AJ was led by Howie, back to his house that had been
neglected since the days of his staying with Megs.
“God D, I love her so much. Do you think that we have
a chance still?” AJ asked.
“Sure. Didn’t you hear her say that she wasn’t ready?”
Howie asked.
“No. Did she say that?”
“Yes, dumbass. That’s why she can’t marry you.” Howie
explained.
“She said that? Dude, all I heard was no.”
“That’s what I suspected. You’ve always been like
that.” Howie knew.
“Shit. Do you think we still have a chance?” AJ asked.
“Of coarse. You know love sure makes you act even
weirder.” Howie joked.
“I am not weird. I am just not normal. I am gifted.”
AJ replied. (EN: Hey Cate, I borrowed your line!)
“Whatever you say. So you going to talk to Meg?” Howie
asked.
“Tonight?”
“I think you should.” Howie advised.
“I am so glad to have such a good friend.” AJ thanked him.
“You mind if I stay here tonight?” Howie asked.
“As long as you (love me) don’t mind spending it by
yourself.” AJ replied. Howie smiled.
“Megs, he still loves you. That is why he asked you to
marry him in the first place.” Amy reasoned.
“I should have said yes.” Meg whined.
“You aren’t ready. Love is about two people making
compromises. If you two can’t get through this then
its good you aren’t getting married.” Amy shared.
“You are so right. I love him though. I can’t let this
go.” Megs explained.
“And you shouldn’t.” Amy said as she hugged her
friend.
“Thank you for coming after me. I didn’t think I
wanted to see anyone but you really made me feel
better.” Megs honestly shared.
“Anytime honey. I wonder who got stuck with the bill.”
Amy joked and Meg laughed.
Soon they were interrupted by a doorbell and Megs
heart stopped when the man of her dreams, AJ, walked
in and kissed her.
“I’ll leave you two alone.” Amy decided and went
upstairs.
Once Brian arrived on the scene. It was more subdued.
Nick was “comfortable” and they even took the gag off
of him. Cate reminded him of their past. Em did the
same, and Kat told of their beginning. While Cate avoiding crying.
Brian felt the emotion in the room but didn’t feel out
of place. Nick WAS his best friend and if he was ever
going to get him back, he needed to become himself.
“Hey buddy.” Brian said sitting beside him. Em filled
Brian in on what had happened so Brian told his story
of woe. His heart surgery. Nick actually started to cry.
“Nick, I love you. Please help yourself for me.” Was
Kat’s final plea before they all left but Brian and he
untied his friend. Nick first pulled him into a hug
and then went into the living room where all the adies sat.
“I’m sorry. I’ll get help.” Nick said before leaving
the room and driving off somewhere.
“I trust you ladies will be alright without me?” Brian asked.
“Well can I hitch a ride home?” Em asked.
“And can I too?” Cate asked.
“Me three! I can’t stay here by myself!” Kat exclaimed.
“You can stay with me, if Brok will take us there.” Em said.
“Fine, I have always been a sucker for the three of you.” Brian said.
The End~ *cries*
