*~*Around 3 Weeks Later*~*
Emily finally got a job as a web site designer for some emerging company
called, "TriTech". She preceded to have a relationship with Brian.
Cate was released from the care facility by choice by stayed in contact with
all her friends there. She became VERY social with all her friends back home
too. Regaining even better friendships than what she had before.
Amy wasn't as miserable as she figured she would be. She was having fun with
Cate almost 24/7 and although she missed the light of Brian's presence she
knew she was happy by herself too.
Kat was miserable. Nick wasn't the man she fell in love with. He wasn't even
human anymore. She talked on the phone occasionally but gave no pretenses to
the abuse she was putting up with. He hit her a lot and was obsessed with
sickening sex games that involved blood. He was no longer Nick. He was just a
Power Lord.
Megs was getting closer and closer to AJ. It never stopped. She knew she
loved him more than any other. And she was even thinking of him in her mind
as the one she would marry and have kids with. He was thinking about buying a
ring. For that exact same reason.
Lissa was extremely happy with Mark and they became dating buddies with Megs
and AJ when they weren't alone or working.
Howie was unhappy with the circumstances of his life. Even though all his
stuff was at Em's, he refused to live there with Brian over all the time. So
he continued living at his house. Confusing Courtney and Stefania beyond
words. Courtney wouldn't give up the thought of marriage.
Kevin was happy with Kristin but Heather had been acting extremely weird
lately and he couldn't help but still find her attractive.
AJ was out with Mark, Brian, Kevin, & Howie. He had made his decision and
was going to buy a ring. The boys were all supportive.
"Ever think you and Lissa going to get married?" AJ asked Mark. Mark just
smiled.
"Maybe later on." He replied.
"What about the rest of you?" AJ asked.
"Kristin & I are considering it." Kevin answered.
"Need I answer? I'm not sure." Howie said.
"No." Brian honestly replied, as everyone looked at him in shock.
"What? Why?" Kevin asked. Howie secretly smiled.
"It's not there. I don't feel it anymore." Brian confessed sadly.
"You miss Amy." Mark replied. Brian nodded.
"Don't let this spoil your day fellas. Let's go get that ring." Brian
commented. They all nodded and walked in their hats and jackets to the
Jewelers.
AJ ended up making a custom made ring, that he would pick up in about a
week. The boys all went home, or to their girlfriends' homes.
Brian missed Nick terribly. He had lost a great friend. His only best friend
left.
Kevin headed home but since Kristin wasn't there he headed to Heather's
where they discussed their opposing views on the elections coming up. They
actually weren't opposing, Kevin just pretended to like Bush for sake of
argument.
Howie headed home to ignore his girlfriend and talked on the phone with AJ
all night about the problem. While Megs was out with Amy, Cate, Lissa & Em
for a girls night out that Kat couldn't attend. Brian sat in Em's room
wondering how to break news. But he was sure she felt the same too. They had
tried things to spice it up and he admitted she was hot and fun to be around
but he didn't love her like the love he had for Amy. There wasn't the
passion, or the yearning. It was just a friends with benefits situation. She
would come home tonight and they would end up talking all night, like
friends. Not Lovers. And it depressed him to know he had made the decision to
leave Amy for the pain he now felt. Knowing, that what he had with Em was
gone. And they both pretended it wasn't.
