Some Dreams Don't Matter

Part 13

~Nicole's P.O.V~

I woke up and looked at my phone. I'm Instagram famous, as well as Saidy, Jacob and Tom. We formed a band together on YouTube and were verified on Instagram and YouTube. Because we're fab like that.

(I'm just letting you guys know we haven't actually made a YouTube band so please do not try to find us on YouTube. Thank you :3)

I get alerts every second and it's kind of annoying, so I'm just going to go into setting and notification centre. Turn it off so then I don't get that. We got offered a record deal, but we said we'd deal with them until we're out of school. At the moment it's the summer holidays.

It's only 2 weeks until we go to university. I'm going to miss those 3 little idiots of mine. I've spent 17 years with them. And I can't believe I'm leaving them already. I'm flying off to America to go Harvard next week. Jacob is flying all the way to Australia. I don't know about Saidy and Tom. But they won't be together either. Ah well, they're not in a relationship. I doubt they'll miss each other as much as I'll miss Jacob.

My phone rang and it was Saidy.

Me- Hello?
Saidy- Hey, I got my uni letter!
Me- Well?

I heard sniffling in the background and crying.

Me- aww, don't worry, I'm sure they'll accept you somewhere!

Saidy- I...I GOT IN!
Me- I'm so proud of you! What university is it?
Saidy- one somewhere in Ireland. I've always wanted to go to that one ever since that year 9 trip there.
Me- well I'm going to go. I've got to pack my stuff for next week.
Saidy- I'll miss you. I promise I'll be at the airport to wave you off and I'll be right there for when you come back.

I ended the phone call and I was full up of tears. That's the 3rd last time I'll hear her voice.

I opened the door to see Jacob in a suit and tie with red roses in his hand. They're my favourite flowers. I was in a Green Day band shirt and ripped jeans with converse.

"Hello, ma'am. Ready to go?" He said. He stepped to the side and there was a beep. A limo pulled up infront.

"Jacob!" I shouted, hugging him and being careful not to prick myself with the roses he's holding. "How, how did you..."

"No questions! Go get dressed, princess. I want this to be the best last date until for another 4 years." he handed me the flowers.

"Wait, hold onto these until I get dressed." I said, giving them back to him. Luckily, I already did appropriate makeup this morning so I was alright.

Once I opened my wardrobe I routed through the back of it to find a short red one arm dress with a bow on it. I squeezed through it and grabbed the shoes at the bottom of the wardrobe. I just wore red converse because I don't like heels. He likes it when I wear dresses and converse. Quickly, I put my hair into a messy bun. I grabbed my red hand-purse and headed downstairs.

"Ready now, princess?"
"As I'll ever be, prince."

I hopped into the limo and I found Tom and Saidy in there. Maybe the phone call was the 4th last time I'd hear her voice.

I think them two are together. They're holding hands, so I think so. Why didn't she tell me earlier?

"Thought you'd never see me until next week? You're wrong, Nic. I want to make this memorable." She gave me a hug before the limo set off.

We arrived at this place and I noticed it was the park. It had rose petals everywhere. Roses were Saidy's favourite, too.

"Well, how do you like it?" Both the boys said in unison.

"Tom, you were in on this too?" Saidy said, motionless.

"That's right. I wouldn't let Jacob do all of it."

There was a post-it note on the bench. It read "follow the petal road". Me and Saidy was infront and Tom and Jacob were a little behind from us.

We walked through the trees. There were lights all around the trees. I heard violins playing. We carried on following the petals.

We got to the end of the road and there was a table with a candle in the middle of it. A square one fit for 4. I felt arms go around my waist from behind and Jacob rested his head on my shoulder. He pulled out a chair for me and I sat down. He pushed it in. Tom did the same for Saidy.

After about an hour, we already had some food. Then the band started playing "Night Changes" by One Direction - an acoustic cover.

We all got up and danced. It was a magical moment and I'll never forget this day. I've got one of those boyfriends who will do anything for his girl to be happy.

As the song was ending, Jacob started speaking to me.

"Nicole," he said, "you have been my best friend for 17 years"

"You're the best thing that's happened to me." He took my hand and kissed it, but he put his hand in his pocket and reached for something.

"Nicole..." he got down on one knee.
