Heather turned the doorknob and slowly opened the door. Nick stood there holding a bouquet of white roses. His eyes sparkled with unshed tears and he stood there nervously waiting for Heather to speak. � You should call your mother, she�s worried about you,� She said softly.
� I�m sorry baby,� He whispered, letting his own tears slowly roll down his cheeks. � I�m so sorry. I never wanna hurt you-�
� Well you did,�
� I know. Please forgive me, Heather. I was jealous and stupid-�
� You can�t apologize outside, come in,� She said stepping back so he could enter.
He smiled faintly and handed her the roses before going inside. � Thank you,� She said.
Heather showed him to the living room and sat her roses down on the table. � Do you want something to drink or anything?�
� No, thank you,� he said, wiping his tears away with the back of his hand. � I just wanna talk,�
He sat down on the couch and Heather sat down next to him. � After I left here today, I caught a cab to the Four Seasons� and slept; Which is something I haven�t been able to do for a long time, Heather. This is hard to explain�. My life practically fell apart when you stopped calling. I couldn�t eat and I couldn�t sleep thinking that I�d done something wrong, that would have made you not want to talk to me anymore-�
� Nick, I never stopped calling you. I�ve just been busy-�
� I know, but that didn�t stop me from thinking that you didn�t love me or that there was someone else. And I�d been living with that for over three months; day in and day out, and it was starting to wear on me. Then last night I called and when you didn�t pick up, something snapped and I knew I had to talk to you, and if I couldn�t do it on the phone, then I�d do it in person. So I ran to the airport� literally. Heather, my car is still in our driveway. Anyway, I flew here wanting to see you so badly and hear your voice, and when I called you, Brian answered the phone. And I just felt so stupid, thinking that I could actually come out here and make you love me again- But I only realized after I�d made a complete fool of myself how all of this must look to you and I�m truly sorry. I was insanely jealous and stupid and it�ll never happen again-�
� But Nick you hit me. How am I supposed to forgive that?�
� You�re not, and you�re supposed to remind me of it everyday and every time I get angry. Because I don�t want to be like that. I don�t want to be that kind of person Heather. I want to be someone you can feel safe with-�
� You really scared me today. I mean I�ve never seen that side of you before Nick. And it really scared me.�
� I�m sorry,� He said looking down at his hands. � I love you Heath, and I just don�t want to lose you,�
� Why would you think I�d cheat on you? Nick I don�t have time to cheat on you� even if I wanted to! I�ve been in Europe and touring and-�
� Heather you have to remember something, I�m just a regular guy here and you�re this big star, who could have any guy in the world at anytime-�
� And the guy I want most doesn�t trust me, so he flies all the way from Florida-�
� I wanted to see you-�
� No, you wanted to see if I was cheating on you. There�s a difference. And what if I hadn�t been home? Would you have flown all the way to Switzerland? Nick you have to trust me and believe that I love you and won�t cheat on you. And even if I did rest assured it wouldn�t be with Brian. God, he�s like my brother!�
� That makes m feel so much better,� He said rolling his eyes.
Heather wrapped her arms around him kissing his cheek. � I�m sorry for making you doubt me Nick.�
� You shouldn�t be apologizing, Heather This is my time to grovel.�
This is OUR time to grovel,� She said. � I should�ve tried harder to keep in touch. Speaking of keeping in touch� You really should call your mom,� She said softly.
