Where I'll Always Be
Chapter 28: Breathe or it all falls down
Craig walked back into the room. Nikkie was trying to stand up. She limped a little because when she dropped to the ground she had sat down on her ankle with alot of pressure from the drop. She felt horrible. Her head was killing her. Craig brought her a ice pack to put on her ankle.
"So, you wanna stay here the night" Craig asked her
"If you don't mind" Nikkie said
"Not at all" Craig said. There was silence in the room. But Nikkie broke it.
"Craig" Nikkie said
"Yeah" he said
"Why is it that everytime I'm hurting, you somehow end up right next to me" Nikkie asked
"I don't know" Craig replied
"I'm glad your apart of my life, because if you weren't.....I'd probably be a wreck" Nikkie said
He smiled as he grabbd her hand to help her up from the couch in the garage. He helped her up. She limped a little.
"You can sleep in my room. I'll sleep on the couch" Craig suggested
"Are you sure" Nikkie asked
"I'm posotive" Craig said helping her up the steps. When they finally arrived up the steps she sat on the bed. He went into his dresser and gave her a long t-shirt.
"I'll see you in the morning ok" Craig said standing by the door
"Come here" Nikkie said
"What" he asked as he walked over to her. Nikkie pulled herself up and kissed him on the cheek and whispered in his ear. "Thank you". He just smiled and left the room. Nikkie had changed and slipped under the covers. She found it kind of hard to fall asleep. She was tired but too much ran through her mind at one time. She was scrunched up. Out of the blue she started crying. It seemed that that was the only way she could express the pain and hell that had just vacationed itself in her life. She couldn't help it.
Craig got up to use the bathroom. He went into the bathroom and soon came out. While passing his room he heard sniffles and weeps. He cracked open the door and found Nikkie curled up with her hand cupped over her mouth and her face flushed and wet.
"Nikkie.....it's ok" Craig said as he sat next to her.
"No. Why would Jimmy do this to me" Nikkie asked
"I don't know" Craig said
"It's not fair, I wish Kayla's mom would of never gotten sick. I would still be in Virginia living my life normally. Ever since I moved here all it's been is drama" Nikkie said
"Don't say that" Craig said
"Why shouldn't I" Nikkie asked kind of mad and still crying.
"Because, you wouldn't have the friends you have" Craig said
"Yeah, what great friend Hazel is" Nikkie said
"Forget Hazel, you have way more than that. Your friends with everyone. Grade 11 and 10. Your an amazing person. And you know you wouldn't had had this kind of life back in Virginia" Craig said
"But the pain I recieved is too much for me to handle. And maybe just maybe I could have my dad back" Nikkie said
Craig held her tight. He lied down next to her. She fell alseep after 10 minutes. He thought about when Nikkie had said thank you for being there during her times. He smiled and kissed her forehead and whispered "Your Welcome". He got up and went backstairs as she slept peacefully.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nikke was finally home peacefully. She had fallen asleep again after arriving. Her mother understood the excuse that Nikkie gave her. That she had fallen and hurt her foot and then that she had completely forgotten to call. Nikkie got up limping to take a shower. She was late for school but she would go in late. She slipped on grey sweatpants, a black plain tight t-shirt and her black, grey and white low top nikes. She curled her hair making it look wavy and greasy. She slipped on her white tight hoody and left to school limping. But it wasn't a big limp. It was just hurting making her limp. She walked into 3rd period science with her late pass.
Everyone stared at her. Even Jimmy. Nikkie stood at the door looking at everyone who stared at her.
"Geez, have you never seen a human before" Nikkie said
She limped towards her seat to sit next to her lab partner Paige.
"Hey, what happened to your leg" Paige asked
"I landed on it. It hurts really bad" Nikkie said
"Ouch. So where wereyou last night. I tried calling you. Let me guess.....I was with Jimmy" Paige said imitating Nikkie saying that she was with Jimmy. She was trying to see if Nikkie would tell her what happened the night before. Because she knew since Craig called
"Please, that's the last place I would be" Nikkie said
"What, what happened" Paige asked
"Long story. I'll tell you later" Nikkie said taking out her notebook and started copying down the notes from the board.
Nikkie and Paige walked to there next period class. Nikkie told her everything. Paige tried to play it off like it was her first time hearing the news. Nikkie sat in her seat in art class. Jimmy walked in and looked around. He saw the only empty seat in the room next to Nikkie. He sighed and went towards it. Paige saw his reaction. She grabbed her bag and immediatly sat next to Nikkie. She smiled at Nikkie. Jimmy was standing beside Paige. She looked up at him and gave him a dirty look and rolled her eyes and started talking with Nikkie. Jimmy turned and waked towards the back of the room. Paige looked over her shoulder at him and went back to the conversation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was lunch and everyone was outside. Nikkie was with Paige. Jimmy was at a far bench under the shade of a large tree. He had his headphones on listening to "I don't wanna know" by Mario Winans. Spinner was next to him talking to Marco.
Nikkie was confused. Her mind kept jumping, back and forth. First it was I hate Jimmy then No I love him, then it jumps back to hate. She loved him but she hated what he had done. But she wasn't able to forgive him.
When she got home that afternoon she went on her computer and checked her e-mail, she saw one from Jimmy that he had sent her beofre he told his secret. It read:
-Hey baby, wat you doing. You got your away message on. Must be important. So i'll talk to you later baby.
She signed off after reading it. She saw the picture on her desktop. It was the picture of them both on Times Square when they went to New York. She touched the screen which pointed to his face. She clicked to properties and changed the desktop to Sunset on Paradise, which was a tropical island with a palm tree and a beautiful sunset.
She walked over to her window. The sun was setting slowly. Suddenly she saw Jimmy walking down the sidewalk kicking rocks into the street. He looked miserable. He had his hands dug into his pockets and his head looking down. When he arrived in front of her house he stopped and looked up at the house. He looked at Nikkie's window and saw her sitting on the window sill. She saw him and gasped. She stood silent. Suddenly Kayla called Nikkie's name. Nikkie turned and then looked back to the window. She got up and closed the window and closed the shades. She opened her door and went downstairs.
Jimmy looked own after he saw the shades close. He missed Nikkie sooooo much. He regreted every moment he had hurt her, but he never regreted a single moment of love with her. He would give anything to have her back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Nikkie was at homeroom waiting for everyone to arrive. She was in her pink, orange and white pepe jeans dress that went up to a few inches abover her knee, and a white denim jacket that said "PEPE" in orange an pink. She had the matching purse. Her hair was down straight. She had on brand new cripsy all white high top uptowns. She was reviewing her research before she printed it. Suddenly Ashley came in and sat next to her.
"Hey, whatcha doing" Ashley asked Nikkie
"Nothing, printing my research project" Nikkie said
"Love the dress. So I heard about Jimmy, bummer. But you can live. Wanna go to the movies tonight" Ashley asked
"Can't, I need to watch my sister. But you can come over if you want. Maybe we can gather the rest of the girls" Nikkie said
"Cool, well gotta get going" Ashley said and walked away.
That night Paige, Emma, Manny, Ashley, and Ellie were in Nikkie's room. They stayed a while and talked. After leaving Nikkie cleaned up her room. Nikkie felt tears coming on. She felt them because Paige had just told her how Jimmy told Spinner things about how he was feeling. And Spinner being the honeybee's gossip advisor, told Paige, and Paige told Nikkie. She grabbed her sheet and took it outside onto the roof. She slipped on her denim jacket and cuddled her knees against her chest. A car came buy across the street playing the radio really loud. The song "My Immortal" by Evanessance played. She closed her eyes tight. But a tear peeked through the sealed eyelids.
Nikkie couldn't hold it. She would have loved to go back to Jimmy. But she couldn't. She was too mad, yet upset. She would seem weak enough to give in if she ran back to him. And it sucked to know she couldn't do it. She leaned her chin on her knee. She cried. It was all to hard to believe. But somehow she had to deal. Even if it meant making a mistake.
