AN: This story is set late 2009 after the Walkers left, when Liam and Nicole were together and Nicole was doing her HSC the first time.
First person from Nicoles POV.
I was finally in a good place again. After the months of angst and turmoil I was content; maybe even happy. Liam was sitting in his favourite chair, strumming his guitar, stopping every now and then to scribble something down. He was wearing his old jeans and a checked shirt, like always. That he was writing again I hoped was a sign that I was helping him as much as he was helping me.
This was our one-night-a-week together, when my exams were over in a few weeks time we could be together as much as we liked. I looked forward to these nights; spending time with Liam was the best part of my day.
He looked up and gave me a knowing smile, shit, how embarrassing that he caught me looking at him like that.
"What are you thinking?" he asked teasingly, setting the guitar down and standing up. "Oh nothing" I shrugged, trying to play it down, "just wondering if this new song will ever be finished?" See, I can tease too. "It's taking forever."
"I need inspiration," he said in a serious voice and then added with a sideways glance at me "and there's none here."
"Oh really, well maybe I better go." I got up to pretend to leave and he tackled me back onto the couch, kissing me while I tried not to laugh. "Maybe we can do something inspiring?" I asked.
"Yeah," he agreed, kissing me again.

I woke in his bed the following morning; Liam was still asleep beside me. No wonder, I thought. A tiny smile curled the corner of his mouth and I couldn't resist kissing it. He stirred slightly and I kissed him harder. He woke up and kissed me back, and then he pushed me back and lay on top of me. I struggled and laughed and he laughed too.

We got breakfast at the diner, it was actually pretty quite for this time of the morning. We held hands across the table and both tried not to laugh when Colleen rolled her eyes. Most people in town didn't approve of Liam but then again a lot of them didn't approve of me either so I couldn't really care less what they thought. I didn't have and exam today so I planned to spend the morning with Liam and the afternoon studying. Maybe we'd go to the beach.
AN: I can't believe there are no other Sid/Nicole fics. Please let me know what you think.
