Well, it was said that Stephanie walked out of Nick's life for forever or so she thought and hoped.
It's about a year later, around Christmas time again.
During the past year, Stephanie had been at college and now she was coming home for Christmas and Nick and the guys had gotten the record deal that they wanted and were on the their first head-lining tour.
~*About A Week Before Christmas*~
Stephanie had just gotten home and so did Nick and the guys but they had no idea that they were both home.
Amanda had come over to Stephanie's house because they were going to be going to the mall.
~*At the Mall*~
Stephanie and Amanda went to lunch at McDonalds.
As they were walking out, Nick, AJ, and Brian were walking in.
"Hello, Stephanie." Nick said. "Hi." she said.
Then there were a few seconds of uncomfortable silence.
"So how are you?" Nick said. "Ok and you?" Stephanie said. "Fine. So how's college?" "It's better than being here." "What do you mean by that?" "I think you know." "What is your problem?" "What do you think?" "I'm trying to make the best of this." "It's your fault." "I know. Why do you have to be like this? It's been a year." "I don't care. You did what you did and I'm not about to forgive you for it." "I can't take this anymore." "I can't take you anymore." "Why do you have to make this so hard for everybody?" "Who am I making this hard for?" "Me and you. Can't you forgive me?" "No. You really hurt me. Me and Amanda have to go." "I can't stand you when your like this." "That's ok. You don't have to."
This whole time, they were screaming at each other.
"She told you. Didn't she?" AJ said. "Bite me." Nick said. "No thanks."
Stephanie and Amanda walked away and Nick, Brian, and AJ went into McDonalds.
Little did Stephanie and Nick know, they would be running into each other again very soon.
