» CHAPTER THIRTEEN «

Kevin, Howie and AJ showed up at the door. They helped Jane carry Nick onto his bed. A few minutes later Nick woke up.

"Nick dude…you okay man?" Howie asked.

Nick shook his head, "My life is over…" he moaned.

"Listen up guys! This might not even be Em and Brian! I mean…has anyone actually seen the bodies?" AJ asked. They shook their heads. "Let's go then," AJ said grabbing his jacket. Kevin and Howie followed. Nick stayed back.

"Nick…B-Rok was your best friend…" Howie protested.

"WAS?" AJ asked jabbing Howie hard.

"And he still IS…come on…" Howie said. Kevin nodded. Jane helped Nick up. She caressed his cheek. "It's okay honey" she said. The guys would have snickered and jabbed each other if this wasn't such a serious situation. They left the house.

~~~ I sat there re-thinking my thoughts. I had been so cruel, so sarcastic to Brian. Honestly, he was the sweetest person I knew and he truly didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve me. He deserved someone better. Brian walked back. He smiled at me. My knees went weak.

"Hi," I said weakly.

"That river is pure water, which means we can drink from it…maybe even fish," Brian pointed out.

"I can't fish," I said lamely.

"Well…I'll do that," Brian said.

I nodded. I went into the tent. "I need a nap" I said.

Brian looked at Emily as if she were a ghost. "She'll never love me again," he thought. He was so pained at how Emily treated him. As if he were a friend…and only a friend.

I laid back thinking about all the words I said to Brian lately, "He'll never love me again" I whispered to myself before I drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
