Chapter One

~~ Faith's point of view ~~

The first thing I did the day after Nick and I got into a fight, was calling my boyfriend, Jason Westel. He's one year older than me, which makes him 19. His father doesn't live home anymore and his sister and I can get along just fine. His mother is very kind, but mine on the other hand left me when I was 6, it was my birthday and my father died the year before, when I turned 5. He was on his way home for my birthday party, but he never made it there. I never saw my mother again either, never heard from her, nothing....

Anyway, I called Jason. "Hello?"

"Yeah, Mrs. Westel, it's me, Faith... Can I talk to Jason or isn't he home?"

"Hi Faith, how're you? Well, I think he's home, just gimme a sec, k?"

"Yeah sure, I'll wait."

:: After a minute or so ::

"Hey babe, what's up?"

"Not much, I was thinking all night till now, right now I need some distraction... And guess what? You became the victim."

"That's ok, what were you thinking about?"

"Don't get mad, I was thinking about Nick.... You know we got into a huge fight, probably, and I...."

"Yeah, I remember, now what's your point? I've heard your story over and over again. By the way my mother is waiting for me.... So make it fast, k?"

"K, I'll make it short.... Bye Jason."

"What do you mean? You wanted to say something?"

"No, I didn't. See ya." Then I hung up.

For the longest time I thought that a boyfriend comforts you when you are having a hard time, listens to your problems, but I guess I was wrong. I can't believe it, first Nick, now Jason....

Am I doing something wrong? God, all those question and no one gives me answers... I'll just have to wait till one of them tells me something.

In the meantime, I could call Brian and ask him if there's something wrong.... Or would he act the same? I'll call him anyway... I searched the number of his cell phone and just hoped he had it with him.

~~ Brian's point of view ~~

"Can't she just stop calling me for 5 minutes?!" I mumbled as I answered my cell phone. "Hi dear, what's wrong?"

"Dear? Since when do you call me like that?"

"Who is it?" Nick asked from the sofa. I shrugged.

"Wait a minute, aren't you Nick's girl?"

"What?!" Nick and Faith both yelled at the same time.

"Hi Faith." Brian grinned.

"Bri, quit fooling around... Nick is there, isn't he?"

"Yeah, he's here. Do you wanna speak to him?"

"No, not yet, maybe later.... Why did you call me 'dear'?"

"Oh, no reason...."

"You gotta tell me now, boy.... Who's calling you on your cell phone?"

I walked away, so Nick wouldn't hear me, once he knew it, everyone would know it in a sec, and it was too early...

"Bri? You still there?"

"Yeah, yeah.... I'm just going inside, Nick can't know, not yet...."

"K, tell me!!"

"It's Leighanne.... One of the actors in 'As Long As You Love Me'.... Remember her? You were there, weren't you?"

"Yes, wasn't she blonde?"

"Yeah, that's her, although, the others were also blond... Why do you call me?"

"Don't change the subject now!!! How serious is it?"

"Pretty serious, why am I telling you this??"

"Because I'm a good listener and you need to say it to someone..."

"K.... Now why do you call me?"

"No reason...I just wanted to talk to someone..."

"About Nick? Or about what happened yesterday?"

"Mostly 'bout Nick, but...yeah, about Nick..."

"He loves you."

"What? He doesn't love me, what makes you say that?"

"I know it, and you like him too, but you don't wanna admit it, not yet...or maybe never. But it is true...."

"Is that why we were having that fight? Because I kissed Jason?"

"Probably...."

"He doesn't love me. He said it himself, he wasn't ready to committed to someone. I don't wanna be a flirt, it will kill our friendship. Bri, help me, what am I supposed to do?"

"Talk to Nick."

"I will, just give me some time."

"Make sure that you make the right decision."

"I'll try... I have to go now, so I'll see or talk to you later?"

"Yeah, that's good. See ya."

"See ya, and Bri?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, girly."

Now what, should I tell Nick that Faith knows? Guess not, they have to figure it out themselves. The cell phone rings again and I know that now it can't be anyone else but Leigh.

"Hello?"

"Brian, it's Leigh. Who were you calling?"

"Euhm... Faith."

"Faith?! Nick's girl?"

I couldn't help but laughed.

"Yeah, that's the one."

"What did she want?"
