Chapter 20: Tears Falling Down.

Nicole's P.O.V.

I sit on the plane. Looking out the window, I listen to my music.

All of a sudden, I feel someone tap my shoulder. I take out one earbud. "We're about to land," Ashley tells me.

"Shit, ok," I whisper. I put away my phone and my earbuds. I hate listening to music while descending on a plane. I'm not sure why, but I do.

Once we land, I take my phone out again to see a few texts from Dan.

From Dan❤:

i just landed!❤

i know u won't see this until later but i love and miss u so much already.

i'll see u soon, nicole. love u so so much❤❤❤

I almost cry right on the spot.

To Dan❤:

hiii i just landed. i miss you too. wish me luck on this hell-filled month.

Sent.

I walk with Ashley out of the plane. I check the time.

12:28pm.

I start to feel so confused. "It's weird how we were on there for 10 hours," I tell Ashley.

Just then I get a text from Dan.

From Dan❤:

everything will be ok. i'll be here if u ever need me.

To Dan❤:

i love you so much dan. i'll try to see you when i can❤

I feel a tear fall from my eye. "What's wrong, Nicole?"

"Nothing... let's just get to our car."

Once we get to our car, I listen to even more music. As you can tell, I'm a music freak. I will listen to almost anything.

I read my phone; I'm getting a call from Dan.

"Hello?" I say into the phone.

"Hey, beautiful. Did you land safely?"

"Yes, Dan. I'm on my way to my house right now in Uxbridge. When I get there, I swear to god."

"What are you gonna do?"

"Sleep. I need it bad."

"Can you Skype with me tomorrow maybe?"

"Of course, baby."

"I'm looking forward to it." I can almost hear the smile on his face as he says this.

"I'll talk to you later, I love you."

"I love you too."

I hang up. And that's when I lose it. Tears start to stream down my face. "I already miss him so much..."

"It's ok, Nicole," Ashley says.

"You don't get it. No one's loved me this much before. When I go to see my mom, my dad's gonna abuse me. I don't even know why my mom ever married him. I don't wanna see my mom die, but she wants me there. She might even go into hospice. I wish Dan was here for me in this situation," I say, looking like a complete wreck with a shit ton of tears running down my face.

"Not only Dan will be here. I will. If everything goes downhill, you can text or Skype us anytime you need," Ashley says.

Once we finally get to the house, I flop onto my bed. "I missed you," I say to it. Yes, I just talked to my bed. Fight me.

"Ashley, I need pajamas!" I shout from my bedroom.

"I'm on it!" I hear her shout back at me. All of a sudden, Ashley comes in and throws some at me.

I change into them and put my clothes on the floor... I couldn't be bothered to put them away.

I climb under the bed sheets and try to fall asleep.

Failure.

"Fuck this, I can't do it."

I grab my phone. Who's the first person I'm gonna call?

Dan.
