Where I'll Always Be
Chapter 27: Hurting me all over!
The next day Nikkie was in lunch sitting with Manny and Paige. They were talking about all the tests coming up.
"So Nikkie. Planning on going to the dance in May" Manny asked
"I'm not exactly sure. I don't think I'm gonna make it" Nikkie said
"Why" Paige said "Don't tell me because of Jimmy" Nikkie nodded. "Come on get over him. I havn't talked to Hazel for it either. But you shouldn't miss a perfectly good dance over a guy" Paige said
"She's right you know" Manny said
"But you know what the funny thing is....Hazel showed up at my birthday party depressed. She asked me for advice on a guy she had been crushing on. And like an idiot I gave her the advice" Nikkie said
"Hey, your not an idiot. She just tricked you" Manny said putting an arm around Nikkie.
"Don't pressure yourself....in fact you are going, with me and Manny and all the girls and your gonna have fun. What do you say. It's either mope for Jimmy or party" Paige said
"..................Whose Jimmy" Nikkie said smiling
"Great hun. I got to go and find Spin, see you guys later" Paige said leaving while Manny smiled exstaticly at Nikkie.

Nikkie stood at her locker talking to Emma.
"So what's your plans for college" Nikkie asked Emma
"Hey, I was thinking about that a few days ago. But we do have one more year of High School to decide" Emma said
"Where are you planning on going" Nikkie asked
"Somewhere in the states" Emma said "You" Emma added
"Well, my sister told me the New York enviornment is totally me" Nikkie said
"Cool, look I need to go to meet Toby for this stupid science presentation. See you later" Emma said.
Nikkie opened her locker and pulled out her jacket and bookbag. Suddenly someone tapped her on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Jimmy.
"Can we talk, please" Jimmy asked looking brutally crushed.....still.
"About what" Nikkie asked
"You know exactly what we need to talk about" Jimmy said
"I can't classes are about to start" Nikkie said closing her locker and walking to her next class. Jimmy grabbed her shoulder and turned her around.
"I don't care we need to talk. I know you've been feeling like crap. And you can't deny it. So please just stop" Jimmy said his voice getting a little louder.
"No, I don't wanna talk" Nikkie said
"Nikkie" he yelled but then stopped making Nikkie froze. Her eyes began to water. "Please, I want to talk. I need to talk" Jimmy added
Nikkie slowly turned around revealing tears rolling down her face. She looked down. She looked up.
"I wanna talk too" Nikkie said. Jimmy came up to her and hugged her. They walked out of Degrassi and walked to the park. She sat on the swings.
"Ok, first off I wanna say....I'm really sorry for what happened between me and Hazel. It meant nothing and......" Jimmy said then stopped because Nikkie interrupted.
"Stop. I should be saying sorry. I was acting stupid and I made it into a big deal, when it wasn't anything at all" Nikkie said
"But I knew about it for a long time" Jimmy said "I was afraid to tell you about it" Jimmy added.
"But there was no need for me to throw a tantrum" Nikkie insisted
"Look, we both did things that were wrong, and we both feel guilty for it. I'm sorry" Jimmy said
"For now on it's total honesty between me and you" Nikkie said. Jimmy froze. He was hiding a secret. He winced and said
"Total honesty" and hugged her feeling guilty for lying to her....again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nikkie was at school talking with Craig. They had the weirdest relationship. One day they are yelling and talking about how what they did was horrible, the next they are cool like nothing ever occured a few days before. Jimmy came up behind her and hugged her waist and kissed her neck.
"Y-your back together" Craig asked
"Yup, long story, but it happened yesterday" Nikkie said
"Good, I was hoping it would happen soon" Craig said. Nikkie looked at him weird, like she knew he was hiding something and he was trying to hold back from saying anything stupid. Paige came towards them and looked up and down at Nikkie and Jimmy's postion which was Jimmy's arms around her.
"So when did this happen again" Paige asked crossing arms knowing something was weird.
"Yesterday, isn't it great, no more fighting and I can actually look forward to a dance, with a date" Nikkie said
"I thought me and the girls were your dates" Paige said
"Well, change of plans. I need to get to homeroom early. Have to talk to Mr. Simpson about my research report" Nikkie said. Nikkie walked away with Jimmy behind her. Paige watched them.....more like Jimmy....walking away. She looked a bit disgusted.
"What's with you Paige" Craig asked her
"That, didn't you see that" Paige said
"Yeah, Nikkie and Jimmy back together. So, point is " Craig said
"So point is, it seems way too soon to be getting back together. Me and Spinner spent longer not talking when he ''accidentally'' called me fat" Paige said quoting accidentally with her fingers. "It's too soon" Paige said
"Where is this leading to" Craig asked Paige
"Somethings bound to happen to them again. It's too obvious. Something is gonna interfere. And it's bound to happen anyday. And it usually happens early. So if I were you, I'd keep good eyes on her. She could break down worse with more news, especially after that Hazel incident" Paige said "Promise me" Paige added
"Ok, ok. I will" Craig said
"See you hun.....remember" she added as she walked away towards Spinner who was hanging out beside the boys bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was May first. Nikkie bought her dress for the dance. It was black and it reached to her knees. But it fell from and angle. Form below her hip to a little above her knee. She was in English class. In her white celtics jersey dress that had the green stipes on the side. She had on her all white nikes. Her hair was down staright and she had on her star shaped dangle earrings. She was reading her notes quietly.
"Hey, how's everything with you and Jimmy" Paige whispered to her
"Good, why" Nikkie replied
"Nothing, just wondering how the strength of the relationship is coming along" Paige lied
"So, did you get you dress for the dance" Nikkie asked. But before she could answer Ms. Kwan came up to her table.
"Girls, please. As if not studying at all is bad, talking makes the record worse. Now please get back to your own books" she said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nikkie was in her living room still wearing the clothes she was wearing that afternoon. Jimmy came knocking on her door.
"Nikkie, can we go to the park. I wanna talk" Jimmy said
"What, why. What's wrong" Nikkie asked
"Nothing, I just wana talk to you" Jimmy said
"Ok" she said. She slipped on her tight white thin hoody and left with him.
It was geting a little dark outside. She sat on the swing. He sat on the other one.
"So what do you wanna talk about that was so important that you brought me to the park" Nikkie said
"Look, we promised each other honesty, right" Jimmy asked
"Yeah" Nikkie said
"Look, I did some things in the past that I'm really regreting" Jimmy said
"What" Nikkie said
"You remember that night, you were at that party in Hug's and Kisses (chapter 4)." Jimmy said. Nikkie nodded.
"Well, before I called I was with a girl. It wasn't purposly, I-" Jimmy stopped
"What" Nikkie yelled and still sounding confused
"My cousin had came from cross town and he came with two friends. One guy and one girl. My cousin and his friend went to the store for a while. She asked me if I had a girl. I said yes. She came on to me. And I refused. She supposedly gave up and got us some drinks from the fridge. Little did I know she slipped a drug in my drink. I got high. And things happened" Jimmy said. By know Nikkie had tears rolling down her cheek.
"What things happened" Nikkie asked sounding mad.
"She, she forced me to.....well do it with her" Jimmy said. Nikkie stood up. He grabbed her arm.
"DON'T TOUCH ME" she yelled. She froze. She turned to him and slapped him. She let out a deep breathe. She ran away down the block.
Jimmy stayed silent. He was shocked that she would take it this way.
Nikkie ran down the block. She stopped. Little did she know she was on Craig's block. He legs were weak from running. She stopped and dropped herself on the cement floor. Her legs were under her and she sat on one leg and the rest on the floor. Her knees were killing her from the running and the scraping the cement floor gave her. She put her hands in her face and cried.
Suddenly Nikkie didn't notice Craig going out front to throw out the trash. He heard crying her turned to the side and saw her. The street lights gave her away. He ran over to her.
"Nikkie, what happened" he asked.
"I can't walk"she cried to him
"That's not it" Craig said
"My legs hurt, Craig, they hurt" she cried. She wrapped her arms around her neck and he picked her up. He went around and took her to the garage. He layed her on the couch.
"I'll be right back" he said. He ran inside to get bandages.
He came back and cleaned her cuts. He put on the bandages on her.
"Now, tell me what happened" he asked her.
"Remember that night *sniff* that we were at that club for some free time. And Jimmy came and fought with Dean. *sniff*. Well before he showed up, he had been with another girl. And they messed around big time" Nikkie said tearing up again
"I'm sorry, I need to go do something" Craig said. He secretly went to his room and called Paige. He told her everything that happened.
