Nicole woke up with what felt like some weight on her. She slowly fluttered hey eyes open to the sun beams showing from the side of the blinds when she relaxed she wasn't in her room.The flashbacks from the night before flashed in her mind and she slowly rolled over when her eyes widened when she saw - some very attractive - biceps. She looked over and she Seth; his mouth slowly agape as soft, barley audible snores left his mouth. His hair was messily swept across his forehead, some strands falling over his eyes.Nicole slowly reached up as she moved some of his short strands of hair away from his eyes when her hand stopped midway as she realized what was happening.Seths muscular arms were wrapped around Nicole's petite frame as her legs were tangled into his and her head rested in the crook of his neck.Nicole shut her eyes before her hand slowly fell to her side as she brought her lips in her mouth, holding her breath for a second before she finally calmed herself and exhaled soft

"Just grab a bunch and try them on, then I'll help you pick which one looks best!" Celia squealed as she pulled Nicole into a store so the two of them could find dresses. Nicole groaned as she started looking through the racks. "I have dresses at home!" She called out. "Pshh," Celia shrugged. "Theres always room for one more," "By the time I graduate, not only will I have a closet full of dresses, but I'll also be broke considering all the dances we have," Nicole rolled her eyes as she swung a few dresses over her arm when she found some she thought she could try on. "Whatever," Celia mumbled. "At least we have the memories!" "Of what?" Nicole scoffed. "The shopping and the dance itself!" Celia huffed, giving Nicole a flat look. For about half an hour, they spent in just one store, looking through the racks for different dresses. Finally when they had found a few they thought would work, the two girls made there way overt the dressing rooms as the took turns changing and showing

Secrets are hard to keep. Not always because they can be full of rumours and gossip or because you simply want to share some new details about someone or something to other people; but in this, because you just need some advice. You need to share something thats bothering you because you genuinely need advice and you cant always get what you want without price..In this case, the cost was a little secret."You can't tell a soul.""I won't.""Swear?""I swear on my life."Seth sighed as he rested his head in the palm of his hand which was propped up on his elbow. "Nicole and I made a.. sort of a deal. I found something out and the only way I said I would keep it hidden, since thats what she needed me to do, was that she would've to do as I say.""Anything?""Mainly," Seth shrugged. "Some terms added.""For how long?""Could be... quite awhile but it depends," Seth answered."So what exactly are you telling me?""Well, I made her accept Jason's proposal to the dance..." He trailed off,

"Jason Pearson." Jason stopped in his tracks as he was walking to his locker just to turn around and see the last person he wanted to see; Nicole. Nicole saw his slightly bruised cheek. It wasn't much, just a small tinge of blue and purple. She slightly snickered at her handy work. Sure it was probably a bitch move and now more rude of her to react like that, but she felt like he deserved it - after all, he was always an ass to her too. It was years of pent up anger and rage that finally came out. "If you want to give me a bruise on my other cheek, I'll start off by telling you that I would appreciate my other one to be left alone, at the least." He muttered, his face holding a glum expression. He was annoyed and didn't want to talk to her but he wondered what she wanted from him now considering she already said no and slapped him. What more could she want? Jason was also annoyed at his friends. They had convinced him to ask her and if it weren't for their stupid idea, he wouldn't

Like we always do."Nicole frowned sheepishly. "I actually already went dress shopping wit

"Nicole, you have to speak to us.""Why?" She turned around, her voice coming out weak as she faced Asher. Her voice cracked and overall she looked drained out and exhausted, obviously not in the mood to interact with anyone."Come on, you honestly can't think all the things you said yesterday are true," He frowned. Asher genuinely was upset that she thought that way. He hated seeing her like this.Just as she was about to turn around, Asher grabbed her arm making sure she stayed facing him."What do you want Asher?" She exhaled, inpatient and wanting to leave."I want you to talk to me." He said firmly, his eyes soft as they scanned her face and tried to uncover what she was thinking."I am.""You know what I mean," He sighed."No, no I don't." She mumbled dryly."Nicole, please just talk to us. We all are fine and that's how it should be,""That's how it is,""No, it shouldn't be like this," He muttered."Asher, I need to get to class."With that, Nicole had shrugged her arm away fr

"Nicole! Sit still, will you?" Charlie tugged at her hair as she wrapped the curling wand around a strand, causing Nicole to wince."Im going with Jason!" She exasperated. "Theres no need to dress up so much, and on top of it I'm wearing such a nice dress for nothing," She frowned."Come on!" Charlie groaned. "This isn't for nothing!""Not like I'm trying to impress him," She scoffed.Yes, I get that but everyone else will see you and they will drop to the ground when they see hot gorgeous you'll be looking!" Charlie squealed as she continued to style her cousins hair. "You already are such a beauty and dressed up so much will make you look like such a goddess!" She gushed."As much as I appreciate your compliments, my date-" She cringed at the word, "- will be here soon, so I should hurry up,"A little while later, Nicole hair was curled perfectly and her makeup was done too. Since her dress was a natural, light colour, Charlie decided to give her a little smokey eye. Nothing too dra

"Care for a dance?"Nicole sighed as she grabbed Jason's hand as he led her to the dance floor."Now come on," He chuckled. "You're getting the chance to dance with Jason Pearson, why would you want to miss it?"Nicole narrowed her eyes at him. "Please, you cant even say that," She scoffed."And why would yo-" Jason caught himself as he cleared his throat."Jason!" Jason spun around to see Nicole running up to him."Whats up?" He asked."I was looking for you, I actually had to ask you something," She told him nervously."Okay," He nodded. "What is it?""I know this may be weird bu-""You are weird, Nik," He laughed."Ha-ha," Nicole rolled her eyes jokingly. "Always the comedian, huh Jay?""Learned from the best," He grinned, nudging her.Nicole chuckled along with her best friend."Anyways," Jason stated. "What is it that you wanted?" He asked again."I had a question for you.." She spoke slowly."Hit me up," He chuckled, raising an eyebrow in curiosity."Okay, well... I was just won

"Seth?" Nicole exhaled.Seth looked up from his phone. He was leaning against a car as Nicole stood in front of him with furrowed eyebrows and a confused expression."Hey!"The two of them turned and looked at who was calling out when they saw a car pull up in front of them. It wasn't any car, it was Charlie's car that her and Nicole had come in."What the hell?" Nicole mumbled as the window rolled down and Charlie smiled at the two.Just as Nicole was about tot ask what was going on, another head stuck out the window."Logan?" Seth muttered. "What the hell are you doing?""I think you two have some talking to do," He replied smugly."And some bills to pay," Charlie smirked before the two, standing there dumbfounded, watched the car zoom out of the parking lot.Nicole awkwardly turned back to Seth, him looking at the road the car has disappeared onto, before she awkwardly looked down, not sure what to do in this situation.The two of them stood in awkward silence for a while before Se

Nicole's eyes slowly opened, her head throbbing with pain and mouth feeling so dry that she could barley open it. Confusion was all that she felt.She blinked her eyes a few times before they finally adjusted to the lighting. She looked around, confused and scared. Anxiety quickly filled her whole body and she was ready to panic. She didn't know where she was, what was going on, or who she could call for help.Her mind was blank. She didn't even have a single thought to form because she was at utter loss. she couldn't remember anything properly which only caused her anxiousness to increase.She felt like she was in a dream. All she wanted to do was be able to fall back asleep and wake up, back to normal with her brother and cousin cooking breakfast before she had to head to school while her mom got ready to leave for work.She felt so misplaced and uneasy. Confused and as if her body was slowly floating away and there was no way she'd be able to start swimming because she couldn't qui

3 years later (They'd all be 26 now)"Nicole Palmer, I vow to keep you the happiest girl on earth. I promise to love you and care for you with all of my heart until I breathe my last breath. I promise to hold you when you need me to, lend you a shoulder to cry on, buy you all the ice cream in the world and maybe even help do the laundry once in a while.. In all, I love with every little thing in my body and I promise to love you forever and always because you deserve the world. I will cherish you, spoil you, love you, care for you, hold you, cry with you, laugh with you and stand by you until the day I die.""You may now kiss your bride."With that, Seth leaned in and passionately kissed Nicole as she wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling through the kiss as tears of happiness rolled down her tears.Tears and laughs and cheer and smiles were spread through the crowd as everyone starting clapping and cheering for the newly wedded couple.❀"My baby girl is all grown up," Drew sighe

Nicole stood there feeling extremely uneasy and shocked as the silence created such tension in the atmosphere. She didn't know what to do but the next thing she knew was that her feet were driving her out. She ran off the stage and down the dark hall, out the back door.She leaned against a wall, closing her eyes as she felt her heart pounding against her chest frantically."Nicole," the sound of the door opening caused Nicole to slowly open her eyes and turn so she was face to face with Jason. Following behind him came Logan and Parker. Nicole slowly blinked, not really being able to comprehend much since she was still in so much shock."Nicole, just breathe." Logan said slowly as he took a few steps closer to her.Nicole licked her lips, gulping. She had no idea what to say. She was definitely not ready to face everybody right now so obviously she didn't have a clue what she was suppose to see. You don't just walk up to people and act like you haven't been dead for six years."Nicol

"Hey, do you need anything?" Nicole asked as she walked into Asher's office and shut the door behind her.Asher sighed, "I hate to ask you to do this but could you drop these files off in Seth's office? I have a meeting in about two and a half minutes and I still don't know where half of my files are," he groaned as he rummaged through his desk, barely looking at Nicole as he ransacked his desk to find his files.Nicole let out a breath before walking over and opening one of the drawers in his filing cabinet, "I set a reminder on your laptop to remind you an hour earlier- which it did because I heard it when I walked by. Here are the rest of the things you need for the final meeting to ensure everything with the Steven's deal today will go smoothly," Nicole said as she handed him some files. "I may still not know the difference between current assets, debt and liabilities but I am organized. Now, you have less than two minutes to get to the meeting room so I'd scramble if I were you."
