Also if you aren't old enough you shouldn't be here reading this warning... Chapter 5 of Summer Love By Ethan I guess I must have nodded off again because I woke up to the sound of water running. I looked around and he was not there he must be in the shower by the sounds I heard. I got up and tried to make myself look presentable before he came out. I heard a door open and I looked around and there he was standing there with nothing on but a towel around his waist. The sight was almost to much for me he was more hot in reality than he was in my dreams. "Ethan about time you woke up the guys are waiting on us for breakfast. I will be ready in a minute." Nick Said. I needed to get cleaned up but Nick insisted I looked just fine and it could wait till after breakfast. I was already late for my first class so I wasn't going to worry. I wanted to enjoy every second with Nick that I could before I had to go back to my own private hell. We went to Brian's room and everyone was there and all poking fun at the two sleepyheads that had made them all faint from hunger. We all filled out plates and had a fun time talking and cracking jokes. Finally I had to pull myself away before I couldn't bear to leave. Nick wanted me to stay until they left and so did everyone else. They all hammered on me till I relented. I had already blown off most of my classes for the day and I didn't have to go to work that night. The next few hours just flew by with their preparations to leave and before long all their bags were being loaded into the vans and we were on our way to the airport. one of their bodyguards was following us in my car. Nick was putting up a fuss about leaving now that we had become friends he didn't want to leave Brian was trying to tell him that I had school and work and they had a tour to finish so there was no way. He finally gave in and just sat there with that cute pouty face I had really fallen for after I promised that I would call him on his cellular phone and write to tell him how I was. I gave him my cellular number also so he could call if he needed a friend to talk to. We arrived at the airport under heavy security and a hundred hugs and handshakes later they were boarding the plane. Nick was the last to leave. He gave me a bonecrushing and lingering hug I finally had to break his embrace before he missed his flight. "I just don't want to leave now !!!" Nicky wined "Nick you have to get on that plane before you miss it I don't want you to leave either but you have a tour to finish. We will talk all the time we made that promise remember?" I said trying to hide the pain I was in myself. " I remember." Nicky said with his patented pout. Finally but slowly he started walking away and disappeared into the gate. I almost broke down then and there but I kept my cool I didn't want to breakdown in front of him. As he walked away I almost thought I saw tears in his eyes but I couldn't be sure. I convinced myself that I was seeing things and that my overworked emotions were making me see things that aren't there. I slowly walked to my car and I almost made it but not quite the tears started coming like a flood from a damn that had burst. Now I had really done it I had a crush on Nicky before we met now I had to suffer the torment of having fallen madly and totally in love with him. How was I going to bear the pain of never seeing my true love again. How was I going to go back to my miserable lonely life. On the road home I just barely held back the tears so I was able to drive. I was so distraught that I had fleeting thoughts of driving into a bridge abutment. In the end I had to kill those thoughts my mom needed me and I couldn't leave her like that. I got back to my apartment around seven o'clock and I went straight to my room. Luckily my roommates were out because I was in no shape to face anybody all I wanted to do is lock myself in my room and hide from everyone. I just stared at the wall for seeming hours the tears flowing in a steady stream down my face. I must have dozed off because I was startled awake by my cell phone ringing. I almost didn't answer but I thought it might be my mom so I picked it up reluctantly. " Hello?" "Hey Ethan its Nick!!" "Hi Nick how are you? Where are you right now?" "We are in Las Vegas we just got off the plane. I had to call you as soon as we got off I miss you already. We were just getting to know each other." Nicky said with a quake in his voice. "I know I miss you too but we have such different lives you are traveling all over the country on tour and I am stuck here in school." I said trying to be strong. " I want you to come on tour with us." Nick said. I was really fighting to keep control now. " I do to!! That would be so cool but I have to finish school so I can get out of here for good eventually. I don't want to be stuck here the rest of my life." "Well let me talk to Brian I think you can do something with the band so you can tour and stay with us." "What can I do I have no talent." I said my voice cracking with emotion. "Well you are a computer whiz aren't you?" "Yea." " Well everything is run be computers and you could take care of them for us." "That would be cool but what about school and my job?" "We can deal with that when the time comes ." "It sounds awesome but I don't know." but for the first time I was beginning to see a glimmer of hope. " Just let me talk to Brian and we can talk more about it later. It is just so good to hear your voice I can't get over how much I miss you." Nicky said his voice quaking with emotion once again. "Same here Nick I miss you a lot too." "Well I better get going Brian is having a fit and he is about ready to pick me up and carry me to the limo." " OK Nick bye !! And say hi to the guys for me!!" "OK Ethan bye I miss you!!" " I miss you too !!! Bye !!" After we hung up I felt better and worse at the same time. I was so happy he cared enough to call me so soon and he seemed to genuinely miss me. However I was even sadder that we were so far apart. I was thinking a mile a minute how could I pick up and leave everything. NA he won't be able to talk Brian into letting me tag along let along become part of the group even though it was on the technical end. I had to stop this I was going to make myself crazy. I just went back to bed and fell asleep with thoughts of Nicky on my mind. The next morning I was awoke with the general clatter of my roommates getting ready for school. I was just going to stay in bed till they left because I still wasn't in the mood to face anyone. I figured I would cut classes one more day and try to get a grip on my emotions. I had just turned over when my door burst open and in walks Danny one of my roommates. "Hey Ethan get your ass out of bed you have a class in an hour!!" " I `m not going to class I don't feel well." as I buried my head under the covers. "Sure I wouldn't feel well either if I had just got off a two day binge but that's no excuse get up!!!" Danny said with a bit of sarcasm . "Just get out I'm sick!!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE !!!!!!!" I shouted. "OK whatever but don't come crying to me when you are flunking out!!!" He left and slammed the door behind him and I just rolled over and tried to stop from crying again. I was feeling more lonely than ever . I felt really shitty for screaming at Danny that was he was one of my best friends and really did care what happened to me. I stayed in bed till noon then I got up and fired up my playstation and tried to immerse myself in Resident Evil but I couldn't concentrate on the game my thoughts kept wandering to the fun I had playing with Nicky. I stuck to the game for a while but I couldn't concentrate. I put everything away went to the kitchen and filled my travel mug with coffee. I figured I may as well go for a walk and try to clear my head. I walked for what seemed like hours. I just walked around aimlessly trying to figure out a way out of my misery. I was startled out of my dreamlike state by the sound of my phone ringing.
