Chapter Four - Last Flight Out
~ 3 hours before the concert ~
Miguel finally shows up.
"Miguel, where have you been?" Lori asked.
"What do you mean?" Miguel asked.
"I thought we're supposed to have dinner last night." Lori said.
"Oh... I forgot, I'm really sorry Lori."
"Don't do that next time, okay?"
"k... sweetie." Miguel said.
Nick is looking at them the whole time, only that no one realizes.
~ 3 months later ~
The concerts are going on really well. They just work together better and better. Only one thing changes, Miguel is gaining popularity in the past 3 months and he has less and less time to spend with Lori. Lori and the band are leaving for the BSB Europe tour with the Boys tomorrow.
"Hello Miguel?" Lori calls him.
<Yea... wassup Lori.>
"I'm leaving tomorrow... do you have time so we can meet?" Lori asked.
<sweetie, I'm really busy... but I promise I'll go to the airport on time tomorrow. I'll be there, don't worry, k?>
"Okay... I'll see you tomorrow then, bye.>
~ At the airport -- 2:00 pm ~
<Boarding for Flight #281, from Orlando to London>
Nick sees Lori standing there. He walks over. "Hey Lori... it's time to go now."
"Oh Nick... you can go first, I'm waiting for Miguel, he promised he'll be here before I leave." Lori answered.
Nick thought for a second and said, "I'll wait with you."
Minutes just fly by, Nick and Lori are seating there, seeing tons of people passing by, but still, Miguel doesn't show up yet.
<Attention all travellers. Final boarding for flight #281 from Orlando to London. Attention all travellers. Final boarding for...>
Lori holds her tears and stands up with her bags, "Let's go Nick!"
"Ya sure?" Nick asks.
"It's finally boarding call already, if he's coming, he should be here before now." Lori said.
Nick stands up and follows Lori, he's really worry about Lori. They get on the plane and sit down. AJ and Howie are sitting behind them, AJ stands up and leans over to the seats in front of him.
"What takes you guys so long?" AJ asks.
Nick slowly shakes his head. AJ knows what he means, so he tabs Nick's shoulder lightly and sits back.
Lori remains silent. Then, when she cannot hold her tears anymore, she runs to the restroom. When she comes back out, Nick is standing there, waiting for her.
"Lori, are you okay?"
"Yea... I'm fine..." She sniffs.
"It's good crying it out, at least you will feel better." Nick said.
"Thanks Nick. It's just that in these few months, especially since Miguel gets famous, all his promises never come true. He seems like he don't care about this relationship anymore."
"Well, I know I shouldn't be saying this, but the way he is treating you is wrong." Nick said.
"Maybe you're right Nick." They head back to their seats.
Nick then whispers, "One lucky guy, I wish I were him."
Lori turns around, "What did you say Nick?"
"Oh nothing... I just said I'm tired." Nick smiles. And when Lori turns her head back. Nick whispers again, "Oops..."
