Chapter 5

It had been a week since that night. The night Nick lost the love of is life. "No! She's not gone yet! I will get her back!" Nick repeated over and over in his mind.

He had everything planned out. He would remake the day he asked her out. As Nick walked to Melisa's house, happy memories from the past filled his head. Their first date, their first kiss, the day he asked her to be his girlfriend, the first time she said that she loved him, the first time they made love. It was all comming back, yet it was missing something. As if they were just memories and nothing more. As if that's all they were meant to be. Memories.

Nick climbed the familiar tree that led to Melisa's bedroom. He smiled as he remembered the day he asked her to be his girlfriend.

****FLASHBACK****

Nick climbed the tall oak tree that led to Melisa's bedroom. He couldn't remember ever being attracted to someone as much as Melisa. Ever since the first day he saw her at the recording studio, he knew that he needed her. Now here he was, climbing a tree to serenade the girl of his dreams.

He threw a pebble at her window, waiting for it to open. She opened the window, looking as beautiful as ever. Her soft brown hair tucked blowing with the breeze. Her eyes reflecting the moonlight. She was just as he always imagined her. She was wearing a pale yellow nightgown that blew along with her hair.

"Nick?" she asked ever so sweetly. "What are you doing here?"

Nick pressed a finger to her lips, silently telling her to be quiet and just listen. He began singing the song that many wished to be sung to.

" Open up your heart to me
And say what’s on your mind,

I know that we have been through so much pain
But I still need you in my life this time, and…

I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or right
'Cause I see heaven in your eyes

I figured out what to say to you
But sometimes the words, come out so wrong,

And I know in time that you will understand
That what we have is so right this time, and…

I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or right

All those endless times we tried to make it last forevermore
And baby I know
I need you
I know deep within my heart
It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or right

'Cause I see heaven

I need you tonight

I need you right now

I know deep within my heart

It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right

'Cause I see heaven in you eyes..."

Nick finished the song with his eyes closed. As he opened them, he saw the tears streaming down Melisa's face. He began to panick, but was put to ease with her words.

"That was the most beautiful thing anyone has ever done for me." She said, a smile evident in her voice.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Nick asked in a whisper.

"I would be crazy not to accept. Nick Carter, I will be your girlfriend."

Nick began to get giddy. He got so giddy that he forgot that he was in a tree. Before he knew it, he lay on the ground, pain shooting through his body. Melisa was soon by his side. "Are you ok Nick? Does it hurt?" She asked.

Nick just smiled, "It was worth it!" Melisa bent down and passionatly kissed Nick, leaving him breathless. "Yeah, it was worth it." Nick repeated.

****END FLASHBACK****

Nick sighed if only things could go back to being that way again. "They will be!" His mind told him. He threw a pebble at her window, waiting for her familiar figure in the pale yellow nightgown.

Sure enough, 2 seconds later, Melisa opened the window. She seemed as if she had been crying. Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot, her lips pouty. "What are you doing here?"

Nick put a finger to his lips silencing her and telling her to listen. He felt history repeat itself except now instead of singing "I need you tonight" he would sing "It's true."

Even a lover makes a mistake sometimes

Like any other

Fall out and lose his mind

And I'm sorry for the things I did

For your teardrops over words I said

Can you forgive me and open your heart once again?

"It's true

I mean it

From the bottom of my heart

Yeah, it's true

Without you I would fall apart

Whatever happened

I know that I was wrong, oh yeah

Can you believe me

Maybe your faith is gone

But I love you, and I always will

So I wonder if you want me still

Can you forgive me and open you heart once again?

Oh yeah

It's true

I mean it

From the bottom of my heart

Yeah, it's true

Without you I would fall apart

I'd do anything to make it up to you

So please understand

And open your heart once again

It's true

I mean it

From the bottom of my heart, (the bottom of my heart)

Yeah it's true

Without you I would fall apart

It's true

I mean it

From the bottom of my heart,

Yeah it's true

Without you I would fall apart..."

He opened his eyes and whispered. "Will you give me another chance?"

Melisa nodded, one hand covering her mouth to keep her from bawling. "I would be crazy not to accept."

Nick got caught up in the moment as he leaned in to kiss her, but forgot he was on a tree. Once again, he found himself on the ground, Melisa next to him. "Nick, I think you have bad luck with trees."

Nick laughed as he pressed his lips against hers. "It was worth it!"
