The Love Of My Life

Chapter 3

The next day, Mom allowed me to stay home while Nick went to school. She called school and talked to them about the problem. I was in my room when the phone rang.

"Hello," I said.

"Hey Bri, it's Nick," Nick said.

"Hey, what's going on?" I asked.

"You better be glad you aren't here, it's really bad, Brent's been spreading rumors all morning, saying stuff like you are a slut and you sleep around and well, I can't tell you the rest over the phone, I'll come by after school, okay," Nick said.

"Okay, see ya," I said.

"Bye babe," Nick said. I hung up. I told my mom what Nick said. She called Brent's mom. They talked for a long time. That afternoon, Nick came over. We were in my room. I closed the door and locked it. I sat on my bed. Nick sat down.

"What did he say?" I asked.

"That you aren't a virgin and that you are easy, that's a lie, I know it," Nick said.

"Damn right it's a lie, I am a virgin, I haven't slept with anybody, that jerk, my mom called his mom, I so much want to hurt that jerk," I said.

"I'll call AJ, Brian, Nick, and Kevin, they will know what to do," Nick said.

"Do it," I said. Ten minutes later, there was a knock at the bedroom door. I opened it and saw Brian, AJ, Howie, and Kevin. They came in. I closed the door and locked it.

"Bri, Nick, what's going on?" Brian asked.

We told them the story. We were talking when a brick came flying through my window. It landed on the floor.

"Bri!" Mom called.

"I'm fine, Mom!" I called back. I picked up the brick and saw a note. It said: YOU'RE DEAD! I dropped the brick and sank to the floor. Nick wrapped his arms around me. Brian picked up the brick. He read the message. Kevin, Howie, and AJ saw the message.

"Howie, call the bodyguards, you will be okay, Bri, we won't let anything happen to you," Brian said.

Kevin went downstairs and told my mom the news. She came up and hugged me.

"Lonnie, Tom, Marcus, Billy, and Jimmy are on their way," Howie said. Bob came to the door.

"Someone's in the backyard," Bob said. We all ran downstairs. Nick, Brian, Howie, AJ, and Kevin ran out the back. Nick saw Brent standing there. Nick ran to him and tackle him. Kevin and Nick held him down. Brian and AJ tied him up.

"Why are you doing this, Brent?" Nick asked angrily.

"Her mother called the school and my parents! I'm in so much trouble," Brent said.

"Then you've shouldn't of spread those rumors about Bri around school, if you didn't, you wouldn't be in trouble," Nick said.

"Nick!" I shouted. Nick turned and saw Chris holding a gun to my head. He had an arm around my waist.

"Let him go or she dies!" Chris said.

"Chris, what are you doing!" Brent said.

"I'm helping you," Chris said.

"This isn't helping, okay, I don't need any help, I'm not going to do anything," Brent said.

"We had a plan, remember," Chris said.

"No, I don't," Brent said.

"We came up with a plan to take her somewhere and kill her," Chris said.

"I'm not going to do that, Chris, I'm not a murderer, I wasn't going to kill her!" Brent yelled.

"Yeah, right, you were talking about it all night," Chris said.

"I was not! Let her go, Chris!" Brent shouted.

"Let her go, Chris!" Nick yelled.

"Let me go, please!" I cried.

"Can't do it, sorry," Chris said as he started pulling me towards the driveway. He bumped into something and he turned and saw Lonnie and Tom. With Marcus, Billy, and Jimmy behind them. Lonnie grabbed the gun. Tom and Marcus grabbed Chris while Billy and Jimmy grabbed Brent. I stood there shaking. Nick came over and hugged me close.

"Are you okay," Nick said.

"I am now," I said burying my face in his chest as he held me. The police arrived and got our statements. Lonnie, Tom, Marcus, Billy,and Jimmy left. Brian, Howie, Kevin, and AJ went home. Nick and I were in my room. Bob and Mom were in the kitchen. Nick and I were talking while boarding up the window.

"What a day," Nick said.

"Yeah," I said. I sat down on the bed. He sat down next to me.

"I was so scared that I was going to lose you," Nick said.

"Well, I'm here," I said. He smiled and hugged me close.

"Prom's coming up and I will be here, want to go?" Nick said.

"You know I would definitely go with you," I said smiling. He leaned in and we kissed. We laid down on the bed and kissed.

"Where's the prom at?" Nick asked.

"At the Orlando Hotel, why?" I asked. He smiled.

"Oh, that's why, you want to get a room," I said.

"Yeah, if you don't want me to, I don't have to," Nick said.

"Go ahead, I want to see what a suite looks like," I said. We continued kissing.
