Chapter 2: We belong together

Jude's P.O.V

Three days had passed from our last discussion about Nikki, my world even seems to be more dead now. People see me as a "skateboard punk" who doesn't seem to have a mind of his own, or even one at all for that matter. Although, I am very deep minded when it comes down to it. If people had ever took the chance to reach deep into my soul, they would find out who I really am. Just as Nikki had done, which made me slowly fall in love with her. That purple shiny hair of hers, those contridicting eyes, her beautiful smile that dazzled me whenever she would laugh, and the very soul in this world that saw right through my "skateboard punk" exterior, getting to know the real me. I would travel to the depths of hell for her, just to be with her. To hold her once again, where her slender body fit perfectly against mine like a puzzle piece. She was a missing piece, that needed to be reconnected back to my heart and soul again. Not wanting to go to the mall, our usual hangout, I headed towards the skate park at the end of town. Skating off my emotions the best that I could. How could this all be done when that very girl still taunts my mind? My cellphone sang from my baggy jean pants, as the song Failing Flailing by Streetlight Manifesto greeted me with Caitlins number. I clumsly clicked the phone answer letting out a deep sigh.

"Sup?"

"Jude?" Her high-pitched voice chimed
"Well, who else would this be this is my phone, man." She giggled happily.

"I got some news for you! My new boyfriend, Mikey if he would drive us up to Nikki's. He said he would be glad to since his sister lives up there!" She paused to throw in a fit of laughter. "While we are visiting Nikki, he will be with his sister! How great is that!" I grew speechless, there was actually a chance that I would see Nikki again? She laughed at the sound of my silence.

"When are we-" She cut me off with the answer before I even finished my question.

"Saturday. Todays Thursday, so you can wait three days can't you Jude?" She teased. "Oh! Mikey is calling, talk to ya later!" The line went dead as I stuffed my black cellphone back into my baggy jean pocket. My pace picked up a bit as I zoomed through-out the sidewalk, almost crashing into...JEN?! I fell to the floor with her underneath me, staring up at me angerily.
"JUDE GET OFF ME!" She screeched as I quickly got up, collecting my skateboard in hand.
"Sorry dude, I was in a daze."

"About Nikki?" She sighed putting her orange hair back in place to rest upon her shoulders.

"I guess." Was all I had to say as she tapped her foot fiercly against the pavement. Her cheeks reddened slightly, her eyes crystal-like. "Woah, I didn't hurt you when I crashed into ya did I?" She shook her head as she ran off past me.

"Its nothing, Jude. Just forget about it." Jen squeeled as she disappeared out of sight. Did I do something? Girls, they are so complex. One species I definatly do not understand.

Nikki's P.O.V

The snow began to fall silently to the ground, melting from the slightest touch of the pavement. I had my purple stringy hair pulled back into a small high ponytail, standing infront of my window with black and dark pink reindeer pajamas. Yes, I know. I would never wear something like this. My dad bought it for me and said since holidays are coming up soon I should wear them. So I did. They are pretty comfortable though, ugh! I sound like Caitlin. I took my index finger and began doodling on the foggy glass. I drew a heart with a 'J' in the center, seeing how stupid I was acting I quickly erased the doodle away. I could not think about Jude, I had a boyfriend now. Ever since that day where Ricky had rolled ontop of me, staring down at me with placid eyes, clearly showing that he had such amorous feelings for me, I had alot to think about. First I thought of Jude. The boy that meant ever so much to me. The way his blonde hair always stayed in its place, the way his smile glistened when he would make such funny jokes, and the way I saw right through him, seeing the deep, sensible guy he really is. He made me love him. No, I was IN LOVE with him. But, Jude deserved a whole let better than I. I lived so far away and I didn't want him to linger over me in a long distance relationship. So, with the small amount of phone calls I hoped he would give up on me and reach out for someone else. In order to let him go I had to force myself to love Ricky. I did not want to be hung up over Jude to the point where I would not let him move on with his life. It was simply not right. I turned away from the window leaning my back up against the wall. When I let a blood-curtling scream spring out from my throat.

"RICKY!" I clasped a hand to my chest, letting my breathing pace its way back to normal. "YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO KNOCK AND MY DAD NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO TELL ME WHEN PEOPLE COME OVER!"

"Sorry, pumpkin!" He shouted from downstairs, I rolled my eyes as Ricky stared at me.
"You look pretty damn good." He remarked, a smile on his face as he propped himself up on the wall with his elbow right next to me.

"Oh sure, me in pajamas with little pink reindeer on them HOW SEXY!" I sarcasticly sprung back he let a laugh escape his pink lips.

"Anything looks sexy on you." I rolled my eyes again, he sort of sounded like my best friend Jonsey. Without warning, he suddenly pulled me into his chest by my hips. He stared down a me through his red hair, smiling tenderly. "Lets call this an early Christmas present." He mused as his face inched closer to mine, when the goal was reached our lips came into contact, his warm, slender lips fitting to mine. Images of Jude shot through my mind as I tried to push it to the back of my head. No, I want this. I want Ricky. Not Jude. I tried so hard to convince myself this that my stomach ached. He pulled away from me and stared down into my violet eyes. "Nikki, something wrong? You look sick! Did I move too fast?!" He panicly questioned. I shook my head as I stepped away from him a bit staring out my window.

"No, just hoping that the snow will stick."

"I hope you will stick with me." He responded as he grabbed my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine like shoe laces.

"I hope you will stop being cheesy."

"Oh, hush you know you like it." I looked up at the ceiling as my stomach began to twist and churn in positions I never though possible.

"I guess. Although I could do alot better..." I smirked, thinking of Jude.

"Oh! I get it! !" He held me closer as he stared out at the white cotton swiftly falling. "I hope this moment will last forever."
"Then get a Kodak camera." I chuckled as my stomach seemed to be punching me out with every word I said.

"Thats a good idea..." He smiled. "But I guess my camera phone will do, SMILE!" A flash from his phone shot out as my eyes blinked.

"Ow...." He began to laugh histericly at the photo he had taken. My face was all scrunched in as if I was scrutinizing someone. My lips jutted out as if I had the sourest of all candies in my mouth.

"I'm keeping that one."
"Not until I get my hands on it!" I beamed reaching for his phone. His face bent down to mine again, pecking me on the lips.

"Not as long as Im around!" I sighed at his words, Jude. I do love you. I miss you. If only this was you with me now. My stomach would have the butterfly effect, not the 'Im going to kill you' effect.

Jude's P.O.V

Snow began to trickle down on my face as I stared up at the gray gloomy sky that carried it. Guess I can't ride my skateboard now, bummer. I picked my skateboard up and cradled it in my arms. My mind wandered to Nikki yet again, just as it had been doing all day.

"Hey Jude." Nikki elbowed me in the arm as we sat ontop of the castle slide at the park. "Do you like the snow."

"Hmm, I don't know. It kind of seperates me from my board you know?" I sighed petting my skateboard, she rolled her eyes at me then gave a little chuckle.

"I love the snow, it means the new year will be coming up." She kicked her legs off the edge of the slide, jumping down onto the wet foamy ground that they always had around the slides in the park.

"Why do you look forward to a new year? It will just be the same as this year." I shrugged at her as she narrowed her eyes at me as if the answer was so obvious.

"Well we grow and we learn every year don't we? Then theres always new risks to take, new moves to make, new loves at stake." She talked smugly as I hopped down off the slide to stand beside her. "You never know which of the three you will really get." Her face was so close to mine my heart was racing. "Like new loves..." Her eyes closed and came toward me. My stomach churned with each inch closer her face has gotten. She then pulled away and laughed. "Oh, you wish man!" She winked and skipped away. Hell yes, I did.

Snow was Nikki's favorite and one of the best memories I had ever had with her. My phone wailed off again, I looked at the I.D. number, Caitlin yet again.

"Jude!" She sang politely.
"Yeah, whats up Caitlin?"

"Can you get over to Wyatt's house? We are going to talk about our little trip idea to Nikkis!" Nikki..

"Sure." I shut my phone so fast it felt like I got whiplash. Not caring that the ground was wet, I threw my skateboard on the ground and skated off West in the direction of Wyatt's home. With ever push off the skateboard I made, it made me closer and closer to getting my purple haired angel that I have come to love. I could not wait to see her face again, to hear her smooth textured voice, to listen to her witty yet funny comments once again. I love her, more than I love my skateboard. Now thats a whole hell of alot. My mind began to slip off into its fantasy world again as I reached Wyatt's house...

"Its funny how wise you really are Jude." Nikki smiled as we hung out at my house playing Halo 2 in my room. She ran me over with the huge tank car and I died.
"Oh, thats a total cheat! And why do you say that? Cause I seem so dumb, man?" I sighed deeply as she pumped her fist in the air, a sign of victory.

"No. I can really relate to you. I think you are the closest friend I have out of the group. I always feel so comfortable around you, you know what I mean?"

"Yeah, cause I feel comfortable around you too. Even though your a girl." I laughed as she slapped the back of my head. "Ouch."

"Idiot." She smiled as she leaned her head against my shoulder, fitting together perfectly. I hesitated slighty, then laied my head on the top of hers. We sat like that for an hour, staring at my television and playing Halo. Every gut inside of my body screemed for me to kiss her, but I was too nervous and did not do it. When she left, I felt regretful that I haven't. But my emotions for Nikki only grew stronger...

"Where is he going?" I heard a girly voice shout.
"Jude! Yo! My house is right here!" I shook my head and woke up out of my fantasy world as I side glanced my friends who were falling behind me. I noticed I was still skateboarding forward. Oh, oops. I turned around on the skateboard and headed for Wyatts house again.
"Sorry, dudes. My head has kind of been in lala land." They all shook their heads. I saw Jen stand there staring at me palely as she followed Wyatt into the house along with the others. I followed suit, scooping my skateboard up in my hands when a loud honking went off from behind me. I jumped a bit as Caitlin pushed me out of the way squeeling.

"Mikey!" She sang as a yellow hummer parked in Wyatt's driveway. Eck, how could any dude drive a yellow hummer? I looked at the others faces as they stared at the huge yellow bee-hive car too. I guess they thought the same thing, but I wasn't going to say anything to this dude because I was just greatful that he was going to be the cause that will hook me and Nikki back together again. A man stepped out of his car, tall and slender. Of course you can tell he was older then us. His hair was a shaggy black resting on the top of his tan head. He wore a yellow muscle shirt and baggy jean pants. My eyebrow rose, I guess he really likes the color yellow. Caitlin jumped up and down happily, tugging on his arm as she dragged him towards us.

"This is Mikey, my boyfriend who is going to escort us to Nikki's!" She gleamed, her eyes lit up like a billion christmas lights.

"Hey." Everyone spoke in unison as we walked inside Wyatts house, taking a seat on his jean sofas that was arched against the wall in his living room.
"So how is this going about, are we going to tell Nikki?" Jonsey asked as he crossed his legs out on the couch comfortably.

"Nope, its going to be a S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E!" Caitlin emphasized. "I'm sure she will be SOOO happy to see us!" She clapped her hands together merrily. Jen rolled her eyes as she twirled an orange curl around her thumb, biting on her lower lip slightly.

"It should only take us 2 hours and a half to get there." Mikey replied, brushing back his jet black hair with his thin fingers.

"Mhmmm..." Wyatt replied, uncomfortable because of a new person. He rested quietly against the edge of his couch. I sat on the floor, pondering what they were up too.

"So are we telling her father? So that he can get Nikki out of the house?" Jen suggested as Caitlin began chewing on her tounge in thought.

"Thats a great idea! Hehee!" She grabbed her pink cellphone from her denim skirt pocket, she must be crazy to wear a skirt when its like 50 degrees outside. She dialed a number and waited eagerly.

"Hello? Yes. We are planning to visit Nikki this Saturday. Yeah, we want to surprise her so can you get her to do something that day? Noon-ish. Yes. Okay! Thankyou! Bye!" She closed her phone and nodded. "Everythings set!" A smile stretched across my face as everyone stared at me.
"We can tell your happy there Jude."

"You think?"
