Chapter 19

Elena: Open up your heart to me, and say what’s on your mind, I know that we have been through so much pain, but I still need you in my life this time, I need you tonight, I need you right now, I know deep within my heart, it doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or right, I really need you tonight.
Nick: (shocked) Oh.
(Elena continues with the song and at the end the guys join her.)
Elena: I really need you…tonight.
(Alexa, Liz, Sandra, and Kayla are all in the corner crying)
Alexa: Damn that was soooo cute!
Sandra: I know.
Kayla: Ohhhhh…I need a tissue.
(The guys get up and start to walk out the door)
Brian: We’ll leave you two alone.
Kevin: Come on girls.
Kayla: But I need a tissue and the box is over there.
Kevin: No Kayla…come on.
Kayla: But…but…fine. I’ll use your shirt then.
Kevin: Sure fine, let’s go.
(They all leave and Elena and Nick are left alone)
Nick: Wow!
Elena: I’m sorry.
Nick: Wow!
Elena: Ok stop saying that.
Nick: That was…no one’s every sung to ME before.
Elena: There’s a first time for everything.
Nick: I guess so.
Elena: Nick…(she sits next to him on the couch) I’m sorry. I should’ve told you. I should have talked to you about what I was feeling. I’m sorry.
Nick: Don’t apologize. I should have realized that you needed time. I was an idiot.
Elena: Yes you were, but it was my fault.
Nick: You know you can tell me anything right?
Elena: Yes.
Nick: You want to talk now.
Elena: (looks down) Yes (sniff)
Nick: Lane…I love you.
Elena: I…(looks up into his eyes) I love you too.
(They kiss)
Elena: Nick…I…my grandmother died.
Nick: I know.
Elena: I miss her. (She starts to cry) I miss her soooo much. I…I…(starts to bawl)
Nick: (puts his arms around her) I know Lane…I know.
