Chapter 4

(Back with the guys) Howie:  Where’s the live entertainment?  It’s 3 AM already. AJ:  Face it man…she ain’t comin. Howie:  But but… Kevin:  AJ, you should get some sleep…we don’t want you to pass out at the altar now do we? AJ:  Nope…I guess we should go. Brian:  Nick and I just started this round of pool…we’ll close up. Kevin:  Ok…sounds good…now come on AJ…I’m taking you to Howie’s house. Howie:  But…we can’t leave…we haven’t seen the live entertainment yet. AJ:  Let it go man…let it go.   See y’all tomorrow…bright and early. Nick:  11:30 is not early. AJ:  For me it is.  Night guys.  (Kevin, AJ, and a reluctant Howie leave the pool hall) Brian:  (looks at Nick) All right…spill it…now. Nick:  What are you talking about? (Takes a shot) Brian:  You and Elena?  What’s the story?  If you don’t tell me…I might hurt you. Nick:  (sigh) I don’t know what happened. Brian:  Wanna talk about it?  Cause I mean I know you were thinking about…you know…then I find out you broke up. Nick:  Well…sit down Frick. Brian:  (sits down) Spill it. Nick:  (sits down next to Brian) Well…we ummmm…you know…did it. Brian:  And you didn’t tell me?! Nick:  Sorry…but it gets worse. Brian:  Uh oh. Nick:  She was late and thought she was pregnant…but wasn’t…that’s what we had to “talk” about when we got back from the Bahamas. Brian:  Man. Nick:  She said we were going too fast and that we needed space…and poof she got it. Brian:  And that Tasha girl? Nick:  Her name is Trish…and it’s not serious. Brian:  I hope not…come on…let’s finish this game and then close up. Nick:  K…(gets up) and Bri? Brian:  (gets up and goes to take a shot) Yea? Nick:  I miss Lane. Brian:  (takes the shot, looks at Nick, and puts his hand on Nick’s shoulder) I know buddy…I know. (The two finish up their game and close up the hall)
