One Year Left To Live: A Dricki Fanfic

Chapter 6

Nicki was sat under the stars with drake. Recently they had been spending quite a lot of their time together just making the most of it really not wanting to think about how long they really had left together. They were laying on a picnic blanket with all their stuff scattered around them. They were holding hands with their fingers interlocking as they attempted to make out some of the constellations.

Nicki: do you know what this reminds me of

Drake: what ?

Nicki: Hazel and Augustus. You know the part when he says 'My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations'

Drake: oh yeah. I guess we kind of are like Hazel and Augustus. A madly in love teenage couple who are just going to let fate lead them to wherever it decides

She smiled at him. This was one of things she lived about him. Just the fact that he aimed to avoid all negative thoughts and just stick to being positive even though he knew there wasn't going to be a happy ending. They both leaned in and shared a kiss under the stars; a perfect moment for both of them.

Nicki: Okay ?

Drake: Okay.

They both chuckled before looking back at the stars above them.

Carol watched as nicki walked in from another night out with drake b

Carol: how'd it go

Nicki: it was perf. We had a picnic under the moonlight then we just lay there attempting to form the constellations of the stars. It was beautiful

Carol: aww I remember when I was your age enjoying young love

She smiled a little before wiping a stray tear. He chuckled before returning to what she was doing.

Nicki: what happened

Carol: you don't want know all of that

Nicki: yes I do

She took a seat next to her mother and listened intently.

Carol: well it was with your father actually. He was my first love

Nicki was now interested as she had never really been told about her father or why she had never met him.

Carol: we met in about 10th grade when I transferred schools. We clicked almost instantly and became really good friends. Ever since then I had a slight liking towards him and it kind of just escalated from there. I never really told him until he asked me out to dinner. At the dinner he kind of spilled out how he had also had feelings for me. Bare in mind at this point we were now in 11th grade

She chuckled a little as she wiped another tear.

Carol: we decided to try out a relationship and see if the feelings would stay after we finally belonged to each other. And they did. We fell madly in love with each other and would literally talk on the phone for hours, sometime not even talking but just the presence of each other.

She let out another chuckle; reminiscing on the moments.

Carol: then one night we decided we wanted to take it to the next level and that's how I became pregnant with you. It took a couple of months before I actually realised. The day after I found out I went and told him and surprisingly he was over moon just like I was. I had told him while I we were out at lunch. So he drove me back home and we did the whole 'i love you' and 'I'll see you tomorrow' then on his way to his aunts house he got in an accident.

She started tearing up at this point.

Carol: a hit and run that took his life

Nicki was now crying herself. The fact that she had never understood why her father wasn't a part of her life then all of a sudden it was all explained to her.
