Hi guys! This is Nyugurl2000 and I'm finally posting one of my very own
fanfics please read and review my story because if you don't like it I won't
write anymore. I'm out. 1 love.
I've Started a new New York Undercover its called NYU Up-Close and Personal.
Instead of having more cop stuff than personal stuff my stories are mostly
about the personal lives of the NYU characters. Sometimes there is the cop
stuff when it ties into the story. So I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own no original characters that appeared on New York
Undercover
NYU Up-Close and Personal Episode 1: Is this Real?
Prologue: Its 2001 which is three years since Eddie died. Even though Nina
said that she couldn't handle a relationship with JC she has decided that
she is ready to date JC. Melissa is living with her and attends Woodbridge
with G. She is 13 and will be 14 soon and G is 15. Melissa and G get along
but G feels it is his duty to watch over Melissa at school. Melissa can't
stand it so they fight a lot, but deep down they love each other. Nina and
JC have been dating for about 6 months so there relationship is getting
serious. Guys don't get mad because all stories pay off in the end.
Scene 1 at the Williams residence the front door opens and G and Melissa
enter the apartment.
G: (he is yelling) Dad we're here
Melissa: Yea and we brought breakfast

bed.

Melissa and Nina are in the car
Nina: we should talk about this
Melissa: you know we really don't have to because frankly I could have went
my whole life without seeing that.
Nina: so you're not upset are you?
Melissa: well I knew you were like dating and all that but it's just a little
weird that you're sleeping with G's dad.
Nina: Melissa!
Melissa: It's fine with me but I don't think G likes it.
Nina: why not?
Melissa: he won't say but I think it has something to do with Eddie
Nina: well how do you feel about it
Melissa: well I saw Eddie like once so I don't know him but if I did I think
I would be a little uncomfortable. (She sees Nina getting a little
disappointed) look Mom if you like somebody I say go for it. I mean you
can' t keep punishing yourself for something your not responsible for. You
can date hundreds of guys but if JC is the one then your never going to be
completely happy with any of those guys. G likes you and he'll get over it.
I'll talk to him I promise mom.

dislike me

to my mother
and since your being so understanding please understand why I plan too kill
you.
Carlyn: Melissa calm down you don't know what he is capable of
Eddie: I'm not going to hurt anyone and Melissa I love your Mother with all
my heart
Melissa: I don't doubt that but you are going to break her heart all over
again I see her when she looks at your pictures she looks like she has so
many great memories inside but she is still hurt because she had to live
without you and Eddie if you look in her eyes you'll see the hurt too. She's
finally moving on so excuse me for not wanting you to bring all that pain
back.

Melissa: Carlyn its cool what she doesn't know won't hurt her (Melissa walks
over to Eddie)
Eddie: hey

know she'll tell my mom.
Eddie: well do you have to go home with Carlyn. I could take you
Melissa: Why?
Eddie: because I think we should talk
Melissa: hold on ( Melissa runs over to Carlyn and says something to her and
walks back)
I told her I was riding with G so lets go on the other side of the school.
Eddie: I got a better idea why don't you pretend to walk around the school
and meet me at the next block
Melissa: Okay cool
Scene 8 at a diner Melissa has a drink in front of her and Eddie is sitting
across from her.
Eddie: Are you sure you don't want a hamburger or something?
Melissa: I'm sure, I thought we came here to talk not to eat
Eddie: your right
Melissa: So you gonna talk or what?
Eddie: before your mom got there you were dead set on doing bodily harm to
me. What changed your mine.
Melissa: Well for one my mom looked at you with those ice cold eyes that she
gets when shes pissed. And anyone who gets that look deserves mercy.
Eddie: I don't think you should say pissed
Melissa: And I don't think you should play dead now you gonna let me finish?
Eddie: go ahead
Melissa: and then I got to thinking for whatever reason you did what you did
it must have been hard not being able to see the women you wanted to spend
the rest of your life with.
Eddie: you thought this up in a matter of 30 seconds
Melissa: basically
Eddie:( he laughs and then Melissa laughs) its good to see you can actually
laugh.
Melissa: I'm not as mean as you think I am. I'm just protecting her
Eddie: Yea I know
Melissa ( she looks at Eddie thoughtfully and smiles) I'm glad you
understand
Eddie: so what do I do we both know she doesn't want to talk to me.
Melissa: don't take no for an answer be aggressive but not to aggressive
you might get hurt.
Eddie: your probably right.
Melissa: make her talk to you tell your sorry and make her understand that
even though you made a huge mistake you can't change the past.
Eddie: thats good stuff, but what if she is dating someone
Melissa: ( she pauses) Um
Eddie: she is dating someone isn't she?
Melissa: that doesn't matter you were married to her obviously she loved you
a whole lot more than any guy she's dating
Eddie: I guess your right
Melissa: ( looking at her watch) I should go its getting late and if my mom
finds out she'll be piss-- I mean mad (Eddie smiles)
Eddie: you want me to drive you
Melissa: Its not dark yet I can go alone besides I don't want to risk my mom
seeing you.
Eddie: thanks Melissa
Melissa: it was nothing besides I didn't do it for you I want my mom to be
happy cause she's really important to me
Eddie: and I bet she feels the same about you too
Melissa: Yea but I think your at the top of her list now don't let your
chance slip away ( she smiles and walks away)
Eddie smiles to hm self and runs his hands through his hair and watches
Melissa leave.
Scene 9: At the Moreno residence the front door opens and Melissa enters she
begins to walk in to the living room , but sees Nina sittng in there looking
a little upset so she turns and walks to her room
Nina: hold it
cut to Melissa rolling her eyes and walking back to were Nina is
Melissa ( trying to smile) What's wrong?
Nina: Don't play that game with me where were you
Melissa: With G
Nina: that's funny because I just talk to G and he is on his way to his
mother's house
Melissa: Oh
Nina: you might want to make a note to yourself that when you lie you
should check with the other person before saying your with them
Melissa: (Melissa sighs and speaks sacastically) Okay Mom I'll be sure to
write that down in my handy dandy notebook.
Nina: What the hell is wrong with you I have always trusted you if you
wanted to go somewhere with your friends then all you had to do was ask.
Melissa: I know I just didn't think you'd understand
Nina: Melissa I use to sneak out and do stupid stuff because my parents were
strict and I felt like they didn't understand me,I don't want you to feel
that way.
Melissa: I don't
Nina: well then what is
Melissa: your always comparing me to you I'm not the same person you don't
even listen to what I have to say you think you treat me like an adult but
that's only when its convient for you.( Melissa begins to walk away but then
looks at Nina who's eyes are glassy )
Melissa: ( in a softer tone) I just don't want to tell you ever little
detail of my life because half the time its not even important.
Nina: fine, but what happened are you upset about something ( Melissa looks
away) Please talk to me.
Melissa:(she sighs) Look the other day when we were at JC' house you treated
me like I was two. You've always talked to me about stuff and now your
pretending nothing happened like it was all a dream. I don't expect you to
talk about everything that goes on because your my mom, but this affects me
too. And I gotta tell you this sucks. ( Nina laughs)
Nina: I know but I just don't know what to say right now or muchless what to
do. I mean I'm I supposed to pretend that I'm still married to him or what?
Melissa: I guess it is kind of weird ( she pauses and begins to speak really
fast) What I'm about to say I know I'm gonna regret because all probably end
up grounded but I'll feel really bad if I don't so her goes: Eddie can to my
school today
Nina: What!?
Melissa: That's not all I meet him at a diner and we talked(Nina is not
saying anything but she looks angry) Mom please say something
Nina: (calmly) Melissa I really don't think I should talk to you now because
I don't know what I might say. I think you should go to bed.
Melissa:( she looks a little afraid) Mom-
Nina: (Nina is yelling)Go! (Melissa leaves)
Scene: 9
At the Moreno residence. There is a knock at the Door. Cut to Nina opening
the door. On the other side is Eddie.
Nina: I can't believe you have the audacity to show up here after
practically kidnapping my kid.
Eddie: Look I'm sorry. I just felt like you were shutting me out and I
couldn't take it. I have been living like this for three years.
Nina: Lets get one thing straight you chose to leave. So this is all you
don't try to put it on me.
Eddie: I'm not blaming you. I made a mistake people make mistakes.
Nina: Yea your right and some you don't forgive. Do you have any idea what
the first 6 months of my life where like when you were so called dead?
Eddie: Nina...
Nina: No let me finish. Eddie I couldn't eat, sleep, hell I couldn't even
sleep. I wanted to die. Living meet nothing to me. I felt so alone.
Eddie: What changed it?
Nina: Melissa and then my mom and JC where there.
Eddie: I don't what to say I didn't know you be in so much pain
Nina: Eddie you were the only one I wanted to be with. The love of my
life. And now all I can think is I must have done something wrong to make
you leave me. Because I would have done anything to wake up next to you
everyday.
Eddie: Nina we can have all that again just trust me let me be there for
you.
Nina: I can't I just want this to go away( tears are falling) I just want
my life to be back to like it was a week ago.
Eddie: If you can look me in my eyes and tell me that you don't love me I'll
go away. If you can tell me that there is nothing there then this will all
be over in an instance. I leave and you can go on with your life. Just say
the word.
Nina: (crying) you know I can't
Eddie: (he touches Nina's cheek and wipes some of her tears away.) God I
love you
Nina: I love you too. ( Eddie leans in to kiss Nina but she stops him)
wait. You have to go slow okay. I don't know if I'm ready for this.
Eddie: Anything you want I only want you to be happy. I don't want you to
feel pressured. Just tell me if ...
Nina: Eddie, shut up and kiss me.
Eddie looks at Nina and takes her hands. They kiss . Cut to Melissa spying
on them and smiling to herself.
Fade to black.

G: you know you probably didn't see him
Melissa: I know what I saw
G: your crazy I went to his funeral
Melissa: Oh and just because you went to his funeral you know right? Tell me
G did you see his body?
G: you know they wouldn't show that stuff
Melissa: well then shut up I'm sick of you always telling me what to do and
what to think
Carlyn: Okay both of you just calm down lets just wait till Nina and JC get
here
Melissa and G are looking each other dead in the eye and there is a knock at
the door
Melissa: that can't be my mom or your dad because they have a key
G: look both of you should go in the back and pretend like your not here
Melissa: no way Carlyn can go in the back but I won't leave you
Carlyn: well if Melissa is staying so am I
G: fine (someone knocks again G look through the peep hole) I don't believe
it..... its him..... its Eddie
Melissa: let him in
G: are you crazy he could hurt us and you don't know if thats really him
Melissa: G I'm not afraid of him
G: Melissa just because you just got you black belt doesn't mean your

Melissa: I can handle it let him in
G: my father is going to kill me for this ( he opens the door Eddie walks
in)
Eddie: you guys don't be afraid I won't hurt you
Melissa: thats too bad because I plan to hurt you
Eddie: look I didn't mean too scare you in the store and I understand if
your mad
Melissa: I don't care about that but do you have any idea what you've done
to my mother
and since your being so understanding please understand why I plan too kill
you.
Carlyn: Melissa calm down you don't know what he is capable of
Eddie: I'm not going to hurt anyone and Melissa I love your Mother with all
my heart
Melissa: I don't doubt that but you are going to break her heart all over
again I see her when she looks at your pictures she looks like she has so
many great memories inside but she is still hurt because she had to live
without you and Eddie if you look in her eyes you'll see the hurt too. She's
finally moving on so excuse me for not wanting you to bring all that pain
back.
Nina and JC walk in
Nina: Melissa are you - Oh my God (she is looking at Eddie)
JC: Yo Ed what the hell is this man
Nina: (almost in tears) I don't need this Carlyn I should take you home
Melissa lets go
Eddie: Nina wait can we talk
Nina: you should have thought about that before you decided to play whatever
game it is that your playing.
Eddie: I didn't have a choice
Nina: (Nina is looking straight in Eddie's eyes) There's always a choice.
Melissa, lets go
Melissa: Wait Mom maybe you should stay and talk
Nina: I said lets go and I mean it now come on
Melissa: But I just thought
Nina:( Nina looks angry) Well you thought wrong now I'm not going to argue

Eddie: Melissa can I talk to you for a minute
Melissa begins to walk towards Eddie
Carlyn: (she grabs Melissa) are your crazy your Mom said not to talk to him
Melissa: Carlyn its cool what she doesn't know won't hurt her (Melissa walks
over to Eddie)
Eddie: hey
Melissa: Carlyn Mom is picking us up and she'll flip if she sees you and I
know she'll tell my mom.
Eddie: well do you have to go home with Carlyn. I could take you
Melissa: Why?
Eddie: because I think we should talk
Melissa: hold on ( Melissa runs over to Carlyn and says something to her and
walks back)
I told her I was riding with G so lets go on the other side of the school.
Eddie: I got a better idea why don't you pretend to walk around the school
and meet me at the next block
Melissa: Okay cool
Scene 8 at a diner Melissa has a drink in front of her and Eddie is sitting
across from her.
Eddie: Are you sure you don't want a hamburger or something?
Melissa: I'm sure, I thought we came here to talk not to eat
Eddie: your right
Melissa: So you gonna talk or what?
Eddie: before your mom got there you were dead set on doing bodily harm to
me. What changed your mine.
Melissa: Well for one my mom looked at you with those ice cold eyes that she
gets when shes pissed. And anyone who gets that look deserves mercy.
Eddie: I don't think you should say pissed
Melissa: And I don't think you should play dead now you gonna let me finish?
Eddie: go ahead
Melissa: and then I got to thinking for whatever reason you did what you did
it must have been hard not being able to see the women you wanted to spend
the rest of your life with.
Eddie: you thought this up in a matter of 30 seconds
Melissa: basically
Eddie:( he laughs and then Melissa laughs) its good to see you can actually
laugh.
Melissa: I'm not as mean as you think I am. I'm just protecting her
Eddie: Yea I know
Melissa ( she looks at Eddie thoughtfully and smiles) I'm glad you
understand
Eddie: so what do I do we both know she doesn't want to talk to me.
Melissa: don't take no for an answer be aggressive but not to aggressive
you might get hurt.
Eddie: your probably right.
Melissa: make her talk to you tell your sorry and make her understand that
even though you made a huge mistake you can't change the past.
Eddie: thats good stuff, but what if she is dating someone
Melissa: ( she pauses) Um
Eddie: she is dating someone isn't she?
Melissa: that doesn't matter you were married to her obviously she loved you
a whole lot more than any guy she's dating
Eddie: I guess your right
Melissa: ( looking at her watch) I should go its getting late and if my mom
finds out she'll be piss-- I mean mad (Eddie smiles)
Eddie: you want me to drive you
Melissa: Its not dark yet I can go alone besides I don't want to risk my mom
seeing you.
Eddie: thanks Melissa
Melissa: it was nothing besides I didn't do it for you I want my mom to be
happy cause she's really important to me
Eddie: and I bet she feels the same about you too
Melissa: Yea but I think your at the top of her list now don't let your
chance slip away ( she smiles and walks away)
Eddie smiles to hm self and runs his hands through his hair and watches
Melissa leave.
Scene 9: At the Moreno residence the front door opens and Melissa enters she
begins to walk in to the living room , but sees Nina sittng in there looking
a little upset so she turns and walks to her room
Nina: hold it
cut to Melissa rolling her eyes and walking back to were Nina is
Melissa ( trying to smile) What's wrong?
Nina: Don't play that game with me where were you
Melissa: With G
Nina: that's funny because I just talk to G and he is on his way to his
mother's house
Melissa: Oh
Nina: you might want to make a note to yourself that when you lie you
should check with the other person before saying your with them
Melissa: (Melissa sighs and speaks sacastically) Okay Mom I'll be sure to
write that down in my handy dandy notebook.
Nina: What the hell is wrong with you I have always trusted you if you
wanted to go somewhere with your friends then all you had to do was ask.
Melissa: I know I just didn't think you'd understand
Nina: Melissa I use to sneak out and do stupid stuff because my parents were
strict and I felt like they didn't understand me,I don't want you to feel
that way.
Melissa: I don't
Nina: well then what is
Melissa: your always comparing me to you I'm not the same person you don't
even listen to what I have to say you think you treat me like an adult but
that's only when its convient for you.( Melissa begins to walk away but then
looks at Nina who's eyes are glassy )
Melissa: ( in a softer tone) I just don't want to tell you ever little
detail of my life because half the time its not even important.
Nina: fine, but what happened are you upset about something ( Melissa looks
away) Please talk to me.
Melissa:(she sighs) Look the other day when we were at JC' house you treated
me like I was two. You've always talked to me about stuff and now your
pretending nothing happened like it was all a dream. I don't expect you to
talk about everything that goes on because your my mom, but this affects me
too. And I gotta tell you this sucks. ( Nina laughs)
Nina: I know but I just don't know what to say right now or muchless what to
do. I mean I'm I supposed to pretend that I'm still married to him or what?
Melissa: I guess it is kind of weird ( she pauses and begins to speak really
fast) What I'm about to say I know I'm gonna regret because all probably end
up grounded but I'll feel really bad if I don't so her goes: Eddie can to my
school today
Nina: What!?
Melissa: That's not all I meet him at a diner and we talked(Nina is not
saying anything but she looks angry) Mom please say something
Nina: (calmly) Melissa I really don't think I should talk to you now because
I don't know what I might say. I think you should go to bed.
Melissa:( she looks a little afraid) Mom-
Nina: (Nina is yelling)Go! (Melissa leaves)
Scene: 9
At the Moreno residence. There is a knock at the Door. Cut to Nina opening
the door. On the other side is Eddie.
Nina: I can't believe you have the audacity to show up here after
practically kidnapping my kid.
Eddie: Look I'm sorry. I just felt like you were shutting me out and I
couldn't take it. I have been living like this for three years.
Nina: Lets get one thing straight you chose to leave. So this is all you
don't try to put it on me.
Eddie: I'm not blaming you. I made a mistake people make mistakes.
Nina: Yea your right and some you don't forgive. Do you have any idea what
the first 6 months of my life where like when you were so called dead?
Eddie: Nina...
Nina: No let me finish. Eddie I couldn't eat, sleep, hell I couldn't even
sleep. I wanted to die. Living meet nothing to me. I felt so alone.
Eddie: What changed it?
Nina: Melissa and then my mom and JC where there.
Eddie: I don't what to say I didn't know you be in so much pain
Nina: Eddie you were the only one I wanted to be with. The love of my
life. And now all I can think is I must have done something wrong to make
you leave me. Because I would have done anything to wake up next to you
everyday.
Eddie: Nina we can have all that again just trust me let me be there for
you.
Nina: I can't I just want this to go away( tears are falling) I just want
my life to be back to like it was a week ago.
Eddie: If you can look me in my eyes and tell me that you don't love me I'll
go away. If you can tell me that there is nothing there then this will all
be over in an instance. I leave and you can go on with your life. Just say
the word.
Nina: (crying) you know I can't
Eddie: (he touches Nina's cheek and wipes some of her tears away.) God I
love you
Nina: I love you too. ( Eddie leans in to kiss Nina but she stops him)
wait. You have to go slow okay. I don't know if I'm ready for this.
Eddie: Anything you want I only want you to be happy. I don't want you to
feel pressured. Just tell me if ...
Nina: Eddie, shut up and kiss me.
Eddie looks at Nina and takes her hands. They kiss . Cut to Melissa spying
on them and smiling to herself.
