Chapter 1
"Nick, I can't believe you're taking me to Hawaii!" Nicole said. " Happy Birthday! Plus I want to look at places we can get married." " I still can't believe I'm marrying you!" Nicole squealed. " Well believe it because on May 8, 1998 you will be Mrs. Carter." " I cant wait!" she cried. " Well let's practice the part where I get to kiss the bride. Get over here"
Nicole walked over to Nick's hospital bed and sat on the edge. ( He was still in the hospital from the car accident but was being released over the weekend, just in time for their trip) Nick took her hands in his and pulled her forward so that their faces were only and inch apart. Nick kissed Nicole so tenderly it gave her goosebumps. When the kiss ended Nicole rested her head on Nick's shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. " I love you" Nicole whispered. " I love you too." " Oh, Nick I almost forgot to tell you!" Nicole cried suddenly. " What?" " Melissa called yesterday to see how you were doing and I told her about the wedding" " What did she say?" Nick asked. " She was really happy for us so I asked her to be the maid of honor." " Really? That's great! I always liked Melissa. Her and B-rok make a cute couple." " Don't tell AJ that, he's still hung up on my cousin. What is it with you guys and my family? First you fall for me, and now Liss has two backstreet boys after her." " I don't know, but right now all I wanna do is kiss you!" "Sounds good to me!" Nick kissed her with a passion so intense it shocked Nicole. " Nick, you better be careful." Nicole warned. "Of what?" Nick asked. "Of putting me in the hospital." " Huh?" " You know that shock to your heart that almost killed you? Well when you kissed me like that you put my heart through the same thing." " Oh really?" he asked " Really" " well I think I know the cure." " oh and what's that?" " This" he said and he kissed her again.
Chapter 2
On Saturday evening Nick was allowed to leave the hospital. " I booked a private flight for tomorrow morning , so that means we have all night alone in my big,empty house." Nick said. " Don't get any ideas, Mr.", Nicole teased," I'll sleep in BJ's room." " Sure, you'll sleep in the same bed when I'm in the hospital, but not now?" " Yup" " Come on, I'll be a good boy." " I'll sleep on the floor in your room and we'll hold hands all night, how does that sound?" " OK I guess" " Well, let's get going. We can stop at the video store and pick up the 1996 version of Romeo & Juliet and make out during the pool scene." " Sounds good!" He took her hand and they walked to the store and home together. When they reached Nick's house there were two messages on the answering machine. One was from Nick's mom and the other was from Brian. " Hey Frack! Have a great time in Hawaii! Send Nikki my love" Then, as if he could tell what Nick was thinking he said, " Don't worry,man, I'm not trying to steal your girl, I've got her cousin! Bye!" Nick put his arm protectivly around Nicole as if to tell Brian, " Stay Away" Nicole just laughed and ran off to get the video ready. " Hey Nick, I'm ready to cuddle on the couch to the most romantic movie ever, let's go!" When Nick reached the living room he saw Nicole in her favorite Nightshirt. " I'll be right back" he said. When he returned he was wearing a white t-shirt and sweats, his PJ's. Nick put the tape in the VCR and sat down on the couch next to his girl. Nick loved watching Romeo & Juliet with her because they always acted the romantic parts out. When it came to the pool scene they recited the lines along with Leo and Claire. By the death scene Nicole was crying, and Nick was gently wiping her tears away. Then they fell asleep right there in eachother's arms. The next morning they hopped on a plane to Hawaii at 7 am. When they were halfway there the plane went down.
Chapter 3
When Nick woke up he was in the hospital with Nicole in the bed next to him and the other Backstreet boys around him. " Guys, is Nicole OK?" he asked. " No, NIck, She's not. She's bleeding a lot internally and they are having a hard time stopping it." Howie said. " Can I go see her?" " Yeah, come on we'll help you up. You know, youre lucky to only have a broken wrist." " Yeah, but poor Nicole wasn't as lucky, and I'd give anything for it to be me instead of her. Now help me up." " Nick, be prepared, she doesn't look good. She doesn't even look alive. " OK, just let me see her." Brian helped Nick out of bed and led him over to Nicole. As soon as he saw her he burst into tears. The guys pulled a chair over to her bed and helped Nick sit down. Then they left them alone. Nicole looked so fragile that Nick was afraid to touch her, but he held her hand anyway. Nick was surprised at how cold her hand was. Brian was right, she looked dead. Nick leaned over and kissed her cheek, then began to speak. " Hi, Baby. I'm so sorry about this, it's my fault. Nicole, you've got to make it through this. We're getting married, remember? You've got to wake up, baby. You've gotta wake up because I love you. I love you so much. Please wake up, baby." Nick was crying really hard now. Brian heard him and went in to check on him. " Nick, are you OK?" Brian asked. " No, I won't be OK until Nikki wakes up. I love her so much, Brian. I can't live without her. I don't wanna live without her." " I know Nick. It's OK to love someone that much. And I know how much you love her. I can see it every time you look at her." "Let me go back to her bed. I wish I could lay down with her her, but I can't because she's hooked up to so many machines. I don't think she's even breathing on her own." "Nick, listen to me, don't get your hopes up about the wedding, it might not happen. Nikki might not wake up." "Don't even say that!" Nick yelled, "She's gonna wake up! She's gonna be OK! She has to be!" " Nick, stop it. It might not happen." " Just leave me alone" Nick walked back to Nicole's bed and sat down in the chair. He wanted to hold her so badly but he knew he couldnt. Then her doctor came in.
Chapter 4
"Is she gonna be ok?" Nick asked. " She has a 10% chance." "What does that mean?" " It means its possible that she'll wake up, but not likely." "You mean she's gonna die?" "Most likely." " NO! SHE'S NOT GONNA DIE!!!! SHE'S GONNA WAKE UP! SHE'S GONNA BE OK!", Nick screamed. " Nick, calm down. She might wake up but don't get your hopes up. Let her go." " GET OUT! JUST GET OUT AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" " I'm sorry, Nick, I'm really sorry." Nicole's doctor turned and left, then Nick broke down in sobs. He took Nicole's hand in his and squeezed it. Brian came in then, with tears in his eyes. "Nick", he whispered, "Nick, are you OK?" "Brian, why is this happening to us? We've almost lost eachother twice already, why do we have to go through it again?" "I don't know Nick, but I'm gonna call her parents and Melissa. They should be here." " Yeah, could you leave us alone now, please?" Nick asked. " OK." Brian said as he left the room. Nick turned and faced Nicole. " Baby, wake up. Please. I love you so much. And I want to marry you, remember? Baby Love, I need you. I need you so much. I showed you that when your love helped me live. You can't leave me. I can't live without you. I love you" Nick stopped then at the sound of Nicole's flatlining heart monitor.
Chapter 5
"HELP!!!!" Nick screamed. Soon, Nicole's doctor came running. "Help her, please!!!!" " Ok NIck, we are gonna help her, just please leave." "OK, I'll leave" Nick got up out of his chair and walked out to Brian. All Brian could do was hug Nick. He knew that no words in the world could ease his pain now. Not when Nicole was coming so close to dying. They just stood there, hugging, for about 10 minutes, then the doctor came out. " Is she ok?" Nick asked, paniced. " She's alive, but just barely." "Can I go in?" Nick asked. "Yes, I think it might help her if she heard your voice." Nick walked into the room and went to Nicole's bed. He sat down in the chair and took her hand. He held it over his heart and just sat silently for a minute. Then he heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Melissa. "Hi Liss." he said quietly. "Hi Nick. How is she?" "Not very good. They just had to restart her heart. And they told me she has a 10% chance. Liss, could you leave for a second? I'm sorry I know she's your cousin but I'd really like to be alone with her." "It's OK Nick. I'll leave." When Melissa was gone, Nick started to talk to Nicole. "Hi. I know you must be getting annoyed with me by now but I can't help it. I wanna be near you so much. So I'm gonna say it one more time. I Love you, baby, and I need you to wake up." Nick looked at her face, and almost fainted when he saw her big, brown eyes open.
Chapter 6
"Nicole, are you awake?" Nick asked. " What does it look like baby?" Nick yelled for the doctor. He came running in and looked at Nicole. " Shes awake?" " No duh" Nick and Nicole said at the same time, making the doctor laugh. He quickly checked Nicole over, and when he saw that she was OK, he left them alone. "I'm so glad your OK" Nick said. "Well I certainly couldn't leave when we were just about to get married, could I? Besides, after all we've been through to be together, I didn't wanna leave." " I Love you so much. Is it OK if I kiss you?" "Nick, since when do you have to ask to kiss me?" Nicole asked sarcasticly. " Well, I won't hurt you, will I?" " Just shut up and kiss me before I hurt you" " Well now that you put it that way, I guess I better" " Yup" Nick leaned forward and kissed her. When they broke apart, Nicole said, "Nick, I dont wanna wait to get married. Let's get married as soon as our parents get here." " Are you sure?" " Of course, Why you don't wanna marry me?" " In your dreams" "Nope, in my worst nightmare"
Chapter 7
The next day Nick and Nicole's parents arrived. They told them their plan to get married sooner. They thought it was great. They had the ceremony in Nicole's room, since she was too weak to go down to the Chapel. They said the vows they had written themselves last night and ended it with a kiss. After the ceremony, Melissa kissed Brian and made the announcement that they were officially "together" Everyone was happy for the first time in ages. After everyone had left, Nick sat down on Nicole's bed. "I love you, Mrs. Carter" he said. "I love you too, Mr. Carter" He leaned down and kissed her, and they knew that everything would be ok for them from now on.
And everything was, but what about Melissa and Brian? How did their relationship turn out? Find out in the next story...
