I'm with Kitty on this one. Nicky was a big part of Owen's life and one way or another there will be closure between them. Although Owen fears that Nicky abandoned him, I believe he holds out hope that Nicky will still be friends with him. I believe Owen wants to let Nicky know "Hey, I'm gay, I'm happy, and I have an awesome boyfriend. Knowing all that, if you can accept me as I am, do you want to still be friends?" I believe Owen hopes that they can still be friends but knows it's possible that they won't. He won't know though until he comes clean with Nicky and lays everything out on the table (similar to what happened between Owen and Adam).
Here's a question...Do you think that Anna was with Nicky at the drive-in when Owen ran into Nicky? Or do you think that Nicky had already dumped Anna for what she did to Owen?
My money is on Nicky being an honerable guy and will still want to be friends with Owen.
