I woke up early and took my bags out form my closet. Brian had done a good job of keeping his mouth shut and Nick had no clue. I felt bad about doing it but it was jsut something that I needed to do. I crept downstairs, slowly and carefully. Lisa was still asleep but I left a note in the Kitch sayning I would call blah blah blah. I had only spoken to Nick once during the 2 day period and when I did it was only to ask for Brian. I was very upset and got the idea that he didn't need me anymore. I reached the airport and called Brian's house. No one picked up so I figured he was at Nick's.

"Hello?"

"Hi Nick it's me is Brian around?"

"Yeah he is but can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah..."

"Why do you keep calling here for Bri?"

"Because I need to talk to him and he wasn't at home so I figured he was with you."

"Yeah but WHY are you calling him?"

"Because I need to talk to him."

"And you can't talk to me?"

"I used to, is he there?"

"You used to? What's that suppose to mean?"

"Absolutley nothing Nick you obviuosly don't give a damn so can I please talk to Brian?"

"No you can tell me. You can talk to me."

"No I really can't please let me speak to him." there was a long pause and I heard Nick say something to Brian.

"Hello?"

"Sorry Brian is he mad?"

"Not really but anyways what's up?"

"Oh I told you I would call when I got to the airport well I'm on my way now."

"Did you take a Limo?"

"Uh huh."

"I still can't belive your doing this."

"Is Nick standing there?"

"No he went into his room."

"Ok. I know I'm sorry but I need to leave so I really thank you so much for not saying anything and I will call as soon as I get the Paris."

"Paris. Man Sam you sure did make it didn't you?"

"Yeah I guess you can say I did."

"Ok Hun, I guess I'll hear from you than."

"Yeah and Bri thanks so much again."

"Anytime. Bye take care and be careful."

"Yes mom..."

"Very funny."

"Bye Brian."

"Bye Sam."

I hung the phone up and we reached the ariport.

"Brian, what's going on?" He turned around and saw me standing in the doorway, he had a dumb, blank expression on his face.

"Uh.. wha... whadda ya mean Nick?"

"I mean, Limo? Paris? Sam?"

"Uh..I dunno what..your talking about."

"Listen Brian she's my girlfriend now tell me where the hell she is!"

"No you Listen to me Nick! All of a sudden you started ignoring her, making her feel like you were just using her for play. When you're alone with her whoknows what goes on, but I'll tell you one thing when you two are in front of us you sure don't act all that nice with her! Yeah sometimes like the occasion of the little pool I threw for us all, but other than that, that's it"

"So what's that all suppose to mean? You didn't answer my question where is she?"

"I don't know." he said it calmmly and got up and headed for his car. I pushed him up against the wall.

"Tell me what you know Brian..." I suddenly felt myself get faint I let go of him and sat on my bed breaking out into tears. ".... please." He sat next to me patting my back, he sighed.

"Oh boy.... ok Nick, Sam's.... gone." I looked up at him my eyes were stained with tears. My face read "What?" but my mouth said nothing. "She's gone away.. to Paris... she just got to the airport that's why she called. She didn't know how to tell you, she didn't know if you were going to care, since the way you were acting. She swore me to secrecy not to tell anyone, only me and Lisa knew. I don't know for sure when she'd be back.... are you ok?"

"Am I ok?.." I wanted to say something sarcastic and mean but couldnt find words.

"I hafta go to the airport I hafta get there before she leaves I hafta tell her that I love her. C'mon Brian let's go." We raced to the the airport. We tried getting there as fast as we could. When we got there we asked around for Flight 142, non stop trip to Paris. We arrived at gate 28 in time.... to see the plane take off. I rushed over to the person at the desk... the ticket holder person. "Is that the plane for the non stop flight to Paris."

"Yes sir. It was scheduled to leave at 4:37, it left 2 minutes early, is that your flight?"

"Uh No, thank you." I looked for Brian who was standing by the window watching the plane lift of into the air.

"I'm sorry man, I really am."

"It's ok, we were just two mintues too late."
