Chapter 48

Nick's View

I feel so bad right now. Why did I have to kiss Tiffany? Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it, who wouldn't but I didn't think Darlene would walk in on us. I feel horrible. I didn't want to hurt her, now she's probably never going to forgive me. I love her and I always will.

"NICK CAN YOU GO FASTER!?" Brian yelled at me from the back seat. When we left the house Tiffany was going to sit with Darlene but Brian pushed her out of the way and got in instead, so right now Darlene and Brian are in the back, I'm driving and Tiffany is sitting quietly next to me.

"I'm trying! Stop bugging me! We're almost there," I said speeding past the cars on the highway.

"OW! It hurts so much!" Darlene yelled holding her stomach in pain.

"Just hang in there," Tiffany said turning around.

"Shut up bitch!" Darlene yelled. Tiffany frowned and turned back around. I pulled up to the entrance and stopped the car. I jumped out and ran around the car and swung open the door. Brian jumped out and helped Darlene get out. Tiffany was just standing there watching. I was trying to help Darlene into the hospital but Brian keep pushing me off her.

I ran to the doors and held them open as Brian and Darlene past me. Tiffany walked in after me slowly trying to not get in the way. I ran up to the desk and said, "My girlfriend is in labor."

"Just sign these forms and we'll get her to a room," the lady said handing me a clipboard. I took them and rushed over to Darlene who was being put into a wheelchair.

"Are you the father?" a nurse asked me.

"Yes, yes I am," I said.

"OK, you can come with us but you two need to stay here," she said looking at Brian and Tiffany. They nodded their heads and went to sit in some chairs. Brian went to one side of the room as Tiffany went to the other side and sat down. I followed the nurse wheeling Darlene into one of the rooms.

"Are you OK honey?" I asked. She just glared at me.

"Let's get you on the bed here," the nurse said helping Darlene out of the wheelchair and helping her to sit down. She then walked over to the closet and pulled out a hospital gown. She walked back over and handed it to me, "You need to help her into one of these."

I took it and said, "OK."

The nurse then left the room and closed the door behind her. I looked over at Darlene and slightly smiled. She just looked away. I walked up to her and said, "Get up so I can help you into this."

"I'm not doing anything with you," she said. "I'll do it myself."

She snatched it out of my hands and walked, well actually waddled, over to the bathroom. She walked in and closed the door. I'm going to have to do something big to let her forgive me. She's really pissed at me right now.

Brian's View

I pulled out my cell phone and dialed AJ's number. After 3 rings he answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Bone, get down to the hospital right now. Darlene went into labor about 15 minutes ago.

"WOW! Is she OK?"

"Yeah she'll be fine. Can you call the other guys to come down here too?"

"Yeah sure thing, We'll be there soon."

"OK," I said and hung up the phone. I looked up and saw Tiffany looking at me. I glared at her and looked down. She broke up with me for Nick. I didn't see it coming at all. Yeah I know we've grown apart but we could've worked it out but no she had to end our long relationship and start making out with Nick. I'm really hurt right now.

I looked back up and saw Tiffany fiddling with her hands. She looked like she was about to cry but I didn't really care. She mad me cry but she didn't show any sympathy towards me so why should I show sympathy towards her? I still don't get it. I really believed that she was the one for me but now I think it was the biggest mistake to go out with her. I still love her but we'll never be the same. I feel so sorry for Christian and Michelle. How are we supposed to work that out? Who's going to take care of them? I don't want them to grow up without parents that aren't together. I don't know if they could handle it.

I sighed and put my hands in my hands. My life is a living hell. What did I ever do to deserve this?

Colleen's View

AJ and I walked into the hospital and saw Brian with his head in his hands on one side of the room and Tiffany sitting on the other side of the room.

"Why are they so far apart?" I asked looking at AJ. He shrugged and said, "I have no clue."

"Go talk to Brian and I'll go see Tiffany," I said. AJ smiled at me and kissed me lightly on the lips.

"What was that for?"

"For being so beautiful," he smiled and then walked over to Brian. I grinned and walked over to Tiffany and sat next to her.

"Hey Tiff," I said. She looked at me and slightly smiled, "Oh hey."

"How's Darlene?"

"Um…we haven't heard anything yet. We just got here 10 minutes ago. I think she's doing OK though."

"That's good to hear. I can't wait! Another Backstreet baby!"

Tiffany smiled and slightly giggled. I smiled and looked over at Brian who had a couple of tears streaming down his face and AJ listening with a serious face.

"What's up with Bri?" I asked pointing to Brian. Tiffany turned her head and then turned back to me.

"He's mad along with Darlene."

"What happened?" I asked.

"Darlene and Brian walked in on Nick and me kissing," she said softly.

"Kissing?! You and Nick kissing!?" I asked shocked.

"Well…actually we were kinda making out."

"What!?"

"Colleen, don't get mad please," Tiffany begged.

"What made this happen?"

"We were talking and I just lightly kissed him on the lips just as a thanks for him being so caring and nice."

"And how did this come into a make out session?"

"Well, Nick kissed me back and it just progressed into deep kissing and that's when Darlene and Brian came in."

"Wow," I said quietly. "Do you regret it?"

She just nodded her head.

"Why do you regret it? I figured you wouldn't care since you're not in a relationship."

"I want Brian back," she said quietly.

"You what?"

"I want Brian back," she repeated.

"What brought this on? I thought you didn't love him."

"That's what I thought too but…I just got to thinking…and then seeing him so sad and depressed and then when I saw his really hurt face when he walked in on Nick and I. That just mad me realized that I was lucky to have him."

"So you do still love him?'

"Yeah I do, I love him more than anything. That kiss Nick and I had just made me realize that I do really love him. I feel horrible. I'm such a bitch."

"You're not a bitch Tiffany," I said setting me hand on her shoulder.

"Yes I am! I'm always hurting somebody for no reason. How could Brian put up with me?"

"He loves you that's why," I said. Tiffany looked at me and then at Brian.

"I put him through hell."

"Yeah you did but I bet he'll forgive you," I said. She frowned and shook her head, "No he won't. We're over."

"You're not over unless both of you don't love each other anymore and you both love each other still."

"Does he still love me?"

"Sure looks like it," I said motioning over to Brian. He was really upset. "Look at him. If he didn't love you he wouldn't be that upset."

"I guess you're right."

"I'm always right," I smiled. She smiled and me and sighed. I feel so sorry for her. Her life is like a roller coaster that never stops. I don't think I would have survived what she has to go through. I guess she just has bad luck.
