A Love For a Singer - A District3 Fan Fiction

Chapter 21 - Same old Nicole

Too many visions all at once. Let's try and get myself out of my own head and start thinking straight. Let's start from the beginning. A little girl (Me), a little boy (Dan), in a sandbox. John (Dan's dad) inside with my mother. Me and Dan was having so much fun in the sandbox. John looking angry, worried and disappointed in himself. He gets a knife from the kitchen, kills mother on the bed. Comes outside to get Dan. Scraped Dan's neck with the knife and made it a scar. He picks up Dan and drives away. I'm left alone...all alone. No one around me.  

I'm remembering something...Pattie. She was wondering on what's going on and she visits the house. She goes inside and finds my mother dead upstairs. She picks me up and goes for the phone. She strokes me on my cheek and says "everything is going to be alright"..even though it's gone worse. Her giant brown eyes that gazed upon mine, it felt like she was my mother. Pattie..Pattie.....Pattie. 

Step by step, i started to get back to reality a bit at a time. I could hear myself say "Pattie...Pattie", was i saying everything that i thought in my head? Did they hear me say the whole story? My forehead was dripping wet, and i was exhausted. It felt like i was lying down on the floor.  

I opened my eyes as wide open as it possibly can, stunned about everybody surrounding me. Pattie was knelt next to me, feeling my forehead.  

"Nicole? Are you okay Nicole?" She kept repeatedly.  

"Where's Dan?" I asked in shock and agony.  

"He's gone to the hospital..remember? You just fainted..you were screaming and saying about your past" The police women said. So, they did hear me..that's awkward.  

"I want to see Dan" I said trying to get up off the floor.  

"No no no" They all said at once pushing me back down on the floor.  

"You need rest, you need to go home" Pattie said. 

"Can i atleast call him and ask if he is alright?" I asked.  

"He is resting, you can't call yet, we don't know whether he is doing well because even we can't call him" Pattie said. At this time...all i want to hear is a friends voice. Especially Dan's. He was my friend since i was little. I don't want to lose him now. If i do..i don't know what i will do. I will end up either killing myself or...spending everyday miserable. "Why don't you call Bertie? You haven't heard from him in a while"  

"Bertie? Oh hell no. Like i will talk to that dream crusher little man hoe.." I said offensivly.  

"Watch your language young lady!" Pattie said pointing at me in disappointment. 

"Well he is, Pattie..you don't know him as much as me" I said, stating the truth.  

"..One word..just say one word to him" Pattie asked. 

"Yeah..fine..i will say 'bye'" I said in a temper.  

"No. I'm serious Nicole...he likes you so much and you think it's okay to ignore him like that? What if Dan ignored you? How would you feel?" Pattie said, knocking some sense into me. She's right..i mean..i don't just like Dan as friends..i REALLY like Dan. 

Pattie started to get her phone out and started to dial a number into her phone. She handed me the phone as i started to get up off the floor and walk somewhere else. Ring ring. Still no answer. 

"Hi Pattie, how is Nicole doing? Is she doing okay? I hope she is doing okay..i don't want to lose a friend like her" Bertie answered. Wow..i didn't know i meant this much to Bertie. I mean..i knew he liked me..but not this much. What he just said is so sweet that my heart cant take it. My emotions were building up inside of me and started to explode. My eyes started to water as i stood there silently trying to figure out a way to talk to him and say it's me. A tear streamed down my face, and i still didn't know what to say. My mind went blank and my voice was silent. "Hello?" Bertie repeated. 

"Bertie?" I asked really emotionally. There was not a single sound at the other end of the conversation. 

"Nicole?..Erm.." He said, speechless.  

"Look Bertie..I am so sorry for ignoring you..i was a terrible friend. You gave me the best day ever and later i left you in a crowd of fans..then i left you for Dan...i am so sorry" I admitted.  

"Nicole..Nicole..Stop. I should of let you go. It was between, going with your friend or going with your favorite band? I would of picked the band as well. I was over reacting and...i was being stupid.....fuckin' idiot..I'm a fuckin' idiot.." He said, i stopped his sentence before he got into a temper. 

"Bertie, you arn't a fucking idiot. You are a great guy, and i should've seen that before instead of pushing away the obvious.." I said. 

"Nicole.." Bertie continued. He left a long pause and went completely silent. 

"I need to go Bertie.." I said. 

"I love you..remember that? Remember when we were in your kitchen and i told you that i like you and you said that you liked me back?...That was the best day ever. I know i'm being a bit cheesy but..i still remember you telling me that you loved me" He said as i started to get a warm heart. I don't know whether my perspective to Bertie was the same as it was. I mean..i still love him, but all of this drama came up and..Bertie just exited out of my heart..i can't explain it.  

"...Bye Bertie" I said pressing the 'end call' button. I'm glad i'm back in touch with Bertie, it made me realise that i haven't changed as much as i thought i did. I'm still the same old Nicole..but with a celebrity friend.

A/N: Hi again! So, Bertie is back in touch with Nicole and when Bertie says "Remember when we were in your kitchen" this links back to chapter 11 when Nicole tells him for the very first time that she likes him! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and...yeah! :) Thank you for reading this much so far and there is plenty more <3 ~ Jennifer
