Nothing Stays the Same

Chapter 2: Reminisce

Nikkie was in her room getting ready to head over to Jimmy's house. She was getting these weird flashbacks. The day she kissed Craig at his house while she was supposedly looking through college books. She slipped on her white on white nikes and her light blue jeans, and her black tank top, and her thin red, black and white motorcycle jacket. She straightened out her hair and slipped on her medium sized silver hoops. Then she put on her thin red belt. She walked downstairs.

"Where are you going" Raylese asked Nikkie

"I'm going off to see Jimmy...why" Nikkie asked as she poured herself some orange juice

"No reason, I mean it's noon and your already going out" Raylese said

"Well, I told Jimmy I'd be there early. I mean he's leaving tomorrow, so it's just me and him today" Nikkie said

"Ok, then but be back before 11:00, your lucky cause mom's working late again" Raylese said

"Fine" Nikkie said walking out the kitchen door


Nikkie walked towards Jimmy's building. She turned to the parking lot and saw his car parked. She walked up to the passenger door and looked into the window. She could see Jimmy looking through his cellphone. She knocked on the window. He looked up and saw his girlfriend looking nice with her hands in her jacket pocket. He smiled as he closed his phone. He unlocked the door and she sat inside and closed the door behind her.

"It's still a bit cold out there" Nikkie said before she leaned over and gave him a kiss

"I know...but when your with me, you will never have to complain about the cold again" Jimmy said. Nikkie smiled.

"Oh really, show me how you do so" she giggled as she leaned in and kissed him...deep.

They finally pulled away from each other.

"Ok, what's on the schedule today" Nikkie said

"Ummm...I was thinking just to The Dot, then just have a drive around" Jimmy suggested

"Ok, cool" Nikkie said

Jimmy drove toward The Dot. He parked his car and they went inside and ordered lunch. They ate and talked for a while.

"Ok, I was thinking. I'm going off to Delaware tomorrow. I can't just have my car parked in a lot to collect dust. So I was thinking you take it while I'm gone" Jimmy said

"What!" Nikkie literally yelled

"Yeah, I mean your boyfriend- slash- driver's not gonna be here, so maybe you could do it yourself" Jimmy said

"Are you serious, that cars your baby" Nikkie said

"But I trust you" he said dangling the keys in her face.

She smiled. She took the keys and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Can I drive now, please" Nikkie asked him

"Ok, we should go now anyways" Jimmy said grabbing his soda and walking out with Nikkie behind him.

Nikkie got into the driver's seat. She started the car. She turned the radio to where they were playing "99 Problems" by Jay-Z. She drove out and began to drive further away from The Dot.

"So where exactly am I driving to" Nikkie asked Jimmy.

"Anywhere, just... let's get out of town" Jimmy said

"Alright then" Nikkie said.

They were stuck in a bit of traffic. But they were just singing the lyrics to ''99 problems".

Jimmy sang "Son do you know why I'm stopping you for"

"Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats real low. Do I look like a mind reader, sir I don't know. Am I under arrest or should i guess some mo" Nikkie sang

"Well you was doin' 55 in a 54" Jimmy sang

They were laughing and singing it all the way until they got out of traffic. They drove off to somewhere far. Nikkie started feeling a bit odd. She started having flashbacks. That night, the night that hurt her the most. Not only had she been drugged and raped, but she didn't have Jimmy have to protect her at that moment. She wasn't paying attention to the road. All she could hear was Jimmy yelling, but had no reason why.

"NIKKIE, Nikkie!!" Jimmy yelled

"WHAT! what!" Nikkie yelled

"Watch the road" he yelled

"What" Nikkie yelled

"THE ROAD!" he yelled to her. Nikkie looked foward and she saw the red light and she was inches away from hitting the car in front of her. She hit the brake. And they came to a harsh stop. Nikkie and Jimmy's back hit the seat.

"Damnit" Nikkie said out loud. She dug her face in her palms. "Shit, shit, shit" she kept saying to herself under her breathe.

"Maybe I shouldn't leave you the car" Jimmy said to her sounding kind of upset.

Nikkie was about to respond to that but she got startled when the car behing her was repeatedly honking his horn. She saw the green light and drove and pulled over to a corner. She turned off the car. And looked down at her hands with her eyes getting watery. Jimmy looked at her still kind of upset. But then he realized something happened. Something had distracted her.

"Nikkie what happened" he asked her putting his hand on her back. She was shaking her head, trying to to bring herself back to reality.

"Nikkie" he said softly rubbing her back and slowly trying to lift her head with his other hand. "What's wrong" he added

She finally lifted her head. She had a few tears rolling down her cheek. "Jimmy, it's all coming back" Nikkie said

"What's coming back" Jimmy asked her as he took her hand

"The night....of the dance. It happened...here. It happened right here" Nikkie cried "I remember it when they brought me home...I remember turning the corner to the building" Nikkie said

"Nikkie you have to tell someone" Jimmy told her

"I can't, I can't tell anyone Jimmy" Nikkie cried

"But Nikkie look at you, you can't even stand the sight of being near the road you drove on. You need to get help" Jimmy said

"Jimmy...I can't, not now" Nikkie said

"Nikkie, please. I care to much for you to see you hurt like this.You have to speak up" Jimmy said

"Ok, ok. I will but not now. Not right now. Can we just leave from here please" Nikkie said

"Yeah, let me drive" Jimmy said. They got both got out they both circled around the front of the car, but Jimmy stopped her when they were both standing in front of the car. She still had a tear going down her cheek. He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes.

"Everything will be fine. I'm always here for you. And you know that" Jimmy said wiping her last tear with his thumb. He pulled her in softly with a kiss. Nikkie nodded and went into the car. Jimmy drove back the way they came from.

Nikkie was looking out the window, watching the trees and houses pass quickly. She wasn't upset, she was just nervous about what had just happened. She was thinking what would happen if she did tell someone. The police would get involved, she would have to face the punks who kidnapped her, and also she would have to literally relive the moment by giving every detail to the police.

They arrived at Jimmy's building. He parked at his spot and turned off the car. He put his keys in his pocket and took off his seatbelt. He looked over at Nikkie. She was playing with the zipper of her jacket. She looked over at him and gave him a small smile. He smiled back and opened the door and got out. Nikkie did the same.

Author's Note: I know, I know another crappy chapter, but please don't give up on my story. I mean it's just the beginning and nothing big happens yet, atleast not until about the 6th chapter, so PPLLLLEEEAASSSEEEE bare with me. I promise, this story will get soooo good and full of drama as usual.

Oh yeah, I have to give out a sneak peek so that you really don't give up on me. Check it out:

There's gonna be alot of NIKKIE/CRAIG drama, but Jimmy never finds out. But don't worry he'll find out. Also a 2 new characters are in, but one of them dosn't start being mentioned until later on in the story when college begins. Also alot of issues come between Jimmy and Nikkie...can you say UH-OH...but it dosn't stop here. One of those new characters has a odd connection to a person Nikkie once met. And just for a tease...let's just say Craig and Nikkie become a little too touchy feely after Nikkie see's something that she thought she'd never see.

WELL, ain't that good e-Nuff for you. If you wanna find out the full story behind the sneek peaks, you have to read this. It's what I like to title "Drama at Degrassi a.k.a D.A.D" LOLOLOLOLOL...keep reading and keep watching for updates. Oh yeah, don't freak out when my chapter's start coming in a little late. Cause I'm staring school next week, and you know the rest. So I'll try really hard to update every week.

MUCH LOVE 1!!!!
