Truce 10
"How do you figure out if someone's the right person?""Uh, what?"Nicole spun around to see none other than Jason. She slowly shook her head, sighing. "I thought you were someone else," she told him, which was true. Celia had texted her earlier this morning telling her she would meet her by her locker later at school today so she assumed it was Celia behind her, not Jason.Parker's words repeated in her mind all night after he had left the park and the more she thought about it, the more confused she got. Not only about what he said, but about everything, about how he may have meant it, how she should take it, how she feels."Well, okay," Jason shrugged, little confused still about what Nicole had just said but he decided that it was probably something stupid as he shrugged it off though he knew it would be stuck at the back of his mind. "Am I tutoring you again?" He asked."Why are you asking me?""Because ... You're the one that needs to be tutored.." He muttered, confused."I know

"So, uh.. What did Emma say to you?" Jason asked, hesitantly and not sure if it was a good idea to ask but his curiosity got the best of him."Huh?" Nicole gave him an utterly lost look."At lunch, when Chase came over." Jason reminded her."Oh," Nicole nodded in realization. "Nothing much, just basically told me that I'm ugly ya know," she shrugged her shoulders, not making it a big deal. She wasn't in the mood to beat around the bush and also knew Jason would keep asking until she answered."What? Why would she do that?" Jason's eyebrows pulled together in confusion."She doesn't exactly like me," Nicole shrugged as she looked up from her math textbook that was sprawled in front of her on Jason's room floor. "Anyways, I think I'm kinda getting the hang of this, it's just that Mr Willow sucks at explaining anything."Jason nodded. "I know what you mean. It's more about paying attention to watching him show how to do it rather then listen to him speak since that part makes no sense.""

"Okay muffin," Aidan chuckled as he grabbed Nicole off the table so she was hanging off his shoulder like Santa's sac. "I think you've preformed enough," he told her as he placed her on the ground.Nicole frowned. "It was only one song,""More like 7 in counting.. And these guys are getting more drunk by the second,""Aw!" Nicole cooed as she pinched Aidan's cheeks. "Is my little muffin being all protective?""No." He muttered, his cheeks tinging pink.Nicole grabbed a cup from the table and just as Aidan was about to grab it, she drowned it down."Okay, that's enough for you," he grabbed the cup out of her hands and shook his head."You're no fun," she pouted."You'll be glad when you wake up," he mumbled.❀"Where is she?""What the hell?" Jason muttered."Where the hell did she go?" Asher growled."Woah, man chill. Who are you even talking about?" Seth asked."Nicole!""What?""What?""Where is she?" Asher muttered."How am I suppose to know!?" Jason growled. "She was with Parker a

"Are we going on an adventure?" Nicole slurred, grinning like a cheshire cat. The alcohol was making her mind spin, not seeing anything clearly."We're going home," Jason muttered dryly, not amused by her drunk state.The five of them walked out of the party, Nicole leaning against Logan as he helped her get to the car since she couldn't walk straight."But what about my favourite rocket ship?" She frowned, not even sure what she was saying."It's getting repaired," Logan replied grimly, grinning a little because he hadn't seen Nicole drunk like this before."Foreal man?" Jason asked in disbelief, giving him an odd look."You never crush a drunk girls dreams," Logan shrugged casually.Jason scoffed."But I can't go home!" Nicole exclaimed. "Mommy's going to cut my arm into ten pieces and eat it and daddy's going to kill you!" She pointed to Jason. Her eyes widened with fear as she thought about how her mother would react to seeing her this drunk."Why me?" Jason asked with his eyebrow

Nicole woke up, confused, angry, mad, lost, more confused and feeling like a dead rat. Her head was pounding with a killer headache, she felt like she was going to vomit out her organs and her whole body felt sore. She never felt more deadly. Her head felt like someone had placed boulders on top of it while continuously hitting her with a sledge hammer. Basically, it was dreadful. Nicole attempted to open her eyes, squinting as she tried to sit up. Her attempt failed as she placed her head back down. After a few minutes of laying there with her eyes shut, she finally managed to open them, looking around in confusion. "Where the hell..." she muttered, her voice coming our raspy as her throat felt dry. Nicole sat up to see that Seth's head was placed on her lap, may I add that she was still just in the oversized sweatshirt and her undergarments. Her feet were resting on Asher's legs while his head was down on her bare legs. Parker was sprawled on the ground. Half of Jason's body h

"Those guys are...""Stupid?" Nicole offered, finishing Asher's thoughts for him as he had started to trail off, not being able to find the right word.Asher chuckled. "I'd go for strange." He glanced at her and grinned softly."How so?" she quirked an eyebrow at which Asher shrugged at."I don't know," he tilted his head in thought. "I mean, they seem nice but then you all argue so much. At the same time, they care about you. It's confusing.""Care about me?" Nicole shook her head, scoffing. She was surprised he thought that and found it a little funny. "Please, that's the last thing they'd do.""No, I'm pretty sure they do." Asher nodded."And why would you say that?" She inquired, narrowing her eyes lightly. She didn't understand what would make him think that because she didn't buy it for a second."I don't know," he shrugged once again. "I can tell they do... whether they deny it or not. It's not exactly hard to see.""How?""Well, for starters, when none of us could find you at

"Hey, Nicole!" Celia greeted as she leaned against the locker beside Nicole's while Nicole got her things out."Hey Lia," Nicole smiled."I heard about your little Elvis performance on Friday night," Celia smirked. "Oh, and about your beer pong skills."Nicole cringed. "That wasn't me. It was drunken me."Celia chuckled."Oh, Asher told me about how Emma pushed you into the pool and then denied it too, man she's so low." Celia sighed."Yeah, but it's whatever," Nicole shrugged as she looked down to see that she was wearing Asher's sweatshirt causing her cheeks to tinge pink.Celia raised an eyebrow as she noticed Nicole blushing and then the sweatshirt. "Is that- oh my god!" She squealed."What?" Nicole mustered."That's Asher's!" She grinned as she pointed to the sweatshirt.Nicole groaned as she slid the sweatshirt off leaving her in her tight black v-neck she word underneath. "I was only wearing it so I could return it to him," she rolled her eyes.Celia scoffed. "Yet you couldn't

"Hey Asher!" Nicole called out as she saw him walking down the hall.Asher turned around as he saw Nicole was talking to him, giving her a smile as he made his way over to her by her locker."What's up?""Uh, I have your sweatshirt," she told him awkwardly, shifting on her feet.Asher chuckled. "You can keep it, no worries. I gotta find coach real quick but I'll see you at lunch," he told her, before quickly waving and jogging off to the gym. Nicole sighed and then shrugged before making her way to the gym herself.Just as she had reached the gym, Asher walked out."Hey, what are you doing here?" He asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion."Thought I'd just walk to the caf with you," she shrugged. Asher chuckled, nodding as the two made their way to the cafeteria."Woah, okay. What are they doing here?" Nicole asked in disbelief as she made her way to the table where she had sat with Chase and his friends."Hey, Jay, where did my chair go?""We don't want you to sit with us," Jason spa

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."
