» CHAPTER THREE «

''Are you sure you want to do this Nance?', asked Nick.

''Nick, I'm sure, '' I spoke. ''Go, have a good time with Cookie'' I spoke happily trying to hide my disappointment.

''Are you sure?'' he asked again.

''Nick! I'm positive, now go have a great time with your girlfriend, okay?''

''Okay,'' he replied.

I opened my purse, took out my keys, walked to the front door, opened the door and walked in. I walked up the stairs and looked out my window just in time to see Nick speed off in Kevin's 4-Runner. 'Nancy you are very stupid to say, ''Drop me at my house Nick... you should spend time with you girlfriend.'' What the hell is wrong with you child?'  I cursed myself. The truth is... I wanted to spend time with Nick. He is my friend. With him travelling, my studies, and me trying to find out what I want to be, we really don't spend too much time together.

So I was sitting in my house in the kitchen, eating a salad when the phone rung. I walked toward the kitchen counter and picked up the receiver. "Hello?" I spoke.

"Hey girly!! Why are you at home? I thought you were going to spend some time with Nick," spoke my friend Ally.

"I know that Allyson, but Cookie got through with her photo shoot early and Nick went to pick her up from the airport.''

"That b*tch!!!" Allyson yelled.

"Allyson!!!" I screamed. "Watch your mouth!"

"Sorry" she said. "But you know how I dislike that girl!"

"Yes you've told me too many times."

Ally's been disliking Cookie every since she flirted with Howie. Whew! That was a sight!! I mean Ally doesn't even go out with Howie (she just has this BIG crush) but she looked like she did when she threw a fit at the restaurant. No-one of the 'group' we were in  (AJ, Brian, Howie, Kevin, Nick, Ally, me and Tonya) are allowed back in the restaurant. Thats how bad of a fit Ally threw. It was horrible and shocking at the moment.. no-one has basically seen Ally acted like that.... she's threated to do something like that.. but never has till that day.

"Nancia!!!! Did you hear what I said???" I heard Ally screaming through the phone.

"No" I said. "I blanked out... what did you say?"

"I said I'll call you back ok?"

"Okay" I said kind of happy to be getting off the phone - I needed to think.

"Okay I talk to later girly, bye!"

"Bye" I said and hung up the phone.

~ One Hour Later ~

Ring! Ring!  AAAGGGHHH!!!!!!! I screamed at the top of my lungs. That was the 20th time my phone had rung in the past hour. And I was getting very aggravated. "Are you dead!?!?!" I screamed to whoever it was on the other end.

"Ummm no... in fact I just came from the doc's a few weeks ago and he said I have 70+ years ahead of me."

"Uhhhh what do you want McLean??"

"Well....... if you put it that way...." he spoke mischieviously.

"AJ, don't get sassy with me really what the heck do you want??" I was really getting aggravated with him.

"Okay okay.... someone's in a bad mood...."

"No stuff Sherlock," I cut him off.

"Okay Nancy, I just wanted to know have you seen Nick, I thought he was with you today so I called your house."

"What??!?!" I said getting very confused. "You mean Nick hasn't called and you haven't seen him? That's weird he left me this morning to go pick up Cookie...."

"What?!?!?! Nancia what are you talking about?? Tanya's in France on that photo shoot," AJ spoke becoming confused himself.

"Wait" I spoke cutting in, "Nick left this morning to pick Cookie up from the airport cause she got through with her photo shoot early, he dropped  me off at my house."

"Wait?!?! Nick dropped you off?" AJ asked.

"Yeah. Some hours ago" I said glancing at the clock.

"Wait Cookie told me that-"

"That what AJ?" I said feeling that same feeling I felt this morning. "AJ, tell me, what are you talking about? What did Cookie say?" I was getting very impatient and AJ wasn't responding.

"I'm coming over there," he spoke, his voice getting very stern and serious.

"Why?"

"Get your clothes on and get ready to leave, I'm going to be there in 15 minutes, we're going to go look for Nick." After that he hung up not answering my question.
