Chapter 4
I woke up, tired even more tired then when I had originally fallen asleep. Crying just physically drains me. Damn me and my emotions, they always get the best of me. My alarm clock reads eight a.m, that means I slept over twelve hours, something that I haven't done in a long time. Then still in sleep mode I take a shower, and make myself a big cup of coffee. I sit down on my couch with my large cup of coffee, gray jammie pants and a tank top, and start flipping threw the channels. Eventually I decide maybe I should call Warrick.
His voice come over the phone, 'Brown.'
'Hey Warrick.' I smiled into the phone.
'Sara, you ok?'
'Yes, you told me to call you, so I am.'
'Alright, did you get any sleep?'
'I haven't slept that long in a long time War.'
'Good.'
'How was Nick?' I bit my on my lip.
'Nick was flipping out at everyone. Angry and mad at the simplest thing, and getting frustrated.'
'Did you talk to him?'
'Just a little, but Sar you should really talk to him.'
'I can't.'
'Yes, you can.'
'What am I going to tell him?'
'Tell him what you told me.'
'It's not that easy. What am I going to tell him. Hi Nick I'm sorry that you fell in love with me because I don't, so get on with your life?'
'Do you really no love him?'
'I don't know, this is so confusing.' I whimpered into the phone.
If one day you discover him
Broken down he's lost everything
No cars, no fancy clothes to make him who he's not
The woman at his side is all that he has got
Why do you ask him move to heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?
'Honey what are some great things about Nick?'
'He's nice, hotter then hell.'
'I'll take your word for that last one.'
I laughed, 'Great sex. Makes me feel like I'm on top of the world when ever I'm near him.'
'Now tell me some things that you don't like about Nick.'
'Listen's to country music, and he loves me.' I sighed, 'He's a really good guy.'
'Yes, and you obviously like more things about him then you don't like about him.'
'So I love him.'
'Yes.'
'Then tell him girl.'
'Thank you so much, if I could I would hug you.'
'Call Nick get him over there before it's to late.'
'OK.' I laughed.
'But you owe me a hug.'
I smiled, 'OK, bye.'
'Bye.' I hung up the phone, then dialed Nick's number.
I heard his answering machine go off, 'Nick, please pick up the phone, I need to talk to you.' I sighed, 'Fine, but Nick I really need to talk to you.' I hung up the phone. If Nick's not going to pick up his phone then I'll go to his house. I went to my room then put on a pair of blue jeans and left my top on. I decided on waking instead of driving, giving me some more time to think.
Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it is down to the wire
Would he gave his life up
To be all he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

I stand at Nick's front door with the rain seeping threw my skin. I knocked on his door, then saw the door slightly open. 'Sara, what are you doing here?'
'You didn't pick up your phone.' I looked up from my feet to his eyes.
'Come in, before you get sick.' Nick opened the door, then let me come in. 'I'll get you some dry clothes.' I followed Nick to his bedroom and he handed me a pair of blue plaid jammie pants and one of my black tank tops I left here. He left the room, then I put on the clothes he had given me. I went out into the living room and Nick handed me a cup of coffee. 'What did you want to talk about?'
'I'm sorry.' I just barely said.
'Do you know why your sorry? Because just saying that your sorry isn't going to cut it.' He turned his body away from me.
'Nick..' I put my hand on his arm. 'I'm sorry, for the way I reacted earlier. You scared the crap out of me.'
'Why are you so afraid?'
'I'm not anymore.' I put my cup onto the table behind me and rested myself against him.
If by chance all he had to give you
Was three words wrapped around his finger
Would that be deep enough at the end of every day
And how will you ever know
If a man is what he says?
'Why the change of heart? Yesterday you ran out of here, when I told you that I- that hurt me Sar.'
'I know, I didn't mean to hurt you. But when you told me that you love me, wow Nick. No one's ever told me that like the way you did. It scared me.'
'Princess.' I looked up at him, 'If I said that I still love you, will you leave me again?'
Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth
Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When its down to the wire
Would he give his life up to be all he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?
'No.' I leaned into his ear and whispered, 'Because I love you.'
'I love you so much Sara Sidle.' Nick kissed me.
He never gives up
That broken dream
His world goes around in wonder it seems
Is that how you know
Is that what it means?
Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
Would he will be your anchor when the dark unfolds
Would he always love you the best that he knows?
'I don't want us to be fuck buddies anymore.' I laughed at him, 'Will you be my girlfriend now?'
I kissed him, 'Yes, one of us better call Warrick.'
'So we fianlly go out and you want to talk to another man already? This must be some kind of record, getting tired of me already?' He joked.
'Let's just say he set me back on track.'
'And your already cheating on me too.' Nick said with an amused grin.
'We owe him.' I kissed him again.'
'Fine.'
Would he give his life up
To be all that he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?
Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it is down to the wire
Would he gave his life up
To be all he can
Is that, is that, is that, how you measure oh...
Is that, is that, is that, how your measure a man?
