"Bradin! There can be nothing between us! Regardless our feelings about one another," she stated. Her eyes widened. That was not what she wanted to say.

"So there is something!" Bradin said. It was easy to tell that he was on the verge of crying. Water began to swarm his eyes. Erika couldn't handle it anymore. She turned away from him and ran home. Bradin blinked and the tears finally fell.

Erika walked into her bedroom and jumped onto the bed. She brought her pillow up to her face and screamed as loud as she could into it. She finally broke down and began to cry.

Chapter Five: Realization

Bradin stood where he was. He crimpled to the sand. He sat where he was well into the night.

Nikki heard the knock on her door: "Who is it?"

"Jay."

"Fine . . . you know what . . . just come in," she said finally getting fed up with everyone wanting to talk to her.

Jay opened the door to find her sitting on her bed with a notebook. He cautiously walked over to her bed and sat at the end opposite her.

"Whatcha writing there?" Jay asked.

"My thoughts," she said simply.

"On what happened a few days ago?" Jay said.

"Maybe," she said straight, "Jay I know you wanna talk about it, so just start talking about it before I change my mind about talking."

"Fine," Jay said. "Tell me the whole story. Why were you running?"

"Well, Jeb, Cameron, and I were on our way to meet up with aunt Ava and Susannah at Johnny's restaurant, but then I saw Johnny and Mona making out on my way in, and then I saw Ava, totally oblivious to what was going on."

"Why were you so upset that Johnny was making out with Mona?"

"Cause that's not how it is supposed to be. It's supposed to be Ava and Johnny."

"Sweetie," Jay began, "I know that's how we all wanted it to be. Me and Susannah wanted it to be that way too, but you can't change the way people feel."

"I know," Nikki said slowly, "but that's not how I wanted it to be." She finally realized what Jay was saying all along. She can't change people, though she felt she could. It was in her own little world, and apparently Jay's and Susannah's, that Ava and Johnny would end up together. But they didn't and she can't do anything about it. "I guess your right."

"Alright?" Jay said softly. He slid over towards her and pulled her into a big hug. They broke and Jay spoke again: "You do realize that you are going to have to apologize to your aunt and Johnny, right?"

"Yeah," Nikki said as she sighed.

"Come on," Jay said as he got up from the bed. Nikki stood up behind him and she led the way down the stairs from the bedroom.

Ava looked up at the two that were coming down from upstairs.

"Nikki!" Ava said. She ran over to her and gave her a hug.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Ava," she said.

"It's okay," Ava said, "But I'm not really the one you should be apologizing to."

"I'm taking her over there tomorrow," Jay said. Nikki looked over at him as he started the grill.

Ava was so glad the Nikki was down from her room. She was very proud of Jay. But the only thing going through Jay's head now was: 'I was the one that got her to come down. Go me!'

"Has anyone seen Bradin?" Ava asked.

"No," Jay said, "I told him to be back by four."

"Well it's half after. I wonder where he could be."

A/N: Hope you liked it. Please Review! Next Chapter is about Bradin in some way. (lol)
