Nicole Nightingale

36: explotion

Saturday came and i had such a good feeling that. I am the only person to see darcy's good side even if she can be bad but darcy looked really down...
"Darcy what's up?" I asked.
"There is a lot i didn't tell you, i need to stop hidding it" she sighed. "Look maxine is gone, adam is now mine but what is worse is tracey is dead" she mutters. "I killed her"
"You mean tracey dovin!" I gasped.
"Shhh grace is up here" she hissed. "Yes you can't tell any one this or i will be sent down for this!"
"Yes i know i won't tell a soul you trust me right?"
"Of course i do nic your my best friend any way i think there is a lot going on with that family and also i need you keep this secret too"
"Ok..."
"Toby is not adams"
"What!"
"Yes he is not and if he finds this out i am done for adam won't love me and he will never need toby to find out his real dad"
"Ok fine that is too much... information how do you cope with all this?"
"I don't know but i feel need for once is this hard to ask?"
"No it's not"
"Hello is it ok if we join you?" James asked.
"Yes of course" darcy smiles.
"This is darcy" i said. "Darcy this my brother james and that's my friend lorie"
"Ah how nice, good to meet you all so any way nicole told me how is this date ?"
"It was amazing" lorie smiles. "James is so sweet and just someone you can cope with we get along really well".
"That's just my nice side" he laughs. "After all it's good to spend time away from work".
"Yes it is" lorie agrees. "So how is the salon i trust you have a lot of gossip" .
"Yes well it's just the usual of where goldie and jesse doesn't show up too much either".
"He is going through a rough time" darcy say "but i am sure he will be back".
"Oh my god, nicole kim said she need both of us!" Lorie said.
"Oh ok yeah she did" i said. "Bye darcy i had fun".
"Me too" she smiled. And we left.
"What was that!" I cried.
"I don't trust her" lorie says. "I know she is up to something".
"I appericate your concern but..." then lorie stopped me.
"No Nicole, i am cutting you off from her and the donvan's, which is why i told then you moved on from them and got a new job" lorie continues.
"What lorie i don't HAVE a new job to go to!" I cried.
"Yes you do" she smiles. "Neeta's job was going up yesterday so what are you waiting for you start on monday!"
"Neeta's job why what happened?" I asked.
"Neeta got fired." Lorie starts. "She was having a relationship with hunter!"
"What, no neeta is not like that!" I gasped.
"Apparently she is" she shrugged.
"Ok i will go in, i will do the job that's that" i sighed.
"Perfect!" She cries.
"No it is not perfect tell him to stop talk to me like this!" Darcy cries.
"James that's enough!" I sighed and she walks away but the turns back with a smile.
"You in on monday?" She asked.
"No sorry working at the school i have a new job" i shake my head.
"Oh no!" She sighed. "Well good luck i guess".
"Thanks" i smiled. I feel like i am the only one who understands darcy. The real darcy.

I get ready to go to the school on that monday morning.
"Early start?" James asked as he caught me with me putting my shoes on.
"Yeah, thanks for letting me stay a little while." I smiled.
"No problem, i guess you and kim a not happy are you?" He asked.
"Not that" i shook my head. "Well yeah sort of but really i wanted some space to clear my head".
"Yeah well any way good luck" he smiles.
"Thanks i will need it" i smiled. "The prizegiving is today so hopefully fingers crossed it goes well".
I head off to the school. A new job and just a new beginning why didn't it stay how it was. Hollyoaks has changed me to much but hopefully no more.

"Hello miss nightingale glad you made it" miss st claire said.
"Of course anything for the school" i nodded.
"Yes of course well without further ado let's start the day." She smiles.
We walk in and me and sally beginning with the prize giving beginnning before handing over to alfie.
"I was nevrous at honouring jade, how do you pay tribute to someone that incredible?" He began. "And then i remembered the one time i was nevrous than i am today... i was about to jump out of a plane and turned to her and said: 'jade just in case i do die i love' and she said: 'shut up loser i am right behind you'.
We all smiled and laughed. I was proud of my little brother.
"Continue" i said even though i was wanting to well up so much.
"Nowadays, when you flick on the news and scroll down your timeline or pick up a newpaper, it's so easy to get bogged down in negativity so i say remember jade" he continued. "She loved life and she loved people and she'd have loved this".
Alfie begins to cry and i give him a big hug.
"I love you alfie your are amazing" i smiled.
"Thank you" he whispered.
"Bogged down in the negavity?" Hunter echoed.
I turned to him and everyone did.
"Are you serious? This amazing teacher and no one is sticking up for her!" He yelled more.
"Hunter" sally snaps.
"What because she had an affair with a pupil we all going to turn our backs on her?" He adds.
Everyone goes silent.
"That pupil was me" he said.
"You?" Alfie gasped. "No she wouldn't have, since when?"
"Ibiza" he answered.
"Now now hunter that's enough" sally said sharply.
"Do you realse what you have done to him!" Alfie snaps.
"No alfie!" I said holding him back.
"I am fine nicole!" He says.
"He did me a favour" dad shrugs.
"Oh yeah? Is that why you put me in hospital?" He says. "Couldn't stand the fact she hated you and LOVED ME!"
Dad got up from his chair.
"THAT'S IT!" he yelled and walked to him.
"Ok that's enough out!" Sally cried.
"Alfie i am sorry son" dad said breathlessly. "But i got to get out of here".
He wanted to stop him but i got to alfie.
"Its ok you don't want him angry any more than he is leave him. I will go after him." I tell him and he nods.
"Ok"
I run after him and don't see him straight away.
"Dad?" I questioned the began to smell gas. What was he doing?
He put a light to a pictures he was shouting at neeta.
"Dad that's not a good idea i tell him.
"Shut up nicole" he hissed. Then a lot happend. One minute i see the the paper in flames next thing i know... BANG lying on the floor...
