A/N- Heyyyyy! How are you? Sorry for the cliffhanger!
Nicole's POV
I went to the store on the way home and picked up items to make brownies. I love baking. It helps me to be more comfortable around food.
When I got home I was so excited I ate half of the chicken! I got right to work after that. I poured the batter into a glass dish and put that in the oven. When it was done, it turned out perfectly. I cut them into little even squares and put a lid on top. I fixed my clothes and headed across the hall. I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. A few seconds later I heard footsteps coming to the door.
I put on a smile and when the door opened, I was so shocked I dropped the dish leaving the brownies on the ground in a pile of glass.
"Miss. Swan?" No. It couldn't really be her. Her and Henry were gone.
"Nicole. What are you doing here?" She asks.
"I moved here. But your here?" I say in disbelief.
"Yeah. Why don't you come in." She says moving out of the doorway. I walk in and look at the two from the pawn shop. I turn see... Henry.
Henry's POV
Nicole walked in and saw me and I immediately stood up.
"You're supposed to be dead." Nicole says.
"What?" I ask shocked.
"Three months, Henry. THREE MONTHS! What was I supposed to think!" She yells. How am I going to explain this.
"I know but..." I start.
"NO YOU DON'T. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH! THERE ARE MISSING POSTERS IN THE NEW YORK SUBWAY! I HAD TO GO TO TWO THERAPISTS AND THAT ALL COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY ONE STUPID PHONE CALL!" Wow. I really didn't know.
"I should have called. I know that. But I didn't. I am sorry for whatever you had been through. But I can make it up to you, please." She was debating in her mind whether or not to forgive me. She nods and walks out the door. As I run after her I hear Mary Margret whisper,
"Are they together?"
"I've given up asking." Emma replies.
I catch up to Nicole and say,
"Hey you just said we haven't seen each other in three months, now you're leaving?"
"I just don't know what to think right now. You were gone. A lot has happened and you weren't there for it. I just need some time." Nicole says.
"Three months wasn't enough?" I joke.
"I thought you were dead," Nicole says emotionlessly. "I'll call you tomorrow."
And with that she went into her apartment and left me in the hall.
Nicole's POV
He was alive. I run to my little room and slam the door so loudly I know Henry heard it. I lean against the door and fall to the ground crying.
He was alive. And he didn't call to tell anyone where he was.
He was alive. He left me to deal with the return of my mother and my depression.
He was alive. I have anorexia because he didn't call.
He was alive.
There was no denying that. Or I'm in the Matrix. But how would I know, I had never seen the Matrix.
I look at the time and wonder if Archie is still at his office. He isn't. He closes at 8:00 it was 8:30.
My dad walks into the room.
"Hey are you ok?" He asks concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine," I lie.
"Well there is some cake on counter if you want some."
"No, I'm not hungry."(A/N- Be worried!)
"Ok well try to go to sleep early. You start school tomorrow."
"I know." I say.
He leaves the room and lets me be alone with my thoughts.
A/N- hehehe. Well there you go. I'll TRY to post friday.
