Finding Each Other
Chapter 10: How Can I say?
Nikkie was on the couch curled up against the arm of the chair. She was still in her school day outfit. She was in the living room with Raylese, her mom and Auntie Casey. She was listening to the rest of the plan for the up coming visit to Virginia, while she took the two braids out form her hair. Her hair was wavy from the braids. She was completely upset. How much news could she get in a lifetime. Already more than three in less then 4 days. But all she could think about was Jimmy, and how everyone one would.
"But why in Virginia, why not here" Nikkie asked
"Because we want to bury him next to your mom" Casey said
"Oh, well how can it take a month" Raylese asked
"Well, to tell you the truth we might stay a little longer" Kayla said
"What!" Nikkie and Raylese said
"Well, see we are going to be with family for a while and plus its your great grandmothers anniversary of her death in 3 weeks" Kayla said
"Oh Boy, there's too much work to be done" Nikkie said all frustrated
"Well trust me it will be a long week until we can relax with family, and then work again for the anniversary" Casey said
Nikkie smiled a fake smile just to show she was up for it.
"Why don't you two start to pack up so you don't have to deal with it last minute" Kayla said
Nikkie and Raylese got up and went upstairs. Nikkie was a little more upset than Raylese but that didn't hold Nikkie back from slamming door and punching her face into her pillow. She screamed just to relieve herself. Then she sat up on her bed and looked at the picture beside her bed. Her father, the only parent she had left was now gone. Even though she had Kayla she still felt like an orphan. She got up and opened her closet door looking in it like a maniac. Then she struggled to pull out her luggage bag. It flopped open and that really got her frustrated. Then she left it lying on the floor. She pulled open her drawer real hard and started pulling out shirts and socks, and she just threw them into her suitcase. Along with that she pulled out the next three outfits she was going to wear to school. When she shut her drawer hard she heard a loud thunder. She got a little scared. She walked to the window and looked up into the sky and saw the clouds grey and dark, and they were moving fast. She looked down and saw the streets deserted. Until she saw someone wearing dark blue jeans and a dark blue hoody over his head. He had his hands in his pockets. But when she looked closer she noticed that it was Jimmy. She smiled a bit. She jumped over her suitcase and opened the door. She ran downstairs and past her mom and aunt.
"NIKKIE, its gonna rain" Kayla said, but Nikkie ignored her and Kayla left her alone.
Nikkie jumped down the steps of the porch and caught up with Jimmy, who was closer to the house now. Nikkie jumped in front of him and he looked into her eyes.
"Nikkie I was just about to come and see you" Jimmy said
"You were, well I saw you from my window" she told him
Nikkie looked at the ground and looked back up at him a little flushed.
"What's wrong" Jimmy asked
Before Nikkie could say anything another roll of thunder and lightening lit up the sky.
"We should go inside its getting dark and its bout' to rain" Jimmy said and turned towards the front porch.
"No" Nikkie said grabbing Jimmy's sweater.
"I wanna stay out here" Nikkie said as it began to drizzle
"But its gonna pour rain out here" Jimmy said
"So, I love the rain" Nikkie said as the rain began to fall down hard.
"Are you sure because you can get.." Nikkie interrupted him with a kiss. They kissed until rain came down on them harder and harder. They pulled away drenched in water. He hair lost all the curls but it came down straight from the rain. Jimmy had his arms wrapped around her and Nikkie's hands were on his elbows. She looked up at the rain coming down with her eyes closed and then back at Jimmy. His face had water dripping down his face. Jimmy took his finger and scrapped the water that was about to drip off her nose. Nikkie smiled and laughed a little and so did Jimmy. He kissed her again. The rain was just coming down forming puddles on the sidewalk and covering the trees and plants in water droplets. Jimmy pulled away from her and held her closer to his chest and kissed her on top of her head.
Nikkie was so happy to be in his arms. But the thing that wouldn't come out of her mind was how she was going to tell him. So she pulled away from his chest and looked at him. She looked down and said
"Jimmy I need to tell you something"
"What" Jimmy asked. Nikkie grabbed his hand and took him on the porch where they could sit down and watch the rain instead of getting covered in it.
"So what do you want to tell me" Jimmy asked taking off his hood.
Nikkie grabbed his arm and moved in closer to him. Her hands just wrapped around his arm and her head on his shoulder.
"Well first off you know I...you know that I..love you" Nikkie said
Jimmy smiled and said "yeah I love you too" and Nikkie smiled.
"Well this isn't easy to say but..." Nikkie paused
"But?" Jimmy questioned her
Nikkie was nervous and got up and turned to him about a few feet away. "This Friday I have to go back to Virginia..not to stay but to visit for a little more than a month" she said.
"What?" he said in shock
"I'm sorry but it's not optional, I mean Kayla wants to bury my dad next to my mom" she said
Jimmy got up and stood in front of her. "Wait your gonna bury him over there" Jimmy asked
"Yeah" Nikkie said
"And she wants to bury him next to your mom" Jimmy asked
"Yeah, we are all sure that's what he would of wanted, I mean he really loved her..ALOT" Nikkie said
Jimmy hugged her. "It's ok, it's what you've gotta do, right" he said
Nikkie smiled in satisfaction that he didn't react as bad as she thought he would.
They stayed outside talking for a little while longer. Jimmy was sitting on the top step and Nikkie was sitting on the one under him. He had his arms wrapped around her neck and she had her hands on his wrists. The rain was slowing down a little bit and the sun was breaking through the clouds a little bit.
"So how am I supposed to tell everyone about this" Nikkie asked him
"Don't worry about it so much. You do what you gotta do" Jimmy said
It was dark outside around 11:00. Nikkie got up and then he did.
"I've gotta get going , see you tomorrow" Jimmy said.
"Ok" . Nikkie put he arms around his neck and she kissed him. When they pulled away they both smiled and he let her go, still holding onto each others hands as he walked. As there fingers slipped he said
"Remember don't worry about it"
Nikkie smiled and went inside. She went upstairs all happy and went into her room. She had forgot she left her bag on the floor so she accidentally tripped and stumbled onto her bed. She laughed a little, but she hurt her knee a little. Still happy she went and took a shower and went to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day she woke up and walked into the bathroom. She clicked the light and leaned onto the sink and looked into the mirror. She looked at herself. Hair sloppy and eyes looking tired. She turned on the cold water and splashed it on her face. She brushed her teeth and changed into her light blue pants and white tank top ( that said " Crazy Chic") and her all white timberland boots. She walked into her room and turned on her radio. The song "My Baby" by Bow Wow was playing. She grabbed her brush and blow dryer and brought it into the bathroom. She straightened out her hair and put some cream on her hair to keep it soft and frizzies-free.
She was singing the song from Bow Wow as she got her book bag ready.
"They call me Bow Wow the Don Dutch..." Nikkie sang
She turned off the radio and zipped up her bookbag and grabbed her CD player. She walked out the door and closed it behind her. She walked into Raylese's room and took her Ashanti CD. She put it onto her CD player and walked downstairs. She went into the kitchen and put her book bag and CD player down on the counter. She poured some orange juice and drank up and she saw Raylese, Alexa and her aunt coming from the living room. She put the cup in the sink and picked up her CD player.
"I'm gonna go now bye Auntie, bye guys, and say bye to mom for me as she walked out the door putting on her headphones and kissing her aunt on the cheek.
"Rain On me..Oh won't you take this rain from me , I don't wanna live..." Nikkie sang to herself
She walked up to the front of the school and took off her headphones. She stuck her CD player into her book bag and walked up the steps.
"Do what you gotta do" Nikkie thought to herself.
Nikkie went inside and saw Jimmy. She gave him and kiss on the cheek and went to her locker. She opened it up and Paige and Hazel came up to her. She looked at Jimmy and Jimmy winked at her. Nikkie smiled. She turned to the girls and told them the news. They didn't mind but they sure where going to miss her. She told Emma, Manny, Ashley, Ellie Spinner and everyone else except Craig he hadn't shown up to school today.
She sat with Jimmy, Spinner, Ashley, Emma and Manny. Paige and Hazel had to stay for lunch detention for talking in class and Ellie went home for a doctors appointment.
"Where's Craig" Nikki asked
"He didn't show today" Ashley said
"Ok. You wanna come with me this afternoon to go see him" Nikkie asked Ashley.
"Cool. I was planning on going anyways" Ashley said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Ashley and Nikkie went to Craig's they found out that he had broken his ankle. She told him the news but he didn't mind either. Nikkie felt that Jimmy was right feel confident and you still have your courage. When they wee leaving Ashley gave Craig a kiss...on the lips. Nikkie was shocked.
"Bye Craig" Nikkie said to him
On their way out Nikkie asked about their relationship. Seems they had been pretty close, because Ashley told her they were almost close to..well you know. But Nikkie remembered that she was also a bit close to doing it too.
When she got home she stayed on the internet. Talking to friends and family back in VA. Later on she began writing a poem to Jimmy that she would give him before she left. She was proud of what she had written. She sealed it up into a envelope along with a note saying that the envelope was full with kisses for everyday that she was gone.
She went to take a shower and came into her room and put the letter under her pillow, and she went to bed.
Authors Note: WASSSS UPPPP PPL'S!!!!! Tomorrow imma try updating again. BIG MAYBE!!! WELL U LIKE THIS CHAPTER!!! ANYWAYZ..the song "Dangerously In Love 2" is a real song along with the real lyrics. It really is a nice song. Just wait to find out Nikkie's talent coming up in chapter 12 or 13. OH YEAH, I might put more than 12 chapters probably 15 of more. HOPEFULLY!!!
1 MUCH LOVE
