When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Nick was genuinely shocked when he learned about Summer’s illness. It was apparent that Cameron did not fill him in on the details.

He fell into silence for a while before he looked at me again. “How is Summer? Is she okay?”

“She did a bone marrow and kidney transplant. She’s feeling better now but they’re still putting her under a five-year observation. If there is no sign of rejection from her body, then she doesn’t need to go through another transplant. But Nick, we’re not talking about Summer now, I want to know what happened between you and Jackson.”

Nick held his hands and tried to control his emotions. “He got a girl pregnant and went back to M Country with the woman,” he said after some time.

Nick sounded apathetic, but I was totally caught off guard by his statement. “What happened? I thought you liked him?”

Nick pursed his lips and looked at me in the eyes. “Do you find me disgusting?”

I shook my head in determination. “I believe all relationships are equal. The reason I asked is that I could see there was something between you and Jackson. I know both of you care for each other a lot. I had no idea what happened between the two of you, but now that I know, I just hope you guys find your happiness. Meeting and parting are part and parcel of life, but I really want to see each of you finding where you belong.”

“I think it’s best we both go our separate ways,” Nick said with his gaze fixed on the ground.
