Chaper 32

We drove to his place in silence. All of the feelings that I should have been feeling earlier all of a sudden just smacked me right across the face.

"Do you need to stop home?" Nick looked over at me as he parked the car.

"No." I said in an annoyed tone. "I think I have all I need here." I got out of the car and did not wait for him to get out. I walked over to the elevator and leaned on the wall.

"Maybe I should take you back." He stood next to me and waited for the doors to open.

"I'm fine." I leaned into him and he wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry I'm being bitchy, thanks for coming."

"It's okay, you are going through a lot. I understand." I shook my head.

"No it's not, I don't want to be that girlfriend that is always crabby." He gently wrapped his hands around my waist.

"Kate." He kissed me. "It's okay." He pulled me into the elevator.

"Okay, but I'm sorry anyway." I smiled at him.

"Whatever.... I don't except your apology." He didn't smile or look at me.

"Nick? Are you serious?!"

"You're right. You are being really bitchy." Finally he laughed after trying to hold it in.

"Oh my god." I shouted. "You are so mean!" I playfully shoved him.

"All I was looking for was that right there." He pointed to my face.

"What?" I wiped my cheeks with my sleeve thinking I had something on them.

"That smile, I haven't seen you smile this whole day." I smiled again and leaned into him.

"Awwwwwwwww!" I kissed him. "You are so friggin cute!"

"Alright I am never saying anything like that again. I'm not cute." I grabbed his shirt to pull him down to me and kissed his neck.

"Get over it, you're cute." He smiled as the doors opened and grabbed my hand as we walked to his apartment.
When we got inside I hopped in the shower real quick then got changed. I was dying to know what Nick was up to and what his surprise was but I didn't say anything. I curled up next to him on the couch and rested my head down. He kissed my forehead and ran his fingers through my hair.

"What time do we have to leave?" I spoke softly into his chest.

"Um." He turned to look at the clock shifting me into a very uncomfortable position. "Like and hour." I readjusted and looked at my phone.

"I was hoping Riley called."

"Why don't you just call him?" He ran his fingers up and down my neck.

"I don't know." I sat up. "I shouldn't have left, was that bad of me? I'm a horrible sister! God why can't anything go right."

"Hey, hey, hey breath girl." Nick got up and got me a glass of water. "Josh asked me if I would take you with me and I'm sure Riley is okay."

"Why would he ask you to take me." I put the water on the table and looked at Nick. "I mean I should be there, Jesus I can't even think straight." I got up and walked to the cabinet and took some Motrin. Nick walked up behind me and pulled me into a hug.

"You can't freak out if I tell you why they wanted you to leave." He looked down at me.

"Oh what the fuck is going on now!" I buried my head into my hands. "I can't deal with this anymore."

"Kate." He pulled my head up. "It's nothing bad its just that Riley still needs to talk to the police some more and he agreed to have Brian there too, so they both can talk to the cops."

"Why won't anyone ever tell me what's going on? Why wouldn't they tell me that."

"It's just to keep you safe." I rolled my eyes and walked into the bedroom and laid down. I pulled the covers over my head, but of course Nick followed and sat down next to me.

"Talk to me." He pulled the covers off of me.

"I'm just tired of never getting the truth." I pulled them back over me.

"I am telling you the truth." Instead of pulling the covers back off of me he slid under and met me face to face.

"Stop." I smiled. "Get out of here."

"Why?" He poked the side of my stomach.

"Ouch! That hurt." I pushed him a little too hard and he rolled off the bed taking me with him because of the covers.

"Wow! where did that come from?" He picked me up and threw me back on the bed.

"I'm not that weak!" I put my feet up trying to stop him from climbing on top of me.

"Come here!" He grabbed my foot and pushed it down and laid on me. "I will tickle you!"

"No! No! okay I forfeit!" I picked up the corner of the sheet and waived it as a white flag. He stood back up but I pulled his arm.

"Where you going?" I smiled.

"I don't know I get the feeling that you don't like me today." He laid next to me.

"Your right." I rolled on top of him. "I love you." He smiled and put his hands on both sides of my neck gently rubbing my cheeks with his thumbs and kissed me. He stopped and looked at me.

"I got an idea." He got up and walked into the living room. I followed slowly behind while he searched through a drawer in the kitchen.

"Here." He handed me a key. "So you can just come over whenever you want or stay over night, I mean you can bring some more stuff here too, only if you want." I looked down at the key then looked at him.

"Are you asking me to move in?"

"Not necessarily, well if that's what you want." He fiddled with his finger. "No not what you want, I meant what I want, yes I want you to move in." He noticed that I was thinking hard about it. "Just think about it, you don't have to tell me now, but keep the key."

"Okay." I walked over to my purse and put the key on my keyring. I was shocked and had to take a minute to let it sink in that he asked me to move in with him. "Really?" I turned and looked at him.

"Yeah, but if you don't want to it's okay."

"No I want to, it's just I think you might be making a mistake." He tilted his head and raised his eyebrow.

"I think I know what I'm asking you." He walked over to me and kissed me. "Why would you think that."

"Well first we are both young, and you are professional hockey player, you travel everywhere." I felt myself digging this hole deeper. "I just don't see you settling down this soon."

"Kate you mean the world to me, I don't want anyone else." He shook his head. "What do you want?"

"All I'm saying is think about this, and I will too. Can we talk about something else?"

"Yeah." He walked passed me and sat on the couch, He let out a sigh and turned the TV on.

Chapter 31

"How's it going?" I walked into the room and smiled at Riley. Josh sat in the chair and I sat on the side of his bed.

"Pretty good." He attempted to laugh. "I'm a little woozy."

"Yeah you look rough dude." Josh joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, maybe it was because I was stabbed, or maybe it's just this food it's horrible." Riley cracked a smile and looked at me.

"Josh do you mind if we have a second?" He turned and looked at Josh.

"No problem, take all the time you need." Josh got up and shook Riley's hand then left the room.

"I'm sorry."

"Kate don't even start that shit I don't want to hear it." He tried to sit up.

"Just stay still." I pushed his shoulders back. "You gonna just hurt yourself more."

"I'm fine." He cringed as he sat up some more. "Brian's not your problem."

"What are you talking about, they put you on some morphine?!"

"He told me what happened, Justin is just using him to get to you. Brian said he hasn't talked to Justin since he got out of prison." My face turned to complete shock.

"Are you crazy? seriously maybe we should talk about this when your not on all these meds." He rolled his eyes.

"Listen, I'm fine and I'm telling you the truth. Look I don't know what Josh told you but that wasn't me and Brian fighting outside."

"Riley he saw you. I'm sure Josh knows what you look like."

"He is lying! He wants to protect you from Brian so I understand why he would lie to you but seriously listen to me and believe me."

"Okay, Okay. Then what really happened?"

"I came home and Brian and Justin were on the lawn fighting hard core. Brian was screaming for help so I helped him. Justin stabbed me and ran off and Brian and Josh both helped me to the hospital. Josh told him he should leave before the family got here."

"Riley he is doing that on purpose to throw you off! He threatened me not to long ago, he told me to watch my fucking back!"

"Kate he said that because Justin is obsessed with you! He has been following you every where and that is why Brian has been going crazy he is trying to protect you! I know this sounds dumb but he loves you!"

"You have gone mad!" I got up to leave.

"Wait just one more thing, please don't leave like this."

"What?" I turned around

"He loves you and I'm not saying get back together with him, I think he is a bad influence but the fact of the matter is that he is trying to help you and yes he loses his temper, all I'm saying is get Brian off your mind and worry about Justin because he is your problem."

"I don't know what you want me to do! It sounds like you want me to forgive him." He rolled his eyes again.

"Kate I'm not saying it like that. I'm trying to put you at ease."

"Well did you forget about the time I called Brian and Justin answered. Thanks for trying to tell me the truth but I don't believe it."

"I'm just doing what I think is right. Instead of worrying about both of them all you have to look out for is Justin, that is all I'm trying to say."

"Okay thank you." I sat down. "Now can we talk about something else?"

"Yeah." He smiled. "How's Nick?"

"Fine he is here too, I didn't tell him he just found out and showed up."

"Really? Has Johnny given him a black eye yet?" He laughed slightly but tried to hold it in from the pain.

"No!" I shot back. "He has actually been really nice to him."

"Calm down I was just kidding." He smiled.

"I know I'm not stupid. How does your stomach feel?"

"Well." He looked at it. "Right now it feels like a little kid is poking me with a sharp stick and won't stop."

"Want me to ask the nurse if they can get you something."

"I'm on all sorts of drugs, they can't possible give me something else." He shifted some more. "Oh you better get going your going to need to change and everything."

"What are you even talking about Riley?"

"Don't you have a game tonight?" He smiled.

"Are you serious, I'm not going."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm no..."

"Yes." He cut me off. "You are."

"Riley really I go to all of them I can miss one!"

"Okay don't tell Nick I told you but he has a surprise for you he has been so excited and you need to go to the game."

"Ah! what is it!" I sat straight up in my chair.

"I can't tell you! You have to go to the game!"

"I can't leave." I slumped down.

"Kate for the last time I'm fine! He said it was an early birthday present you have to go because he flew someone out here." He pulled me over to him by my arm and kissed my head. "Get out of here." I looked at him and started to leave.

"Please call me."

"Get outta here!!" He laughed and I smiled as I headed out.

"See ya kid." Josh hugged me and walked into Riley's room.

I walked back out to the waiting room and handed my visitors pass to my mom.

"You leaving?" She got up and took the pass.

"Yeah, He said it was okay, plus I think he wants me to leave."

"Is he mad at you?!"

"No, no he just wants me to go out."

"Okay bye sweetheart." I said goodbye to all of my family and walk with Nick to his car.

"How was he?" Nick looked over at me as he started his car.

"Fine." I wiped my tears as they started to fall. "It just scares me."

Nick turned off the car and got out and headed to my side of the car. He opened the door but didn't say anything he crouched down and pulled me into his shoulder and just let me cry.

Chapter 30

I sat quiet. The officer was staring at me waiting for me to answer. After about 10 minutes he put his pen down and linked his hand together.

"Ms. Patrick, I know it might be hard to discuss these things but if you tell us all the details we will be able to do something for you. You can't hold out on us."

"Yeah well no offense but I have trusted the justice system one to many times and pretty much got stabbed in the back." I crossed my legs.

"What is it a traumatic experience, is that why you don't want to talk about it? When can set an appointment with a therapist."

"It's nothing shocking. I just feel the need to protect my family and if I open my mouth I don't know what will happen."

"So he threatened your family?"

"I'm not saying anything, it's my right." He stood up and walked to the door but stopped before he opened it.

"Yes it is your right, but if you tell us what happen it's his word against yours and I think it's safe to say a jury will take your word over his any day. This is your chance to protect your family." I sighed as the other officer got up to follow him.

"Wait." I put my head down. "You have to promise me something will be done." I looked up at both of them.

"If you give us the honest truth we can help you." They both sat back down and he picked up his pen again.

"Okay well, I was walking home from my AA meeting. My sponsor usually walked me home but he had to leave early because his wife just went into labor. I was about 4 blocks away from home when Justin pulled up and threw me in his car. I didn't have the chance to fight seeing that he had a gun. He took me to his apartment he had got about 2 years after he got out of prison. Pretty much he gave me a beat down, broke one of my ribs and kept me there for about 4 hours. Right before he threw me out he put the gun to my head and said that if I can't keep my mouth shut or in anyway hurt Brian he would hunt ever member of my family down. He said he start with Riley since we were the closest and well you see how that worked out."

"Why didn't you tell someone about this." I rolled my eyes.

"He was out of prison in a year after what he did! I wasn't taking that chance again."

"Nobody noticed your broken rib or your bruises?"

"I went to the hospital myself and was a self pay patient. The police came to talk to me but I told them I was rushing to my AA meeting and flew down 2 flights of stairs, plus all the bruises were on my stomach."

"Your parents didn't ask where you where?"

"Told them I was with Brian." I leaned my arms on the table. "I pretty much thought everything out carefully so no one would notice anything, I even pretended I was sick so my mom wouldn't ask why I wasn't getting out of bed."

"Okay." He was looking down at his paper jotting everything down. "Alright we are going to try to talk to your brother right now. We are going to need you to write all this down at some point so don't go any where far."

"I wasn't planning on it." He smiled and walked me out of the room. I headed back to the waiting room. Nick was still there and to my surprise Chris was sitting next to him and they were talking.

"Hey." Chris got up and hugged me. "You alright, what did they want?"

"They needed to ask me questions but I'm fine, nice to see you."

"You too, I'm going to the cafeteria, want something."

"A coffee would be great, with soy milk if they have it, if not just black."

"No problem." He kissed me on the head and him, Brandon, Johnny and Josh all walked to the elevator.

"How you doing?" Nick pushed a loose piece of hair behind my ear as I was sitting down.

"I'm fine, I'm just kind of in my own world right now." I laid my head down on his lap. "Where are my parents?"

"They went to Josh's house to get some Of Riley stuff." He ran his fingers threw my hair.

"I'm sorry about this." I sat up and looked at him. "This is just crazy."

"Why are you sorry, just stop saying that."

"Because when you met me you didn't even know what you were getting yourself into. I feel that you feel obligated to be here or even to stay with me because you feel bad. If you don't want to be with me just tell me please, I will understand."

"Kate you are nuts right now. If I didn't want to be with you I wouldn't, If I didn't want to be here I wouldn't. I love you and I want to make this work." He kissed me. "Plus if Justin and Brian just go the fuck away I think we be the perfect couple." He smiled.

"Thanks." I rested my head into his chest. "They are processing my restraining orders."

"Really?" He looked down at me.

"Yep, but I don't know what they will do and Johnny just told me that everyone wants me to come back to Denver." I sat back up.

"Yeah? are you thinking about going?" He sounded very disappointed.

"I don't know. I mean I know I need to go back for at least 2 weeks when Riley gets better, but I don't no if I want to leave Arlington."

"Why don't you want to leave." He grinned.

"Well I'm not sure" I said sarcastically. "You see I met this boy, he is kind of an asshole but he is pretty hot so I'm thinking I should stick around for a bit."

"Oh Really, he sounds like an amazing person."

"I don't no about all that!" He laughed as he gave me another kiss. I laid back down on his lap.

"Well there is your whole Irish clan." Nick laughed as I got up and saw all the boys walking off the elevator with a shit load of food and drinks.

"Jesus guys! You think we are going to be here for a month?!" I leaned up and looked in one of the boxes and took a donut. "Want one?" I looked at Nick.

"Got any muffins?" Johnny chimed in with a face full of donuts.

"We got muffins, eggs, bagels, donuts, cereal, name it we got it!"

"Toss me a muffin." Nick said laughing at Johnny.

"They didn't have soy milk sis." Johnny handed me my coffee.

"That's cool." I took the coffee and screamed when I pretty much burned my tongue off.

"Let it cool down wild child!" Chris said as he started laughing. I looked over at Nick.

"Isn't my family crazy?" He smiled.

"I don't think that explains it."

"I will take that as a compliment." Brandon looked over and smiled.

We all pretty much ate everything that they brought up. It was about 3:30 when the doctor came out to finally talk to us.

"Well everybody." She seemed nervous talking to all of us. "He is awake and the blood transfusions went well, we can allow 2 visitors at a time." We all looked at each other.

"I think Kate and Josh should go first." Johnny stood up.

"Yeah that sounds good." Josh walked over to me.

"You good to go?"

"Yeah." I sat my coffee down and gave Nick a hug.

"I might not be here when your done, I can't miss my game."

"I would never want you too, and it's fine." I gave him a kiss.

"Good luck."

"Thanks." I followed Josh to Riley's room.

Chapter 29

My hands shook as me and Josh walked through the revolving doors of the hospital. I walked up to the counter to get a visitor sticker. I turned around to sit in the waiting room and saw my whole family. Brandon was the first to come up and hug me.

"How is he?" I looked up at him my eyes were full of tears.

"Okay, he is in the process of his second blood transfusion." He walked me over to were our parents were sitting they both got up to give me a hug and so did Johnny.

"Where is Chris?" I looked around to see if he was here.

"He is on his way now. He couldn't make the flight that we took." Johnny got up and grabbed my arm and walked me outside.

"Me, Brandon and Josh have been talking. We want you to come home. Brandon has already talked to some administrators about getting you in to CSU. The whole family would just feel more safe if you were around us." I crossed my arms and looked at the ground.

"Johnny, honesty I am so out of it right now. I'm not thinking strait too much is going on for me to even think about this. Can you do me a favor and talk about this later?"

"Yeah just keep it in the back of your head." He leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette

"You still smoke those cancer sticks?"

"Well I do now...I quit for awhile." We chatted for a little bit when my dad poked his head out of the door.

"Kate." He walked closer. "The police are here, they want to talk to you." I sighed and walked into the waiting room. I his hand as he took me to an isolated room and sat me down.

"Ms. Kate Patrick correct?" He had a pen and a paper. He wasn't looking at me.

"Yes."

"19 years of age?"

"Yes." I put my hands on the table and took a deep breath.

"Okay, can you tell me a little about your relationship with your x-boyfriend?"

"Um, we grew up together and our families were really close. I started to date him when I was 16 and we were together for 2 years."

"Okay. Has he ever physically abused you?" I felt like I was back in the courtroom when I tried to get the retraining orders.

"No."

"Mentally?" Nobody ever asked me this before and as I thought about it Brian always messed with my mind.

"Um I guess I'm not really sure."

"Just tell me some things he would say to you that would hurt you." He finally took his eyes off the paper and looked at me.

"Well, he always told me I was a bitch, he would tell me I was never good enough for him. When we got into heated fights he would threaten to hurt me but he never went through with it."

"Okay." He paused his questioning to write down all of what I had just said. "Tell me a bit about his older brother Justin."

"He is scum. He never treated anyone right, he had horrible manners. When we were younger My brother Riley and him never got along. They always fought." Before I could finish a knock came at the door. The officer walked to the door and slightly cracked it.

"What's up." Another officer walked in a little bit.

"He is awake and conscious we should probably get what we can now and finish with her later."

"My brothers awake?" I stood up "Can I see him please."

"Ms. Patrick we are going to have to talk to him first then we have to finish up with you. It might be another hour or two before we can let you see him. You can wait with your family and we will update you as soon as we can."

"Okay." They walked me back to the waiting room and headed back to see Riley. I sat down and buried my face in my knees.

"Everything will be okay." I felt my mom rub my back.

"This is my fault, Brian and Justin want me and Riley was just in the way...I should have been home."

"Kate don't you dare blame this on yourself! Could you imagine what they would have done to you! Riley is your brother and he was doing what he had to and I don't think he will ever regret this nor will he ever want you to blame yourself." I didn't say anything I just leaned back and closed my eyes. I fell asleep for about 20 minutes when someone smacked me on the leg to wake me up.

"Nick? what are you doing here?" I gave him a hug.

"Well Josh left a message on my answering machine last night and I didn't check it till now. Why didn't you tell me."

"I just don't want you to have to worry about this or think that you need to do anything. You have other priorities right now."

"Well my girlfriend is a pretty big priority to me."

"Yeah but you have a game tonight."

"And." He stood up to take his jacket off.

"And you need to be thinking about that!"

"I am but you don't understand that when I get on the ice everything that I have been thinking about earlier in the day floats away. I'm fine don't worry about it."

"Okay. Well while your here, Nick this is my Mom, Dad, Older brothers Brandon and Johnny. Chris is on his way." He got up and gave my mom a hug and kiss on the cheek and shook My dads hand and Johnny and Brandon.

"It's nice to meet you all. I'm sorry that it's because of these circumstances."

"You too Hunny." The officers walked back out and asked me to follow them.

"I thought you needed to talk to my brother?"

"He fell back to sleep so the sooner we finish with you the better."

"Alright." I got up and turned around and gave Nick a hug. "You okay out here by yourself? You can leave whenever you want."

"I'm Fine. It will be nice to finally talk to your whole family." I gave him a quick kiss and followed the officers back to the same room.

"So Ms. Patrick we have some good news."

"Yeah?"

"We are in the process of approving your restraining orders." I raised my eyebrow

"Are you serious?! It's a little late don't you think?"

"Well late is better than never, so where were we?"

"Justin." I rested my elbow on the table.

"Ah Justin yes. Okay now has he ever abused you?"

"Besides the rape?"

"Yes."

"Um.....yeah he has." I had never told anyone that after Justin got out of jail he came and found me one night. I never wanted to talk about this.

"Okay please explain."

"Do I have to?"

Chapter 28

I woke to the sound of the shower running. I slightly opened my eyes, just enough to see the clock. I rolled over and went back to sleep.

"Kate? Kate wake up." Nick was gently shaking me.

"What?" I looked up at Nick, dressed only in a towel. He laughed.

"Well good morning to you too. I have to go to morning skate you can stay as long as you want."

"Where are my clothes?" I looked under the covers.

"Um, pretty much everywhere. Do you want me to find them?" He opened his drawer and threw on some workout clothes.

"No." I said groggily and curled up in a ball. "Can I just have one of your shirts?" I poked my head out of the covers and smiled at him.

"Sure but why?" He rummaged through his shirts.

"They're really comfy, while you're at it throw me a pair of your boxers." He laughed.

"Are you serious?" He turned around and looked at me.

"Well I'm not wearing yesterdays underwear!"

"You know if you don't want to wear any underwear at all it's completely fine, I mean I won't judge you." He grinned and threw the shirt and boxers on the bed.

"You are getting more and more perverted every day I know you." I put the clothes on, gave him a kiss and walked into the bathroom.

"It's your fault. I was never like this before I met you." I quickly popped my head out of the bathroom and pointed my toothbrush at him.

"You are a liar!"

"What did you say?!"

"You heard me." I screamed as he ran towards the bathroom and I shut the door as fast as I could.

"Let me in! You are going down!" I pushed against the door, but it was no match I could not hold him back.

"Nick!" I yelled as he grabbed me. "Don't do anything you will regret!" He pushed me up against the shower door and pretty much put his tongue down my throat.

"I don't think I regret that." He pulled away.

"Me neither do it again." I pulled him in and kissed him back.

"Okay." He let go of my kiss. "I really need to go, I'm already late." He walked into the kitchen and I followed.

"Kate look." He laughed and pointed at the sink.

"What?" I walked over and looked. "How did my bra get in there?!" He picked it up and handed it to me.

"Well you did launch it like nobody's business."

"Whatever get out of here! your late." He pulled me into a hug and kissed me.

"Wait how long will you be?" I looked up at him.

"Probably like 3 hours." He rubbed my back "Bye babe."

"Bye." I kissed him again. "See you at the game." He walked out and I made myself comfy on the couch and turned the TV on. After about 2 and a half hours of watching it's me or the dog I walked into the kitchen to get some food. I almost bust my ass when I slipped on my jeans. I picked them up and threw them on the counter.

"Oh my phone." I said to myself as I saw it sitting in the pocket. I grabbed it an opened it to see 13 missed calls from Josh. I quickly called him back.

"Hey Josh what's up?" I spoke, my voice was a little shaky. I was nervous because he had called me so many times.

"Kate where are you?" He was very serious.

"What is going on?"

"Where are you!" The volume in his voice was rising.

"I'm at Nick's. Josh what the fuck is going on!!"

"Do not go anywhere I am coming to get you." He hung up the phone I immediately called him back.

"If you do not tell me what is going on I am driving over right now." My voice was firm.

"No stay there."

"Then tell me what the hell is going on!" I could hear him take a deep breath.

"Riley is in the hospital." I sat down on the stool in the kitchen and thought about what he just said. "Kate did you hear me?"

"Tell me everything right now, what happen, why it happened, what hospital is he in, if he is okay. Tell me now."

"Kate calm down and take a breath. I don't want you doing anything stupid."

"Just explain, please."

"He came home late last night, I was asleep but I heard some shouting outside. I walked downstairs and opened the door. Riley was on top of Brian beating the shit out of him. I ran to grab the phone and call the police and the next thing I know I see Riley on the ground holding his stomach. I ran over to him and saw blood everywhere. He told me Justin came out of no where and stabbed him. He is okay but he lost a lot of blood."

"Call me when you get here."

"Don't go anywhere!" He stressed one more time.

"I won't"

I paced around the apartment. So many thoughts were running through my head. I was in the bedroom when I heard the door open. I rushed over and saw Nick. He threw his hockey bag on the floor and gave me a hug.

"I thought you would have went back to sleep."

"Nope."

"Whats wrong." He pulled back and looked at me.

"Nothing why?" He pushed my hair back.

"You just look like your going to kill someone."

"No everything is fine, but Josh called I'm going to have to go to work tonight. He is picking me up now and I won't be able to go to the game." I thought it would be best to keep this from Nick. He needed to focus on other things other then my problems right now.

"Oh that sucks." He walked over and sat on the couch. "Wanna sit with me before you have to go?" He turned around and smiled.

"Um I can't really sit right now. For some reason I have a lot of energy." Before Nick could say something My phone started to ring. "You here?! I'm on my way down now." I planted a quick kiss on Nick and flew out of the apartment like it was on fire.
