Chapter 1
" Nick, Are you sure you are ready to leave the hospital?" His girlfriend Nicole asked. " Baby Love, how many times have I told you? I'm doing fine now. I wanna go home." " Ok" she said " And get you alone" he added quietly making her giggle. It was true, they hadn't been alone in weeks. With all the doctors and nurses around it was kinda tough. Nicole was still worried though. Jack was still on the loose and she was scared he would try to hurt Nick again. She loved him way to much for that to happen. If only her love was enough to protect him. All of a sudden Nick's voice interrupted her thoughts. " Honey, look, we're alone." " Hmmm it's just you and me alone in an elevator, this could get interesting." she joked. " You're right, it could." he said as he leaned forward to kiss her. It was the first kiss they had shared in weeks and Nicole enjoyed it with her whole heart and soul. When they broke apart Nick whispered to her softly, " I love you". " I love you, too. You don't know how hard these past few weeks have been, especially the day I almost lost you." " Don't even think about it" he said to her," I'm still here, and I'm about to kiss you again" Nicole's dark thoughs flew out of her head as Nick's lips covered her own. All of a sudden the elevator doors opened and their moment of passion was interupted. "We'll contine this later" Nick told her as they left the hospital. When they got outside,they noticed the limo was parked across the street. When the light turned red they held hands and started to cross. All of a sudden a car came speeding toward them. Nicole tried to push Nick out of the way but it was too late. Nick had been hit.
Chapter 2
"Nick!!!!!" Nicole screamed. She ran to a nearby car and knocked on the window. " Help me please!!", she cried," My boyfriend was just hit by a car! Go get help, Please!!!!!" The young man in the car got out and ran across the street to the hospital. Nicole ran back to Nick and kneeled next to him. She felt as if that night on the beach was happening all over again. Within the next minute a doctor ran out of the hospital.She went to Nick and checked his breathing. Then she shouted out to a nurse to get him onto a strecher ASAP. " What's happening to him?" Nicole cried. " He's not breathing, we are bringing him into the hospital right away." " NOOO!!!" Nicole screamed. She felt her legs give out and everything went black. When Nicole woke up, she was in the bed next to Nick. Around his bed were the other Backstreet Boys. When Howie saw that she was awake, he ran over to her bed. " Howie, what happened?" she asked. " YOu passed out in the street after Nick was hit." he said. " Is Nick ok?" she asked. " They got him breathing again but we still dont know if he'll be OK." " Help me get up, Howie, I wanna see Nick." Howie took her hands and pulled her out of the bed. She slowly walked over to Nick. When the others saw her they got up and left so she could be alone with Nick. She took his hand in hers and held it over her heart. " Nick, why is this happening to us? Why can't we be happy? Why can't everyone see how much we love eachother and just leave us alone? Nick, You've got to make it through this. You've gotta pull through like you did last time. I can't live without you." Nicole had to stop talking then because she was crying so hard. She sat there with Nick's hand in hers,crying,until Nick's doctor came in the room.
Chapter 3
"Doctor Nelson,Is Nick going to be OK?" Nicole asked nervously. " Before I say anything,please call the others in." " OK", Nicole went to the door and yelled," Brian,Howie,Aj,Kevin, come in here please" The guys all came running and sat around Nick's bed. Nicole sat on the edge of his bed holding his hand. " Well," she asked,"Do you have any news?" " I don't have any good news, and I don't like what I'm about to tell you. Nicole,guys,Nick doesn't have a chance of living. There was too much damage to his heart when he was stabbed. There was a major shock to his heart when he was hit,too. It can't go through that much. It's just a matter of days before he goes. Nicole, Call his parents and break the news to them. I know they are on a cruise and can't come home,but call them and tell them. I want you all to be with him as much as possible for these next few days. Talk to him, let him know how much you love him. He'll hear you. Nicole, I don't want you to let go of his hand. Hold his hand as much as possible. Hold it as he dies. Kiss him often too. Show him that you love him. Try to talk to him and convince him to come back, but don't get your hopes up. It probably won't happen. I'm really sorry." Doctor Nelson turned and left the room. Nicole waited untill she left to cry. She cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. The other guys just left her alone because they knew it was better for her to let it out. She cried for hours. When she had stopped, she laid down in the bed next to Nick. She put her head on his shoulder like she did when he was in the hospital before. She never let go of his hand. About 2 AM Brian came into the room. " Nicole",he said soflty," are you OK?" " NO! I'll never be OK again!!" She started to cry again. This time, Brian told her to hit him as hard as she wanted to let out some of her pain. She hit him with all of her might. She hit him a few times and then she broke down in sobs again. " I-I-I-" " SHH" Brian said quietly. " Why is this happening? I can't take anymore of it." " Nicole, God does things for a reason. He doesn't have to explain those reasons though. If God wants Nick in heaven with him, we have to let him go no matter how much it hurts. What I don't get is that God could have any human in the world with him in Heaven, but why did he have to choose my best friend." "I'm gonna miss him so much, I don't know how I'll make it without him. I really love him. I've never been in love before. Now that I'm truly happy and in love this has to happen. It's not fair!" " Nicole, I know it's not fair. I've thought that over and over since Doctor Nelson gave us the news." " I'm really dreading calling Mr and Mrs Carter tomorrow. If I'm taking it this hard, how will they take it?" " I don't know. It's obvious they love Nick to pieces,and What about Aaron? He thinks his big brother is a super hero." " I know he does, this is gonna kill him." " This is killing everyone." " Brian,I'm so sorry,I totally forgot about what this would do to BSB. I got so caught up in my own pain, I didn't even know BSB exsisted." " It's OK. I know how much you love him,this must be really hard for you." " It is,it really is. I'm gonna go back by his bed. Wake me up at 8 if I fall asleep so I can call Mr & Mrs Carter." " OK. Goodnight Nicole." Brian leaned forward and kissed her cheek. Nicole went back to his bed and laid down next to him. She held her head up to his face and kissed his lips softly,one at a time. The she fell into a deep sleep, almost as deep as her love for Nick.
At 8 AM the next morning Brian woke Nicole up. Nicole reached fore the phone and dialed Mrs Carter's cell phone number. When she answered,Nicole swallowed her tears and began to speak. " Hi Mrs Carter! It's Nicole!" " Nicole! Hi! Why are you calling instead of Nick? I know he was released yesterday." " Yeah he was but I have some very bad news." " What happened?" Mrs. Carter asked nervously. " I really don't know how to tell you this, but here goes. Yesterday when Nick and I left the hospital Nick was hit by a car crossing the street." " Is he OK?" " I'm really sorry but Dr. Nelson told us that there was a major shock to his heart and with that and the damage from the knife it was just too much for it to handle." " What does that mean?" " it means that Nick is going to die. He's not dead yet but it's only a matter of days." " No." Mrs. Carter said and she began to cry. Nicole couldn't hold it in anymore, and she, too, began to cry. " I'm so sorry,Mrs. Carter , I'm so sorry." " Oh, Nicole, I'm sorry too. I know how much in love you two are." " Yes, I do love Nick very much and I'm in a lot of pain but it can't be nearly as bad as yours. He's your son. I really wish you were here, Mrs Carter." " I wish I was there, too, but give him a kiss and say goodbye for all of us." " I will, I'll be with him to the very end." " Thank you. I'll see you as soon as I get home." " Goodbye", Nicole said as she hung up the phone.
Chapter 4
For the next few days Nicole did not leave Nick's side. It felt scary that she was sitting around just waiting for Nick to die but she stayed because she loved him. The next day Nicole prepared to let him go. She sat on his bed and held his hand. " Nick, please come back if you can. I can't live without you. I Love you, Nick, I really love you." She laid her head down on his chest and listened to his heart. SHe couldn't help but wonder how much longer it would be beating. She closed her eyes and all of a sudden she felt the familiar feeling of a hand stroking her hair. It couldn't be. It was Nick's hand. She looked up and saw Nick's sparkling blue eyes staring down at her lovingly .
Chapter 5
Nicole couldn't believe her eyes. Nick, who they were told was going to die, had just opened his eyes. " Nick?" Nicole asked. " I'm here,baby" Nick said. Nicole screamed, and Doctor Nelson came running. When she saw Nick awake, her mouth hit the floor. " How is the possible?" she asked quietly. " Love made it possible" Nick said. " Love?" Nicole asked. " I'll explain when the doctor leaves." Nick said. Doctor Nelson quickly checked Nick over and left the room. "So", Nicole said,"you were gonna explain how love made this happen" " Our love helped me survive" Nick said. " Huh? I dont get it" Nicole said. " Nikki,you never stopped telling me you love me these past few days. That brought me back." " You heard me?" " And felt you next to me every night. That made me want to live more than anything else in the entire world. Thank You so much for staying." " Nick, I would never leave you. I could never stop loving you. I stayed because I love you. No matter how bad I was hurting, I felt better being near you and if that was the only thing that came out of staying, if I didn't get you back, I still would've been thankful that I got to be with you through your last days, that I got to say goodbye. And didn't want to say good bye for anything. I would've cut off my legs if it would've brought you back. I love you so much." " HOw much?" Nick teased. " This much" Nicole said holding her thumb and 2'nd finger about an inch apart. " That much?" Nick asked tickling her. " Yup, that much." Nicole said, laughing. " Come on , seriously, how much do you love me?" " I love you so much my arms can't reach to show you. But I'll try another way" Nicole said as she leaned down to kiss him. " I love you more than I love being in BSB" Nick said. " YOu really love me that much?" " More than I can ever show you. Now come lay down next to me and go to sleep. I love when you sleep with your ear over my heart." " Why?" " Because when you do you can feel all my love for you growing and growing inside my heart." " Do you ever stop with the Romeo lines?" Nicole teased. " Not for one single second. Now get over here." Nicole crawled into the bed with him and put her head in the position he told her to. He put his arms around her and kissed her hair. " I love you,baby, and don't you ever forget it" " How could I? You never shut up about it!" " Oh, you!" he said, pulling her hair playfully. " I could never forget it because I love you too and always will" Nicole held her face up to kiss him then fell into a deep sleep on his shoulder. She woke up in his arms. " Nicole, I was up all night thinking about this and I have to ask you something." " Ok" " Nicole, I want to marry you." Nick, we are only turning 18." " I don't care. I want to marry you more than anything in the whole world. What do you say?" " I say YES!!!!" Nick kissed her so passionatly Nicole thought she would pass out, but she had never been happier.
