"Umm,what do you mean everything?" Haylie said playing dumb. "We saw...you and Nick..." "Chrissy...you guys can't tell ANYONE okay? I mean.. please don't tell anybody okay?" "Alright,we know that and we made a pact not to say anything,k? I promise I won't either." She gave a long deep,stressed sigh,"Okay Chris..I trust you..and the rest of the girls." "That's good because you know you can always trust me..and probably the rest of the girls to." "Probably?!" She laughed,"You can COMPLETELY trust them if that makes you feel better alright? I've known them forever and so have you...you should have a little more faith in them Haylie." Haylie smiled lightly,"Yeah,I know...I do...I do have faith." "Well,that's good."Then,for a moment or two..silence was all there was. "Look,I have to go..I'm gonna go do some thinking alright? I'll talk to you later." "Okay cool,Haylie..one more thing.." "What?" "I knew it...I always did." "Knew what?" She giggled softly,"I always knew you had a thing for Nick!" "Ha,ya know Chirssy,I bet you did..." "Well,I'll let you go then,bye." "Mm Hm,bye." She said giving Christina the impression she was almost mad at her. Haylie looked at the beautiful sparkling ocean before her,having the beach almost completly to herself. She had always been grateful that the beach was walking distance to her house and everytime she needed to think she depended on the beach to be her house of thoughts. She closed her eyes and felt the cool breeze all over her face,and it gave her chills up her spine. But the next thing she new she seen a shadow in the corner of her eye. Trying to ignore it,she just looked at the wonderious sunset about to take place,the thing she always looked foward to on days like this. The next thing she knew there was someone standing right next to her,being starteled she gave a small shriek,"Sh,it's okay it's just me." Haylie looked to the person next to her that said it. "Nick. Hey.What are you doing here?" "My sister told me there was a beach over here,and I knew I needed to relax...and think." "Cool." She tried to ignore him..she tried not to make it not to obvious the only thing on her mind was him. "I'm not to happy about leaving you know..." "Leaving?" "Yeah..I'm a 'bsb' rememeber? I have to go back on tour." "Don't you want to see all your adoring fans?" She joked. "Yeah,it's just...I was just beginning to get used to this place..and the people here." "Hm,I understand. Well,hey,I better go okay?" Haylie turned to walk away when Nick stopped her,"Um,I'm gonna miss you to..." "Yeah..I know...same here." She looked up into his perfect blue eyes and before she even knew it,her lips were on his. The way Haylie felt,their lips were made especially for eachother and when she felt his soft lips she felt so right. Haylie softly massaged his right arm while still kissing him passionatly savoring the kiss when he all of a sudden quickly backed away,"I'm sorry." He mumbled once again,and this time,he walked away...as fast as he could..and just...left. Haylie just stood there dumbfounded,wondering,again,what just happend..and why everytime,he would back away. She closed her eyes and touched her lips,feeling them she noticed they were still warm from the kiss,"Damn...why does he keep doing this?!" She said hurt,and she slowly walked towards her house. ** Haylie walked up to her driveway and looked back,and looked up the Carter house across the street from hers..she looked up in the window and saw Nick putting things in a box..'I guess he's packing.' She thought sarcastically to herself. He noticed her eyes on him and looked her at her stright in the eye,for a split second and then nervously looked away,pretending he didn't see her at all. Haylie put her hands in her jacket,and looked at the ground for a minute and then ran inside the house. Tears fell from her eyes as she went up the stairs and into her room. "What's the matter with you Haylie?",She said looking at herself in the mirror,"You can't love him! You can't!...You shouldn't even LIKE him...UGH!" All of a sudden her door opened,"Haylie,it's time to stop keeping things from me! What happend and why are you crying?!" Her mother asked being more concerned than before. "I don't know!I mean..I wish I knew. One minute I think he likes me...the next I don't know what he's thinking about me." "Nick,right?" "Yeah,Nick." "Honey,just give him some time okay? Maybe he's just scared...didn't he just get out of a tough relationship?" "Yeah,but mom you forgot I did to..." "I know sweetheart,but,maybe..you fell in love faster than he did..or maybe,he just doesn't relize he loves you yet.." "I know..I just wish he would let me be the one to know.." "I know Haylie..soon enough though. You really love him don't you?" "I'm not sure..." ** *'I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You' playing in the backround.* "Girl,go outside and say bye NOW!" "No! I can't! I'm too nervous!" "Don't tell me you wore that new red dress for nothing! Now go!" Chrissy pushed her best friend Haylie outside the front door and then closed it. Haylie stood outside looking at Nick and Brian putting their things in the big,green van they were going to drive to the airport in. She wore her new red,bandana patterned dress she had just bought. Finally she got the nerve to go up to him,"Hey." She said trying not to show her nervousness. "Hey." He mumbled,trying to ignore her at first. Brian just looked at Nick,shocked at his behavior,"So,um,when are you coming back?"She asked "I don't know yet. I'm kinda busy now..." "Yeah,sure. I guess I'll see you whenever..." "Uh huh,whenever." And then he just looked away and went on with his packing. Haylie just slowly walked away when she turned around one more time Brian threw her a confused look,wondering why Nick was acting this way. And for the second time...Haylie felt the worse pain she ever felt..heartbreak.. Chapter 7 Index Main Page
