Who was that?" Seth asked as Nicole sat down.Nicole glanced up at him, starting to feel a lump in her throat as she suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable as she saw that the table - or at least Seth saw what had just happened.Nicole awkwardly cleared her throat, "Nobody.... I mean - it was just someone I accidentally bumped into.." She chuckled awkwardly by force, hoping that the topic would drop."Thats weird," Celia chuckled as she shook her head.Seth gave Nicole a weird look as he narrowed his eyes at her but Nicole simply looked away, avoiding eye contact."So, what's everyone been up to?" Zylen asked, changing the subject."I hate history," Harley groaned. "I'm going to fail.""Why is it necessary to talk about school when we are outside of it?" Zylen rolled his eyes as he took a sip of his Coca Cola. "It just ruins the mood.""True," Garrett nodded in agreement. "But history is boring.""It's interesting," Nicole shrugged, piping into the conversation."You're joking," Harley

Are they awake?""What happened?""Where is she?!""Okay, please calm down. I'll explain what is going on but I'm going to need you all to relax first." The doctor spoke calmly to the group of people waiting in panic.Drew paced back and forced, running his hand through his hair nonstop.Both Nicole and Zylen's family were waiting as patiently as they could along with all of their friends who rushed out of the party as soon as they had heard what had happened.Half of the teens were slightly hungover and half were still a little buzzed but none of them had drunk too much to start with."Zylen had woken up but we gave him painkillers and got him to sleep again since he was in quite pain. He has a broken foot and bruised tailbone so he will need bed rest for a while but I'll give you his prescription." The doctor said."And Nicole?" Jason asked, lifting his head as he was sitting with his head down and hands crossed in his lap, his head hurting."Well, she hasn't woken up yet but she ha

"Do remember anything at all?" Celia asked. Zylen sighed. "We were drinking and then the next thing I know is that we're in the car singing Justin Bieber songs and after that it was as if it were slow-mo you know?," he paused for a few seconds. "I remember Nicole yelling at me to swerve the car and watch out before my head hit the steering wheel and within seconds it was all just black." He explained, trying to re-jog his memory of what happened the previous night. Meanwhile, Nicole was still asleep in her room. Her eyes slowly fluttered opened as she adjusted to the light. Her head was still aching and it hurt to breathe but she managed to keep herself calm. "Mom?" "Honey, oh honey, you're awake!" Her mom smiled, her eyes tearing up. Nicole gave her mother a weak smile. "How are you?" Her mother chuckles slightly. "Honey, I think that's what I should be asking you," Nicole smiled at her mom, feeling more calm now that she got to see her. "I'm hurting," she told her truthfully.

Seth? What the hell?""What?" He answered in a raspy voice."Where the hell are you?" Logan asked over the phone. "You haven't been answering calls or texts or emails or anything! It has been two weeks and with Zylen and Nicole still recovering, things have been extremely stressful and you disappearing on us isn't much help!""Calm down," Seth slurred, his voice coming out scratchy."Dude," Logan calmed down. "Where are you?" He asked slowly."Doesn't matter & don't worry. I'm fine, just give me time and I'll explain.""Wait, what doe-"Before Logan could finish, Seth had already hung up. Logan groaned, dialling his number again but the call ended up going to voicemail. Logan sighed, running a hand through his hair before he gave up.❀"What do you mean? Scared of.. Of what?" Asher asked her slowly.Nicole wiped the corner of her eye before she grabbed Asher's arm and pulled him over to a desk where the two of them took a seat on stools beside one other.Nicole licked her chapped lips

"Daddy!" Nicole squealed. "Where are we going to go on another horse ride?""Soon pumpkin, soon." He smiled at his little girl."I miss Mocha, I haven't been riding in such a long time." The ten year old girl frowned."Okay pumpkin, how about we go tomorrow after school? I'll pick you up and we'll go. Sound good?"Nicole squealed as she jumped up and down and hugged her fathers legs. "Thank you daddy! I love you!""I love you too, pumpkin." He mumbled, smiling as he kissed her forehead.❀"Nicole! Jason's here!" Drew called her down. Nicole sat up in her recliner and rubbed her eyes. She yawned as she closed the book that was in her lap and made her way downstairs."Hey," he grinned."Hey." Nicole smiled back."Don't have sex please.." Drew groaned before he grabbed his coat and left the house.Nicole's cheeks tinged pink."So, movies?" Jason asked. Nicole nodded her head, grabbing her things before the two walked out to his car."You look tired," Jason said as they were driving.Nico

"Go away Charlie!" Nicole yelled from under her blankets. "I already said I'm not going!""Reasonable guess, but not Charlie."Nicole peaked her head out of her blanket to see that in fact, it wasn't Charlie but it was Logan. She furrowed her eyebrows, "What do you want?" She asked him, confused. "And how did you get in? How did you even know I was home? You know, you really shouldn't be here.""Woah, woah," he exhaled. "One question at a time please.. And Charlie let me in when she was leaving.""Nicole, why is your brother telling me that your sick at home and he can't come check on you because he has classes? What the hell is going on with you now?" Charlie asked in annoyance and fret as she had to drive all the way over to check on Nicole."Charlie, just get out." Nicole muttered bluntly."What? What's wrong with you?" She asked, now more worried."Now is not the time Charlie!" Nicole snapped. "Just leave me alone and tell Drew I'm fine."Charlie sighed. "Listen, I have errands to

"But you're right, there is more to it." She smiled sadly. I guess it was time for history to be revealed.."We were friends, all of us.. Best friends," she started."Hey Nicole! Are you coming to Jason's after school?" Parker asked as they both sat at their desks, working of some math worksheets."I think so," She nodded. "Mum said she'd drop off some cupcakes.. You know her and her baking," she chuckled."Hey, your mom makes good cupcakes!" Parker retorted."I hear you guys talking about cupcakes," Seth mumbled, a grin on his face as he pulled a chair over and joined."We were the best of friends.. You know all that basic and cliche stuff like hanging out everyday, play days to sleepovers to the littlest but most best memories, things like having flour fights and drawing on whoever falls asleep firsts face.. All that until one day.." Nicole sighed."Nicole.. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.." Logan said slowly and softly.Nicole shook her head, "It's alright.""Anyway

"Where's Logan? I didn't see him in class earlier," Seth asked as he arrived to the usual table at lunch."He said he wasn't feeling the brightest so he went home early." Parker told him."Strange," Harley mumbled."It's probably just something going around," Chase shrugged."I was thinking about going over later to see him but I don't know if he'd be in the mood.." Parker said to Seth."I could come with," Seth offered. "I'll call him at the end of the day in case he's asleep or something.""Jason, would you want to come?" Parker asked.Jason shrugged. "I don't know, I have some... Errands and stuff to do." He excused. Jason just wasn't in the mood to speak to people much himself. After the argument with Nicole, he felt guilty for how he spoke as well as feeling like shit because of the breakup. He didn't want things to go like that but in the end, he knew that she deserved better... Deserved someone like Seth and that he didn't like her as much as he thought.Parker just nodded in r

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 one ot

"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."
