I HAVE NOBODY
Hello and welcome to the very last chapter of I have nobody! I told you this would be shorter than The Grim Adventures of Crash and Coco! This chapter may not be that long but hopefully it will still be good.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything apart from Nick.
Chapter 6: What is love?...
Me and Nick were in the park sat on the swings talking. We were just gently rocking back and forwards. It was the hottest day of the summer so far. It was difficult to believe that all that had happened, had happened in the space of a week and that it was still near the beginning of the summer holidays. For once, It felt peaceful.
I was still living at the castle with all of the minions who I guess are more like friends to me than minions now. We all get on really, really well. For the first time in my life I feel relaxed and happy. I can't really explain why.
Since the funeral, I have fallen into a routine of waking up, meeting Nick in the village, then coming home and hanging out with Tiny and Dingodile, just like old times. Unfortunately, Ngin couldn't survive without his rubber duck that my dad flushed down the toilet that day so he brought 5 more! He annoys everyone with them, making up little stories and acting them out using the ducks. He acts about 3 years old!
But, generally, my life is good. I never thought I'd say it, but it is. Of course I'm still sad that dad died, who wouldn't be, but I've come to accept that he's gone and have moved on.
So, as I sit on the swing, talking to Nick, laughing and messing around, I realize that I have had a pretty good life, I've just focussed on the bad thing's too much! I may not be popular at school but I have a friend who I know will never leave me. My life at home was never great, but it wasn't like I was abused or anything!
"It's getting late, I better get home" I said.
"I'll walk you back" Nick replied.
When we got to my doorstep and said our goodbye's he was about to walk away when he turned around and ran back to me.
"Nina!" he said "I kinda need your input on something… what does it feel like when your in love with someone?".
I was shocked that he would ask that but I also thought that I know the answer! I could have told him that when you were in love with someone, it felt like they were the only person you needed in your life. I could have said that when you were in love with someone, they could make you smile or even laugh in the saddest places. I could say that you cry when they cry, that you laugh when they laugh and when they're not around, in the back of you're mind you would count down the seconds until you got to see them again. I know this because every moment I spend with him feels like the best moment of my life. I could have told him all that, but if the movies are right, when someone asks you that question, they only want one answer. So this is where I decided to get brave! I simply said "This is what love feels like!" and kissed him straight on the lips. I could tell that he knew I was going to do it. It was probably what he had planned all along! It was a perfect first kiss for both of us. We stayed there for quite a long time. It didn't even feel weird that I was kissing the boy who had been my best friend since I was 8, because all along, I knew I had liked him all along… wait, no. I hadn't liked him all along, I had loved him all along. It seemed a little crazy that I had only just fully realized it!
When we finally came apart, he pulled me into a tight hug and said "I love you, Nina, more than anything".
"I love you too" I said before kissing him again.
Later that night, when I had just gotten into bed, I actually thought to myself: I am very lucky. I guess all that has happened to me has made me appreciate all the little things in life. Not to mention, I now have the most super awesome boyfriend EVER.
As I close my eye's, I think back to the day I was packing my bags at Evil Public School and I was about to come home. I remember how much I was dreading it and how depressed I felt. I feel nothing like that now and I couldn't be happier about it.
Just before I drift off to sleep, one of the last sentences of my dad's letter ran through my mind: 'You will always have people who care about you and the loved ones you have lost will be in you're heart forever'.
I know now that that is the truth.

THE STORY IS FINISHED!!! Sorry this chapter was really short but I couldn't think of anything more to write. There are some thing's I want to say though.
The poll on my page about weather you want to read some of the stories I wrote a while ago said that you did so I am going to write the short comedy (about 3 chapters long) that I have in my head and then post the best one of my old stories.
Also, I know how many people are reading and not reviewing. Just so you know, if you reading and don't have an account it doesn't matter because my anonymous reviews are ALWAYS enabled so please review! I'll be back with another story soon! Bye for now!
