- Owen's POV -

"So your telling me that you came all the way here to track down a bloody dinosaur?" Justin yelled at Nicole. I watched as her grip tightened on her gun. I didn't want to intervene. If I did that could have made things worse. I don't even think Nicole knew we were all here. Her main focus was on Justin.

"No I came here for- for. It's too complicated you wouldn't understand." she retorted and then she looked over and saw us.

"Okay I am going to set all of this straight." she said looking directly at me. I just stared at her in return and her gaze then turned to Justin.

"Yes please do." Justin said crossing his arms.

"Michael, I only think of you as a friend. Nothing more." Nicole said and she looked like she wanted to say something else but held it back. Like it was something she didn't want anyone to know about. Michael nodded and then she said my name.

"Owen," she began, looking directly at me and smiling.

"I regret walking away from you. Claire suggested I started dating, to help get my mind off you but I couldn't. Justin has always been into me and he would hit on me everytime we would see each other. I just said yes to shut him up and so we went on a few dates but I have no feelings for him. I love you Owen. You and only you."

'And I love you and only you too Nicole.' I thought.

Now I understood why she said she couldn't marry me. She had to dump this doctors ass first. But why didn't she just be honest with me in the first place? Then again, I didn't tell her about that slut Brooke. So now I guess we're even.

"Justin. I never liked you. I'm sorry. I know you care for me and you love me but I don't want to to be trapped for the rest of my life in a relationship that I would feel trapped in."

So many thoughts were going through my mind. The main one was how would this bastard prefer to die.

"This is all your fault!" Justin yelled at me.

"It isn't my fault that Nicole made the brilliant decision to date a jackass." I snapped at him. At this point I just wanted this son of a bitch dead. Now I know how Nicole felt about Brooke. Justin walked over to me, he was pissed. I wanted to shoot him and nicely dispose of his body by throwing it in Maggie's tank.

Nicole then pulled out her gun and aimed it at Justin. She walked closer to him and I looked at her but she wasn't looking at me.

"You wouldn't." Justin said stepping back raising his hands. Nicole's blue eyes flashed in my direction but then looked back at Justin.

"I wouldn't. You're right." she said before turning the gun on herself. She looked at all of us, her finger pressing lightly on the trigger and I felt my heart rate increase. If this is how she was going to settle things then I had to intervene. She wasn't going to take her life for real this time.

"Are you crazy?!" I heard Gray yell and a smile appeared on Nicole's face.

"I thought you already knew that?" I heard her whisper.

"Nicole don't! I yelled and she looked at me. Her eyes showed signs of an apologie and I stood there. I wanted to go over there and take the gun from her and use it to kill Justin but I found myself incapable of moving.
