Chapter 6: I Am Speechless

As soon as we all got into the stage room Nick, Joe, and Kevin were whisked away for their clothing and makeup as usual, leaving me and Robin alone to talk. We went into a small dressing room behind the stage no one was using. When we got in there we sat on a little couch. Should I be alone with this guy I just met?

"Ive, do you like me?", Rob asked me.
"I suppose.", I said feeling quite uncomfortable.
"I really like you too.", he said getting close to me.

Wait I never said I really liked you, where is Nick when you need him.

"I have got to go.", I said attempting to get up, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me down.

You may ask why did I not just run, but this guy was huge. He had to be at least, wait I don't even know how old he is. What is his last name? Where is Nick?

"Let's just talk.", he said pulling me close.
"No, the concert is going to-", I stopped because he pulled me really close and kissed me.

I tried to push away, but I just couldn't. I managed to scream help, and less then three seconds Joe burst through the door.

"What are you doing?", Joe screams riping Rob off of me.

I ran out of the room to find Nick, but ever so much I wish I hadn't. I heard the corner and could hear Nick talking on the phone. I could only hear his side of the story, but I knew who he was talking to.

"I told her, I know you don't want me around her."
"Yes, I know."
"I have to go do my concert."
"I love you too."
"I will tell her she can't go on the Burning Up tour today I promise."
"Bye.", then he hung up.

I was in tears as he came around the corner.

"Did you hear that?", Nick said giving me a hug.
"Yes, I did.", pulling away and pushing him.
"I didn't mean it."
"Yes you did, why do you care more about her than me? Am I not your best friend any more?", I said now tears were flowing down my face.
"No."
"Well, I will get on a plane tomorrow to leave, you won't have to worry."
"But, you will not be here for your birthday."
"Good.", I screamed as I ran to the bus.

When I got to the bus I ran into Nick's room I really did not care about that stupid concert. I had just been crushed. How could he do that to me. I read the french newspaper and fell asleep.

"Ivory.", said a familiar voice.
"You have to perk up, that boy loves you.", said my father standing right in front of me.
"But, he is not my friend any more.", I said in total shock.
"He will realize who he loves one day, don't push him."
"O.k. I won't daddy.", I said trying to give him a hug, but he was gone.

"Ive, Ive, Ive.", said Kevin shacking me to wake up.
"I am sorry I will leave.", I said standing up.
"No, don't you can stay in here."

I looked at the clock it was 11:30, just about when the concerts usually let out. I really wanted to talk to Nick, but decided to talk to Kevin.

"Kev, I think I am going to go home.", I said while starting to sit up.
"Really, but your birthday, what is bothering you?"
"Well, Nick doesn't want to be around me anymore.", I said tearing up.
"Oh, I am sure he does."
"No he doesn't."
"Here let me show you something", he said heading for Nick's bag.
"What?"
"Here.", he said handing me a scrap book much like mine.

I began to flip through the pages. It was all me and Nick or just me. Then in the back I saw the pictures I sent Nick when he was on the Prom tour, and the lyrics to Hello Beautiful beside them. I started to cry as I flipped through some more. There was the note that I wrote to him that told him how much I loved him. Just then someone walked into the room I looked up and it was Nick. He looked at me and as soon as he realized what was in my hands he ran over and grabbed it.

"Get out of my stuff!", he yelled as he slammed it shut.
"Nick.", me and Kevin said in unison.
"No!", Nick said starting to rip up the first few pages.
"Nick!", said Kevin trying to rip it from his hands.

The next this that happened was shocking, I was speechless, right there in front of my eyes the one who I knew I loved passes out. Kevin yelled for his mom, and both his mother and father came running in. I sat on the bed and couldn't believe my eyes they checked his pulse, then I could here sirens. They carried him out of the room leaving me in the dark.
