Where I'll Always Be
Chapter 5: Tuff E nuff
As Jimmy walked towards them, Jimmy rounded up his hands as if he was about to hit someone.
"JIMMY!!!" Nikkie yelled and cried "Help me.please"
"Back off of her" Jimmy said as he pushed the boy.
"No, are you supposed to be her boyfriend or something" the boy said
"Actually..yes" Jimmy said
"Well she is with me now" the boy responded
Jimmy tried to get his hands off of her but he wouldn't let go. She struggles as he held her in a tighter grip.
"Get off of her DEAN!!!" Jimmy yelled. The crowd went silent and everyone turned to the situation.
Nikkie stopped moving around. A strand of hair was in her face and her face was a little sweaty. Her heart stopped and she remembered what Emma had told her.
"Wait a minute...your Dean" Nikkie said
"Oh.so you heard about me" Dean said
Nikkie's chin shivered in fear as a tear came down her face. She looked down at the floor. She was upset that this was the scary person that touched her friend. She felt so guilty that she yelled at Paige.
"Nikkie..are you ok? ..Dean get off of her" Jimmy said.
"Fine" Dean yelled. He let her go and she dropped to the floor. She was curled on the floor. Jimmy bent over and looked at her. He pushed back the hair from her face to behind her ear. She was crying softly. When Jimmy touched her cheek and she turned her head. Jimmy got angry and got back up and looked at Dean.
"You" Jimmy said
"Yeah..me what" Dean said
Jimmy punched him in the face and hit his lip. Dean's head came back up from the swing and touched his lip. He licked it and smiled.
"Didn't hurt a bit" Dean said. Dean tackled him to the floor and Jimmy turned him over and began to punch Dean in the face. Nikkie began to cry a little harder as Craig came up behind her and picked her up from the middle of the floor. He looked at her then went to help break up the fight. Nikkie watched as the trouble she caused turned into what she didn't expect. Emma came up behind her and brought her to the side.
"Emma.. I started it...it was my fault. I deserved it. I danced with him and I got what I didn't deserve" Nikkie cried
Emma leaned her head on her shoulder.
"What are you talking about" Emma asked
"That was Dean...he was touching me and Jimmy came and hit him" Nikkie said sobbing.
"Dean...you were with Dean" Manny said
"Yeah...I didn't know it was him until Jimmy said his name" Nikkie said to them both.
The crowd calmed down and Craig came up to Nikkie.
"Are you ok..did he hurt you" Craig asked
"Yeah...I'm fine. Where's Jimmy" Nikkie said
"He's outside cooling off" Craig said.
Nikkie looked at Emma and then at Manny who was on her other side. She looked down and brushed up her messy hair. She got up and touched Craig's shoulder.
"I'll be right back..don't leave" Nikkie said. Craig nodded and sat in Nikkie's seat.
Nikkie made her way through the crowd. She opened up the doors and walked up the stairs. She walked around in the dark looking around. She didn't see anyone. Then she heard a voice.
"Are you looking for me" the voice said. Nikkie turned around and saw Jimmy sitting on the bench with a bruise under his eye.
"Jimmy....I-am-so-sorry" Nikkie said
"Why were you with him" Jimmy asked
"I was waiting for you...and I couldn't help but dance. The he came up behind me and started dancing...I didn't mind until he began to.." Jimmy cut her off.
"So you didn't know him" Jimmy said
"No. Not until you said his name" Nikkie said
Jimmy stayed shut and looked at his knuckles. They were red. She went and sat next to him. She put her hand over the red knuckles and looked down and then looked at him in the face. She lifted her hand and touched his eye. He squinted. And she immediately moved her hand from his face.
"I'm sorry Jimmy. But I'll tell you one thing...if you weren't there...I'd probably be in the worst situation" Nikkie said
"What if I wasn't there..would you have told me?" Jimmy asked
"Of course" Nikkie said
Nikkie looked at him and then kissed him.
"Do you wanna stick around or do you wanna go home" Nikkie asked
"I'm staying" Jimmy said
"Cool...the lets go inside" Nikke said
She grabbed his hand and they went inside. Around 11:30 they all decided to head home. Emma stayed over at Nikkie's and Craig, Manny and Jimmy went home. Craig was walking Manny home. They got to the front of her house.
"So.." Manny said
"So" Craig repeated
"Tonight was crazy" Manny said
"Yeah" Craig said
"Craig...how long are we going to pretend like nothing happened at Paige's party" Manny said
"Umm..well" Craig said
"Craig I like you...and if you with Ashl.." Craig cut her off and kissed her. He pulled back and she opened her eyes.
"What were you going to say" Craig asked
"Nothing, you answered my question" Manny said
Craig smiled. "Do you want to come inside..my parents are probably sleeping" Manny asked
"Sure" Craig said
Manny opened the door and found the lights off. She put down her purse and Craig followed her to the stairs. They went into her bedroom and he sat on her bed. She took off her jacket and threw it on her computer chair. She was in her light blue skirt and khakii colored shirt and her hair was in a messy ponytail.
"I'll be right back" Manny said as she headed into the bathroom.
Craig looked around the room. He looked at the posters on the wall. She walked back in with her hair cleaned up a little more. She turned up the light on her lamp close to her bed. She then turned on some music. The song "Crazy over You" from 112 played. She looked at Craig.
"So have you been working on your media immersion project" Manny asked as she turned on her computer.
"Yeah" Craig said. Manny didn't sit down on the chair. She stayed standing looking through her e-mails. Then Craig got up and went behind her and touched her hip. She turned around and looked at Craig.
"Craig" Manny said
Craig put his hand on her face and kissed her. Manny touched the hand that was touching her face. He leaned her against the rim of the bed. She sat on the bed and she kept pushing herself back. He followed her, lips still stuck to hers. She layed down and he was on top of her. She began to lift his shirt. He was touching her face and kissing her neck. Soon enough their clothes disappeared and were laying on the floor. With that evidence...I'm sure you would know what they did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Nikkie was up and at the park with Raylese and Alexa. Nikkie wanted to be in silence so she went to the swings. She went back and forth slowly. The sun came down on her face and she glowed. Then Paige came upon the scene.
"Hey Nikkie" Paige said.
Nikkie looked up at her then she looked at Alexa.
"Nikkie I'm sorry" Paige said
"I know you are" Nikkie said
"Then why are you acting like this" Paige said
"Because...if I would of known earlier maybe I could of been saved" Nikkie said
"What are you talking about" Paige said
"I was with Dean last night" Nikkie said
"What..did he.." Paige said in shock
"No..lucky enough, Jimmy saved me" Nikkie said
"Well then you're a lucky one" Paige said
"No..it's not the luck, it's about being aware of the situation. If Jimmy would not have came I would have been in your position"
"Well, even though something bad didn't happen to you. You now realize that it's not that easy to talk about. I'm not going to be laughing with my friends in a conversation and then pop out with the fact that I was touched and raped" Paige said
"I know.....and I'm sorry" Nikkie said
"I am too, I mean for not telling you" Paige said
"Promise not to keep anything else from each other" Paige added
"Yeah.promise. Now that were friends again, like weren't before, now we can enjoy the company that is coming on the weekend. My other friends are coming" Nikkie said
"Cool...well I have to head home. I have to go pick up my dads medicine from the pharmacy" Paige said
"Ok...call me later" Nikkie said
"As always" Paige said
(A/N: to inform you Manny already told Nikkie about her little passionate moment with Craig.LoL)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nikkie was getting bored at the park so she told Raylese that she would be home a little later. She walked down the street. She passed her house and kept going. Then she passed by Sean's and didn't even bother. He was probably with that girl Melissa. Then she finally stood in front of Craig's house. She went up to the porch and rang the doorbell.
"Hey Nikkie" Joey said
"Hey Mr. Jeramiah" Nikkie responded
"CRAIG" he yelled. Craig came up to the door and opened his eyes. Nikkie gave a weird look too.
"Surprised to see you too" Nikkie said raising her eyebrow
"No, no it's just that I wasn't expecting company" Craig said
"So you gonna let me in or what" Nikkie said
"Um, well..see I'm sort of..well" Craig said
"Oh please Craig what are you hiding" Nikkie said. She pushed his hand from the rim of the door way and let herself in. She walked into the living room and saw a girl sitting on the couch. She turned around and looked at Craig.
She whispered. "You weren't expecting company" Nikkie said with a attitude. The person turned around and said hi to Nikkie. Nikkie knew who this girl was. She looked at her face and realized her lip gloss was smudged.
"Um..in fact I have to go" Nikkie said nervously. She looked around backing up nervously.
"No you just got here" Ashley said
"No..I have to go home..I have to help make dinner" Nikkie running out the doorway
"Wait Nikkie" Craig said following her
"No" she said hitting the bottom of the steps.
"What's your problem" Craig said grabbing her and spinning her around
"My problem..I have no problem. I'm only being a good friend" Nikkei said
"What...what do you mean" Craig asked
"I mean your gonna hurt the poor girl all over again. I mean you kiss her then you let yourself onto her bed and then your caught with another girl. It's just wrong" Nikkie yelled. She left him eyes open.
"Sh-she told you" Craig stuttered
"Yeah she did. At least she tells the truth and she doesn't lie and cheat. As for you I thought you were better than that" Nikkie said
"Nikkie you got this all wrong" Craig cried out
"Save it. Your just hurting yourself" Nikkie said. She turned around and walked out the door. Craig stood there in shock, pain and misery. How was he going to win Nikkie's trust again as a friend? How was he going to get Manny back? And what made Nikkie think that he cheated on Manny with Ashley? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. One question at a time....one at a time!!!
As for Nikkie, she was on her way to Manny's house. Somewhere soon Manny was going to find out. Might as well be from one of her closest friends.
