Hours later the concert had started and Nick still couldn’t get Sandy to talk to him, she had refused as she sat in his dressing room. Nick had tried everything he could think of to tell her he was sorry. Lisa had watched them and wondered what Nick was going to do make her understand. Kevin watched his young friend as fumbled around under the stage to get his things.
" Nick don’t worry she will forgive you." Kevin said trying to get him to calm down.
" She hates me." He said looking at him. The next song was about to start and they needed to get up there.
" Don’t worry Nick. We will talk to her after the show." Kevin said leading him back to the stage. Lisa had gotten Sandy come out of the dressing room to watch the show.
" I don’t want to be out here Lisa." Sandy said
" I don’t care. You can’t stay mad at him forever and he did try to explain what had happened and I also found out that if you had looked Brian was in that room too."
" He was I didn’t see him. All I saw was Nick kissing some girl." She said turning and looking at her friend.
" You were to upset to look." Lisa pointed out to her. Lisa smiled as several dancers approached them.
" We need to take you up there." The said looking at Sandy, she looked at Lisa who shrugged her shoulders as Sandy’s chair was lifted and she was brought onto the stage. Brian moved over to her and wheeled her all the way onto the stage. Fans screamed and waved as she came into view. Sandy smiled and blushed as she looked out at the signs and everyone who held them.
" Sandy I know I have done things that have made you cry after I had told you I never would." Nick said coming over to her. Sandy looked towards him as he spoke. A tune began to play as Brian moved forward and brought the microphone to his mouth to sing.
" Even a lover makes a mistake some times. Like any other fall out and loose 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"
" What ever happened I know that I was wrong? Can you believe me or maybe your faith is gone."
Nick got down in front of her for his verse.
" But I love you and I always will so I wonder if you want me still. Can you forgive me and open your heart once again."
Sandy smiled as Nick got down on his knees in front of her. His own blue eyes filled with tears as he looked at her. She looked into his eyes and reached out and touched his face. She loved him with all her heart and knew she couldn’t stay mad at him.
" I love you." She said looking at him. She whipped the tears from his eyes and pulled him close so she could kiss him. Brian smiled as the song came to an end and looked at the duo.
" Baby I am so sorry for what had happened. I never meant to hurt you. I didn’t think me kissing a fan would do that to you." Tears still ran down his cheeks as she pulled him to a sitting position in her lap.
" I know. Please don’t cry Nicky. I know that you would never hurt me." She kissed his lips. Fans roared as the two made up. Sandy held Nicky in her arms as he cried and then finally composing himself he kissed her again and stood. He helped her off the stage and went to wash his face so he could go back on stage to be with the rest of the guys.
Three days later Sandy and Nick were well on they’re way to getting back to the way they had been.
" Hey you two" Lisa started when she entered the bus. She could hear giggling.
" What?" She heard Nick ask. Sandy giggled more and Lisa wondered what those two were up to.
" Nick Sandy I hope you both are decent." Lisa said walking down the hall towards the room that she knew they were in. She pushed the door opened and blushed as a rather Naked Nick looked up at her.
" Hey there Lisa." Nick said almost laughing.
" I uh I didn’t you two hear me calling to you?"
" Nope." Sandy said looking past Nick. " Sorry Lisa seriously we didn’t hear you."
" I can see that. Nick please put on something. Anything at all." Lisa said her face now a bright crimson red.
" Awe Lisa can’t handle seeing me this way." Nick said reaching for his shorts and quickly pulling them on. Lisa sat down on the bed and watched Sandy as she rolled over on to her back and pull the sheets up further. Nick sat back down and kissed Sandy.
" What was it you needed Lisa?" Sandy asked looking past Nick again.
" I just wanted to let you know we will be leaving soon."
" Ok. And just telling us threw the door would have done what for u?"
" Oh shut up."
Three days later Sandy sat outside the arena looking at the stars late at night the show had ended she was waiting for everyone to be ready to go. Geo was supposed to be watching her but had been called back inside. Sandy leaned back against the back of her chair and listened to the sound of the trucks being loaded.
" Sandy?" She heard a calm male voice ask.
" That’s me." She said never really turning the chair around. She felt hands on her shoulders. Thinking maybe it was another guard she paid it no mind. His hand drifted down her body and she wiggled a little as it made her feel uncomfortable.
" Don’t." She said.
" But you always liked it when I touched you." His voice now playful. Sandy looked up and saw Matthew standing over her.
"NICK! GEO ANYONE!" She screamed as his hand clamped over her mouth.
" Baby didn’t you miss me?" He said moving in front of her his hand still on her mouth. He looked up past her as two more men walk forward.
" What about that fiancée of hers?"
" I want his ass dead. He took her from me." He said looking up at them. Tears ran down Sandy’s cheeks. She heard the door open behind them. But they were out of site so someone would have to come looking for where her screaming had come from.
" Damn it Sandy you have a big mouth. Secure her I want her in that van now." Matthew said. The men moved forward and tied her arms directly to her chair. A gag swiftly pulled into place. She struggled to free herself from them. Tears ran down her cheeks as the person she had heard came into view. Nick looked around not seeing her in the darkness. She made a noise to get his attention. Matthew and his friends had moved back so he couldn’t see them.
" Oh my god, San are you ok baby?" He came to her side. " Geo I found her bring the others" He called out. She struggled as he looked towards where Geo was coming from she needed him to look at her. Nick looked down at her seeing that she was trying to get his attention. He moved the gag so she could talk.
" Nick he is right there."
" He who honey?" He said as he heard a noise. Matthew came into view
" How did you get out of jail?" Nick hissed at him.
" Probation does wonders. I have been watching you both for a while I know your security detail and watch how they change shifts." He said laughing at Nick. Nick put his hands on Sandy’s chair and pulled it backwards. Nick looked to see Geo and Randy coming towards him. He was trying to get her away from Matthew. Matthew raised a gun at them.
" Matthew please you said you loved me but yet you wont let me move on. Let me find someone else to love." Sandy pleaded with him.
" You always said you would love me and that you would never leave me."
" Matthew you beat me. I couldn’t stay with you any more. I never said I didn’t love you. I will always love you." She said hopping he would just leave.
" But he took you away from me." He hissed raising the gun at Nick.
" I left you and I have paid for that you took the use of my legs from me because you didn’t want me to leave you. And yet you call that love. You don’t know what love is." She screamed at him. She could see that his two friends had vanished when Geo and Randy had come into view. Randy came up behind Matthew and was about to tackle him when Kevin beat him to it. Kevin tackled Matthew and struggled for the gun as it suddenly went off.
" KEVIN!" Lisa screamed as the two men stopped moving.
" OH! Please no Kevin?" Sandy looked up at Nick as Geo untied her hands. She reached out once her hands were free. Kevin slowly got up with Nick’s help.
" Kevin tell me your ok" Lisa said moving forward.
" I’m fine. Has anyone been hurt? San are you ok?"
" Yea scared but fine." Sandy answered. " Is he dead?"
" I don’t know." Kevin answered as he heard police cars in the distance.
" He’s dead." Randy said standing slowly. " And he is still holding his gun. It just went off its not anyone’s fault."
" I fought him for the gun."
" And you’re lucky not to have been killed." Lisa said taking his face in her hands. He leaned into her touch and looked into her worried blue eyes.
" Hey I am fine." He said as he pulled her close.
" Baby are you sure your ok?" Nick asked getting down so he was next to her chair. He could see she wanted to cry. Lisa looked as her friend.
" Honey he can’t hurt you any more." Lisa said holding Kevin close. She could feel Kevin was shaking badly he was shaken up but not hurt.
" Kevin you ok?" Sandy asked holding Nick’s hand.
" I killed him. I actually killed him." Kevin said when the events finally set in.
" Kevin it was an accident. He was going to kill Nicky." Lisa said running her fingers threw his hair.
" Everyone to their buses now." Randy said looking at them. He remained where he was as Geo escorted everyone to the buses.
