Crap! Now it's just Nick left. I don't think I can face him without breaking down. Come on, hold it together!
"Sarah!" She spun around to see a smiling Nick striding down the hallway. "I thought you left already!"
"Uhh no not yet. There were some last minute things I needed to do."
"Oh hey, I wanted to thank you for hooking me up with that neighbor friend of yours."
"Uhh yeah no problem."
"Are you alright Sar? You kinda look a little spacey." His brows furrowed with concern. "If there's something I can do just name it."
"No, no….it's alright. But I wanted to thank you too."
"Me?"
She forced a smile onto her face. "Yeah. You know, ever since I first came here you've been like a brother to me. And uh….. thanks. It has defiantly meant a lot to me."
"Oh my god, Sar what's happened? You can tell me."
"Nothing, nothing Nicky. It's just about time I shared some thanks with you." God I can't keep this up much longer. Just get outta there! "It's time I got going. I have some stuff at home to do."
His face softened a little, but there was still a look of concern on his face. "Alright, as long as you promise me that your gonna be alright."
Sara tried hard to hold back the tears that she could feel welling in her eyes. "Yeah I'll be fine. Just….I gotta go. Bye Nicky!" She turned suddenly, and practically ran out of the building.
As soon as she was safe in her car, she couldn't contain it any more. The tears ran, and ran down her cheeks. "Why oh why can't I do this? God if he wasn't so… so…….so……I don't know but I can't take it anymore! I can't let him ruin my life anymore!" She wiped the tears away, and pulled the car out of the parking lot.
