Chapter 16
"Yo man, our little Nicky is growing up." AJ said smiling.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Bone?" Brian asked.
"Nothing. Damn, that chick was HOT!"
"AJ, shut up! Nick wouldn't do that. I know him, and thats not right. I can tell Lindsay has feelings for him and I think Nick has feelings for her. He just wouldn't do that." Brian said sitting on the bed.
"Yo, Brian...Are you blind or something. I think Linds has got the hots for you." Brian's head bolted up.
"Are you smoking something?" Brian asked looking at AJ. He just shrugged.
Nick heard the entire convo with Bri and AJ. Nick began to think. Does she really like Brian? I shouldn't worry about this. Nick thought as he got into bed. Just then Brian came into the room and hopped into the other bed. Him and Nick were sharing a room and thats why he walked in on Nick.
~My House (Sunday Night) ~
"Thanks for the ride, Dallas." I said stepping out of her red convertible.
"No prob, Linds. See ya in school tomorrow." Dallas, Kristin, and I had been
at the mall for a few hours. I decided to get a new bathing suit and I got
a new hat for Nick since someone took his. I had a hat made up for him that
read 'KAOS'. I had a feeling that was the one taken. I ran into my house
and wrapped Nick's hat in a big box and iridescent green wrapping paper.
I always have extra. :) I went to sleep thinking about the guys in New York.
Before I knew it, a week had flown by. The boys were finally coming home.
I was really happy. I had talked to them a few times. Brian told me about
some chick Nick was with the other night, but he was positive nothing happened.
It kinda bothered me at first, but Kristin, Dallas, and I hung out almost
everyday, so my mind was easliy pulled away from thoughts of Nick. Also,
Derrick asked me to go to a club with him tonight. He said he would have
me home by 9:00, so I agreed to go. I also wanted to see the guys when they
got back. It was almost 7:00 when I heard the doorbell ring. That must be
Derrick. I ran downstairs to answer the door. I opened it and he was standing
there in black pants and a dark blue dress shirt. He looked good. I needed
to get something on my feet, so I let him in and ran up the stairs to get
my boots. I was wearing black dress pants, and a light blue dress shirt.
My hair was half up in light blue star clips and I had curled it a litle.
It looked cute. I ran back downstairs and we were off. he said I looked really
nice...yadda, yadda, yadda. We went to a club called "Underground". I was
really dark, but it was SLAMMIN'! As soon as we got in, we began to dance
to Amber's "Sexual". It was awesome. We found a table after the song and
sat down. We talked about school, and he talked about past girlfriends. I
couldn't say anything, considering I had never had a boyfriend. I ordered
a few sodas and by the third glass I wasn't feeling too good. I began to
feel dizzy. Derrick mad me dance with him for a few more songs and on the
third one, I almost passed out. I guess we decided to leave. It was kinda
fuzzy, but I remember Derrick talking to the bartender before we left. I
couldn't hear a thing. The music was loud and my eyes were beginning to close.
Before I knew it, I was laying down in the sand. The only think I could imagine,
was Derrick dropped me off and I walked to the beach, but I couldn't remember.
I felt a pain near my lower back just as I heard someone running on the beach
calling my name. I couldn't make out who it was. I touched my back lightly
to feel a little bandage. I removed the bandage and turned my neck so I could
see what was on my back. I looked at my back as my eyes grew wide. "Holy
shit!" I said before I collapsed on the sand again.
"Lindsay... Lindsay..." I heard faintly. I couldn't open my eyes. I felt
a soft hand on my cheek and I felt someone throw my arm around their shoulder.
I could tell I was somewhat being dragged across he beach. Then I heard a
few more voices and a door open and close. I knew there were male voices
and then I heard an older woman. She was about my mom's age. I wanted to
know what was going on and decided to try to open my eyes. It was really
bright, but I could see Nick on the phone, Jane in the kitchen wetting a
towel, and the other guys huddled around me.
"Nick, get off the phone, she's up!" Brian yelled.
"Yeah, she's alive." AJ said sounding like Dr. Frankenstein. I cracked a
smile and tried to lift my head up. It wayed a ton. Nick ran to my side just
as I closed my eyes again. I reached up and began to rub the star charm on
my necklace.
