Where I'll Always Be

Chapter 2: A night to remember

When they arrived at the party loads of people were their. People were either talking, dancing, or making out in a corner. Nikkie pulled Jimmy in still trying to keep hold of his hand. She pulled him by his arm trying to get him to her through the crowd. He finally got himself to her. She took his hand and wrapped his arm around her stomache from the back. She lifted her arm and put it on the back of his head and leaned his head forward as her head leaned on his shoulder. She tried with all her might to make him hear through the noise.

"Let's go find Paige or...someone" Nikkie said

"Ok.but I doubt we will find them" Jimmy said

"Don't worry we will" Nikkie said and she turned to him and he grabbed her hand and began to struggle through the crowd.

They walked everywhere through the house. They finally found Paige and Spinner making out in a corner of the living room.

"Paige..um great party..but a little out of hand.don't you think" Nikkie said

"Well yeah..but it is a party" Paige said

"Yeah. So where is Craig, Marco, and Hazel and everyone else" Jimmy asked

"Well they are probably somewhere.around ...here" Paige said she looking at everyone dancing.

Nikkie looked back and saw well...just people. But people she didn't know. She told Jimmy she would be right back. She went into the crowd. She saw Sean arguing with Emma about another girl. And Manny, J.T., Toby, were dancing and that's all the people she knew plus a few kids from her class. Next minute the door opened, and Craig and Marco popped in. She saw them and talked to them real quick and went back to Jimmy with them behind her.

"Jimmy come on let's go dance" Nikkie said

"Alright..lets go then" Jimmy said

Then some reggae music started playing. And Jimmy looked at her then grabbed her waist. She put her arms around his neck and they was dancing very close. He was whispering things in her ear that made her laugh. They were laughing, smiling, and kissing all at once. They were dancing close. They were unseperable. Paige was looking at them.

"They are soooooo cute together. Spin.why can't we be that romantic" Paige asked him. When she looked at him he was stuffing his face with chips. He looked at her and said

"Sorry hon did you say something"

"UUHHHGGGG. Come on lets dance" Paige said. She grabbed his arm and dragged him to the living room. Craig and Marco laughed. But Craig looked at Nikkie who was having a great time. He was jealous of Jimmy. He sort of helped their relationship out, but now he felt jealous. Not that he wasn't happy for her. It's just that now he wished he was in Jimmy's position. Ashley wasn't there so he couldn't get much out of talking to a girl besides Nikkie, Paige and Hazel. But once in a while a girl would try to get him to dance with her, but he kept turning them down so he could watch Nikkie.

As Craig watched, he saw someone struggling through the crowd. When he looked closely he realized it was Manny. As she pushed she finally got out of the crowd and fell to the floor in her black pink mini skirt and black tight tank top. She had been accidentally tripped. He rushed up to her and helped her up. She got up and brushed herself off. She didn't realize who had helped her until she looked up at the face of the person. She stared into his eyes. It was silence for a second.

"Um..th-thanks.Craig" Manny said

"No.problem. SSOOO.having a good time" Craig asked

"Yeah..it's a great party. You?" Manny asked

They talked for a while. They talked about music. He was telling her about his band. She seemed interested. Later Paige came around. Craig asked her if she had a guitar. Paige answered that she had one in her room, but she didn't like people touching it because it mostly belonged to her brother.

"So..even though Paige said we couldn't you want to go upstairs and get a sneek peek at that guitar" Craig said

"Are you sure about this" Manny asked.

"Yeah" Craig said

Craig grabbed her hand and took her upstairs to Paige's bedroom. Meanwhile, Nikkie and Jimmy stopped dancing and sat down for a while.

"So did you tell Paige about tomorrow" Jimmy asked

"Yeah she said that since her mom wasn't working the next day she would take us" Nikkie said "And I talked to Spinner and Craig about it and their coming along too. And Hazel and Marco too" Nikke added.

"Cool..what about Manny and the others" Jimmy asked

"I'll ask them later.I'm not about to go back in there. It's crazy" Nikkie said.

Jimmy laughed and put his arm around her. She looked sideways and kissed him. Nikkie put her legs over Jimmy's, her butt still on the seat. Then he slipped her onto his lap completely. She put her arm around his neck and his arm around her back. She layed her head on his shoulder and he rubbed her back.

Meanwhile, Craig was on Paige's bed tuning the guitar, so he could show Manny the piece he was working on. He kept trying to get the right note but he kept getting frustrated. Manny came and sat down next to him. She put her hand on his where his finger were pressed on the strings.

"Don't stress. It's one note" Manny said

Craigs fingers on the stings loosened after Manny's touch. He looked at her. They were just staring for about 5 seconds. Until Craig pushed the guitar from his lap and put his hand on Manny's face and kissed her. She let him kiss her until he slowly pushed her back and he made out with her on the bed. Though they didn't do anything. (a/n: trust me they don't' do anything)

Manny came downstairs and went to J.T. and Emma and started talking. Craig followed to Nikkie, Jimmy, Paige, and Spinner. Craig was pulling on his jacket and fixing up his hair as he walked closer to Nikkie and everyone else.

"So where were you man" Jimmy asked

"Oh, I was around" Craig said

"Well we just found out there's another party at a club. All teenagers. But it's all the way downtown." Paige said

"Well are you guys going" Craig asked

"Well me and Spinner are going. What about you Marco... Hazel" Paige said

"Totally there" Hazel said

"Yeah, I'll be there" Marco said

"Well, Jimmy.Nikkie" Spinner said

"I'm good to go...what about you Nikkie" Jimmy said

"Well I want to go.but" Nikkie said

"But what" Paige said

"My mom wants me home at 11:00" Nikkie said

"OOOOO come on it's 10:35. Just come. Whats the worst she can do to you" Spinner said

"Well lets see.." Nikkie said

"Come on, she can't do something that big. Just make up your mind already" Hazel said

"Ok.but..oh forget it. When are we leaving" Nikkie said as she looked down at her cell phone and turned it off.

"Around 12...ok so lets just hang for a while and try to get things straightened out" Paige said

Around 11:45 the whole house was empty. Except Jimmy, Paige, Nikkie, Spinner, Craig, Marco, and Hazel were there cleaning up a little bit. At 12:00 they cleaned off and left the house. They walked to the train station. It was pitch dark outside. But they were fooling around and walking until they finally got to the train station. A few people from the school were there. Everyone else was either going home or already on a train. They waited about 5 minutes until the train came. They found an empty train car and all got in. Nikkie and Jimmy were sitting next to each other.

Nikkie had her head rested on Jimmy's shoulder and his fingers were laced with hers. He was looking out the window as he watched the dark trees pass faster and faster. Spinner was sitting quietly and Paige was on his lap wrapped around him with her head on his shoulder. Hazel and Marco were sitting talking to each other. Even though Marco felt a little uncomfortable. The train ride was quick though because it was going express. Craig was sitting all by himself looking out the window. Nikkie and Jimmy were in the seat right in front of him. So he couldn't help but strare. But at the same time he was thinking about what he had did with Manny.

When they arrived at their stop they all woke up from their sleepy gaze. They all began to get hyped up. They were all excited to get there. All of a sudden Nikkie see's Emma walking away from Manny with J.T. and Toby behind her. Nikkie looked back at everyone and said she would be right back. She ran a head to Emma. She past by Manny and looked back at her and caught up with Emma.

"Emma! Emma! What happened" Nikkie asked

Emma stopped and turned to Nikkie. "That little slut back there is a complete idiot" Emma said

"Wait..come down. What did she do" Nikkie asked

"Well first off she invited Sully to hang with us without even asking us, then she started putting her self all over him. She sat on top of him and started making out with him in front of the whole train car." Emma said

"Ok.I see but.forget it. Just don't..UUGGHH...just ignore her.Ok." Nikkie said frustrated. She didn't know how to fix their friendship. Emma had tried being friends with her after Manny's new look. But their friendship kept going back and forth.

Nikkie walked back to her friends who were already near her.

"So what was that all about" Hazel asked

"Just fighting again. They never stop" Nikkie said

They finally got to the building. They went inside and walked into the party room. Lights were flashing, the music was playing very loud, and a lots of people were there dancing. Nikkie had Jimmy's hand and she pulled him to a corner where it was quiet but you still hear the music. Everyone else was just dancing and talking. Jimmy had his hands on her waist and Nikkie had her arms wrapped around his neck. They were making out. Jimmy turned her against the wall and he kissed her there. He started moving down and started kissing her neck. She was smiling because it tickled her.

"Jimmy.." Nikkie said in a squeaky voice.

He was rubbing her behind her neck with his hand. She put her hands on his chest and she pushed him back. He backed away and grabbed her hand.

He brought her to the dance floor where she saw Sean dancing with Melissa a girl from school. Nikkie knew Emma and Sean had broken up, but she had no clue he found a new girlfriend that quickly. They were kissing each other and touching each other. Nikkie payed no mind and danced with Jimmy. The song "Get Busy" began to play. They were dancing and partying the night away. Around 2:30 Nikkie and Jimmy were sitting down with Paige and Craig while Hazel and the others were still dancing. The place was almost empty, so they were soon to be heading home. Spinner came up to them all and said

"You guys wanna start heading home."

"Yeah we should start leaving" Hazel said as she walked up behind Spinner.

"Ok.come on..but I'm getting hungry" Paige said

"Well..." Spinner said. He looked out the window and saw a open diner. "Let's go eat over there" Spinner added

"Restaurants are open this late" Hazel asked

"Yeah...obviously" Spinner said

Paige and the rest looked back out the window and got up and began walking out the door.

They went to the diner and ate a little and they left to the train station. It was about 3:30 now. They were almost there when they saw some other kids still waiting for a train. Manny and the others were there. Seemed that Emma and Manny worked things out......again. Nikkie went up to them and asked them all if they wanted to go to the beach party tomorrow. They said they would go. Then a train came and they got on. The train ride was slow because this time it was going local. When they all got off they walked together until they all began to split up to their homes. Everyone was gone except Nikkie and Jimmy. They were walking to Jimmy's place first to tell his parents that he would walk Nikkie home. No one was at his house though, so he went anyways.

When Nikkie walked up the porch she breathed in. She didn't know what to say. She was supposed to be home at 11:00 and it was now almost 4:00 in the morning. She opened the door and saw the lights on in the kitchen. Then she heard a voice coming from the kitchen.

"Nikkie come here now" Kayla yelled but in a soft tone.

Nikkie walked in with her arm wrapped in Jimmy's. "Yeah mom" she responded. She saw he mom in her blue robe and a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Hi Jimmy, you'll be staying here tonight because your parents called and said they were working till morning. First off tell me your curfew, Nikkie" Kayla said

"Mom I'm sor.." Nikkie stuttered

"No tell me your curfew" Kayla said

"11:00" Nikkie responded

"Ok..now what time is it" Kayla asked

"3:46" Nikkie said looking at her cell phone.

"Yes. I understand it's your first day of freedom from school. But please learn to keep your curfew. I'm going to let it slide. And this is an unusual punishment.but your curfew is pushed to 12:30. Ok. Because your old enough to be responsible of yourself. Ok" Kayla said

"O...K. Thanks mom. I'm gonna go to bed. Jimmy come I'll go pull out the cot upstairs" Nikkie said as she went upstairs and Jimmy followed.

When they got upstairs Nikkie put a cot on the floor and a comforter on top. She went to the bathroom and changed into her short black pajama shorts and grey tank top. She gave Jimmy a pair of her dads old shorts that fit him just fine. She climbed into bed with the lights on. She went under the covers and put her elbow on the pillow and the palm of her hand on her ear. She was looking at Jimmy. They were just talking.

"So did you have fun tonight" Jimmy asked

"Yeah..it was cool....being with you of course" Nikkie said. They both laughed. "Nah, but that party at that club was cool" Nikkie added

"Yeah, your right" Jimmy said

"Yeah, .....you know you could be right too" Nikkie said

"What do you mean" Jimmy said

"Well...." Nikkie said

"Well...whatever your talking about.what can I do to be right" Jimmy said

"Well....you can lock the door...and flick off the lights...and crawl in here with me" Nikkie said smiling. Jimmy smiled back and quickly got up.

He turned off the lights and locked the door. He kneeled onto the floor where he was now face to face with Nikkie. He kissed her and she moved over. He climbed into bed with and he cuddled her. He kissed her a few times. He put his arm around her neck and she cuddled onto his chest. She felt good to be lying next to the only one who was ever there for her. The night went on and they fell asleep. Even though Craig was another boy who was always there, she always knew Jimmy would be the first she would see.
