Authors Note: Hey Guys, this is my first 6teen story, but definatly not my first story ever written. I figured to make a Jude x Nikki story since those two are my favorite characters in the whole show. I will continue this if I get enough reviews that make me want to continue. So please write me a review and tell me what you think to encourage me to keep writing this story. Enjoy!!

Chapter One : I remember

Prolouge

The rain was pounding down on the Earth hardly last night, like sharp spheres piercing through the core of my very heart. My doorbell sounded like a wind chime through-out my house as my father shouted from down stairs.
"Nikki, one of your friends are here to see you. Make if fast, we shall be leaving soon." I moped towards the staircase, slowly stepping on each memorable step making light clunks upon the floor. We were moving and I couldn't bare to tell my friends, for I would miss them to much. I couldn't bare for them to see me cry, the strong, sarcastic Nikki crying...I did not want to leave like that. I reached the door way as the dark gloomy skied showed view, the rain sounding heavier with each step. On my front patio stood a soaked Jude, hands on his knees breathing heavily in and out. He looked at me with huge, wet, puppy dog eyes.

"Its not true, is it Nikki?" He sighed, tugging on his hat that he always wore. I wiped a strand of purple hair from out of my eyes, trying to focus on him.

"What are you talking about Jude? Would you like to come in? Its raining like hell out here." I took a step to the right to grant him access into my house but he just stared at me, speechless.

"No-- Nikki! I asked you a question. Is. It. True?" He emphasized as I continued to play dumb, looking everywhere else but his eyes. His eyes seemed to send me on a long horrid guilt trip. "Are you moving Nikki?" Suddenly the moving van veered into my driveway waving to me, I could not lie now. "Why didn't you tell me, us?" I tapped my foot nervously, biting at my lower lip fridgidly.

"Look, Jude..." I looked into his eyes, trying to hold in the watery tears about to storm out of my eyes. "I have to move my dad got this really big important business job that he can't refuse. I will still keep in touch with you guys and--"

"Nikki! You can't go! What will happen to our group?" He sighed staring at his sneakers.

"You will all still be together and I bet it would be more fun without me anyway, you know no more sarcastic---" He cut me off again staring at me intensely.
"You seriously think it would be better without YOU?" He grabbed my arm staring dead at me. "It wouldn't be better with out you! Not at all!" The rain began to pour even more, as if God took a heavy bucket full of water and poured it on down. Right on my house. My father came behind me before I could respond to Jude's question.
"Come now, Nikki. We have to head up to the new house, farther up North." I sighed as Jude let go of me, his expression seemed to widen in horror at the words 'more up North.' My dad pulled me towards the car as Jude followed behind, dumbstruck. The black chevy car stood there awaiting us, to drive a long distance away from what I always thought of as home. My dad walked around the side of the car, putting the key in the ignition. I turned around towards Jude before opening the car door. I did something I did not do often, I reached out, giving a hug to Jude. A signifgance of good-bye.

"Don't leave.." He muttered lowly as I sighed against his shoulder, pushing away from his embrace.
"Sorry," I managed to muffle holding in my tears. "I need to go now, tell everyone Ill miss them." Jude opened the car door for me as I stepped a foot inside, plopping down on the vinyl seat. I looked up at him one last time when the unexpected happened. He bended down towards my face, softly placing his lips against mine. My dad made a coughing sound as Jude pulled away from my lips.

"Bye dude." He sighed again shutting the door that edged a forced wall between us. My heart was pounding fiercly against my chest as my car began to move. I smudged my face on the glass window staring out at Jude. I did not want to leave, my heart felt connected to Jude now, more than it ever had been. Sure, I had a small crush on him before but now that my feelings were bounced back at me by him, it was a whole new level of profound love. I felt the tears pour out sourly as I placed my hands of my eyes. Jude, I will find a way back to you. I swear it.

Jude's P.O.V

I skated through the mall as fast as I could, sipping on a cola along the way. I could see my friends come into view, Wyatt, Jen, Caitlin, and Jonesy sitting and talking like usual beside that huge lemon.

"Whats up dudes?" I spoke loudly jumping off my skateboard, accidently letting it continue rolling, hitting Caitlin in the leg.
"OW! I have a DATE tonight JUDE! I don't need any brusies on my leg!" She cried as I picked my skateboard up lazily.
"Sorry.." I landed on a black chair that was open next to Wyatt as Jonesy looked deadly at his black cellphone.

"I can't believe Nikki's gone." He broke the silence as Jen pushed her orangey hair over her shoulder.

"Yeah, I know. It feels kind of dead without all the sarcastic commentry." She added as Caitlin took her lemon hat off, setting it aside on the counter.
"Its been a three months now Jonesy, you should be over her by now." She talked in a high pitch giggle. "But I do miss her."

"He should get over her anyway, Jude kissed her!" Wyatt stuck up a hand for a high-five, I lightly returned it. Feeling a bit guilty that I had done that, knowing Jonesy had liked her.

"Yeah, but shes, I don't know." He stood up frustrated. "She doesn't even call us much."

"I know! Its like we are dead or something!" Caitlin chimed in.

"Maybe shes busy, you know adjusting to new lifestyle?" Jen counteracted.

"You know what we should do? We should go up and visit her sometime." Wyatt replied as everyone stared at him dully. None of us had our drivers liscense yet so how would we get up there? If I had the money to take the train I would have by now. I even thought about skateboarding the whole way up there, but thats just crazy man. Caitlin seemed to read my thoughts as she hopped over the counter to join us at the table.

"Well, I can ask my new boyfriend to drive us! Hes nineteen!" She squeeled.
"Isn't that a bit too old?" Jen commented as Caitlin rolled her eyes.

"Live a little Jen!" She responded as customers began to line up. She spun on her heal as people began to demand their drinks. "Oh, sorry!"

"I guess then its settled. If Caitlin is able to get her new boo to drive us up there then we can see Nikki." Wyatt assumed, crossing his arms as Jonesy looked a bit hopeful.

"That would be sweet." Jonsey replied looking at me for a split second. "If this works out Jude, Im not just going to sit back and let you get to her lips again. Against you and me, bro." I nodded my head feeling a bit akward, I didn't want to fight with Jonsey for Nikki. But, I just could not let her go. I took my skateboard and skated off into the mall, I needed some time to think, with this new information in my head. Even though three months has passed and I heard from Nikki only twice, my heart still felt like it was with her. I still felt the impulse to just kiss her again. I wanted to see her, to tell her I love her. But now that Jonsey is going to be compeiting with me, I don't know what to expect...or even if Nikki has someone else already...

Nikki's P.O.V

I can't believe I have to wear these skanky uniforms to high school! I threw my uniform off as I landed on my bed lifelessly. School sucks. A tap then began to rapidly slam on my door as there stood Ricky. My new friend from the new school year. He had red dyed hair, with snake bites in his lower lip, a nose stud, and the most green lily pad eyes I had ever seen. Sometimes just looking at him my heart would take off as if it was in a Nascar race. When my heart did this, it began to be aware of itself and die out, making my stomach churn as if I needed to puke. It made me feel guilty because in my heart was indeed Jude. I haven't called any of my friends much because I did not want them to be all sad everyday since I wasn't there. I wanted them to move on, especially Jude. He did deserve alot better than me. Ricky walked into my dark purple room sitting at the edge of my bed.

"How do you like it here at Kenesway so far?"

"Its alright, a bit too skanky." I muffled through my bed, pointing at the skank of a uniform they had me wear. He let a laugh out as I rolled onto my back, staring at the ceiling.

"What are you doing tonight?" I looked at him from my side vision and turned my gaze back at the ceiling.

"This. Isn't it fun?" He laughed again at my witty comment.

"Your so sarcastic." He smiled, showing off his pearly white teeth. I stared at him for a moment, then again staring at the ceiling.

"Is that a problem?"
"No, actually I like it." He rolled ontop of me staring into my purple eyes. I pushed him off of me staring at him.

"What are you DOING?" My mind was in a cloud, shuddering about what was going through his head.

"Oh, sorry Nikki..." He solemly replied pushing his bright red hair back.

"Maybe you should leave!" I remarked opening my bedroom door and pointing out. His eyes drooped downward as a frown formed on his face. "LOOK Im not MAD at you, alright? I just need some time to think!" He nodded slowly as he dragged on towards the door.

"Sorry." Me mouthed again before I closed the door on him. "I wasn't thinking." The door slammed shut with a click as I flopped back on my bed in a tired heap. Oh, what to do Jude? If only I could see you again. I got up from my humble heap and extended an arm from underneath my purple bed revealing a photo album from back at my old home. Pictures of Jen, Caitlin, and I at the movies huddled together. A picture of Jonsey and I sitting at the table by The Squeeze. Wyatt and I eating some tacos and my personal favorite....Me and Jude...he has his arm around me, with his skateboard in his other hand. There I stood with a smile plastered on my face, if only I could go back to those times...Now there was a new guy in my life...Ricky. He seems to be making it clear that he likes me, but do I like him back? My head is spinning with questions, with images of Jude. What am I to do?
