Nina's POV

"Nina open the freaking door!" Mick shouted.

"You could knock you know!" I yelled, opening the door.

"Not after the text you just sent me." He said walking in, "What the hell do you mean you are moving back to Liverpool?"

"I mean that I'm moving back to Liverpool." I said at I picked up a picture frame. It was Fabian and I. I gently placed it in a box.

"We are never going to see each other." Mick pleaded, "Do you remember what it used to be like? We saw each other whenever there were holidays and birthdays or whatever. All your friends are here now. Me, Patricia, Amber… Fabian."

"Mick, do you really think he'd care?" I burst.

"Yeah, I do." He said, "Nina please don't go."

"I'm going Mick." I said, "That's final. I can't be here anymore! I need to start over! I'm going to move back to Liverpool and meet someone and maybe I'll be as happy as you and Amber."

"You and I both know that's not true. You will never be as happy as we are!" Mick yelled.

"Why?" I cried.

"Because you know that Fabian is your true love and if you leave you will never be happy!" he shouted.

I went silent.

"Get out Mick." I said, calmly putting my couch pillows in a box.

"What?"

"Get out." I told him, "I don't want to fight with you Mick, it would be easier if you left."

"Does he know?" Mick asked, "Answer me and I'll go."

He was referring to Fabian.

"No." I whispered, "And don't tell him until I'm gone."

"You aren't even going to say goodbye?"

"I thought you said you'd leave if I told you." I said, "Promise me, Mick that you won't tell him until I'm gone."

"Fine." He mumbled, "I didn't know you were such a freaking coward Nina."

"Get the hell out Mick!" I shouted.

"Goodbye Nina!" he shouted then slammed the door and called, "I'm gone!"

I sat on the floor and cried.

"Nina," Amber said as I was saying goodbye in the lobby of the building, "I'm going to miss you so much. Don't go."

"I'll miss you too." I told her. We, as well as Mick and Patricia, were now walking toward my car in the parking garage with a pushy cart with my boxes inside.

"Why are you leaving?" she asked as I sat something in the passenger's seat of my car, "And why does that stuffed monkey have to be seat-belted into the front seat?"

"Because he means a lot to me." I said. Yeah, it was the monkey Fabian won for me.

"Well, I still don't want you to go Nina." Amber told me.

"It's not your choice." I sighed, "It's mine. And the choice was made."

"Well, that won't stop me. Amber Campbell doesn't stop until she gets what she wants." Amber crossed her arms.

"Well neither does Nina Martin." I told her.

"No, if you did then you stay here and fight for Fabian." Amber pointed out.

"I don't want him Amber."

"Promise?" she said with a sly smile.

Suddenly an echo of Fabian's voice saying 'promise' was filling my head. It was driving me mad. It was like somebody was trying to tell me something, like what I was doing was wrong. I ignored it.

"I'll miss you Amber." I said, throwing my arms around her.

"I love you Nines." She sniffed, "I know someday you'll be my cousin-in-law. And you are already my sister."

I laughed slightly and I too cried.

"Nina, see you around." Patricia said hugging me. She was never one for heartfelt goodbyes.

"Bye Patricia."

Mick walked up with his hands in his pockets.

"I'm sorry Mick." I said with my head down.

"I'm going to miss you so much Nina." He told me.

"I'll miss you too." I said, jumping on him, "I love you."

"I love you more Nines." Mick sniffed, hugging me just as tight.

"No you don't," I cried, "Nothing in this world means more to me than you."

"I know someone that does." He said.

"I love you, bye." I sniffed, closing the door to my Land Rover and driving away.

Mick's POV

As soon as Nina's car pulled away, I darted for the elevator.

"Mick!" Amber yelled, "Where are you going?"

"To get Fabian!" I shouted as I waited for the doors to open. When they did, Amber and Patricia joined me.

"He doesn't know she's leaving?" Amber questioned as she pressed the elevator button, "I thought he didn't come down because he was angry."

"No, she made me promise not to tell him until she was gone." I explained, "But, no she's gone and we are going to get her."

The doors opened and the three of us pounded on Fabian's door. A minute later a very groggy Fabian opened his door.

"Why are you guys banging on my door at midnight?" he asked.

"She's gone." I said, "For real this time."

"What?" Fabian yelled, suddenly awake. I nodded.

He grabbed his keys and ran to the elevator, in just pajama pants and a T- shirt.

"What's the plan?" I asked as the door closed on just me and him. Amber and Patricia decided to stay behind.

"Well, it's late. There won't be many cars on the road. We'll speed and catch up with her. I'll take it from there." Fabian explained, "Why did she leave so late anyway?"

"She didn't want you to notice her leaving. She knew you'd try and stop her. She even made me promise not to tell you until she left. So, she left and then I told you."

The elevator dinged and opened, and then we stepped out. We ran to Fabian's car and drove off.

We drove faster than either of us had ever gone, until we reached a red light. That didn't stop Fabian. He was about to pass it, when through the pouring rain I saw a white Land Rover.

"THAT'S NINA!" I shouted.

Fabian's POV

"THAT'S NINA!" Mick shouted.

I stopped, looked back, and sure enough her white Land Rover was sitting there. I could just make out her face inside.

"Stay here." I said to Mick and exited the car. It was only the two of us out on the road at the time.

I walked toward the car in the rain and saw her open the door.

"What are you doing here?" she yelled.

"What the hell do you think I'm doing here? Going grocery shopping?" I shouted as I stopped right in front of her.

"Go home, Fabian. That's what I'm doing." She told me.

"No, I don't think it is. You are trying to run from your problems like they are just going to disappear. Face it Nina. Even if I wasn't standing here right now, there is no doubt that I would be in Liverpool first thing tomorrow morning." I said, "You home isn't Liverpool, your home is here."

"Fabian please don't go all deep on me right now!" she yelled.

"I can go deeper," I promised, "Nina I love you. I've told you before, but never like this."

"You mean in pouring rain?" she asked.

"No, I mean… Nina I love the way your hair looks when you haven't done anything to it. The way it just hangs on your shoulders. I love the way your eyes sparkle and shine when you're happy. I love how you laugh when you truly mean it. I love how you used to tell me that I gave you butterflies and the truth is sometimes you gave me butterflies too. I love your smile. I love it when you look at me with those big blue eyes and say 'I love you.' I love it when we dance. I love how it feels when you touch me. I love you."

I saw tears begin to form in her eyes and slide down her face. Even with the rain, I knew how she looked when she was crying.

"No," I said, cupping her face in my hands, "Don't cry, please. It breaks my heart."

"I thought your heart was already broken," she cried, "I thought all the pieces where gone."

"I told you that being with you, made me begin to get the pieces back. It was true, even if we weren't together I got every piece back and my heart was whole again. It made my love for you even stronger." I explained, as I used my thumb to caress her cheek, while my hands were still cupped around her face.

She still cried. It made me want to cry too.

"Nina." I said, "Tell me right now that you don't love me. Tell me that and I will go back to London and never bother you again."

She sniffed and looked me in the eyes, "I…"

You hate me right now don't you? Sorry I haven't updated, but I hope that this chap it worth the wait! Two more chaps left! REVIEW
