She looked at him
and wondered if she could take him back. She looked out the window. She looked back at him.
I have to, Brizee said looking at her hands.
No, is it because you have fallen for Brian, Nick said.
No, I havent fallen for him, I have fallen for you, deeper than before, and it scares me, I cant be with you, Nick,
it hurts too much, Brizee said.
Brizee, please, I love you with everything in me, Im nothing without you, Nick said.
Why cant you understand that I cant be with you! Brizee said crying.
Because I love you more than life itself and I cant go on without you! Nick said.
You have to, Nick, Brizee said.
No, never, Im not giving up on you, Nick said.
Nick, you have to, Brizee said. Nick got up and looked at her.
No, never, do you understand me, I will never give up! Nick said. He left. Brizee sat there crying. She heard a noise
and looked up and saw Kevin.
Brizee, Kevin said.
You kept him away from me, Brizee said crying.
Im sorry, Briz, Kevin said. Brizee slapped him.
You bastard, I loved him and you took him away from me! Brizee said.
Briz, you have him back, Kevin said.
But I cant be with him, Brizee said.
Why, Kevin said.
Because of you, you told him lies and he couldnt trust me because of what you said to him! Brizee said.
I knew something was going to happen and it did! Kevin said. Brizee glared at him.
Sure, AFTER Nick revealed himself, but not once during the time Nick was gone that I did anything with Brian, I stayed
faithful, even though I thought Nick was dead, I never once been with anyone else, Brizee said.
Brizee, Im sorry, I didnt know, Kevin said.
Just get out, Brizee said.
Briz, Kevin said.
Get out! Brizee yelled.
You dont understand, Brizee, Kevin said.
Get the hell out! Brizee yelled.
I did it for you, Kevin said.
What! Brizee yelled.
I did it to be with you, Kevin said.
You asshole! Brizee said. Kevin grabbed her and kissed her hard. He held her close as she started to struggle. She
pushed him away and ran out the door. She got into her car and drove to Janes house. She got up and ran to the door and rang
the doorbell. Nick opened the door and saw her.
Hey, Nick said.
Nick! Brizee said hugging him.
Hey, whats wrong, Nick said.
Kevin lied to you, he knew that nothing was going to happen between me and Brian, he knew keeping you away would make
me end things later, he did it to get me, he wants me, Nick, I dont want him, I hate him! Brizee said. Nick hugged her close
and brought her in and closed the door.
Where is he? Nick asked.
At the house, Brizee said.
Stay here, Nick said.
Nick, no, Brizee said.
I have to deal with this, Nick said.
Nick, be careful, Brizee said. He kissed her deeply.
I will, I love you, Nick said. He went out the door. Brizee went into the living room and saw Jane holding Nicky.
Hey theres Mommy, Jane said. Brizee sat down and smiled at Nicky.
