About 3 years ago I moved to Orlando with my mom and cousin Katie who moved back in with her mom. At her 18th birthday party her boyfriend AJ Mclean came. He brought his bestfriend Nick with him. I stared at him across the room. He was so perfect. His blue eyes shined in the light. He motioned for me to go outside with him. I smiled and followed him to the beach. We walked and talked until the party was over. He kissed me softly and left.
I sat down on my bed in awe. Kat came to my room and knocked. "Courtney? Are you ok??" "Uh-huh, I'm fine," I said, turning the lights out. I couldn't sleep that night. All I could think about was Nick.
We spent everyday together before he went on tour. He called everynight after the concert. He would always tell me how much he loved me and how he wished he could be with me. He knew how much I loved teddy bears so every week he would send 6 roses... a red,white,pink,purple,pink,and a maroon rose and a tebby bear. The card on the roses would always say "Corky,you're my teddy bear. I love you and I will see you very very soon". It always brought a smile to my face.
A few weeks later Nick called. "Corky! I'm coming home!" "Oh my gosh! Yes!!" "I'll be home Saturday! I love you !" "I love you too, Nick" we hung up. That was the last time I talked to him all that week. Saturday was as slow as Christmas. Waiting for him that day I was listening to my radio in my room. "I Want It That Way" came on then traffic report. "There has been a 2-car wreck at the corner of William's in front of the toy shop. Involved was a Blue corvete. The driver is in critical condition and is at Memorial Hospital." I sat there a few seconds thinking "Nick.." I shook my head "No way"
Kat ran upstairs when she got off the phone with AJ "Courtney come on!" "Where we going??" "Hospital" "Why??" "Nick was in a wreck!" I stared at her for a sec then through my shoes on and ran out the door. AJ sped to us then we drove to the hospitals in silence. When we got there we all ran inside. AJ ran to the desk and saw Brian. We all ran to Brian in a waiting room surounded in glass with no one but him in it. I looked at him "Well?" "Nothing yet, Courtney." I sat down with my head in my hands.
After about 3 hours the doctor came in. "Who wants to see him?" Everyone looked at me. I stood up and followed him. "I must warn you, ma'am, he's scratched up pretty bad. He was ejected and is unconcious, but can hear you." I nodded and walked into Nick's room. I walked to his bed and just stared at him. "Hey Nicky" I said, softly kissing his forehead. I looked at his scratches and a tear slowly rolled down my cheek. I put my hand on his cheek. " I love you Nick Carter."
I longed to hear his voice,see his beautiful blue eyes,just to hear him say "I love you" back or even a kiss, but nothing. I put my head down as tears came to my eyes. I whispered softly in his ear "Don't you leave me Nick. Remember, you're the key to my heart." Moments later the doctor rushed in "Ma'am, we have to go operate now" I nodded. I kissed his lips softly "I love you Nicky". I walked back to everyone. They all looked at me. I just stared at them.
I fell asleep waiting for news. "Hey Corky" Nick was there standing in front of me. In his jeans and t-shirt and hair in his little pony tail. "Nick!" I stood up and hugged him. "Corky I love you" He said softly. "I love you too. Nick are you in pain?" "I don't know" Just then I felt something shaking me. I jumped and opened my eyes and saw Brian. "What?" I said sleepily. "Courtney go on home." "But Bri--" "No,we'll call you." I nodded and went home.
I walked inside and turned on the light. "Hello? Mom?" no answer. I walked to the desk and could see Nick sitting there on the phone with AJ or Bri. I touched the phone and smiled. I walked upstairs and ran my hand on the railing then turned and looked dowstairs. I saw Nick..standing there in a black suit with shining eyes as he saw me coming down the stairs in my long hunter green prom dress. I smiled but couldn't take it anymore; I busted into tears. "Nick Carter, I love you... don't you leave me" I said softly as the image faded and I climbed the stairs. I fell asleep on my bed.
That night I felt a little kiss on my cheek. I woke up and turned to see Nick. "Nicky you're ok??" "Kinda of, Corky" "What do you mean?" Then I saw it...his suit of white. A tear rolled down my face... "No, Nick!" He smiled and kissed me softly. "I'll always be with you." "Don't leave me, Nick" "I have to, Corky. I won't be far" as he pointed to my heart. I closed my eyes so I wouldn't cry. "Corky I have to go now." I nodded slowly and looked at him. He kissed me once more and I watched him dissapear before my eyes.
I awoke to find on my bed beside me... 6 roses...red,white,pink,purple,yellow,and a maroon,a teddy bear,locket,and a small key with a letter beside it. I opened the letter... it read:
My dearest Corky,
I am in your heart. I will always love you till the very end of time. I will see you again soon. I am the key to your heart and you are the key to mine. Please don't cry for me. I will always be with you, I love you!
Love always,
Nick
I opened the locket... it held a picture of me and a picture of Nick. I knew exactly what the key was for so I put it on the necklace and then put it on. I held the teddy bear close...it smelled just like him. Tears filled my eyes as the phone rang. I picked it up.."Hello?"
"Courtney...Nick's gone" Brian said slowly. "Yeah, I know." "I'm sorry" "I know..." "I'll talk to you later." We hung up and I looked up at the sky. I saw a new bright star... brighter then the rest, and whispered softly, "Nick... I love you"
Four years later....
I became Mrs. Brian Thomas Littrell. Our first kid was a beautiful baby boy... blond hair..blue eyes. We named him Nickolas Gene Littrell. To this day I still long to see and hear Nick's voice... and somehow everyweek I still get 6 roses and a teddy bear....
