Finding Each Other

Chapter 12: I'll Be Missing you

Today was the day Nikkie would be leaving. She slammed her alarm clock because the alarm went off and woke her up. The clock said 4:01 A.M. Nikkie got up and went to the bathroom. Everyone else was either still sleeping or already getting dressed. She took a long hot bath. While she did she wondered if Jimmy would come to the airport. She got out and wrapped the towel around her and went to her bedroom. She got dressed in white sweatpants, a black tank top and the white sweater and black boots. She was up and ready but still having second thoughts about leaving. She knew it was only a month, but to her it felt like she was leaving forever. She grabbed her teddy bear that Jimmy gave her and layed it gently into her backpack. Then she brought her luggage downstairs with the rest of them and found Casey making breakfast.

"Hey honey you want some" Casey asked as she sat up on the stool next to the counter.

"No thanks" Nikkie said as she laid her head on the counter.

"What's wrong Nikkie" she asked her.

"Nothing really" Nikkie said

She got up and walked out to the backyard and saw her mom loading some of the luggage into the trunk of the car. She asked if she had needed help but her mom had finished up the job.

When it had finally hit around 5:30 they left to the airport. The flight was at 6:15 and it took at least 30 minutes to get there. Casey was driving and Kayla was in the front, and the rest in the back. When they got to the airport they brought there luggage to the belt. They sat down for a while until their flight was called. Nikkie didn't want to sit down she was walking back and forth nervous that Jimmy wouldn't come. In her pocket was the letter she was going to give to him.

Raylese was looking at her worried. So she went up to her and grabbed her arm.

"Nikkie...are you ok" Raylese asked her.

"Yeah, I'm good" Nikkie said biting her finger

"You don't look good" Raylese said

"Well, I'm fine" Nikkie said raising her voice.

"Ok, whatever you say" Raylese said and turned around and sat in her seat.

"Flight 103 is now boarding, I repeat flight 103 is now boarding" the lady at the front desk said.

They all got up and began walking towards the gate. As Nikkie went towards the gate she kept looking back to see if she could find Jimmy, but there was too many people. Meanwhile, Jimmy was all the way in the back trying to get through the crowd. When Nikkie stood next to the lady collecting the tickets she stood there for about 5 minutes.

"Um, excuse me miss are you coming through the gates are about to close in 5 minutes" the lady said.

"Can you wait please" Nikkie said and the lady turned her face.

Nikkie looked back but looked away and looked down and gave the ticket in. A tear came down her cheek and she felt so sad. She walked into the gateway. All of a sudden she heard someone calling her name.

"NIKKIE!!! NIKKIE!!! NIKKIE!!!" the voice called.

Nikkie turned around and saw no one until she saw a crowd of people moving to the side to let the person through. She saw Jimmy out of breath. She smiled and dropped her bag and ran to him and jumped into his arms. They hugged for a long time.

"Jimmy I gotta go" Nikkie said pulling the letter from her pocket.

"Ok, well this is for you" Jimmy said handing her a letter.

Nikkie smiled and handed him his letter.

"I guess we think alike" Nikkie said as they both smiled at each other.

Nikkie put her arms around his neck and gave him a long kiss.

"Jimmy I'll call you" Nikkie said and picked up her bags. She turned around and left. Looking back once and a while. She went past the gate door and looked through the window on the door as the lady closed the door in Nikkie's face. She waved to Jimmy and blew him a kiss.

Jimmy walked outside and sat on a bench. He looked at the letter and looked at the note. He opened the envelope and read:

Dear Jimmy,

You know that I love you, right. I know you feel the same. We will always be together. I hope. You helped me when I needed you, especially through my rough times. I can't tell you or explain to you how much I care for you. I guess there isn't enough words to express it to you. Here's something I guess could help me express my feelings.

I'll be missing You By Nikkie

Even when I'm far away I'll be missing you Even when your not there I'll be missing you

The beauty and love we have for each other Will never fade away Even when your miles away The love will never fade

When today becomes tomorrow I'll be there by your side We'll be together forever You'll always be mine

So remember Even when I'm not there I'll always be thinking about you Cause even though I've gone away I'll be missing you

Love Always, Nikkie Stevenson

P.S. Love will stay with us forever
MMUUAAHHAAA (Kisses)

Jimmy smiled and a tear fell down his cheek.

(A/N: Whats weird about this is that they read each others letter at the same time and both start tearing at the same time. Cool huh)

Nikkie got into her seat next to Alexa. She took out the letter Jimmy gave her and opened it up and read it. It read:

Dear Nikkie,

I'm gonna miss you a lot. I know it's only a month but it seems like it will be forever. I love you and I'm a little sure you feel the same. But I hope we can stay this way for as long as possible. You are my world right now. And I wouldn't give you up for anything in the world. I hope you can say the same to me. I love you and I'll see you soon.

Love, Jimmy

Nikkie had a smile that she couldn't take off her face. But then the laughing turned into a tear rolling down her cheek.

The plane ride was long. Nikkie slept through it. Of course hugging her special teddy bear. She was still smiling about the sweet card he had given to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the plane arrived and they had all of their luggage they found a lot of relatives waiting for them. There was Nikkie & Raylese's cousin Roberta, Johnathan, Jessica, D.J., and Tess. Also a bunch of her aunts and uncles and some family members from Kayla's side.

When they went to Nikkie's aunt Paulina's house everyone was there. She has a big house, so they were having a big reunion. Most adults stayed inside talking and all the kids were in the back yard. Nikkie, Raylese, Roberta, and Johnathan were talking about how everything was going.

"So any boyfriends Nikkie" Roberta asked

"Yeah, 1 his names Jimmy and he is really sweet. And You" Nikkie asked Roberta.

"Yeah there's Calvin, Dave, and Mike" Roberta said laughing along with Nikkie.

"Nikkie we have a surprise for you...you too Raylese" Junior said pooping up out of no where.

"What" Nikkie and Raylese said

"Turn around" Junior said

When they turned around they saw all their closest friends. Nikkie's friends Lala (Laraine), Mila, Junior, Brian, Patricia, and Christina were there, plus all of Raylese's friends.

Nikkie jumped up and ran to them and hugged them all. After a bunch of hugs and smiles they finally sat down and talked the whole afternoon. They were completely excited and happy. It had been a long time. A little while later Nikkie wanted to go back to her old house that was still empty. She decided to ask her best guy friend and best girlfriend Junior and Patricia to go with her. They went to the backyard and went near this big tree Nikkie always used to play in as a little girl.

Nikkie climbed up the tree and sat on a branch.

"I remember my mom used to take me and Raylese out here to read stories". Nikkie said to them. Junior and Patricia just laughed.

When they sat down under it they started to talk.

"So...how is it over there" Patricia asked.

"It's cool. But you know I missed yall" Nikkie said

"So any boyfriends" Junior asked

"Oh Nikkie don't answer him. He still likes you. I mean he wouldn't stop talking bout you" Patricia said

Nikkie put her arm around Junior and literally strangled him.on purpose.

"It's ok. He knows the deal. We are just friends. Anyways I have a boyfriend" Nikkie said

"Details" Patricia asked

"Well his name is Jimmy, he is cute, sweet, and..he makes me feel...complete. Like no one can hurt me" Nikkie said

Junior laughed. "So any friends" Junior asked

"Loads, but you guys are always going to be at the top of the list" Nikkie said and hugged them both.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later on in the day they had a little party. But Nikkie unpacked in her guest room she was sharing with Raylese. She took out her black dress for the funeral the following day. She then found the teddy bear right next tot the dress. She looked at it and remembered Jimmy. She picked up the phone and called him long distance.

"Hello" the voice said

"Is Jimmy there" Nikkie asked

"This is Jimmy" he said

"JIMMY, it's me. I got here before" Nikkie said excited to hear his voice.

"Hey, how are you doing" Jimmy asked.

"Ok, now that I have seen all my family and friends" Nikkie said

"Oh, so how did you like my letter" Jimmy asked

"It was really sweet" Nikkie said "Mine was..." Nikkie said

"It was great" Jimmy said

"Like the poem" Nikkie asked

"Yeah" Jimmy answered

"Well I've gotta go..long distance.so" Nikkie said

"I'll be missing you" Jimmy said

Nikkie smiled and said "I'll be missing you" she made a kissing sound and hung up. Later on that night she popped her headphones and listened to a song, a song that was about to mean a lot.
