The door was slightly ajar and Liz looked in to see Gina & Nick hugging. She
got the wrong impression. She kicked it open and laughed sarcastically saying
"What an idiot I am! I come here to see if we can work things out and this is
what I find! You don't learn do you??!" The sudden noise startled Nick & Gina
and they stood far apart from each other. Nick said, "You’ve got this all
wrong we were just—" "This doesn’t concern you anymore Nick. It did at the
beginning but now its not the issue." Liz growled. "Liz! Stop OK! I did
nothing wrong!" Gina said defending herself. "How dare you say that! You knew
I liked Nick!!" Liz spat out. "Well at least I was confident enough to get a
guy unlike you who’s been the meek little wallflower always watching and never
doing!!" That hurt Liz more than anything. She teared up and then slapped
Gina across the face as hard as she could. Nick was in shock. He didn’t
think Liz could do that. "Who’s the meek one now?" Liz said wiping tears from
her eyes. "It’s definitely not me!" Gina retorted and slapped Liz. She
stumbled back, holding her hand to her face. It was very red from the slap and
now Liz was furious. "You stupid little whore.." she hissed under her breath.
She went to lunge at Gina when Nick stopped her. "Come on…we—me and you—have
to talk this out. Alone." He said. "Let me go! Please!" Liz screamed as she
struggled against Nick. AJ rushed in and saw what was happening. "Hey man, do
you have her under control?" AJ asked worriedly. "Yeah I think so." And took
Liz out in the hall. Inside, AJ rushed to Gina’s side..taking the sobbing
girl in his arms and gently rocking her back and forth.
Outside, Liz had calmed down. But she wasn’t alright. "I—I—I can’t believe I
just said and did that in there. I’m such a horrible person!" That was when
she broke down in Nick’s arms. "Hey..It’ll be OK..it will. You are NOT a
horrible person..you’re feelings were hurt..that’s all.." He said in a
soothing voice. Then he sang a part from the BsB’s song "All I Have To Give"
except he changed some words around. "I don’t know, what I did to make you
cry, but I’ll be there to make you smile…" It calmed Liz’s nerves down a lot
and she hugged Nick tighter. He smiled and kissed her forehead. *This is why I
like her too..she’s fiesty, yet she can calm down in an instant..* All of a
sudden, Liz looked up and said "I’m sorry Nick. For the way I acted and how I
didn’t give either of you a chance to explain." Then she looked down. He put
his hand underneath her chin and lifted her head and said "I know why you were
yelling before." Liz turned a brilliant shade of red. "You do?" she whispered.
"Yes..I do."
*Gonna swallow my pride, say I'm sorry. Stop pointing fingers the blame is on
me. I want a new life and I want it with you. If you feel the same, don't ever
let it go.*
