Adam's point of view: I sat back comfortably and placed my hands on the steering wheel. "So, what happened?" I asked. Nash sighed. "Rick fainted because he got too drunk. Don't worry. Jake brought him home." I looked at Nash. "Rick never drinks alcohol." "Jake forced him to do so." Nash answered bluntly. "Still," I insisted, "I myself cannot even force Rick to sip a little bit of vodka." Nash looked away. "Today is different. He's... depressed." "Depressed?" I repeated back. "Chelsea broke up with him." Nash scowled. "Break-up? Why?!" I exclaimed. Nash glared at me. "It's because of you." "Me? What did I do?" I defensively asked. "Chelsea learned about you- the fact that you are Rick's brother." Nash snapped. My jaw dropped. "But isn't that a small reason for a break-up?" Nash sighed. "Their relationship was already on the line even before Chelsea knew anything. That revelation finished Chelsea's last drop of patience." I slouched back. "So, is it the end for them?" Nash looked away. "There's still a way." she whispered. I looked at her. "What way?" "You know what I mean." Nash hissed. Honestly, I completely understood what Nash meant. I jut don't imagine doing that. "So... are we going to do it?" I inhaled. Nash sniffed. "This is the only way to ease Rick's pain." I grabbed Nash's hand. "But if we do this, you know your chances with Rick will surely disappear!" "Those chances were gone a long time ago." Nash sniffed. "So, this just means one thing. Are you giving up on Rick?" I asked solemnly. Nash looked at me with tear-filled eyes. "Yes. Yes, I am."
Nash's point of view: "Look, she's a beauty!" "She looks amazingly stunning." "Her name is... Nash, right? Nash Homers?" These are the words I hear daily from the people around me. I am flattered, of course. I feel like I am the queen of the world. I feel like I can win everything. I can have everything. But now. All of those thoughts vanished. I did not have everything. I cannot even have the man I love. FLASHBACK "Hey Nash!" Maggie, my long-time bestfriend, called out to me. "Hey Maggie!" I smiled. "Whoa," Maggie exclaimed as she dramatically covered her eyes with her hands, "Don't smile like that. It's just too bright." I giggled. "Don't exaggerate." Maggie smiled mischievously. "What?" I laughed, "Why are you smiling like that?" "I heard some rumors," Maggie smiled, "I heard that this guy likes you." "Is that even news?" I joked. "Hey! Don't be arrogant!" Maggie playfully said, "But this guy's different." "Who is he?" I asked as I took a sip on my soda. I really don't care who he is. "Rick Anderson." As soon as I heard his name, I SPAT all the soda from my mouth right into Maggie's face. "Oops." I gasped. "Naaaash." Maggie whimpered as she wiped her face with the tissue. "I'm so sorry." I apologized, trying not to laugh." Maggie looked at me. "You seem to have a different reaction." "Well," I admitted as I blushed madly, "I kinda like Rick Anderson too." Maggie's jaw dropped. "Since when?" I hid my red face. "We were Biology partners last semester. He really took care of my work since I cannot bear to even touch a frog's skin." Maggie's eyes widened in adoration. "Then?" "As he worked," I continued, "I began to notice his incredible handsome features. He was a good talker also. He has a good sense of humor." "Sounds like a perfect man." Maggie smiled. "He is!" I exclaimed. "Then, what are you waiting for? Go and confess!" Maggie exclaimed. "What? No! Since he also likes me, I'll just wait for him to court me." I sighed. Maggie's expression darkened. "And what if he does not make a move on you, what will you do?" I froze. I did not think about that. But I shook my head vigorously. "No. I can't risk my dignity like that." Maggie frowned. "Naaash..." "I can wait." I confidently announced. "Nash!" Maggie cried out, "It's Rick Anderson we are talking about. He's so famous that the whole school went gaga for him." I smiled. "But I'm confident." Maggie hissed. "So arrogant." I got up and grabbed my Prada bag. "See ya later, Maggie." I walked confidently down the halls. With the thought of Rick Anderson being mine in the future made me all giddy inside. All of a sudden, I saw my prospect down the hall. I felt my heart jump. Ugh. This is my first time feeling this way. "Rick!" His friends called out to me. They were all laughing for some reason. And by that time, I cannot even see anyone but him. As they passed by me, his friends stared, whistled and even greeted me. But Rick was the only one who ignored me completely. "He must be shy." I arrogantly whispered. Courageously, I grabbed Rick's arm. The whole group of boys stopped and looked at my surprising act. "Hi Rick." I cooed. Rick turned to me and smiled. "Hi." I froze. That smile. That smile... so perfect. I can feel my heart racing. I can feel myself blushing. "Are you okay?" Rick asked as he bent over towards me. Completely embarrassed, I looked away and released my grasp on his muscular arm. "Yeah..." I whispered. "That's good." he smiled once again and walked away with his overly-jealous friends. My heart did not stop beating. That's when I realized... That I'll throw away my dignity... ... and confess to him.
Nash's point of view: (flashback continued) "Whoa!" Maggie gasped, "What happened?" "Does it look weird?" I whispered shyly. "Weird? No! You're absolutely gorgeous!" Maggie cried out. I smiled at Maggie's compliment. I worked out my make-up early in the morning. I applied some light eye-liner and blush-on. I also put on some lipstick to add color. I even chose my sister's romantic dress to match everything. "With this look of yours," Maggie added, "all the guys in our schoo- I mean, the whole world will bow down to that kind of perfection." "Don't exaggerate." I giggled. "You might even attract women." Maggie said. I froze because of Maggie's words. Suddenly, Maggie realized what she just said. "No, that does not mean I like you. I have a perfect boyfriend, remember?" We both laughed. "So, when are you going to confess?" Maggie asked. "Later. This afternoon." I inhaled. "Good luck." Maggie smiled. "Thanks." I called out as I walked down the hallway. The day passed, and I can say that it was really tiring. People kept complimenting me or even secretly take pictures of me. That is why I do not wear make-up. The attention is just too much. The moment has finally arrived. I went up the rooftop just like my secret love letter cited. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. Ugh. I guess he brought his whole group along. "So, who's the girl?" a voice asked. "I don't know." a voice answered. Obviously, it was Rick's. As the door opened and they realized that it was me, the whole group roared. "It was Nash Homers!" "Rick, you're so lucky!" "Rick, you're so dead!" "C'mon guys," Rick laughed, "leave us two alone." The rest of the boys grumbled and exited the rooftop. "You called me?" Rick smiled. My heart almost jumped out from my chest. "I-I..." I trailed off. I have to do this. I want Rick to be mine. Right here, right now. "... like you!" I cried out. Silence. Rick just stared at me, mildly surprised. "You-your answer?" I stammered. Rick sincerely looked into my eyes. "Umm... I have a question first." Rick trailed off. "Go ahead." I smiled. I have a good feeling about this. He's going to accept my confession! "Do you..." Rick asked innocently, "... go to my school?"
AUTHOR'S NOTE I have something to share with you, guys. The last update actually sent me laughing while I was writing it. Rick's last words "Do you go to my school?" were quite hilarious. This just means one thing: he does not even recognize the oh-so-perfect Nastasha/Nash Homers. BTW, do you have any guesses on what Adam and Nash's plan going to be? Hope you enjoyed these three updates.
zomg!! Triple update..great Maybe Nash and Adam will find a way to bring back Rick and Chelsea together
