Finding Each Other
Chapter 5: Intensely Painful
As if not having the courage to confront Jimmy was hard enough. What was happening that exact moment was far more worse than confronting Jimmy. In fact it was miles and miles away from far worse. Kayla was getting so upset she was literally loosing control of the wheel. Nikkie was getting so scared she decided to put on her seatbelt. The car kept swerving left to right, left to right. "Mom calm down, mom..mom..MOM WATCH OUT!!!!!" Nikkie yelled. But before getting on the highway she had ran a red light, and a FedEx truck coming towards Kayla's side hit the back passenger seats. Causing the car to literally fly off the street. She was only a few feet away from the highway. But as the car swerved off into the dark crashing into a tree, the truck driver stops his truck causing a lot of traffic. He gets out of the truck and runs out after the car. He found the car smashed up against a tree, a rather large tree. He ran towards the car to see if he can find any survivors.
"Are you ok....Hello..any survivors" the man yelled He heard no voices. It was silent. The only noise that was visible was the honking of the cars. He decided to move closer to look into the car. He was on Nikkie's side. He looked into the car and saw Nikki's hand covered in blood, her cheek with a scratch, and there was blood on the back of her neck. She was unconscious, he put his fingers on her neck and felt a pulse. He took out his cell phone and dialed 911.
"Yes, um...I have just witnessed an accident, um..I am looking at the 2 victims and um...the driver is ok but the passenger is unconscious. Oh... we are at the block before hitting the highway on 207.. Yes and hurry!!!"
He looked towards the driver and she had a big red dot on her forehead and a few cuts on her cheeks and she was rubbing her elbow. The man said,
"Miss, are you ok"
"Yes, my arm it hurts..Nikkie" Kayla said in a painful voice. Kayla looked at Nikkie and tears began to swell up in her eyes. She was so upset.
"Nikkie...NIKKIE!!!!!!!!!!" Kayla screamed. "Not to worry miss she is unconscious, I'm sure she will be ok, I just called an ambulance." The man said
The sound of the sirens coming from a mile away woke Nikkie, letting her eyes open slightly, she couldn't talk, but she was terrified. "Don't worry dear help is coming" the man said to Nikkie, while brushing her hair from her face. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nikkie was brought into the ambulance and was taken to the hospital. Kayla was also in the back with her. Kayla was getting her cuts cleaned, and her elbow was being covered in gauze and she was given ice to make the bump on her head go away. Nikkie was able to see light. But she was in pain, the cut on her neck had been a piece of glass from the window. The impact from hitting the tree caused her head to go forward, letting a piece of glass find a way to her neck. Her hand had been bleeding because she had wiped her neck before she got knocked out. The scratch on her cheek was a piece of glass that sliced a scratch on her cheek. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While the ambulance was on its way the school had just gotten the news! Someone had been near the accident at the time. He had been at the dance, but he had been out to let off some steam after his girlfriend had dumped him. ( Well that's not the point) He had also witnessed the accident and had ran back to the school. He found Mr. Raditch and told him the bad news. The boy didn't know who was in the car though. When the boy told Mr. Raditch the color of the car, the principal knew who it was. At that exact moment Paige had heard everything. It was her and Spinner.
"Oh my god,....Nikkie" cried Paige looking at Spinner. Paige leaned into his shoulder and he cuddled her and told her to calm down. Then Craig appeared. He came up to Spinner and asked him what was wrong. To Craig's surprise he saw Spinner with his eyes getting watery.
"Spin, what's wrong" Craig asked nervously
Spinner looked at him and Paige turned her head up and looked at Craig. She was flushed and she was completely red and her eyes were completely cried out.
"Its Nikkie..." Paige said while sniffling
"What about Nikkie" Craig asked
"She...she was in..in a car..accident" Spinner stuttered Craig's eyes widened and he opened his mouth but no words came out. He was in complete shock. He slowly stepped back and leaned against a wall. He stared mindlessly at the floor and his back sled down the wall making him sit on the floor. He was still staring at the floor. He had his arms wrapped around his knees. A tear began to roll down his cheek. Paige slowly walked toward him, and she bent down on her knees and sat down on her heels.
"Craig..." she whimpered "She's gonna be ok" Spinner spoke up with his eyes turning red because he kept holding back his tears. But when he looked dead in his face he let the tear drop.
Soon enough the horrible news got out. Everyone was worried. Especially her friends. Everyone was still in the gym, but the music was stopped and Mr. Raditch was on stage giving an announcement. He was saying,
"I'm sure by now you have all heard the news about Nikkie Stevenson, and I am sure she is at the hospital by now. Now I would just like to start off by saying that you very well behaved yourselves during the dance and as well as after hearing the horrible news. But at this moment I would like all close friends of Nikkie to come to into class 301 at the moment and everyone else please quietly and in an orderly fashion leave the gymnasium and as well as the school."
Paige and Spinner were the first to walk out of the gym together, then Manny and Emma, as followed J.T., Toby, Sean, Terri, Ashley and Craig, Marco, Hazel, and Jimmy was the last to walk to the class with them, everyone else followed out of the gym to the front steps of the school.
Everyone sat down and Ms. Kwan was passing around a box of tissue's and everyone was at least crying or just down right upset. Except Jimmy he was the one with so much shock. He was sitting next to Paige who was sitting next to Spinner. Paige looked at Jimmy then at Spinner. The she asked Spinner,
"Why is Jimmy looking so depressed....I mean I know the deal but I've never seen him like this" she said while wiping her cheek.
"I'm not supposed to tell you but....Jimmy really had a thing for her" he whispered in her ear.
"Oh, I had no clue" Paige said sympathetically Paige looked at Jimmy who had his arms crossed on the desk and his head dug into his arms. Paige put her arm around his back and said "Its gonna be ok, Jimmy". Jimmy looked up and what she didn't realize was that he was crying. He looked at her dead in her eyes and she hugged him. He was completely upset. Then Mr. Raditch walked into the room and announced that a bus was going to take them to the hospital because they had gotten the news that Nikkie was ok, and that she was asking to see her friends.
Everyone went into the bus and soon enough they were walking into the hospital. They sat in the waiting room and waited for the time to see her. Ashley sat next to Craig all cuddled up on his arm. Ashley was proud of Craig that he actually had the courage to support a friend who had been in an accident. Ever since his fathers death he had hated to hear about anyone dieing. Then also having the gut to come back to a hospital took a lot from him. But he did it because she was his friend and he still loved her even if she didn't want exactly what he wanted.
Then a man came down the hallway in a white lab coat and came into the waiting room. He said that they were now excepting visitors, but at the moment two at a time. So first went in Spinner and Paige. Paige was behind Spinner grabbing onto his arm. They walked inside and saw Nikkie lying on a bed, she had that slash on her cheek with a band-aid, and her neck was tied up in bandages and her mom was sitting next to her.
"Ms.S" Paige said silently
"Oh..I'm so happy you came. She has been asking for all of you." Kayla said
Paige went up to Kayla and gave her a hug. Then Spinner did the same. "I'm going to leave you to your talk and I'll be back in awhile." Kayla said
They walked up to the bed and Nikkie stared at Paige. Tears came up in Nikkie's eyes. Then Paige began to tear. She went up to Nikkie and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm so glad your ok" Paige said
"Are you in pain at all" Spinner asked
"Not really, I mean my back is a little out but other than that I'm fine" Nikkie said with out a sound of pain. She said it normally like she hadn't even been nearly killed.
"Oh, well everyone else is out there waiting to see you. We can't stay for long we don't want to keep them waiting ok"
Nikkie nodded and Paige brushed her hair back. Spinner gave her a kiss on her forehead and they left the room.
Next was Manny and J.T. But the only thing that happened that Nikkie expected was J.T. asking her if she needed anything. She knew he was going to ask her if she needed anything. But Manny calmed him down and they finally had a normal conversation.
After them two was Emma and Sean. Sean was nice he was considerate and Emma was just upset and very, very happy she was ok.
Then Ashley and Toby came. Then Terri and Marco. Then the only 2 people left were Jimmy and Hazel. In the waiting room they all sat. Then when Hazel saw Marco and Terri coming down the hall way she got up and began to walk. She then stopped turned around and said,
"Jimmy aren't you coming"
Jimmy stayed silent. "Jimmy" she asked. He looked up at her and she asked again "Are you coming?". Jimmy looked back down. Then Hazel turned around and walked off into the room.
Craig got up and walked towards Jimmy.
"Are you...ok" Craig asked
"Do I look ok" Jimmy snapped
Craig looked at him then said the words that completely shocked Jimmy.
"Jimmy, she likes you" Craig surprised himself when he said those words. He guessed he liked Nikkie so much that he wanted the best for her. So he knew Jimmy was a good guy.
"She likes you, and I'm sure she would like you to see her" Craig said
Jimmy looked at him. "She told you that" Jimmy asked
Craig smiled and slightly laughed "yeah she did"
Jimmy began to smile a little. Jimmy had a pink shopping bag in his hand. He had the teddy bear in his locker ever since her birthday. He figured he could give it to her. Hazel then came back. Everyone began to call their parents to tell them to pick them up. Except Jimmy. His parents were out of town until dawn on business. Then Craig went to go see Nikkie. He was amazed to see her ok, and still very much alive, alive in way that like she didn't even care that she could of died. When he came back to that waiting room he saw Jimmy. He went up to him and said "Go".
He got up and walked off looking back at Craig who was sitting back down next to Ashley. Then Jimmy reached the door. He was slowly putting his hand on the door knob, but then quickly pulled away. He was going to turn around, but then the words that Craig told him popped into his head. He opened the door and found that Nikkie had fallen asleep. He pulled up a chair and sat next to her. He stared at her mindlessly and he was brushing her cheek with his finger. Nikkie twitched her head and turned her head towards Jimmy.
"Jimmy" she said quietly
"Hey" he said
"You came,....I didn't think you'd come" Nikkie said
"Why would you think that" Jimmy said in a confused tone
"I don't know, it doesn't matter. You're here already" Nikkie said "What's in the bag" Nikkie asked Jimmy.
"Oh..this... it's for you" Jimmy said
He then pulled out the bear with the card hanging from its neck. "Jimmy, its so cute..but where did you find the time to" Nikkie asked
"It was your birthday present, but before I tell you anything you have to read the card." He told her
She opened the card and read to herself.
"Dear Nikkie-
I know we hardly even talk to each other and we hardly even now each other I had so much on my mind about you. The first time I had talked to you which was with a group of people was amazing. I love the way you listen. Your so smart and your so beautiful, and even though you probably wouldn't give a damn for this letter, I just want to let you know that I am always there for you. You make me feel whole when I see you of even hear your voice. I always there. Just know that. OK!!!
Love always, Jimmy Brooks
Nikkie was shocked. She looked at Jimmy then back at the letter.
"Jimmy, I'm completely shocked" Nikkie said
"Yeah,..why" Jimmy asked
"Because these are the exact same thing I thought about you. I mean I never thought you felt this way for me" Nikkie said
"I thought you didn't like me either. I was going to ask you to the dance but..." Nikkie interrupted him and said "I was gonna ask you too"
"I guess we doubted to many thing that we were to blind to see the truth" Jimmy said
"You mean it took me, to nearly get killed and let all of my friends see me lying on a bed with bandages, to find out you liked me back" Nikkie said
"Probably it wasn't supposed to happen this way, but it just did" Jimmy said
"Yeah, I guess so" Nikkie said back to him
"Jimmy, how is it that something so horrible can later on become so beautiful" Nikkie asked him
"I guess, ...that not everything is bad, there will always be a good ending" Jimmy answered back
"Yeah, I guess that can be true,..but not all the time".
Jimmy nodded. He stared at her for a little while. She was hugging the teddy bear very tight. Then he leaned in closely and kissed her on the lips. She then opened her eyes and saw Jimmy an inch away then he kissed her passionately. He backed away and told her he would see her in the morning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Authors Note: I have just realized that in the 4th chapter I wrote Spinner's name twice, you know in the part the guys come and pick up the girls for the dance at Nikkie's house. I ment to write Spinner and J.T. So just saying sorry for that. Just wait for the next chapter. Coming in by Friday or next Saturday. Or maybe even earlier.
