*Nicole POV*
Today I awakened by my alarm clock. Which only made the pounding in my head worse by the second.
"Why is that going off?"Jc's asked as he was face down in pillows.
"I have no idea"I said picking up my phone. Beside the random alarm clock, I got a text from Lindsay,
"Wake up! Be here by five!"
Holy shit! I forgot! I shot up out of bed and threw on my hoodie
"What are you doing? It's 2am" Jc yawned
"I need to go to San Diego"I said grabbing my phone off the charger and putting it in my pocket.
"Woah woah woah woah. No you don't" he quickly got out of bed and stopped me from waking towards the door.
"Yes. I do. Lindsay wants me there at Five" I said putting my hand on my head trying to sooth the pain.
"Whos Lindsay?" He asked
"Thers no time to explain. I need to go" I said grabbing my keys and leaving the room.
I felt Jc's eyes on me as I walked down the empty hall. But before I could make it to the elevator, I suddenly felt really dizzy and winded. So I put my arm on a wall for stability.
"Are you alright?" Jc asked from afar. I just shook me head. He came jogging over,
"Whats wrong?" He asked
"My head hurts so bad" I said not looking up. He picked me up bridal style and walked back into the room. As he laid me down on the bed, he asked me a question.
"Whats going on" he asked climbing under the covers on his side of the bed and sitting up to face me.
"Lindsay wants me to be in San Diego in three hours for a photo shoot. She wants to catch the sunrise or something." I said turning my attention back to Jc
"That's kind of w-" he tried to say before I cut him off,
"Wait....Is that a hickey?" I asked sitting up and taking a closer look.
"Thats a hickey." I confirmed
"Whos that from...?" I asked
"Its just from some girl that I hooked up with when you were sleeping that one time."he shrugged like it was nothing.
"Jc."I said sternly, "Tell me your lying to me."
"Yes. I'm just kidding!" He lightly laughed, "Its from you"
"What?" I asked confused
"You kinda came on to me last night" he said
"Did you stop me??" I asked not remembering anything that happend last night.
"You woke up with clothes on didnt you?" He asked straight faced
"Jc" I smacked his arm
"Yes I stopped you! Calm down" he laughed hysterically.
"Thats not funny" I sighed in relief
"Yes it is." He smirked
"No its not" I giggled
"Yes it is. And do you know why?" He asked
"Why" I asked as he got really close to my face,
"Becuase you laughed"he smiled then layed back down beside me.
....
"Wake up!!" Jc shouted jumping on the bed
"What?" My voice muffled in the pillows
"Someone's here to see you" he said just jumping off the bed and walking over to my side.
"Is it Lana Del Ray?" I asked not moving from my position.
"No" Jc told
"Get the fuck up. Im here." I heared kian say from the door way. I rolled out of bed and slowly walked to the other side of the room then faced Kian. I let out a breath of air and started to run to Kian.
"Kiki!" I yelled jumping into his arms
"Nikki!" He said hugging me tight
"I missed you" I said over his shoulder
"Me too. And so did Mom" he said letting me down
"Oh. Yea. I forgot to call..." I said twiddling my fingers
"It's fine she knows how busy you always are" he said making his way to the lounge chair and plopping down in it.
....
It's almost noon and were getting ready to go to lunch together. Jc's in the shower. I already got one. So Kian and I are catching up.
"How's mom?" I asked
"Well. Pregnant." He answered
"What?! At her age?!" I said surprised
"Nah, im kidding" he laughed
"Oh my God. Dont do that" I sighed
"Sorry" he said, "But she's o-" my phone interrupted. I quickly got up and snatched it from the nightstand. It was Lindsay. I totally forgot to cancel this morning!
"Shit." I said under my breath as I answered it.
"Hi Lindsay. Im so sorry I didnt call this morning, I was really sick that's why I couldn't make it." I said pacing from the bed to the door
"Im sorry to Nicole. This was your last chance" she said
"What do you mean?" I asked worrily
"You've missed three shoots. Im really sorry, but im going to have to fire you" she said
"...Lindsay, please, you can't do this" I told ready to have a nervous breakdown
"Im afraid I can." She said coldly, "Your fired." She repeated then hung up.
I stood completely still with the phone still up to my ear in shock.
It all started to hit me at once.
How am I going to pay for my mortgage?
How am I going to pay for groceries?
How am I going to pay for a trip back home?
How am I supposed to just find another job?
What am I supposed to do?!
