Title: Don't Speak Summary: Angsty song fic. My take on It's a Val Wonderful Life. Slightly AU. Rating: PG Flavor: Angst/Romance A/N: This is my second song fic, but this one is more Nikki centered rather than Johnny centered. I don't deal with the whole episode, just the part where Johnny tells Nikki he's leaving V.I.P for a while. Disclaimer: SPE, Pam, J.F Lawton own all. No Doubt owns the song. S/U: Don't Speak by No Doubt

Prolouge: Since Vals' apparent 'death', V.I.P has been struggling to keep clients or for that matter getting clients. Everyone is feeling the strain of not having Val there. For some the only viable solution is to leave, and to hope that things will work themselves out Eventually.

Cut to V.I.P hallway

Johnny is trying to explain to Nikki why he has to leave V.I.P. But Nikki won't hear it, she's had enough of his explanations and tired of hearing his reasons.

Nikki- You know what, why don't YOU listen to ME for a while.She says exasperated..

Cue intro to No Doubt Don't Speak

Cue end of No Doubt Don't Speak

Nikki- So why don't you just go and leave then! See if I care! She says with tears running down her face.. Her eyes filled with an immense hurt and anger..

Johnny was taken aback by this rare display of emotion. He had never seen her like this before, and it hurt him to see her in such a fragile emotional state..- Nikki He said softly.Nikki I know you're hurt and it hurts me too that I have to go. But just know that.that..I would never leave you forever.. Because you're my friend and I care about you.okay? He moved a little closer to her and gently begins to wipe the tears from her eyes.. Then he put his arms around her, pulls her close, and starts to kiss her gently, then her arms went around him, and the kiss began to deepen and become more passionate. So there they were two hearts intertwined forever..



A/N: I hope you all liked it. Even if it was overly emotional very very sappy (
