Chapter 5 of Summer Love By Ethan

      I guess I must have nodded off again because I woke up to the sound of
water running. I looked around and he was not there he must be in the shower
by the sounds I heard. I got up and tried to make myself  look presentable
before he came out. I heard a door open and I looked around and there he was
standing there with nothing on but a towel around his waist. The sight was
almost to much for me he was more hot in reality than he was in my dreams.

   "Ethan about time you woke up the guys are waiting on us for breakfast. I
will be ready in a minute." Nick Said.

   I needed to get cleaned up but Nick insisted I looked just fine and it
could wait till after breakfast. I was already late for my first class so I
wasn't going to worry. I wanted to enjoy every second with Nick that I could
before I had to go back to my own private hell. We went to  Brian's room and
everyone was there and all poking fun at the two sleepyheads that had made
them all faint from hunger. We all filled out plates and had a fun time
talking and cracking jokes. Finally I had to pull myself away before I
couldn't bear to leave. Nick wanted me to stay until they left and so did
everyone else. They all hammered on me till I relented. I had already blown
off most of my classes for the day and I didn't have to go to work that
night. The next few hours just flew by with their preparations to leave and
before long all their bags were being loaded into the vans and we were on
our way to the airport. one of their bodyguards was following us in my car.
Nick was putting up a fuss about leaving now that we had become friends he
didn't want to leave Brian was trying to tell him that I had school and work
and they had a tour to finish so there was no way. He finally gave in and
just sat there with that cute pouty face I had really fallen for after I
promised  that I would call him on his cellular phone and write to tell him
how I was. I gave him my cellular number also so he could call if he needed
a friend to talk to. We arrived at the airport under heavy security and a
hundred hugs and handshakes later they were boarding the plane. Nick was the
last to leave. He gave me a bonecrushing and lingering hug I finally had to
break his embrace before he missed his flight.

     "I just don't want to leave now !!!" Nicky wined

    "Nick you have to get on that plane before you miss it I don't want you
to leave either but you have a tour to finish. We will talk all the time we
made that promise remember?" I said trying to hide the pain I was in myself.
   " I remember." Nicky said with his patented pout.

    Finally but slowly he started walking away and disappeared into the
gate. I almost broke down then and there but I kept my cool I didn't want to
breakdown in front of him. As he walked away I almost thought I saw tears in
his eyes but I couldn't be sure. I convinced myself that I was seeing things
and that my overworked emotions were making me see things that aren't there.
I slowly walked to my car and I almost made it but not quite the tears
started coming like a flood from a damn that had burst. Now I had really
done it I had a crush on Nicky before we met now I had to suffer the torment
of having fallen madly and totally in love with him. How was I going to bear
the pain of never seeing my true love again. How was I going to go back to
my miserable lonely life. On the road home I just barely held back the tears
so I was able to drive. I was so distraught that I had fleeting thoughts of
driving into a bridge abutment. In the end I had to kill those thoughts my
mom needed me and I couldn't leave her like that. I got back to my apartment
around seven o'clock and I went straight to my room. Luckily my roommates
were out because I was in no shape to face anybody all I wanted to do is
lock myself in my room and hide from everyone. I just stared at the wall for
seeming hours the tears flowing in a steady stream down my face. I must have
dozed off because I was startled awake by my cell phone ringing. I almost
didn't answer but I thought it might be my mom so I picked it up
reluctantly.

   " Hello?"

    "Hey Ethan its Nick!!"

    "Hi Nick how are you? Where are you right now?"

    "We are in Las Vegas we just got off the plane. I had to call you as
soon as we got off  I miss you already. We were just getting to know each
other." Nicky said with a quake in his voice.
    "I know I miss you too but we have such different lives you are
traveling all over the country on tour and I am stuck here in school." I
said trying to be strong.
   " I want you to come on tour with us." Nick said.

   I was really fighting to keep control now. " I do to!! That would be so
cool but I have to finish school so I can get out of here for good
eventually. I don't want to be stuck here the rest of my life."

   "Well let me talk to Brian I think you can do something with the band so
you can tour and stay with us."

   "What can I do I have no talent." I said my voice cracking with emotion.

    "Well you are a computer whiz aren't you?"

     "Yea."

    " Well everything is run be computers and you could take care of them
for us."

      "That would be cool but what about school and my job?"

      "We can deal with that when the time comes ."

       "It sounds awesome but I don't know." but for the first time I was
beginning to see a glimmer of hope.

     " Just let me talk to Brian and we can talk more about it later. It is
just so good to hear your voice I can't get over how much I miss you." Nicky
said his voice quaking with emotion once again.

     "Same here Nick I miss you a lot too."

      "Well I better get going  Brian is having a fit and he is about ready
to pick me up and carry me to the limo."

     " OK Nick bye !! And say hi to the guys for me!!"

     "OK Ethan bye I miss you!!"

    " I miss you too !!! Bye !!"

    After we hung up I felt better and worse at the same time. I was so
happy he cared enough to call me so soon and he seemed to genuinely miss me.
However I was even sadder that we were so far apart. I was thinking a mile a
minute how could I pick up and leave everything. NA he won't be able to talk
Brian into letting me tag along let along become part of the group even
though it was on the technical end. I had to stop this I was going to make
myself crazy. I just went back to bed and fell asleep with thoughts of Nicky
on my mind. The next morning I was awoke with the general clatter of my
roommates getting ready for school. I was just going to stay in bed till
they left because I still wasn't in the mood to face anyone. I figured I
would cut classes one more day and try to get a grip on my emotions. I had
just turned over when my door burst open and in walks Danny one of my
roommates.

    "Hey Ethan get your ass out of bed you have a class in an hour!!"

    " I `m not going to class I don't feel well." as I buried my head under
the covers.
    "Sure I wouldn't feel well either if I had just got off a two day binge
but that's no excuse get up!!!" Danny said with a bit of sarcasm .

   "Just get out I'm sick!!!!!  LEAVE  ME ALONE !!!!!!!" I shouted.

   "OK whatever but don't come crying to me when you are flunking out!!!"

    He left and slammed the door behind him and I just rolled over and tried
to stop from crying again. I was feeling more lonely than ever . I felt
really shitty for screaming at Danny that was he was one of my best friends
and really did care what happened to me. I stayed in bed till noon then I
got up and fired up my playstation and tried to immerse myself in Resident
Evil but I couldn't concentrate on the game my thoughts kept wandering to
the fun I had playing with Nicky. I stuck to the game for a while but I
couldn't concentrate. I put everything away went to the kitchen and filled
my travel mug with coffee. I figured I may as well go for a walk and try to
clear my head. I walked for what seemed like hours. I just walked around
aimlessly trying to figure out a way out of my misery. I was startled out of
my dreamlike state by the sound of my phone ringing.
