Kevin barely has time to get them hotel rooms before Nick drags him across town. Right now they are standing in front of an apartment door. Nick goes to knock but Kevin stops him.
Kevin: Explain this to me one more time. This is the apartment of your ex-girlfriend’s sister right?
Nick: Right.
Kevin: And we’re here because...?
Nick: I need Jill’s help. The last time I saw Lissa, she said that she was never talking to me again. I’m hoping Jill will be able to convince her to give me a chance to explain.
Kevin: But wouldn’t Jill be mad at you too? You did hurt her sister.
Nick: She wasn’t happy about what I put Lissa through, but she believed me when I told her that I didn’t do it on purpose. She was willing to give me another chance. Brian had a lot to do with it though.
Kevin: Brian? What does he have to do with Lissa’s sister?
Nick: Jill is Brian’s ex-girlfriend. You know, the one he wrote his song about?
Kevin: Oh, I didn’t know that. I’m sure you guys loved that – best friends dating sisters.
Nick: You bet.
He knocks on the door and a moment later it is thrown open.
Nick: Hi Jill. I’m sure you’re probably surprised to see me, but I need to talk to you. I...
Nick stops when he realizes that Jill isn’t even listening to him. She is staring behind him with a surprised look on her face. Nick turns around and notices that Kevin’s had the same reaction. Jill snaps out of it first and glares at Kevin.
Jill: What the hell are you doing here?
Kevin: Nice to see you too Jill.
Nick: Do you two know each other?
Jill: Unfortunately.
Nick: Jill, I can see that us coming here may have been a bad idea, although I’m not exactly sure why, but I really need your help.
Jill: Okay, you can come in, but leave your friend at the door.
Jill steps aside to let Nick in and Kevin sneaks in before she can close the door.
Jill: Did you not hear me? You’re not welcome here and I want you to go right now.
Kevin: I’m not leaving until you let me explain myself. But that will have to wait because right now Nick needs your help.
Since Kevin obviously has no intention of leaving, Jill decides to just ignore him. She turns her back to him and faces Nick.
Jill: So what’s up Nick? Are you famous yet?
Nick: I wish.
Jill: I haven’t seen you in awhile, not since the last time you and Lissa broke up.
Nick: I know and that’s the reason I’m here.
Jill: Didn’t she swear to never talk to you again?
Nick: Yes, and that’s why I need your help. I have to talk to her, and I was hoping you could get her to listen to me. That is, if you’ll do that for me.
Jill: What is it that you want to say to her?
Nick: I need to explain to her what really happened. I don’t want her thinking that I’d intentionally hurt her like that.
Jill: But why are you going to so much trouble? I know you’re on tour in Europe right now. Why would you fly all the way over here to tell her in person, knowing that she’d probably slam the door in your face?
Nick: Because I wanted to see her. I miss her so much and… I want her back.
A noise behind him makes him turn around. Standing just outside the bathroom door is Lissa.
Lissa: You want me back? Well what about what I want? Doesn’t that matter?
Nick doesn’t answer and just continues staring at her with his mouth open. Lissa then remembers that she had just gotten out of the shower and is only wearing a towel, a fact which hasn’t escaped Nick. She blushes and turns around to go back into the bathroom.
Nick: Wait!
Lissa stops, but keeps her back to him.
Nick: Don’t go, please! I’m so sorry that I hurt you. If I could erase what happened, I would.
Lissa: But it’s not that easy Nick. I wish I could just forget about everything that happened, but I can’t. You lied to me, and nothing can change that.
Nick: I know and I wish I hadn’t.
He walks up behind her.
Nick: My only excuse is that I didn’t want to upset you. But there was never anything between me and Britney, I swear.
He reaches out and touches her shoulder and she turns around to face him.
Nick: I don’t want us to fight anymore Lissa. I miss holding you in my arms.
He puts his arms around her and when she doesn’t fight him he leans down to kiss her.
Nick: And I miss this.
A second before their lips meet, Lissa pushes him away from her.
Lissa: No! You can’t just kiss me and make everything okay. And I’m not going to let you sweet talk me either. I said I didn’t want to talk to you and I meant it.
She runs into the bathroom and locks the door behind her. Jill and Kevin have been quietly watching the whole scene, but when Nick turns around with tears in his eyes, Jill rushes over to hug him.
Jill: I’m so sorry Nick.
Nick: What do I do now?
