2 years later
Big time rush has soared, from popular to worldwide stars, Logan and camille moved in with each other, Kendall and lucy have baught an appartment together, Carlos is now living with Sam .James and nikki have split up but stayed extremely close friends, Although they are both different people, there is still something there that haunts them. They both now they're right for each other, but they don't realize its true love yet.
Its like being back at the beginning. Except this time , nikki knew what it was like to be with james. They broke up 2 years ago, and the hardest thing she had to do was watch him once again go through girlfriends how she used to go through alcohol bottles. Her movie had been a big hit, she was living alone and semi content with her life. She lived in the same appartment building as her boys did, getting to see them anytime she wanted. She had put her movie and music career on hold for a bit, focusing her time with photography. James had got her into it when they were together, he told her she had a real talent for it. He even baught her a camera and even opened a small studio space and did some shoots for bands and models. James lives down the hall, and although his current girlfriend Anna, wasn't to thrilled with them being so close, she managed to get along with Nikki all the same.
Nikki stretched as she swung her legs over the bed, a bit wobbly from the party she attended last night. She walked slowly to her bathroom. Fixing her very short hair and smiling before walking to her kitchen. Suddenly she heard little foot steps bounding around the cornor and saw fox. She smiled and picked him giggling.
" Hey sweetie pie! Wheres daddy? Huh? Wheres daddy!" She said letting him loose and james walked around and picked up fox. He smiled to nikki.
" Well hello there, didn't hear you come in till like 5:30 this morning. Someone had a busy night." he said with a wink releasing fox and grabbing a coke from the fridge.
" Ha Ha, not all of us are on a leash." She said with a wink. He frowned.
" Nice Nicole. Besides don't you have any shoots soon?" She hated when he used her full name. She shivered and shook her head.
" No, thank god. But I have serious amounts of editing to do." She whined.
" Shouldn't you get on that?"
" Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend or at the studio? Don't you have an album to produce or something?" He smirked.
"Anna is at work and Gustavo gave us the day off so, I figured id hang with you but since your being bitchey-" She punched him and he gasped grabbing his shoulder. " Evil girl."
" Fine, lemme just get ready." She said tearing off her top and looking for a tank. She grabbed her black one and jean shorts. She applied some makeup and pulled on her aviators and flipflops. She walked out and her and james headed to the boulavard with fox. James seemed nervous, too nervous. She starred at him oddly as he fidgeted with foxs leash. They came to the boarwalk and he paused.
" Okay james, seriously. Why are you so damn jumpy? Its getting me jumpy." Nikki said turning to him as he leaned back against the rail.
" I need your opinion on something..." He said rubbing his neck.
" Okay shoot," She said crossing her arms.
" Well, I really like Ana, shes amazing. And perfect and everything. So I was..."
" James...?"
" I wanna propose to her." He said in one breath, his eyes darted to the ground. Nikkis heart sank, she knew this was coming, she knew this would happen soon, they had been dating for a year now. She was still speechless though. He was asking for her blessing.
" uhm...yeah that sounds great." Nikki said no emotion in her voice. He starred at her, as if searching for some reason to dump ana all together. She turned away.
" Thats it? Just a that sounds great?" But she ignored him and took foxes leash. " Nikki..." She shook her head.
" What do you want me to say james? OH MY GOD! THATS FUCKING FANTASTIC! Fine then thats fantastic for you..." She said walking back to the appartment, all the while james attempting to catch up to her. When she finally reached the elevator she repeatedly hit the up button till the doors opened. She jumped in and he the doors closed. Suddenly she let out a scream that would crack glass. She hopped out of the elevator and too her appartment. Fox bounding beside her as she cursed loudly. She slammed her door shut and walked into her room. She fell face first into a pillow and let out another blast scream. Inhaling she sat up and walked back into the living room. Suddenly james burst through the door starring at her shruedly.
" Cool Nicole, fucking run away In the middle of a conversation why don't you?" He shot leaning over her intently. She looked away. " Nicole Sivini You will cut the crap and explain to me why you ran off!" Nikki looked up to him. Examining him closely, she noticed his small differences. He was taller, had more toned muscle and build, he was coated in a golden tan. His hair was shorter, the sides shaved perfectly. He was wearing a plaid shirt, sleeves rolled up. His eyes became more green and soft, and his voice deepened. He was different, 2 years ago he wasn't as intent and passionate. Thats what killed her. They had broke up and he came out on top with a girlfriend and future. She felt as if in a competion with him, to see who ends up with a happy ending. " Nikki...Nikki? NIKKI! Are you even listening to me?" He questioned harshly. She shivered into reality and he was dangerously close to him.
" I...I...Uhm. I was..." But she was lost for words.
" are you okay?" She loved how he went from pissed straight concerned.
" Im just uhm... I don't know." She said getting up and intertwining her fingers in her hair , entering stressed mode.
" Whats wrong- hey breathe nikki breathe." he said standing up and walking over to her. He gripped her shoulders. " Was it something I said? Was it what I said before?..." She looked into his eyes. He truly wanted an answer from her. As if searching for an approval to marry this girl until Nikki was ready to have him back. She gulped.
" James, ill always be here for you. And if you feel your ready to marry this girl, then go for it. But just think before you do anything. Please..." She said wrapping her small arms around his waist. He held her close and placed a kiss on her head.
" Of course I will. You know me, ive learned my lesson with jumping into things." He said rocking her back and forth. He smelled like hollister. She could feel his pecks and how big they had gotten. His arms tensed around her and she could melt into him. " nikki? What are you doing...?" Nikki jumped and woke up from her thoughts.
"What? Oh nothing I just got dizzy..."
" Do you want to sit?"
" No I uhm... need to...TALK TO LOGAN! Thats it!" James scrucnched his face in confusion but nikki quickly walked out of her appartment and to logans. She knocked on it a couple times before camille answered the door.
" Nikki! Hey!" she said with a smile , but nikki quickly ran in and right to logan. He was sitting on the couch watching tv as camille excused herself to go sit by the appartment complexes pool.
" Hey nik, whats up?" Logan asked. She immediately started to pace.
" Hes gonnna propose." She said walking back and forth. Logan starred at her.
" Whos going to propose?" He added quickly.
" james."
" James is proposing to...ana?"
" Yes."
" Hes going to ask her to marry him."
" Yup."
" so why are you freaking out?"
" HOW ARE YOU NOT FREAKING OUT?"
" Because im not in love with him..." logan said matter of factly. " You have to tell him."
" tell him...Not gonna happen."
" Then why are you asking me?"
"CAUSE YOUR SMART!" Logan sighed and stood up gripping her arms and starring into her eyes.
" so are you. So don't let something happen, that you have control over."
" You didn't see his face." She said softly. She sank into the couch and logan sank in next to her.
" When you love something you have to let it go." He said wrapping his arm around her shoulder. She laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
" I don't want to let him go. Im not ready." She said burrying her face into his neck. He rubbed her back reasurringly.
" Fight for him. Like he fought for you."
" Your right." She said standing up and taking a deep breath. She walked out leaving a clueless logan and headed back to her appartment. James was sitting in the living room watching her tv and playing with fox. He turned to see nikki walk in and he immediately jumped up.
" So... are we... okay?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck again. She sighed and put on a fake smile.
" of course." She said before grabbing her labtop and walking into her room and shutting the door. She heard him close her appartment door and she immediately leaned her back to the wood and slid down, sobbing uncontroablly. She wasn't going to make it. She knew wasn't. Her mother always taught her to grin and bear it. So for the sake of her friendship with the man she loved, she would do just that.
