AN: just a short one! This is where I pick up Nikki's actual storyline from waterloo road read+review x
The years passed, Nikki and Jenny Lived their lives separate from each other, although they thought of each other often whilst making their own life plans.
Jenny was all set to become a real professional football player; she signed the contract and everything! Finally living her dream. However a terrible fall on the pitch left her with a horribly broken leg, they told her she was lucky to be able to walk on it at all but she was unable to play at the standard she had before, which devastated her. So true to her character she picked herself up and took herself off to university to study sports science. She eventually graduated and decided to go into teaching. She'd always fancied herself being the one who blew the whistle.
On the other hand Nikki, almost as a kind of rebellion, joined the army. Of course she passed all her training, she was fit enough, she could take orders but although she was now able to be honest about herself and her sexuality, she never felt happy. Nevertheless she managed to do her job, and do it well. She managed to move up through the ranks and despite herself made title of 'Captain Boston' or as some of her troops liked to call her 'The Boston Bruiser'. Honestly she began to enjoy her job, it took her all over the world although she was eventually posted back to the frontline in Afghanistan where she spent her last few months as a Captain. One day whilst on patrol she was caught under heavy fire and sustained several bullet wounds to her back and left shoulder. Although her recovery was long, painful and frustrating, she too, was lucky to walk again. So she took herself off to university, English, she thought would be a good degree, so many transferable skills. After her graduation she finally decided that after everything she had been through she could pass on some of her life lessons, so she decided to go into teaching…
