Maybe This Will Help (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Nicole's POV

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my doorbell ringing. That's weird, I wasn't expecting anyone.

I got up off the couch and put my hair in a messy bun as I walked to get the door.

"Hello Miss Reesor." I was greeted by my friend Cody.

"Hey Cody." I said, my voice raspy.

"Did I wake you up?" he asked with a smirk showing on his lips.

"Maybe..." I said, a small smile appearing on my own lips.

"I just figured that I would come and see how you are doing before I leave for New York." he said.

Cody was going to college in New York. I was really gonna miss him, but it was a great opportunity.

"Oh yeah! When do you leave again?" I asked.

"In....5 hours." He said, checking his watch.

"What?!? Is today really July 15th? Where did summer go?" I said.

Cody chuckled. "Well, you've just been so busy with you're siblings so...."

My parents had died mid-May when a drunk driver flipped their car, killing both of them.

I have two little brothers. And when I say little, I mean little. Joshua is 3 years old and Payton is 2 months. My mom had him 2 days before the crash.

They were spending the weekend with my aunt who was visiting from Montana.

"Well, let me go get changed and shall we do something?" I asked.

"I have something in mind already." He said.

"Okay then, be right back." I said turning on my heal to run up the stairs.

"Wear something comfortable!" Cody shouted.

"Okay!" I replied.

I went to my closet and put on a pair of faded jean shorts and a dark green tank top.

I put my hair up in a bun with a gold head band. I applied minimal makeup and went downstairs to grab my phone and keys.

"Well shoot! I wish I could look that good with only 15 minutes to get ready!" Cody exclaimed as I walked towards the front door.

"Thanks." I said smiling as I locked the front door behind me.

"So here's what I was thinking we could do," Cody prepped me as we got into his car and drove off.

---------------------------------------------

He ended up taking me to a wonderful coffee shop where we just sat on the patio and talked about what he was planning on doing in New York.

"I'm super nervous." Said Cody taking a sip of his coffee.

"You'll do fine. I'm sure of it." I said.

"How is Carter doing?"

"Good, I was planning on giving her a quick visit later." I mentioned, grinning slightly.

Cody smiled, chuckling.

"What?!" I asked, trying not to grin.

"You always do try to think of everyone, don't you?" He said.

"Hey, I'm gonna do all I can while I have a second pair of hands helping me with my brothers."

"Isn't she only visiting for the weekend?"
