Amy gasped at what she saw. Sitting on a small cement bench were Nick and Laura....kissing.
Nick pulled away from the kiss and saw Amy run off into the house.
"Don't worry about her," Laura said sudectivly when she noticed his face.
Nick gave her a mean look then walked off to find Amy.
----------------------------------------------------
Amy ran into the house, tears streaming down her face. She ran into the closest room which was Kevin's. She figured he wasn't in there and she didn't want to go into her own room because she knew one of her friends would be in there.
She slammed the door and her legs crumpled under hear. She slid down the back of the door sobbing.
"Amy! Oh my God, whats wrong?"
She looked up through watery eyes and saw Kevin bent down infront of her.
He pulled her into his arms and set her on the bed. Her head lay on his chest and he ran his hands through her hair. "She calm down baby, whats wrong?"
She pulled back her tears. "It was Nick. I saw him kissing Laura."
"Aw sweetie!" He was acting like her father. Or the father she never really had. He gently pulled her head back on to his chest. His shirt was soon wet from tears.
"Do you want to talk to him?"
"No," she sniffeld. "I can't look at him now, ya know?"
"Yea, I understand." He rubbed her back and calmed her down.
She just sat there in his arms, as he rocked her back and forth. Never had she felt so safe.
"You know that your going to have to see him tonight at your party."
She pulled away from him. "What party?"
"I wasn't supposed to tell you, but we planned a party at a new club tonight, for you and Chrissy."
"Can I just stay home?" she laughed.
"Nope. Your going." He looked over at the clock on his nightstand. It was 7:30 PM. "Better start getting ready if we're going for 9:00 reservations."
"Thanks Kev," Amy said sarcasticly and flashed him a grin. She got up and walked out of the room. She walked down the hallway to her room.
Nick ran up behind her. "Amy, wait!"
"How could you!" She slammed the door in his face.
"Uh! Damn it!" He banged his fist on the wall in frustration.
Kevin walked out of his room and saw Nick. "You really screwed this one up. I suggest that if you really want her back then give her time. But now go to your house and get ready for the party."
Nick looked at him, took his advice, and left without a word.
Kevin went around the house and had everyone getting ready.
"Uh, my hair is all dry and shit. Now I gotta take a damn shower. Thanks for the suggestion of swimming non stop, Howie," Chrissy grinned.
"Me!" He said innocently. "Your the one who wanted to go swimming!"
She pushed him into his room and laughed.
After they all had taken showers and gotten dressed they walked into the living room to see how everyone looked.
Thorin walked out wearing a tight and short black skirt. She had a silver spagetti starpped shirt on and black heels. Her hair was down except for a few curls hanging around her face.
Chrissy came out wearing a outfit just like Thorin's except her skirt was white and her shirt was navy and had Tommy Girl written on it. Her white pumps jacked her up a few inches so now she was about 5'7. Her long hair was pulled back except for her bangs that were braided and pulled together and tied behind her head.
Amy walked out wearing her long navy Tommy Hilfiger skirt that she got at the mall. She had on a tiny white shirt that was spagetti strapped and came up a couple inches from her bellybutton. She had a silver belly chain around her waist and black strappy sandals. Her hair was pulled up into a bun and a few pieces were hanging all around her face. She also had tiny little butterfly clips in her hair and a silver figaro necklace. She wanted to show Nick what he lost.
The guys looked good. Kevin was wearing white pants and a white shirt with a black stripe across it. Howie had on a grey shirt and brown pants. Brian had a light blue shirt and black pants.
"You girls look beautiful. Are you ready to go?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah," Amy smiled and looped her arm though his friendly. Chrissy did the same thing to Howie as Thorin then did it to Brian's.
-------------------------------
They arrived at the club about 15 mintues because there was alot of traffic. Amy saw that the cemetary where her father was buried was just down the street of the club.
"You guys ready to party!?!" Brian said excidedly as he bounced around in front of them as they walked into the club.
Amy wasn't in the mood. Kevin and Thorin were the only one's who knew why, and it was going to say that way.
Thorin laughed and smacked Brian's arm. "Chill boy! We haven't even gotten inside yet!"
As they were walking Amy noticed Nick's car in the parking lot. "Oh great," she mumbled.
Kevin heard her and wrapped and arm around her bare waist. "Don't let it get to you."
Once they enterd the club they were takin back by the amout of dancing people and the loud music.
They all danced for a little while to all fast beat dances. Amy had tried to stay as far away from Nick and AJ as she could. Alot of the people had left and there was more room to move around.
Everyone sat down at a big table. Chrissy and Amy both sat at the ends since they were the birthday girls.
"Ok you guys, quiet down." Kevin raised his voice. "It's Chrissy and Amy's party, so we each take turns dancing with both of them."
Amy shot a glance at Kevin. She couldn't believe he had done that. She had no problem dancing with him, Howie or Brian, but she didn't want to dance with AJ because she wasn't sure how she felt about him yet. And there was Nick.....who she loved so much but hated so much at the same time.
Kevin and Howie both got up.
"May I please have this dance?" Howie asked Chrissy sweetly as a slow song came over the speakers.
"Yes!" She squeaked and jumped up, putting her small hand in his.
Kevin walked over to Amy and put his hand out. "May I?"
"Of course!" Amy smiled at him.
Thorin and Brian stood up and joined hands. They joined the other four on the dance floor.
AJ and Nick just sat there waiting patiently for their dances.
--------------------------------
"Thanks for everything," Amy whispered into Kevin's ear.
"Anytime," Kevin replied sweetly.
"And I'm sorry about Jessica."
Kevin pulled away and looked at her eyes then pulled her closer to his body. "So am I," he said sadly.
----------------------------------
Howie had his hands around Chrissy's waist and resting behind her back. Her long hair tickled his hands.
"Christine, I really enjoy spending time with you and thats why I want to know if you'd like to be more then friends, if you know what I mean...."
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Chrissy laughed. "I'd love to be your girlfriend."
He smiled and pulled her closer.
--------------------------------------
"Thorin?" Brian asked into her hair.
"Yeah?"
Brian stopped. "I've never felt this way about anyone else. I know that your the one for me, and I just want to say that I love you."
Thorin smiled even though he couldn't see her face. "I love you too."
-----------------------------------------
Nick watched Amy in Kevin's arms and wanted to be in his place more then anywhere else in the world. She was so precious and he couldn't stop scolding himself for hurting her.
-----------------------------------------
Soon the song was over and everyone switched places. Kevin sat down and AJ stood up, taking his palce in Amy's arms. Thorin and Chrissy traded men.
"Hey Chrissy, how do you like your party so far?" Brian asked.
"It's really nice, thanks alot."
-------------------------------------------
"Amy, I'm so sorry about earlier, I don't even know why I kissed you. I shouldn't have, it was really wrong. Do you forgive me?" AJ asked sweetly as they followed a simple slow dance to the music.
"AJ, yes I forgive you. Just forget it. I still want to be friends with you, but I don't think we can be anything more, ya know?"
"Yeah," AJ said slowly and saddly. "I know." After that kiss earlier he had fallen head over heels for Amy and couldn't get her out of his head.
----------------------------------------------
Once that song was over they switched again. After a couple more songs everyone was on there last dance. Amy had her last dance with Nick.
He carefully wrapped his arms around her, not sure what her responce would be.
Amy looked at his blue eyes. They were so trusting and comforting......but they were the same eyes that had broken her heart earlier.
The song "Lately" by Divine came over the speakers. Amy stepped closer into Nicks arms. She felt his arms around her bare waist and his grip became tighter.
"Amy.....I'm so sorry....."
She cut him off. "Save it Nick. I'll talk to you later about everything, but not now, just hold me."
Nick smiled and held her tight as they swayed to the music.
