Where I'll Always Be

Chapter 14: Living in the clouds

Nikkie was in the waiting room in Jimmy's arms. She quickly noticed Manny's parents rushing into the hospital. Nikkie would of said something but she didn't know what to say. Craig came up to Nikkie.

"Nikkie can I talk to you" Craig said Nikkie looked up to see a worried look on his face.

"Um, sure" Nikkie got up and looked at Jimmy. She grabbed Craig's hand and walked down the hall with him. She took off her hat and straightened out her hair with her fingers. She looked at him and slowly stopped brushing her hair. That's when she saw his eyes getting watery.

"Craig..what's wrong" Nikkie asked

"A lot of things and I feel I can only tell you" Craig said as his body shook making his words come out in deep breaths.

"Ok tell me" Nikkie said.

"Manny's pregnant and I don't know what to do. How do I tell her parents" Craig said

"Wait. Wait. Back up. Manny's pregnant" Nikkie said in shock. Craig nodded.

"It was her" Nikkie said

"Come again" Craig said confused

"It was her. The rumor was about Manny wasn't it. They thought it was me but it was Manny" Nikkie said

"How is that possible if she found out after the party" Craig said

"Maybe she just seemed like she was or it's just a coinsidence that after a wrong rumor. It became true" Nikkie said

"Ok...but what am I going to do" Craig asked nervously

"First of all you need to breathe. Cause you won't make it if you don't breathe" Nikkie said. Craig took a deep breath and hugged Nikkie. She walked him back to the waiting room. But before they could both head all the way to the waiting room a nurse came up to them.

"Are you Nikkie and Craig" she asked

"Yeah" they both said

"Ok. Come with me" the nurse said. As she walked them down the hall she was talking to them.

"She was asking for you two. No one else. Not even her parents. She fainted because it seems she hasn't eaten anything. Typical for teenage pregnancies. She will tell you her problem. And just let her know that the best choice is to let her mother know" the lady said as she opened the door and let them into the room alone.

Manny was lying on the bed her hair pulled back and her hands on her stomach. She was on her side facing the window.

"Manny" Nikkie asked. Manny quickly sat up and began to tear. Nikkie went up to her and hugged her. Nikkie looked her in the face and pulled the hair of her face. Craig came to the other side.

"What do I do. Cause I honestly don't know" Manny said

"You mean us. You can't do it alone" Craig said. Manny smiled and Craig kissed Manny's forehead.

Manny's parents bursted in with the news yelling and arguing and Manny bursted into tears.

"LOOK I LOST THE BABY OK...NO NEED TO YELL. THAT NURSE HASN'T OBVIOUSLY GOTTEN THE NEWS FROM MY DOCTOR YET. HE TOLD ME I LOST IT OK. NOW ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU WANTED. BE SATISFIED. Manny yelled. Her parents stood in shock.

"LEAVE..PLEASE JUST LEAVE" Manny added

Her parents walked out leaving Nikkie and Craig. Manny laid back down and let the tears fall to her pillow. The nurse later came in to give her sleeping medicine. She fell asleep quickly. Manny had collapsed because she hadn't hardly eaten since she found out about her pregnancy. So she fainted. Nikkie and Craig looked at each other and left her to sleep. What kind of situation was this. Nikkie walked up to her porch with Craig.

"So I'll see you tomorrow" Nikkie said

"Yeah" Craig said in whatever-kind-of voice.

"Craig things will work out. Keep you chin up" Nikkie said

"It's not that. It's just I'm getting second thoughts" Craig said

"About" Nikkie said

"Manny's a great girl. But I don't feel like the way she wants me to" Craig said. Nikkie looked at him oddly

"Then why did you get her pregnant" Nikkie said as she folded her arms.

"I didn't mean to... but I guess that can't be a reason to leave her. And she hasn't been really a girlfriend type with me. I mean before she used to hug up on me and I didn't really like it. Now that I am with her and I want to kiss her. She pulls away" Craig said

"Maybe she is stressed" Nikkie said

"No.. she went out with J.T. and I think she likes him" Craig said

"She did" Nikkie asked

"Yeah...and I feel rejected" Craig said as he smirked a little. Nikkie giggled a little.

"Well we'll figure something out. But I am feeling tired so I'll see you" Nikkie said and she hugged him.

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

The next day Nikkie watched the plane take off. She cried. But she knew it was time for them to leave. Nikkie went to Emma's to find out about the trip. The trip was once again delayed until the week before school. But they broke the secret. It was a trip to New York. They were going to stay at a 5 star hotel on 42st. Nikkie was so excited when she heard the news. She had never been to anywhere out of Virginia except her current residence in Canada. Emma's mom been calling so many foundations. She finally called the make-a-wish program for people who are living with sicknesses and don't have fun. They were offered a unlimited guest invite. A 2 night stay at a 5 star hotel in New York and a unlimited sightseeing and 10,00 dollars in cash for shopping.

Nikkie was sitting on her couch when Craig came knocking on her door.

"Craig what's wrong" Nikkie said

"Guess what" Craig said

"You'd think I might be the one to do what she did" Craig said

"She did what" Nikkie said

"She dumped me for.....J.T." Craig said

"Oh really. well I guess you don't have to deal with her then" Nikkie said

"But the way she said it. She said it was really time to get over me. So I should of went with J.T. a long time ago..can you believe she said that" Craig said

"Actually I do. Isn't that what you wanted. Because your over reacting here" Nikkie said

"Your right. Imma go. I have to hurry and take Angie to the movies before Joey and Sydney get a little to comfortable on the couch or a little too comfortable" Craig said as he laughed. Nikkie laughed too.

"How bout I bring Alexa" Nikkie said

"I'd like that" Craig said

They all went to the movies and came back a little while later. Angie and Alexa were up in Angie's room. Craig and Nikkie were sitting on the couch.

"So what are we gonna do now" Nikkie asked

"I have no clue" Craig said

"So what's up with you and Ashley. You guys never finished up your relationship after the Valentines day dance last year" Nikkie said

"Well ever since summer began we hardly even acted like we knew each other. Even way before that" Craig said.

"OOHHH. I think I'm gonna head home. I promised Jimmy I would go over to his house." Nikkie said

"Oh...so I'll call you later" he said as he got up and watched her get her jacket on.

"Alexa come on we are leaving" Nikkie called up the stairs

Alexa came down and slipped on her tiny sweater.

"I'll see you" Nikkie said and left. Craig watched her disappear down the block.

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

Nikkie dropped off Alexa and went straight to Jimmy's house. Nikkie knocked on the door and Jimmy opened up.

"Hey baby" Jimmy said

"Hey" Nikkie said as she kissed quickly. Nikkie looked around. "You here alone" she added

"Yeah my parents went out to dinner" Jimmy said as he closed the door.

"Oh so we have the place for only us...right" Nikkie said as she walked closer to Jimmy and placed her arms around his neck.

"Yeah..and they won't be back till late so...." Jimmy said as he lowered his voice pitch into a sexy deep voice.

"So we could do whatever comes to mind" Nikkie said as she moved her head in closer and Jimmy wrapped his arms around her pressing her body more against his.

"Basically" Jimmy said as he smiled a bit.

"Did you plan this" Nikkie asked with a little smile on her face

"No..I just have good timing" Jimmy said.

He leaned in his head closer. Nikkie smiled and closed her eyes and kissed him. She always lost herself every time she sunk deeper into the kisses her and Jimmy shared. She reached one hand to the back of his neck and the other reached down touching his shoulder. He picked her up and brought her to his room. He kicked the door closed and sat her on the bed.

There lips seperated as they found comfortable spot on his bed. She laid down and he arched over. She pulled him into another kiss. He reached over to his night table opened the drawer and pulled something out. Then he reached out and turned off the lamp. The room went dark. But not too dark. He began to lift up Nikkie's shirt. Nikkie closed her eyes and licked her lips as Jimmy kissed her neck. She began to breathe deeper and deeper. Nikkie turned over and came on top of Jimmy's body. She kissed him as she reached down and unbuckled Jimmy's belt. He stopped kissing her and once again arched his body over hers. Nikkie lifted his shirt and threw it on the floor. Jimmy slipped off the belt and threw it. Their lips parted.

"I'll be right back" Jimmy said as he went to the bathroom. Meanwhile Nikkie slipped off her pants. She was left in her bra and panties. She went under the covers. Jimmy came back with his pants in his hands. He threw it onto his computer desk and went under the covers on top of Nikkie. He pressed his lips against hers and he played with her tongue. He kissed her and looked at her. They stared into each others eyes. Nikkie put on a tiny little smile. Then the phone rang. Nikkie took the smile off her face and rolled her eyes and groaned.

"Don't worry. There's something called a answering machine" Jimmy said. Nikkie smiled and pulled him into a kiss. He was about bring on the love making when the person who called left a message.

"Jimmy, dude pick up. I know your there. Come on please man. We were supposed to get the stuff for the picnic tomorrow... Fine call me when you can" the person said. Obviously it was Spinner.

"Man... I completely forgot" Jimmy said

"Forgot what" Nikkie asked

"The picnic. Me, Spinner, Craig and Marco promised to bring supplies tomorrow morning. We are performing at the picnic" Jimmy said

"So I guess that I should go then" Nikkie said

"No I'll do it later" Jimmy said

"No, you need to help Craig with the instruments." Nikkie said

"Are you sure" Jimmy asked

"Yeah" Nikkie said. Jimmy smiled and kissed her passionately

"Thanks. How about you come with us" Jimmy said as Nikkie pulled on her shirt and pants. Jimmy as well got dressed.

It was around 7:00 now and Jimmy and Nikkie were walking to Craig's house. They went through the back to the garage where they found Spinner Marco and Craig packing the instruments. They finished up and went to The Dot Grill for a while.

Around 10 they all went home. Nikkie walked in and went to sleep.
