Thanks for all the reviews! Even the negative ones. I appreciate your opinion. And to AnMaDeRoNi, I don't really like going to my grandma's because there's no internet or cable. So boring! Anyways here's chapter 9


Chapter 9

After about fifteen minutes since Greg and Sara left, Nick was still sitting on that bench in the locker room. He was banging his head on the locker.

"Stupid."

BANG

"Stupid."

BANG

"Stupid."

BANG

And that was how Warrick found him when he walked into the locker room. He wanted to go home when he saw Nick like this.

"Everything okay, man?" asked Warrick.

"Yeah, fine," said Nick.

"Oh, so banging your head on the locker and calling yourself stupid is just a hobby?" asked Warrick sarcastically.

Nick just glared at him.

"Okay, sorry, I don't want to pick a fight with you, just want to know if you're okay," said Warrick.

"I'm fine, War," said Nick. Those words did not sound convincing even to Nick's own ears.

"Yeah right, come on, have a beer with me," said Warrick.

Nick just groaned inwardly. Beer. The thing that made him feel like this. He knew it was stupid to blame those beers. It was all his fault

"I'm not in the mood," said Nick.

"No way, you're coming with me if you like it or not," said Warrick. Nick looked up and saw Warrick was serious.

"Fine," said Nick lazily. So he reluctantly got up and went away with Warrick.


"Thanks Greg," said Sara as his car arrived at her apartment.

"It's my pleasure. Want me to come up?" asked Greg.

"No, it's okay, I just want to sleep, I'm a little tired," said Sara.

"Okay, if you need anything, just call me, okay?"

"Yeah, thanks Greg," said Sara starting to get out of the car. But Greg stopped her by taking her hand to his.

"Sara, I just want to say thanks because giving me a chance to be with you," said Greg.

"Greg, I'm the one that's supposed to thank you, you've been nothing but great to me, I really appreciate it."

Greg just smiled and gave Sara a quick kiss on the lips. Sara was still trying to get used to those.

"Bye Greg," said Sara.

"Bye Sara, I'll call you when I want to pick you up."

"Okay," said Sara getting out of the car.

Sara walked to her apartment and as soon as she arrived to her apartment she made her way to her bedroom. She changed into more comfortable clothes and got on her bed. She tried to sleep but couldn't. She kept thinking back about Nick's look at the locker room.

"Does he still have feelings for me?" thought Sara.

She knew she should not be thinking like that because she was with Greg now. But she could not help it. She loved Nick and no matter what she did she could not convince herself to love Greg. He was just a very dear friend to her. But another part of her brain kept saying maybe she could love Greg if given time and Sara was going to follow that part of her brain because she really wanted her and her baby to be happy.


Meanwhile Nick and Warrick were at a bar near that lab. There were not many people at the time and Nick was very grateful for that.

"What's going on with you, Nick?" asked Warrick. Both of them had beers in their hands.

"Nothing, just a little tired from work," lied Nick.

"Don't give that bull to me Nick, I know you and something else is bothering you."

Nick just sighed and took a swig at his beer.

"Does this have anything to do with Sara running off to the bathroom just now?" asked Warrick.

Nick who was playing with the neck of the bottle suddenly stopped. Warrick knew he had hit home.

"What makes you think that?"

"Well, when she went to the bathroom you looked like you knew something and it didn't help when you guys kept giving each other looks."

"Fine, I'll tell you, well, it started off when I slept with Sara," said Nick.

"What!" exclaimed Warrick.

"Yeah, a little too much drinking and the next thing I know I was in bed with her."

"So what happened next?"

Nick told Warrick everything. How Sara told him about the baby, he rejected her and the baby, his fight with Greg and even the scene he witnessed earlier.

"Whoa." Was the only thing Warrick could say.

"And I really hate myself right now for not accepting Sara at the first place."

"What the hell were you thinking, man? Treating Sara like that," said Warrick ready to smack him on the head.

"That's just it, I wasn't thinking, when I heard the baby was mine, I freaked," said Nick.

"Nick, you have to make this right."

"How? Now she's with Greg, and I could never tell her I love her!" said Nick banging the table. He was very frustrated with the situation he was in.

"You're in love with Sara?" asked Warrick disbelievingly.

"Yeah."

"Nick, you gotta do something, this is tearing you inside," said Warrick.

"You think so?"

"Yeah, you have to give it a shot, if you say you love her so much, you have to do it" said Warrick.

"Okay, I'll do it," said Nick getting up.

"Now?"

"Yeah, I need to tell her now," said Nick.

"Okay, good luck, man," said Warrick.

"Thanks War, you really helped me a lot," said Nick.

"Yeah, now go get your girl," said Warrick smiling.
