Since Nick and Clementine talked in the store, I wanted to give you a chapter of Nick opening up, and explain his situation to Clementine. this story won't be much longer, Event Friday might be the last chapter. i'm working on other fics so I do apologize for the delay, writing as Nick is something I need practice doing XD. Chapter 6 is more serious, Nick is going to tell you about Jane, and Becca.. so I hope you all enjoy!
Clementine entered St. John's ice Arena, and saw Nick was already on the ice skating. her lips curved into a smile as she watched him skate from one side of the arena to the other while he used his hockey stick to take the ball across the ice, and hit it into the Net. Once he did that Clementine Clapped loudly. "impressive." she said to him as she slowly made her way over to the entrance of the arena. She already had her ice skates on. All she had to do was slowly make her way over to the ice. Nick skated over to the entrance to the ice, and waited for her holding the small door open.
"hey." he said to her, looking into her eyes once she got Close enough to him. Clementine felt her stomach flip flop, it was almost like he taking her breath away with his eyes.
"Hello Nick, and thanks for holding the door open for me." she responded and stepped onto the ice.
"heh...you're late." Nick said pointing to the clock that said 7:02. Clementine looked up at the large clock that was mounted onto the wall, and smiled
"only by a couple of minutes. my legs feel strange I should to do a few laps to warm up." she said to him and started to skate away, however Nick skated beside her.
"i'll come along too, so we can talk." Nick felt even though he knew nothing about Clementine, he had a feeling deep down in the pit of his gut that he could trust her, even if he would have never asked her to come to the arena and not talk to her, she still would have known about the situation, due to her finding out after school.
"alright Nick, i'm all ears." Clementine smiled, skating at a nice pace with Nick, not to fast not too slow.
"The reason I treated you like shit when I first saw you is all because this stupid bitch Becca. you got to meet her, she was the girl who was at your table at Lunch, the one who has short black hair.
"I know who she is Nick." Clementine interrupted, and switched sides with Nick. Nick pulled his hat off and ran his fingers through his thick black hair, and held his hat in his hand for a few seconds before placing it back onto his head.
"when I first started dating Jane."
"the bitch." Clementine corrected him with a mischievous smile on her face.
"the Bitch." Nick corrected himself and did a brief laugh "anyway, when I was dating The Bitch, she was one of the unpopular kids, she was quiet, and believe it or not she was nice, but no one liked her. we where friends because I was friends with that asshole Bill at the time, and Bill was friends with her because they are neighbors. I was going through a lot of shit at home, and The Bitch ended up hearing me on the phone at practice. my mom got sick, real sick, and they told me in order for her to get better she was going to have to be taking some expensive medicine. I called my dad, and told him what happened but the son of a bitch didn't care, all he fucking cared about was work , getting drunk, and sleeping with other woman behind moms back. I called Coach Randall, he is my Uncle. I told him about mom and he told me that he would take over moms job which was paying for me to go to school here, and he said he would pay for a portion of moms meds. He told me I needed to get a job so I could pay for the rest of moms meds, or she would end up dying. After I got off the phone with him it seemed like my life started to fuck up even more, I got a job at RavenBlood Express, just so I could arrange some sort of payment arrangement with the doctor so I could afford my moms medicine, the bitch found out that my grades started going down, because all I do is go to school, work, practice, do what little studying I can and sleep, so The Bitch made me an offer. she told me if I go out with her to help her become well known and popular, she would get my name out there, because she knows people looking for someone with my kind of talent, and she would also have my grades stay passable so I could be on the team win, and get paid for winning. however if I broke up with her, or she got mad enough to break up with me I'd loose everything.." Nick sighed, giving Clementine the opportunity to speak, but Clementine shook her head.
"keep going Nick, I don't want to say anything until you're done."
"alright, so the bitch and I started dating, at first she wasn't so bad, until Becca tried to get into my pants, I'm not going to go into details about that, but i will say she tried that, because she wanted to get pregnant and have a baby by me, in case if i did make it big.. she wouldn't have to lift a finger... after that happened I started to trust no one, and treat every girl like shit, except for Sarah, I knew Sarah way before I met the bitch.
"do you love her?" Clementine blurted out once they made it to the bench to sit down.
"huh?" he asked and sat down beside her unsure of how to answer the question.
"do you love her Nick?" Clementine asked again. She looked Nick into his eyes, and he gazed back into hers. Nick finally sighed, and turned his head away.
"to be honest... not anymore, I fucking hate the way she treats people, I fucking hate how she's using me, and I never really thought about it until Luke talked to me during our last class. Luke is my best friend, he knows everything about me, but he has no idea what the bitch is doing, the bad thing is, if I tell Luke, he will try to be super man swoop in and fall flat on his ass, and ruin everything for me. so until I graduate I'm stuck in this bullshit relationship with the bitch. it fucking sucks ass." Nick said, with a sigh slumping in the seat. Clementine couldn't help but blush because Nick's leg was almost touching her leg, and she could smell the wonderful smell of his cologne. After closing her eyes, and inhaling a big wiff of the scent she relaxed, and opened her eyes speaking to him.
"Nick, I want you to know that even though I really don't know you, and you don't really know me I still want to help you. may I ask what classes are you in danger of failing?"
"English and Econ." Nick mumbled lightly, and Clementine laughed softly.
"are you freaking serious? English is like the easiest thing ever! and econ... gosh... i bet Lee could help you with that, he is a History professor, and he also is smart when it comes to the government and the economy. if you ever meet him, and you mention anything that has to do with those subjects, he will go into professor mode, and start to lecture you. Sometimes Carley and I pretend we are listening to him, and with both space out, or we will take turns making fun of him while he isn't looking." Clementine giggled when she saw Nick's eyebrow arch into the air.
"are they your folks?" Nick asked in a country way.
"folks? you mean parents?"
"uh yeah, what else would i mean?" Nick replied, his accent seemed to be heavier than usual. Clementine enjoyed his accent especially when he was mad or he was asking a question.
"nothing Nick, they are the people who adopted me, after my babysitter went crazy and killed my real parents. My mom was a figure skater, and she taught me how to figure skate. I still use everything she taught me, and I dedicate every performance to her. My dad was very supportive, and he would always be there for every performance and wear a silly looking shirt with my name on it. God I miss them so much..." Clementine sadly said, tears, began to fill in her eyes and pour out. Nick stared at her, he wasn't used to the type of girl who cried, when Sarah would cry he would always step aside and let Luke step in.
"uh.. hey don't uh... don't cry okay? uh its uh... yeaaaahhhh" Nick tried to console her, but failed miserably. Clementine stared at him, as if he where from another planet, and started to laugh while the tears streamed down her cheeks.
"wow Nick, are... are you always this bad at trying to comfort people?" she asked, as that somehow cheered her cleaned her tears away and watched Nick stand up.
"tch... i should get back to practice." Luke mumbled picking up his hockey stick he had placed beside him on the bench. Clementine stood up as well.
"Lee said he will come pick me up after he grabs some stuff for tonight's dinner, he's making spaghetti and meatballs with Carley form scratch!" Nick thought about the food and got hungry, he forgot to eat since he was so busy. Nick skated over to the center of the ring, and started to practice while clementine sat down watching Nick, she didn't want to skate because she was afraid she would get in his way, or distract him. After some time Lee showed up walking into the arena walking over to the ice entrance, and Clementine stood skating toward the ice entrance. Clementine skated fast and leaped into the air spinning 3 times and landed on her leg, Nick's mouth opened as he saw Clementine in the air. He watched Clementine while she talked with Lee.
"is that him?" Lee asked, wiggling his eyebrow just like Carley would, Clementine nudged him in the shoulder
"Lee!... yes it is him, do you want to meet him?" she asked.
"yes I do, bring him to me." Lee told her, and Clementine flagged Nick over. Nick sighed reluctantly going over to them. After Clementine introduced them she let them talk, watching the both of them go back and forth actually getting along, but she wasn't surprised that Lee got along with Nick, everyone loved Lee.
"Nick? why don't you stop on by for dinner tonight?" Lee offered, and Clementine nearly pinched a hole in his side for asking. "ouch.."
"that sounds uh... nice, but uh i don't want-"
"we have plenty! come have dinner, spend some time with Clementine, and then you can head home. I insist." Lee said to him. Nick thought for a minute, and nodded.
"alright, if I get to spend time with her, then I'm in." Nick replied.
Clementine's narration
OH MY GOD! I am so excited! I cannot believe Nick said yes! Nick is going to be in my house! eating with us! and I'll get to talk to him! this mean Nick likes me right?! not like-like, but like as in he sees me as an acquaintance! hopefully while he is at my house we can talk about fun things and get to know each other better. I also think I might have found a way to save Nick from The Bitch.
