CHAPTER 4: Peeping Tom
*Ok, dumb chap name, but I couldn't think of anything else. So sue me! Not literally of course!!! LOL :) Nicole ***
Nicole woke up the next morning wondering where she was. She looked up and saw Jeff sleeping. She realized that she was in the hospital with Jeff still. She saw Matt sleeping in the chair. She looked back up at Jeff and picked up her hand. She softly stroked his cheek. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Hey Nickie."
"Hey skittles, how do you feel?"
"Like crap." He answered. "My head is killing me."
Nicole nodded. "Understandable, seeing as what happened." Jeff raised an eyebrow. Nicole realized, "Oh you don't remember?"
Jeff thought. "I kind of do, but it's fuzzy. What happened?"
"We don't exactly know. All we know is that a cop found you on the side of the road and it looked like someone had hit you in the head."
"Oh, wait I remember driving. I decided not to go for a run. I decided to grab something to eat. And I don't remember anything else." Jeff answered.
Nicole shrugged. "I'm just glad you're okay, Jeffy."
"Me too babygirl. So, anyways how come your here. I thought only family could stay?"
"Well, technically I am family." Nicole answered, smiling. Jeff smiled back.
"Yeah, I guess you are." He answered. He looked down her, she was his best friend, besides Shannon. They had always been there for one another. But to be honest, he had never thought of her as family. She was always more to him. Matt, Shane, and Shannon knew how he felt. He always wanted to tell her how he felt, but after he family died he didn't know if she would ever trust anyone again. But she did trust him. 'Come on man, don't wimp out.' He told himself. "Nic?" He finally said.
"Yeah, skittles?" She said looking up. As soon as their eyes connected, he leaned down and softly kissed her. "What was that for?" She asked after.
He shrugged. "I dunno, I guess for staying with me and caring. Did you mind?" He was afraid of the answer.
"Not at all skittles. In fact, you're more than welcome to do it again." He obliged and kissed her again, this time allowing his toungue to enter her mouth and search around. She returned the favor, tasting how sweet he tasted and he soft his lips were. They finally pulled away when they heard a voice.
"Finally." Matt said, stretching from his chair. "I was getting impatient waiting for you guys to admit you feelings." Jeff and Nicole just smiled. Nicole got up and stretched her legs. When she turned away from Jeff something caught her eye.
'Not again.' She thought as she bent down, picking up the note on the floor. Again her name was written in capital letters. This time the envelope was red. Nicole's hands shook as she opened it. Neither Hardy noticed, since they were busy chatting. Nicole slowly pulled the letter out and read it:
*** Nikki,***
Hi darling. I bet your wondering who this is? The notes, the phone call, Jeff's accident? Are they coincidences? Nope, they're all me. I know what else you're probably wondering, how did I get this note in the room? Well, I'll be honest, I snuck in and set it down for you to find. And when I was there, I saw something that bothered me, you sleeping with Jeff Hardy. I warned you that you shouldn't have picked him, but you did. Look what happened! Well, thats not all, my dear. You have so many friends, now you should be next? Matt, Shannon, Shane, Amy? Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Beware though, I know where you are every moment, even now!
*** LOVE, Me :)
Nicole tried to put the letter away, but she was shaking too bad. She tried to grab on to the nearest stand but when she touched it, her hand was shaking too bad to hold on. When she almost fell, she let out a small cry. Matt and Jeff turned to her, to see tears falling from her eyes, and seeing her shaking. Matt got up and went over to her.
"Nic, what's wrong?" He asked. She pointed to the note. Matt read it and clenched his fists. "Who sent this?"
"I...I... don....don't.... know." She finally stammered out. "I...I got.... another....one....it's at the.....arena."
"Babygirl come here." Jeff said. Nicole went over to him. He pulled her to him and held her to try to stop her from shaking. "It's okay beautiful. He won't hurt you." He soothed.
"I'm gonna go get Amy, Shan, and Shane. Then we're gonna go find the other note." Matt said.
"Matty?" Nicole said. He turned. "I'm sorry about not telling you right away. Um... could you thank Chris for me if you see him?" Matt nodded and left.
"You okay?" Jeff asked. Nicole nodded. Then a doctor came in and told Jeff he could leave later that day. Nicole stayed with Jeff during his tests and she occasionally fell asleep. After the doctors were done with Jeff, they left the room.
When the last doctor exited the room, he accidentally ran into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry." He said.
"It's okay." A deep voice answered. "I'm just checking on my good friend Jeff and my girl Nicole. The doctor nodded and left the man to watch over Jeff and Nicole, kissing.
