Nikki's P.O.V
-------
When I woke up in the morning, I was greeted with an empty bed. The events of last night came flashing through my mind.

Me and Michael kissing, me crying into his chest. I made my way downstairs, wrapping Michael's sweater around my body, my hair in a messy bun. Michael was putting a fire in the fireplace, pancakes and hot chocolate laid out on the couch.

I cleared my throat.

"Oh hey, how did you sleep?" Michael asked, standing up and whipping the ashes off his hands. I smiled and took a seat on the couch.

"Good, I didn't even hear the storm outside." I said, giggling and picking up a cup. Michael smiled and made his way over to me, his scent getting tangled in my senses.

" As you can see, Hurricane Abigail is making its way towards us, I would advise everyone to stay in doors and off the roads." The weather man announced on the television. I sighed and leaned into Michael.

"Looks like we're stuck here, I got some chick flick kind of movies and we can paint each other's nails." Michael said, grinning at me. I giggled and picked up the movies.

"White Chicks, A Cinderella Story, Lady and the Tramp, Michael! Magic Mike is not a chick flick!" I said, throwing it at his head.

Michael ducked out of the way and wrapped his arms around me, bringing both of us to the ground. I looked up and him, his chest puffing up and down. He held my gaze before slowly leaning down to kiss me. As soon as he pulled away, all flustered, he stood up.

"Sorry...." He said.

"Mikey, what are we?" I asked. "Because best friends don't kiss."
Michael looked at me, his green eyes locking with my blue ones.

"Maybe I don't want to be best friends anymore. Nicole Rose Maxwell, I have loved you since grade 8 and now we're graduating soon. I just don't want to see you suffer anymore heartbreaks, I want to be the reason why you smile, the first thing you think of when you wake up and the last when you fall asleep. I can't see you get hurt, not again. I can't promise you that you won't get hurt, but I can promise you that I will never hurt you. " Michael said, looking down.

I cringed at the use of my full name. I widened my eyes at Michael's outburst, and softly placed my hand on his cheek. He flinched under my touch, as I forced him to look at me.

" Say something, please?" Michael said, his voice cracking.

" Maybe I don't want to be best friends anymore, Mikey. I want exactly what you want." I finally said, whipping away the tears streaming down Michaels face.

Michael grinned so wide, I could see his uvula. He hugged me tightly.

"Nikki Maxwell will you be my girlfriend?" Michael asked.

I nodded, kissing him. We spent the rest of the afternoon watching A Cinderella Story, the original with Hillary Duff. Michael was staring at me, smiling at me.

"What? Do I have pizza sauce on my face?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No I'm just thinking of how beautiful you are." He said, lightly kissing my neck. I blushed and pushed his face away.

"Ew cooties" I said, sticking my tongue out. Michael walked into the kitchen and brought out a bag of Sour Gummy Worms, my favourite.

I put in The Vow, one of the saddest movies I have watched, and snuggled next to Michael. Half way through the movie I heard sniffling.

"Mikey are you crying?" I asked, looking over at him.
"No I'm punk rock, not a sap." He said, hiding his tears. I giggled and cuddled into him, shutting the movie off.

Michael's P.O.V

Later that afternoon, the rest of the boys came over. Nikki was in the shower, so I was left with was left alone with them.

"Hey babe do you have any clean clothes?" she asked, coming downstairs in a towel. I widened my eyes, when I saw Luke staring at her boobs. I slapped him on the side of his head and quickly ushered Nikki into the kitchen.

"Sorry, you didn't tell me they were here!" Nikki said, biting her lip. I slid my sweatshirt off and zipped it up for her.

"Luke was starting at you breasts. He can't do that, only I can." I said, lightly kissing her neck.

"Damn it! You knew I was going to ask her out." Luke said, coming into the kitchen.

I glared at him, standing in front of Nikki's half naked body. Nikki put her hands on my shoulders, relaxing me with her touch. Luke looked like a sad little puppy, walking out of the room.

Nikki slipped away to go change as I went into the other room. Luke was pouting, looking up at me with sad eyes.

"Luke, I'm sorry but she's mine. I'll help you find someone ok?" I said, putting my head in my heads.

"Okay." He said.

When Nikki came into the room, her eyes were focused on her phone.

"What's wrong babe?" I asked her, pulling her near me.
"My parents haven't texted me that they landed yet." Nikki said, frowning.

I pecked her cheek. "They will it's probably delayed because of the weather." I said. She shrugged and put her phone down. We started to jam, Ashton on the drums, Calum on the bass, and Luke and I on guitar. I kept smiling as Nikki kept watching us.
