Memories

Nick

"I'm in love with someone else Nick. It's Justin Timberlake from N'Sync. I didn't mean for it to happen it just did. I'm sorry Nick but I want to be with him that's why I'm leaving tomorrow with him to go on tour with him and the rest of the group I'll never forget the times we shared together. Goodbye Nick. Love Alison." I read on the note that she wrote me 2 years ago. Now she's coming home after all this time and I'm still hooked on her.

"Hey Frack we're home." Brian my best friend and her brother yelled.

"I'll be right there." I said. I walked down and saw the same brownish blonde hair and the same baby blue eyes that I fell for 2 years ago.

"Hi Nick." she said.

"Hi Ali." I said as she came over and broke down in my arms.

"Ali what is it?" I asked.

"I'll leave you two alone." Brian said.

"He left me for Br..itney..." she said.

"He told me he never loved me he told me he was just using me to get back with her. Nick how could I have been so dumb?" she cried.

"Oh Ali you're not dumb you didn't know he was using you baby I'm here for you." I said as she cried in my arms and I kissed her head.

"Nick I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I'm even more sorry that I broke your heart." she said.

"Don't worry about it all that matters is that you're home and we're together." I said as she fell asleep.

Alison

"Hi." I said waking up a few hours later.

"Hi sweetie." Nick said.

"Nick I'm sorry I just needed to let it all out." I said.

"I told you I'm here for you always even if we aren't together anymore." he said.

"I really did love you Nick. Don't ever doubt that. You're the only person I know of besides Brian and Kevin that would never hurt me." I said.

"Ali I still do love you even after everything." Nick said.

"I...you what?" I asked.

"I love you." he said.

"You do?" I asked.

"With all my heart I never stopped." he said.

"Nick I never stopped loving you either Nick you'll always be my baby and you'll always be the shape of my heart but after everything I've done can we really be together after everything where can we go from here?" I asked him leaving.

Chapter 2

Where Can We Go From Here?

Nick

I try to pick the pieces up
I can't think of starting over
We use to share the stars above
I don't wanna think of change
But now I've gotta move on
I've gotta catch up to the world
Even though I gave you my life
As wrong as it seems I know it's right
But is there a place that I can go away
To escape the love that I will forever know?
Where can we go from here?
All I know

I heard Alison singing as I walked into the studio for practice. "Damn it." she yelled at herself. "I can't even think of these stupid words." she yelled.

"Ahem." I said.

"Nick! I didn't realize that you were in here." she said.

"Sorry I can leave if you want me too." I said.

"No please stay. I was just messing around." she said hopping down off the platform.

"I like what you were singing." I said.

"It's about you." she said.

"I know." I said.

"Nick I've been thinking. I want to be together again so what if we started over as if I never cheated on you we can leave the past in the past and start over brand new nobody has done anything to hurt each other." she said.

"I would love that." I said.

"Good." she said.

 "Want some help with the song?" I asked.

"Sure Nick." she said.

Alison

We worked on the song until it was time for practice. Before he went on the stage he gave me the most passionate kiss I had ever had in front of everyone including my brothers. I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. After they rehearsed we went out to eat.

"Guys we have something to tell you." Nick said.

"Ali and I are back together." he said.

"Finally." Brian said.

"Hey shut up Brian." I said laughing. He held on to me all night and I was loving every minute of it until I saw Justin and Taylor the girl he left me for.

"Nick I want to leave." I said.

"What is it? Oh I see." he said as they made their way over.

"Hi Ali." J said.

"Hi J." I said.

"Hi Nick." J said.

"Hi Justin we were just leaving." Nick said.

"Wait Ali can I talk to you?" he asked.

"Fine." I said.

"I'm sorry Ali I hope one day you can forgive me and we can be friends." he said.

"J wait. I forgave you a long time ago and I would really like to be friends." I said.

"Good can I give you a good bye kiss?" he asked.

"Yes." I said as we kissed one last time.

"Goodbye Justin." I said.

"Goodbye Ali keep in touch okay? I still care what about you." he said.

"I care about you too J you do the same." I said.

"You ready?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm ready." I said taking his hand.

 "Why are you crying?" he asked.

"It still hurts seeing him with her." I said feeling like my heart just left with Justin.

"You still love him don't you?" Nick asked.

"Yes Nick I still do but I also love you." I said crying even more.

 Justin

It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
I don't know how to say goodbye
All I know is the way you laughed
And I'll take with me the memories
To bring the sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

That song I was dancing with Taylor was playing and I felt a tear drop from my eye.

"J what's wrong?" she asked.

"First of all never call me J there's only one person who is aloud to call me that and that's not you. Second of all you can get your hands off my ass and third of all I can't be with you anymore. Alison has my heart she always has and always will." I said.

"Justin you're making a big mistake if you go after her." Taylor said.

"No the only mistake I made was cheating on her with you. We're over and you're stuff will be outside when you get back and the locks will be changed so don't even try." I said leaving.

Chapter 3

I'll Never Find Someone Like You

Alison

Nick told me that he'd respect whoever I chose which hurt even more because I really do love him. I walked to Justin's house and saw boxes of I guess Taylor's thing out on the lawn. I rang the doorbell.

"Taylor I told you I..Ali?" J said.

"Hi J can I come in?" I asked.

"Sure sweetie." he said letting me in. We sat down and he said he wanted to tell me something so I let him.

"Ali last night after I saw you I realized while I was dancing with Taylor that she was just with me because I'm a famous musician. She didn't care about me. There is only one person who I know that doesn't care about the money, the fame, or the publicity and that's you. The only mistake I regret the most is cheating on you with her and I need to tell you that I love you more than anything in this world and I want you back." he said.

"J I realized last night that I still love you even after what you did. I told Nick that even though I still love him that I couldn't be with him because I want to be with you." I said.

"I love you Alison I really do." J said.

"I love you too J always." I said as we kissed.

"Ali will you marry me?" he whispered in my ear.

"Yes J I'll marry you." I said as he pulled out a box from the drawer and put it on my finger. We were about to kiss again when there was a knock at the door. "Nick?" I said.

"Ali What in no Ali don't." he said.

"I'm sorry Nick." I said.

"Fine if he makes you happy then I'm okay just remember I'm always here for you." he said kissing my cheek and walking out.

"Are you okay?" Justin asked.

"I'm okay." I said kissing him.

"So when do you want to get married?" he asked.

"How about April 21?" I asked.

"Baby that's only 3 weeks away are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes. All I have to do is find a dress and my parents said they would take care of the rest." I said.

"I don't get it." he said.

"On my way here I called my parents and told them I was going to ask you to marry me." I said.

"You're sneaky." he said.

"You love me anyway." I said.

"I sure do." I said.

Chapter 4

The Wedding

Nick

She's getting married today. Here goes nothing. I knocked on the door.

"Nick? I didn't think you were coming." she said.

"I couldn't let you get married without me there." I said.

"What's with the guitar?" she asked.

"I want to give you my present." I said.

I try to pick the pieces up
I can't think of starting over
We use to share the stars above
I don't wanna think of change
But now I've gotta move on
I've gotta catch up to the world
Even though I gave you my life
As wrong as it seems I know it's right
But is there a place that I can go away
To escape the love that I will forever know?
Where can we go from here?
All I know is that I love you still
Sometimes we do things against our will
I know I cry lonely tears
Where can we go from here?
Why? Why do I cry inside
For a love that's gone away?
How? How can I carry on
When I know all the love is gone?
Tell me where can I go to get away
From the pain of loving you?
Where can we go from here?
All I know is that I love you still
Sometimes we do things against our will
I know I cry lonely tears
Where can we go from here?

 Alison

"You finished it." I said wiping a tear away.

"Hey don't cry. You're messing up your makeup." Nick said.

"I don't care. Thank you." I said kissing him lightly on the lips.

"No problem baby I love you don't forget that ever." he said leaving.

It was time for me to get married and my dad took me and hugged me and as I walked down the isle I looked at Nick and he gave me thumbs up.

"Dearly Beloved we are gathered here today in the sight of God and man to join together this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony. If there is anybody who gives just cause why these two should not be married speak now or forever hold your peace. Who gives this woman to this man?"

"Her mother and I." My dad said placing my hand in Justin's.

"Do you Alison Faye Littrell take Justin Randall Timberlake to be your husband to love and to honor in sickness and in health for better for worse till death do you part?"

"I do." I said.

After we exchanged rings and said our vows the Pastor finally announced.

"Ladies and Gentleman by the power invested in me by God I now pronounce Mr. and Mrs. Justin Randall Timberlake. You may kiss the bride." he said and he did that. So I was finally happy or was I?
