Broken Friendship

Part 10

Meek POV

So we were going home for the holiday, it was thanksgiving break. Nicki was crying half the day. I don't know why and she won't tell me.

"Baby what's wrong?" She shook her head. "You wanna see your mom?" She also shook her head. "Why don't you wanna see yo-.."

"Meek stop!!" She yelled and I put my hands up.

"Damn baby, my bad." She said as we were in the back of my mom truck.

"Hold her dammit." My mom said looking back at me.

I grabbed her and put her in my lap. I rocked her so she could calm down.

"What's wrong butt-butt?" My mom laughed.

"Awwe that cute!" She giggled. "Butt-butt... I'm glad my son has a heart. Other boys think they to tuff to baby they girl." I chuckled.

"She not my girl." My mom looked at me from the view finder.

"Then why she got a nick name? And why you holing her?"

"She a real close friend. We still need to figure each other out." I said and she nodded.

"why have you being crying the whole ride ma?" I asked Nicki looking down at her.

"I just wanna go home." She said and I screwed my face up.

"I just said do you wanna go."

"But that's the thing meek, I can't." She said. I was still so confused.

"Why can't you go home?"

"I don't wanna talk about it." She said and I shook my head.

"Hey wassup everybody!" I said walking in and they all hugged me.

"Hi." Nicki said softly and shyly.

"Hi cutie." Half my family came up to her and greeted her with hugs.

My mom pulled her into a room and I looked confused the whole time.

Nicki POV

"Everything's going to get better pooh." Ms. Kathy said and I grabbed on her tight and she hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"P-promise?" I said and she nodded and kissed my Forehead.

"Trust me, every holiday you can come here ok?" I nodded and walked out the room with her. She was the only one who knew my story.

"Wanna tell meek?" she asked me and I shook my head.

"Tell me what?" Meek said over hearing my conversation.

"Nothing." I said and he shook his head.

Meek POV

"We'll be back ma." I said and grabbed her taking her to my room before I moved to college.

"Whats wrong butt-butt?"

"Memories." She said.

"Shouldn't I know about these memories?"

"No, how do I know if I can trust you?"

"You trust my mom and you just met her."

"Actually, I didn't just meet her." She said and I  screwed my face up.

"Then how you know her?" She let out a sigh.

"2 year ago, my mom and dad got into a really bad argument. I was in my room, on the phone with this boy, I forgot his name." She said and I bobbed my head.

"Yeah, yeah. Keep going." I said and she giggled slightly.

"Anyways, I was talking to him because he knew how to calm me down. I would call him every time they fight. He would pretend to hold me on the phone. One night it got serious, she got mad and my dad left. I never heard from him again. My mom came in the room and told me she was going to the store. She never came back either. I was 15 In a house by myself. I waited and waited. She never came home. It's s-sad to talk about because I don't know if she's dead or alive. I couldn't even talk to the person on the phone. It was so weird."

"How long ago was this? I have a similar story." I said Re-thinking things.

"2 years ago. " I nodded.

"They guy on the phone kept asking to come over and comfort me. I kept my wall up and said no, but you wanna know what's weird? I jumped right into your arms. That's never happened before. It doesn't matter how much I want you, I never jumped in a mans arms unless I knew them for months. I find that really weird." I just thought.

"Yeah that's crazy, maybe it's something about me. So what helped you get through this?" I asked her.

"Um well.. Every night we were on the phone he said a motto to me, only we knew. it went...."

"Ohh princess things are going to get easier." We both said at the same time and she jumped out my arms.
