"I want to I love you so much Aaron, but you have to not be jealous of Nick. He’s your brother. I chose you not him. This is just a birthday present to keep me from missing you. I was so hurt when you left because I thought you forgot my birthday." I said.

"I didn’t forget your birthday. I could never forget about you." Aaron said.

"Can we really work this out?" I asked.

"I’m willing if you are." he said.

"I am too." I said.

"I guess I could go home and sleep till you get back tomorrow." Aaron suggested.

"Okay and then when I get back we’ll work on us." I said.

"I love you Ali." Aaron said.

"I love you too Aaron." I said as we kissed goodbye.

"Did he leave?" Nick asked handing me the package.

"Yeah, he left." I said.

"You still hungry?" Nick asked.

"Starved." I said.

"Let’s eat." Nick said pulling out my chair.

Chapter 5

Aaron’s Point of View

She arrived home the next day and I greeted her with a dozen pink roses.

"You are so sweet," she said kissing me.

"I’ve really missed you." I said.

"I’ve missed you too Aaron." Ali said sitting on my lap.

"I love you so much." I said kissing her neck.

"I love you too Aaron." Ali said.

I started to undo her shirt but she stopped me.

"Aaron, don’t please." she said.

"What’s wrong?" I asked.

"I just don’t want to right now." Ali said.

"Why?" I said a little bit louder.

"No reason I’m just really tired." she said getting up.

"You’re thinking of Nick aren’t you?" I yelled.

"Aaron!" Ali said.

"You are. I can’t believe this. I thought you said you wanted to work this out." I said.

"Just because I don’t want to sleep with you right now doesn’t mean I don’t want to work things out." Ali said.

"Fine I don’t care anymore." I yelled.

"Don’t yell at me." Ali said.

"I can yell at you if I want." I said.

"I’m out of here. I can’t believe you would accuse me of this again." Ali said slamming the door shut and driving away.

Alison’s Point of View

I arrived home and slammed the front door shut. I heard voices from the entertainment room.

"Hi Brian. Hi Nick. Hi AJ." I said.

"Hey, sis I thought you were spending the day with Aaron." Brian said.

I just looked at him and burst out in tears and ran upstairs. I flopped on my bed and cried I didn’t even hear AJ calling my name.

"Ali, what is it sweetheart?" my best friend asked.

"It’s nothing really." I said.

"Lier." AJ said.

"Aaron accused me of wanting to be with Nick again so I ran out and came home." I said.

"Do you?" AJ asked.

"Do I what?" I asked.

"Do you want to be with Nick?"

"Yes, no I don’t know but I do know it can’t happen." I said.

"Ali, you have to tell Aaron sometime." AJ said.

"I know but it hurts so much. I’m in love with Nick so much but I also love Aaron and he’ll never forgive himself if he hears that because they were fighting over me and putting me under stress that I lost our baby." I said.

"Doesn’t he deserve a chance to cry too?" AJ asked.

"Yeah, but if I tell him that’s the only reason why I’m still with him then it’ll break his heart." I said.

"Meanwhile your heart is breaking." AJ said.

"Yeah, it is." I said.

"Can I come in?" Nick asked.

"Sure she’s all yours." AJ said shutting the door.

"What happened?" Nick asked.

"He accused me again." I said.

"He’s so jealous." Nick said as I cried in his arms.

Nick’s Point of View

"Nicky." Alison said.

"Yeah." I said.

"I can’t do this anymore." she said.

"Do what?" I asked.

"I can’t pretend that I don’t love you when I do and all those times I said I didn’t want to be with you well I lied I do. I’m going to tell Aaron the truth." Ali said.

"Are you saying that after you tell Aaron you want to be together? Is that what I think you’re saying?" I asked.

"I’m saying after I break things off with Aaron I want to be together." Ali said.

"I want that too." I said.

We got up and went to my brother’s house to do our business.

Chapter 6

Alison’s Point Of View

"Aaron?" I yelled walking in the house.

"You’re back." Aaron said. "With Nick." he said.

"Aaron, we need to talk." I said.

"What’s up?" he asked.

"Aaron I can’t be with you anymore because you were right my heart belongs to Nick and it’s not fair to you, me, or Nick to keep living this way." I said.

"Is that why you never told me about the baby?" Aaron asked.

"How’d you know?" I asked.

"Leslie told me Ali." Aaron said with tears in his eyes.

"Aaron, I thought it was for the best if nobody knew about it. I knew it would hurt you if you knew why I lost the baby. I didn’t want you blaming yourself." I said.

"I wish you would’ve just told me so we could’ve gone through this together." Aaron told me.

"Aaron, I wanted to tell you so many times but I couldn’t." I said.

"So you really want to end things?" he asked.

"I did love you Aaron." I said.

"It’ll take some time but if Nick makes you happy then I’m happy too." he said.

"He does and thank you." I said.

We walked out of there and somehow I didn’t feel broken anymore because the truth was out but there was something I had to do. So the next day I went to the studio and with permission from my friend Britney I remade her single

"From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart." from Aaron’s perspective and sang it to him.

"Never look back," we said
How was I to know I'd miss you so?
Loneliness up ahead,
emptiness behind
Where do I go?

And you didn't hear
all my joy through my tears
all my hopes through my fears
did you now?
Still I miss you somehow..

From the bottom of my broken heart
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
You were my first love,
You were my true love
From the first kisses to the very last rose
From the bottom of my broken heart
Even though time may find me somebody new
You were my real love
I never knew love
'Till there was you
From the bottom of my broken heart

"Baby," I said,
"Please stay. Give our love a chance for one more day"
We could have worked things out
Taking time is what love's all about

But you put a dart
Through my dreams
Through my heart
And I'm back where I started again
Never thought it would end

You promised yourself
But to somebody else
And you made it so perfectly clear
Still I wish you were here now..

"Never look back," we said
How was I to know I'd miss you so?
