Took me awhile right? Here it is the first chapter of the SOMETHING MUST BE KEPT A SECRET SEQUEL!

Set after story, before epilogue (epilogue was Forever)

"Nina!" Fabian shouted from the doorway, "I'm here!"

No answer.

"Nines?"

Nothing.

"Nina?" he tried once more.

Still nothing.

He put down the groceries and searched his apartment. Kitchen, obviously empty. Sitting room, empty as well. Bedroom, found her.

Nina was sitting completely still at her on the bed. She was cross-legged with a sheet of paper in front of her. She wasn't blinking and she hadn't even noticed his presence.

"Nina?" Fabian tried.

Nina's head picked up and Fabian could now see her tear stained cheeks. Nina got up and ran to her boyfriend's arms and began to cry again into his shoulder. Fabian rubbed her back and stroked her hair, silently wondering what was wrong.

"Shhh," Fabian soothed her, "It's okay. You're okay."

Nina shook her head on his shoulder.

"Do you want to tell me what's wrong?" Fabian asked.

Nina removed herself from his arms and picked up the letter, handing it to him, "It's the third one."

Now Fabian knew what was wrong. It was the third rejection letter for her book.

Idiot publishers.

"You know what," Fabian said, "I promise you, someone will want to publish your book."

"No, they won't." Nina shook her head, "But what if this means the book isn't meant to be? What if it means we're not-"

"NO!" Fabian shouted running over to Nina, who had walked off toward the couch in the living room, "Don't even say it!"

"But, what if it's true?" Nina asked, yelling now too.

"But, it's not!"

"Fabian, if the book doesn't work out maybe it's a sign." Nina sighed.

"If you even feel you need to say that then you don't love me." Fabian shook his head, "And you never did."

"Fabian, that's not true! I promise!" Nina shouted.

"Nina! Just, just stop. End of conversation!" Fabian yelled. The room fell dead silent.

"I have to finish something up at the… uh, office." Fabian mumbled, "I'll be back later."

And with that, he was gone with the slam of a door.

#$$%^$%^^$%^^^^^^^&*&HI!*&&&!

Fabian sat alone at a bar wondering why Nina would say that. Was she not happy? Did she not love him? Was it because of the purse thing a couple weeks ago?

Maybe he should just go home and sort it out.

He arrived at his door but stopped and listened when he heard Nina speaking, "No, he's gone… NO, don't come he could be back any minute! And no I can't come to you either…. You know I love you… I feel bad for Fabian though… yeah… alright… love you more… bye."

Fabian couldn't believe it. Nina was cheating on him. Again? He couldn't bring himself to open the door. He felt dizzy and fell to the floor hearing something in his arm crack before he passed out.

^&^%%#$%!))*&^^!&~~YU)_*#&#HELLO()*&&*(=0)

"Nina!" Mick pounded on the door after he walked out of his apartment and found Fabian on the ground, "NINA GET YOU ASS OUT HERE NOW!"

"Mick, what do you want? You know we just hung up a few minutes- Oh my god! Fabian!" Nina dropped to her knees at the sight of her boyfriend, seemingly lifeless on the ground, "Oh my god, Fabian don't be dead!"

"Nina, you idiot, he's not dead. He's breathing!" Mick shouted, "I think he passed out."

"Well, help me get him to the hospital." Nina instructed, "Or should we call an ambulance?"

"Nina," Mick scooted his sister aside, "Allow me." Mick picked Fabian up from the ground and threw him over his shoulder in one swift movement.

"Oh lord," Nina mumbled.

"Come on! Get the elevator! And now isn't the time to be afraid of it!" Mick yelled.

20 minutes later they were in a hospital waiting room. Fabian laying his unconscious head on Mick's shoulder while Nina filled out the paperwork.

"Get your git boyfriend off me!" Mick yelled across the waiting room to Nina at the front desk, "He's so annoying!"

"Mick!" Nina whisper-shouted, getting glances from other people, "Relax would you!"

"But he's drooling!" Mick whined.

"Hey, git! Shut up!" some guy across him with a bloody arm shouted.

"You're lucky your injured and this git is on top of me or I swear I'd come right over there and kick your-"

"Mick!" Nina shouted at him.

"Saved by the slag." The guy mumbled with a smirk.

Mick gave him the finger.

Nina sat down next to Fabian and brushed his hair out of his face.

"Baby, you're gonna be okay." Nina whispered to him, "I don't know what happened but you're gonna be okay."

Fabian changed his position and soon had his head on Nina's shoulders.

"Thank god." Mick sighed.

"Hey Fabian," Nina whispered, "I love you."

"Fabian Rutter?" a nurse called, "Or sorry Nina Martin, we have a room for your boyfriend."

"Mick get him."

Soon they were in a room and there was a heart machine and a needle attached to Fabian. Just the sight was making Nina go insane.

"Is he going to be okay?" Nina asked the doctor.

"Yeah, he doesn't seem to have hit his head but he did break his arm." The doctor said.

"Oh my god," Nina mumbled walked over to where her boyfriend laid unconscious in a hospital bed.

"Regardless, he seems to have collapsed from stress of some sort. Do you know anything that would cause that?" the doctor asked.

Nina and Mick exchanged a glance.

"We-we," Nina mumbled, "We kind of got into a bit of an argument."

"Bad?" the doctor asked.

"Oh it's all my fault!" Nina sat on the edge of the bed, "I shouldn't have said what I said! But, how could I think I don't love him! I do! I just the book and everything else and oh my god Fabian wake up!" Nina began shaking Fabian's leg.

"No, no!" The doctor shouted, "Don't do that!"

Nina stopped, "When's he going to wake up?"

"Any time from one minute to a few hours." The doctor said, "I'm going to get a cast for his arm."

The doctor closed the door and Nina burst into tears again. She kneeled close to Fabian's bed and gripped his good arm tight.

"Fabian I'm so sorry!" Nina sobbed, "This is all my fault and if I could reverse it I could you know that! Please wake up, I love you so much." Nina began to kiss Fabian's face, hoping somehow he would kiss back.

&^*^&!&!**!&&!((!&(!(&!*!(!*&!)0!$!%!^!HELLO PEOPLEOF EARTH*&*)))_*&

Fabian groggily awoke to a white room. He glanced at a clock, nine in the morning. He was in a hospital bed and saw Nina asleep in a chair next to his bed, holding onto his hand. He noticed his other hand was wrapped in a cast. There was writing on it and he could just make it out.

You got drool on my shirt you git –Mick

Fabian saw an arrow pointing to that one and in Nina's handwriting it said, sorry with a smiley face.

Then underneath that it said, I love you –Nina.

Then why would she cheat on him?

Suddenly his memory came flooding back to him. The fight, him passing out, Nina telling some other guy she loved him.

"Ugh," he groggily shifted in his bed, sitting up and rubbing his face with the hand Nina was holding. Nina, noticing his hand was removed, immediately woke up.

"Fabian," she beamed and wrapped his arms around him, "I'm so happy you're alright!"

She removed her hands and her smile faded when she saw him glaring at her.

"You're still mad aren't you?" she asked, "About, you know the fight?"

"No," Fabian shrugged, "I got over that. But, do you have something to tell me?"

"Me? No. Why?"

"Damn it Nina!" Fabian yelled, "I thought the lies and the secrets, I thought they were over!"

"They are! What secret would I be keeping?" Nina asked.

"Who is he?" Fabian whispered.

"Who's who?"

"The guy you're cheating on me with." Fabian told her.

"WHAT?" Nina yelled standing from her chair. She repeatedly ran her hands through her hair and paced the room, "I am not cheating on you Fabian! What the hell would make you think that?"

"The guy you were on the phone with!" Fabian shouted as Mick opened the door.

"I brought cookies!" he smiled.

"What guy!"

"You know perfectly well what guy!"

"I guess no one cares about cookies." Mick mumbled.

"No, Fabian I don't. Please enlighten me on who I'm cheating on you with!" Nina yelled.

"Whoa, you're cheating on him?" Mick asked.

"Yup, she is and she told him that she loved him and that she couldn't come by him because I could be home any minute and that he couldn't come to her! And that she feels bad for me-"

"Fabian!" Nina and Mick yelled in realization.

"What?"

"I was speaking to Mick!" Nina yelled.

"If you think I would cheat on Amber-"

"You're cheating on me?" Amber asked walking in.

Everyone groaned and filled Amber in.

"Ohhhhh." Amber sighed.

"Fabian," Nina ran to his bedside, "I would not cheat on you, I swear. And I understand if you're still mad about the other thing and if you want to dump me on my ass I can be out of your apartment by-"

Nina was cut off by Fabian kissing her. Nina placed her hand on the back of his head to deepen the kiss and was sad when he pulled away.

"I love you." He smiled, "And I think it's best if we put the past two days behind us."

"Me too." Nina hugged her boyfriend, "And just know that I'm so so sorry."

"I am too Nina." Fabian sighed, stroking her hair.

!$%!^#*($^*!($&!#*$(!&#!(Y#_*$&$ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL!

Nina and Fabian lay together in bed that night. Nina was cuddled close to his side and his good arm was gently wrapped around her.

"I missed you last night," Nina mumbled, "I couldn't stand that it was all my fault you got hurt."

Fabian kissed the top of her head, "It's alright Nina. Now go to sleep, you seem tired."

Nina nodded and began to doze off.

In the middle of the night, Fabian heard Nina mumble, "Yes Fabian I will marry you," in her sleep.

He had a good idea of what he was going to start looking for tomorrow.

And that's a wrap! Remember, the stories will not go in order. They will be random!
