My Heart Will Always Stay With You
By: Meg
"Nick!" I shrieked as my boyfriend, Nick, picked me up and threw me in the pool. "That wasn't very nice." I said as I surfaced.
"I know." he said with a smile.
"I'm so upset, I will never forgive you!" I exclaimed over-dramatically.
"Oh baby I'm sorry is there any way I can make it up to you?" he replied helping me out of the pool and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Maybe" I said with a teasing smile.
He smiled back and kissed me gently. "I'm sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" he said giving me a puppy dog
face.
"Oh alright, just this once," I said wrapping my arms around his neck. Just then his cell phone rang. He removed his arms from around my waist and went to answer it.
"I gotta go. I totally forgot there was a concert today." He said reluctantly after he had hung up.
"Ok Nick. Bye," I said.
"Bye," he said kissing me lightly one last time before turning to go.
After he had left I decided to go home for awhile before meeting him back at his house which was like my second home.
Since it was a nice day and I only lived about a half a block away I decided to walk home. When I got there I changed into dry clothes and turned on the tv.
After a few hours the phone rang, I jumped up to
answer it. "Hello?"
"Ms. Worman?"
"Yes" I said, getting a bit nervous at the tone in the guys voice.
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but there's been an accident."
"An accident?" I replied trying to stay calm despite how scared I was feeling.
"Yes. Your boyfriend, Nick Carter, was injured when the fans rushed the stage at the concert. He's in critical condition with a 50% chance of surviving," The guy replied. I felt my heart drop.
As soon as I hung up the phone I grabbed for my car keys. The drive to the hospital was probably the worst one of my life. I was terrified for Nick. When I got there I was met practically at the door by Nick's best friend, Brian. He had a few bruises and stuff but nothing serious. He had obviously been crying. He hugged me and asked me if I wanted to see Nick. All I could do was nod my head.
He led me to the room and then let me go in alone.
As I entered the room the only sounds were the machines and Nick's light breathing. I sat down in the chair next to him, feeling tears well up in my eyes at the site of Nick lying so still.
"I can't lose you Nick" I whispered tears rolling down my cheeks. "I can't," I said. I was sobbing silently now. I laced my fingers through Nick's and squeezed his hand. After that I just kinda sat there
my heart aching. About 10 minutes later to my surprise Nick opened his eyes. "Nick?" I whispered, almost afraid to speak out loud.
"I love you" he whispered gently and then closed his eyes for the last time. I just broke down sobbing harder than I had been before.
A few days later was the funeral I was too upset to go. All I had been doing since Nick had died was sitting and crying. I knew everyone felt sorry for me but felt helpless to do anything.
After a week or so I knew to even start to get on with my life I needed to go to his grave. As I walked to the cemetery I passed Nick's house. I just stopped and stared at it, remembering all the time I had spent
with him there. I suddenly realized that I never again would be able to hold his hand or gaze into his bright blue eyes.
This realization struck me like a slap in the face. I suddenly just started crying right there in front of his old house for a long time. Finally I had no more tears and started walking.
It started raining and an icy wind began to blow. When I got there I walked past the rows of tombstone looking at each one until I found his.
As I knelt in front of Nick's grave all I could do was cry. I laid my hand on the cold, wet granite of the tombstone and for a second felt Nick's arms around me once again. As I stood to go, I removed my hand and then put it back.
"My heart will always stay with you Nick," I whispered quietly and left, knowing I would never forget the only guy I had ever loved.
