Holy crap, okay, okay...BREATH DESTINEY! *whew* Okay, so I just found out that there's gonna be The Hangover 2! And filming is set to start I think either August 15th or October 15th. It comes out in 2011! And guess who's back...? NICK-LOOK-ALIKE Bradley Cooper! I wonder where its taking place this time? Maybe Atlantic City or Reno...somewhere that involves partying/gambling, lol. Maybe he divorcd his wife, lol, since he complains so much in the movie that he hates being married...
Random: So I was playing L4D2 today whenever Nick startled the Witch (good gawd). And somehow I got stuck in her path trying to cr0wn her, and she attacked me instead (I was playing as Ellis). I went down and Nick was like 20 feet away from me. Rochelle revived me and I was like, "Yeah, thanks a lot NICK." Then he waltz over to where I am, 20 FEET AWAY, and heals me whenever Coach and Rochelle both had healthpacks and were standing RIGHT NEXT TO ME. It made me burst into a fit of giggles...

Nick still refused to talk to Ellis in a kind manner. He tried his best to advoid any conversations at all with him. He had to say that he felt a little betrayed...

"Zoey, Zoey, Zoey, Zoey, Zoe- I can jus' say that name all day long. Zoey, Zoey, Zoey..." Ellis mumbled over and over again, passing through the trashed wedding. The cry of a Witch was heard nearby and Nick gritted his teeth in both annoyance towards the which and Ellis. He wished he'd just shut up about the stupid girl. Did anything they did matter to him? "Y'all, this reminds me...Imma totally have to marry that girl."
Nick curled his fingers in, his nails scrapping against his palms, making them sting. Rochelle took note of his changed behaviour and sent a sorry look towards him.
"Nick..." she whispered, laying a hand on his shoulder. "It's just a small crush. You know how Ellis is. It'll pass..."
He dismissed her hand, shooing it away with his own. "Yeah. Sure. Wanting to marry the girl is completely crush-worthy. I don't care anyhow. I actually like this a whole lot better."
Rochelle bit her lip, knowing that Nick was lying to her and himself. She knew it was a lie because it it wasn't, then why was Nick so bitter towards Zoey and Ellis now? She knew it must've really been breaking his heart. Her eyebrows lowered as she frowned, feeling a bit of his heartache.
"Nick, he'll forget it as soon as we-"
Nick turned his back to her, and began stalking away. "Yeah, what the fuck ever. I don't give a shit. Never did." He walked ahead of the group, easily dispatching nearby zombies. He didn't pay any mind to the witch, too pissed off to give a shit about her.
Rochelle stared after him quietly. Yeah...this was definitely getting to him. Ellis walked up behind Rochelle, catching her off guard with his voice.
"Where's Nick goin' to?" he asked curiously. They picked back up walking, trailing behind the conman slowly. The cries of the witch grew louder. "He looked kinda pissed."
"He is pissed, sweety." Rochelle sighed. Sometimes Ellis was too oblivious to the things around him. She wished he was more alert. This probably wouldn't be happening. "What's going on with you and this Zoey girl?"
Ellis' blushed deeply and busied himself with his gun. "She is an AN-GEL. God, I don't think I've ever seen a girl so beautiful." His voice trailed off into a low mumble.
Nick glanced behind him and saw Ellis and Rochelle talking. Of course, leave it to Rochelle to try and patch things up. It didn't matter though. He was actually kind've glad of the whole situation. This was the break he'd been waiting for.
While he knew he couldn't fool himself into not caring for Ellis, he knew that their lopsided relationship needed to come to a halt. He'd made sure not to let himself become emotionally attached to people, ever again. Especially since he divorced his wife, being convinced that love was a silly little distraction that he of all people didn't need.
You had your one-night stands. You had your occasional little "lovers". Then you had Ellis. Nick couldn't place him in either of those catagories and this bothered him. He'd made the fatal mistake of coming to care for Ellis. He needed to sever that bond before he got himself any deeper into this situation. This was just the distraction he needed.
Don't think about it, dumbass... He thought to himself.
It would never work. He and Ellis were from two completely different worlds. The kid was an optimist. He was a pessimist. The kid was a southerner. He was from the north. He was a gambler. The kid was a mechanic.
He traded love for money.
Ellis didn't trade anything for anything.
The cry of the witch was loud now, and it hurt Nick's ears. There she was, dressed up in the gaudy wedding gown, covered in blood and gore. Nick felt his frustration materialize into his newly found shotgun and trudged forward.
Rochelle, Ellis, and Coach turned just in time to see Nick looming above the furious, growling witch.
"NICK, WHAT THE HELL, MAN!" Ellis cried out to him. He felt his hands tighten on his gun, ready to charge forward and help kill the witch.
They all watched in horror and Nick lifted the barrel of his shotgun to the witch's head.
And cr0wned her on the spot.
"Cr0wned, bitch." He spat on her, kicking the lifeless body away. And continued on with his business as if nothing ever happened.
His three teammates stared dumbfounded. Ellis finally mumbled under his breath. "Definitely pissed..."

The bridge was lowered now, and the four survivors were running across it back to Jimmy Gibbs' racecar.
Ellis bellowed out. "I LOVE YA ZOEY! Never forgetcha girl!"
He made it to the car first, jumping into the driver seat. Rochelle went to sit in the back, but Nick reached the spot before her. "Nick?" She asked questioningly.
"You sit in front, Ro. I don't want to." He said bitterly. Coach climbed in beside Nick awkwardly, feeling the tension in the air. Ellis looked into the rearview mirror, taking note of the obvious change. His baby blues surveyed Nick worriedly, a frown carressing his features. He shot the same look towards Rochelle.
"Ro..." He whispered sadly to her. He realized that maybe he shouldn't have shouted his love for Zoey in the open like that. Rochelle had explained that it was making Nick a little jealous. He hadn't noticed the conman's cold shoulder attitude earlier, but now it bugged him beyond anything.
Rochelle merely shook her head, not responding. He sighed sadly and pressed down on the gas pedal, leaving his behind the 3 other survivors.

Which brings Nick back to his thoughts now. They stood at the entrance of Whispering Oaks amusement park.
He still wasn't talking to Ellis and never gave the mechanic the chance to talk to him. Whereas they would regularly walk together in the back, Nick now stood in the front with Coach while Rochelle took his spot beside Ellis.
Ellis never really talked anymore, afraid of the awkwardness that would ensue. He only talked when urged, but they were merely informational phrases, such as "Pills here" or "I hear a hunter".
It was a definite change for Coach and Rochelle, who were used to the constant chattering of the mechanic and Nick's sarcastic, yet playful remarks. The silence was thick and it was starting to get unnerving.
Coach decided to break the ice. "Well, hell...The Midnight Riders! And we just missed them? DAMN!"
Ellis caught the 3 words in his sentence and responded eagerly. "The Midnight Riders! You kiddin' me! Man, I love 'em! Didn't know you were a fan, Coach!"
Rochelle smiled, thankful for the change, but then remembered that Nick was being as cold as ever. Sh walked up to him and nudged his arm. "Hey...lighten up, grumpy. You can't stay mad forever."
Nick glared daggers at her. "I'm not mad." He snapped out.
Rochelle was unphased, used to his behaviour. "You so are, too. Look, Ellis feels really bad about what he done and see? He's already over her, like I said. Give him a chance Nick."
Nick remained unmoved. "There is no chance to give, Ro." He closed his eyes and sighed wearily. "Maybe its better like this. Ellis would be a lot better off without me."
Rochelle pursed her lips. She couldn't really argue with Nick, knowing full well that he wasn't xactly best for Ellis. But she did know one thing. "But you make him happy."
Nick shook his head in disagreement. He didn't give her response, so Rochelle finally gave up. She walked over to the ammo pile and reloaded her hunting rifle.
Ellis and Coach were now done ranting about The Midnight Riders. Ellis took to stealing glances between Rochelle and Nick. He'd seen peripherally out of his vision that they'd been talking. He saw how Nick sighed and shook his head and Rochelle's hopeful smile finally crumbled.
"I think I fucked up..." he whispered to himself. He chest ached dully with heartbreak. "Shit, man..."
He couldn't take much more of Nick's silence and rejection. Something was going to have to be done.

Of course, asshole Nick is gonna try and deny his lurve for Ellis. Its so natural.
I couldn't just make this story happy-go-lucky. I always, ALWAYS try to give my stories happy endings...IDK about this one...I'm not sure yet. It just depends on where I take this from here.
Still incredibly excited for The Hangover 2. I guess now is the best time to say that I am OFFICALLY obsessed with Bradley Cooper...and so is my mom, lol...
Y'know whats even weirder? BRADLEY COOPER IS 35 YEARS OLD, SAME AS NICK! O_o
Suggestions? Comments? Criticism? Welcomed.
Flamers? Haha, I LAFF at'chu.
