The next morning Krista woke up to what she thought was an empty house. She looked out at the driveway and all the cars were gone, except for Nick's. But, she didn't know where he was. (It's a big house!) She jumped into the shower, got dressed, then made herself some breakfast.
*DING DONG*
"I'll get it!....uh, ok! Duh, Krista, your talking to yourself." She said while laughing.
She walked to the door and didn't even bother peaking through the window to see who it was. When she opened it, she got the surprise of a life time. It was Justin.
"Justin!" She said with shock in her voice.
"Hi Krista!" He said while putting his foot in the door way so she couldn't shut it.
"Wh-what are you doing here?"
"Well, I jsut wanted to apologize for what happened yesturday. I mean, that whole thing and all! Why don't I come in?" He said while pushing his way inside.
"Ugh!....I think you should leave. Please, I mean the Carter's aren't home and I don't know if they want visitors. Please leave." She said calmly.
"Come on Krista! You know you want me to stay!" He said while cornering her.
"Justin...please leave."
"Come on Krista...." He said while nibbling on her neck.
"JUSTIN!" She said while trying to push him off.
He grabbed her chest and she let out a scream. Nick was down in the recording studio in the basement and heard what he thought was a female scream. He slowly walked up the stairs.
"Come on.....Krista! You know you want me!" He said while gripping her shoulder's tightly.
"I SAID NO!" She yelled.
Nick opened the basement doors and the sight that unfolded before him was enough to make his stomache turn. He saw Justin holding Krista against the wall....against her will. He slammed the door loudly behind him and slowly walked towards them.
"NICK!" She yelled.
"Oh...Nick!" Justin yelled in a girly voice.
"What's going on here, Timberlake? Ohhh lovely shiner on your eye. Gosh, how'd ya get it?" nick said sarcastically.
"Don't push me Carter!" Justin said.
"NO! You don't push me! Besides, your drunk. You reak of alcohol! Get out of my house." Nick said while gripping Justin by his shirt and leading him to the door.
"Fine..but you, honey, are still mine!" Justin said.
Nick pushed Justin out the door and watched to make sure that he left the driveway in his car. Then Nick turned and looked back at Krista who had her head against the wall, crying, with her eyes closed.
He walked up to her and placed his arm on her shoulder gently. He let out a deep sigh and then pulled her into his chest with his other hand. He held her while she cried. This was his second time seeing her cry. He was really beginning to regret hating her for no reason, and he was really beginning to soften up to her.
"Shhhh...it's ok, Krista! He is a jerk and he is gone!" Nick said while rubbing her back.
"Yeah, I know! But, if you weren't home he would have been here with me...alone!" She said as a scared look came into her eyes.
"But....he wasn't alone with you." he said while bringing her eyes to his by using his finger to pull her face closer. " I was here with you." He said.

Nick and Krista were still home alone and they were back by the pool. Nick was in the water floating on a floaty, and Krista was sitting on a beach chair.
"Come in....come on!" Nick whined.
"No, last time I ended up in the pool, you ended up with no shorts!" She said.
Nick laughed. "Yeah, but I'm not going to push you in violently this time!"
"Oh, thanks!" She said while laughing.
She walked up to the edge of the pool and Nick slowly went under water. when he surfaced he grabbed her ankles and pulled her in!
"AHHHHH!!!!"
"Oh, what happened?"
"You said you wouldn't push me in!"
"Correction! Violently push you in!" He said while splashin her.
