Chapter 15
He slammed the cover down on the keys and stood. He never should've played that, never. Chances were that she didn't know it was about them, she'd pretty much shut everything from their past out anyway. Suddenly he was overwhelmed with a deep anger and hurt.
Turning he headed up the stairs and to his room, stopping by her door listening before walking into his room and shutting the door. Nyla heard the door shut and looked down at her phone, opening it, she dialed quickly. She waited while the phone tried to connect, finally it was ringing and a few seconds later, her mom picked up.
"Hello?"
"Mom?"
"Nyla! Honey where are you?"
"Nick and I are stuck in some abandoned mansion in Buffalo. We're stuck in the middle of a really bad storm."
"Oh god, are you two ok?"
"We're fine Mom, just stuck."
"What are you going to do? Do you have food? Water?"
"We have some food and water Mom, we'll be fine. Tomorrow we're gonna start dividing things up and deciding how we want to use things so it can last as long as possible. How's Grandma?"
"There's no change, she's holding her own. These next few days are critical."
"I'm really trying Mom, so is Nick."
"Well...I...and...say..."
The line was starting to break up, she'd knew she had to end the call. "Mom, you're starting to break up, I'm gonna get going. I'll call you again when I'm able to."
"Ok honey...just...ful and...I...or...ok?"
"Sorry Mom, I can't understand you. I'm gonna go. I love you, give Grandma a hug for me. Love you!"
"Love you too baby...bye!"
Nyla hung up and slumped back on the bed. Sighing, she remembered she was supposed to call Scott and let him know how things were going. Dialing, she waited. It seemed to take even longer to get a connection, but she managed to and got to talk to Scott for a bit and tell him what was going on, before the connection broke and she couldn't even get a dial tone.
Tossing the phone down, closing her eyes, snuggling under the covers and drifting off suddenly.

Nick listened, it was quiet. Maybe she was asleep. Reaching over, he grabbed his coat, pulling his cell out and called his Mom and manager and let them know what was going on. He was in the midst of talking to Celeste, when the phone went completely dead. Groaning he tossed the phone onto his coat and stood, walking over to the window to look out. He wished he knew how long they were gonna be there for, but he had no idea.
This would either make or break them as friends. He wished he knew the outcome ahead of time, but things didn't work that way. Sighing he turned and made his way back over to the bed, quickly stripping down before slipping under the covers and drifting off.
