Chapter 4

1 and a half years later...(AN: I know I do this a lot, but please bear with me.)

Crystal hurriedly sneaked out of her house, pulling the hood of her pullover over her head, fearing that her drunken father would awaken, and beat the hell out of her for sneaking out of the house, but she continued to run down the block towards the park, anticipating her private rendezvous with Nick. He was the bestest friend she'd ever had apart from Josh and Jason.

When she reached the center of the park, she saw Nick, laying down on one of the benches looking straight up. Smiling secretively, she strode over to Nick, and plopped down on his upper legs.

"Crystal!" he said laughing. "That hurt!"

"Sorry, Nick, had to do it!" she responded, joining in the laughter. Nick sat up, and pulled her further up on his lap. He was so happy that he was able to be so close with the girl he loved most in the world. And that love had intensely and immensely developed after they had started to become friends. He got to know the inner her, and he fell even more in love with her. He now knew for sure they were meant to be together. But how would he accomplish that if Crystal and Josh were still going out, and as hot and heavy as ever. It hurt him very much, but he knew in his heart that one day Crystal in him were going to be together.

Or is it just my brain trying to console my heart? Nick thought. He pushed the thought out of his head.

"Nick, I don't wanna go back to my house for a while. Why don't we sneak into your room, lock your door, and we could sleep together on your bed? I would be so much more relaxed." She stood up, and stretched, her shirt rising over her stomach, revealing her cute little belly button. She didn't know what looking at her did to him, let alone sleep together on the same bed, but he couldn't refuse. Then she would know something was wrong.

"Um...sure, Crystal. Let's go," he said, grabbing her hand. They started to run towards his house.

From across the street, Josh peered out of his window. He hadn't been able to fall asleep. He had walked towards his window when he had heard footsteps. He saw Nick holding a girl's hand, leading her into his house. He couldn't recognize the girl because she had a hood over her head, but he could tell she had long blond hair.

A blond with a blonde. They're suited for each other. With that, he turned back towards his bed, and flopped down onto his bed, thoughts of Crystal invading his mind. He sighed happily. He never would have believed that he would be so much in love with someone. Especially the kid who he'd grown up with. He sighed again, before slowly drifting off to sleep.

Nick and Crystal entered his room quietly, and he locked the door behind hime quickly. Crystal quickly took off her pullover, and threw it over a chair. She took of her shoes, pants and t-shirt, and all she was standing now was in her bra and panties.

Nick couldn't help but stare at her beautiful body. He couldn't help but to start getting excited. But obviously, she saw him only as a brother whom she was really comfortable with.

Crystal didn't notice that Nick was gawking at her, so she slipped under his bed covers and shut her eyes, yawning softly. "Goodnight, Nicky. Wake me up very early. I don't wanna get in trouble," she whispered. Nick quickly took off his shoes, pants, and shirt, and stayed in his boxers. He lay down next to Crystal. She moved into his arms, and put her head on his chest before drifting off to sleep. Nick sighed. This had to be the most perfect night ever. Then, he too, finally fell asleep, his arms around Crystal.
