Nick was sitting in his apartment. He couldn't believe what he had done. He was getting out of control. "I just punched my best friend." He said aloud. He shook his head. "When did my life get so screwed up?" He knew he needed to talk to someone about his anger. He wasn't sure exactly how to approach the topic though. He felt like he should go to anger anonymous or something. "Hi my name's Nick and I have anger issues. Yeah right."
He knew that he had to talk to someone, so he called the one person he knew that would give good advice. Catherine. He just hoped she wasn't too busy with Lindsey. He dialed Catherine's home number and listened to it ring.
"Hello?" The young voice came on the other end.
"Hey Lindsey, how are you?" He said.
"I'm doing great Uncle Nick. Guess what?"
"What?"
"I'm going skating with Lori and Adam tonight." She exclaimed with joy.
"That's good. Are you and Adam going to couple skate?" He knew that Lindsey had a crush on Adam. She had told Catherine earlier that month and then everyone knew it within the day.
"I'm crossing my fingers. Plus Adam and I might go to the movies! I can't wait!"
Nick smiled and then heard Catherine's voice asking Lindsey who was on the phone. After what he was sure was a great struggle, Lindsey quickly told him bye.
"Sorry Nick, Lindsey is overly excited about her plans."
"That's okay. Listen I was wondering if I could talk to you about something, but not over the phone."
"Sure, I have to drop Linds off in an hour, why don't I meet you at your place?"
Nick breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks Cath."
"No problem. I'll see you soon." Nick heard the click on the other line and set the phone down. He hated what he was becoming and he prayed that Catherine would help him through.
A little over an hour later, Catherine pulled into Nick's driveway and stepped out. She was about to knock, when he opened the door. He gave her a smile and moved aside.
"Come on in. Thanks for coming by."
She slipped past him and walked into his living room. "What's going on Nick?"
He pointed to his sofa. "Have a seat. Do you want something to drink?" She shook her head no and sat down on the far end of the couch. She watched as Nick sat down in a chair across from her. "Cath, I have to tell you something and please let me finish before you fuss at me."
She gave him a confused glance. "Why would I fuss?"
"You'll soon find out." He took a deep breath and exhaled. "Okay, you know Warrick and I worked together last night. Well, we didn't talk much and I felt like he was hiding something from me about Sara. So, I asked him about it and he said that it wasn't his place to tell me. I decided to drive to Sara's and see if she was there. She wasn't so I used my extra key to get in."
Catherine was about to speak but he lifted his hand. "I had two keys for her apartment. I don't think she knew about the other one. Anyway, I went inside and started looking around. I was trying to find answers as to why she left."
"Did you?"
"Yeah, I did. I found a pregnancy test in her bathroom. It was positive."
Cath's face grew shocked. "Have you talked to her?"
"I went over to Warrick's and asked him to tell me where she was. He wouldn't do it."
Catherine nodded and encouraged him to continue.
He took another deep breath and let it out. "I was getting angry and worried about Sara and I felt that Warrick was doing his best to keep me from her. So I said something about him stealing Sara away. He denied it and I sorta hit him."
Catherine's eyes grew huge. "YOU WHAT?" She wanted to slap him herself. "Nick, you can't go around hitting people when you're upset! That's not how we do things!"
"I know that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I have no clue where all this anger is coming from. Catherine, I need help or else I'm going to lose everyone that is important to me." He put his head in his hands.
Catherine walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll get you that help. I promise. What you need to do now is first apologize to Warrick and then try and contact Sara. The two of you are going to need to sit down and talk about everything."
"Yeah, thanks for coming by Cath."
"You're welcome. Just do me a favor. Try not to hit anyone."
He smiled at her. "I will. I promise." He walked her to the door and as soon as she left, he felt better.
