It's Not Meant To End (WayHaught Fanfic)

Chapter 8

One night stand. Nothing but a one night stand.

That was what Nicole was instilling in her mind as she focused on eating her lunch food. Her eyes darted to the table where Waverly and her friends were seated. The brunette still had not replied to the redhead's incessant text messages and from the cold shoulder Waverly was giving the redhead as they passed by along the corridors, Nicole could tell that Waverly was definitely ignoring her. Yet again.

Nicole should be happy about it. It'd be difficult to be in a relationship knowing she wouldn't be there for long with her condition. But the redhead had started to feel something for Waverly. Something indescribable but good. And it had intensified during the weekend. Full of longing and desire for the brunette that if Nicole couldn't control herself, she'd grab the former and kiss her.

Her thought drifted away when she heard Jeremy chuckling in front of her while he was fumbling on his phone. His grin was so wide from ear to ear that Nicole's curiosity got the best out of her.

"What's so funny?" Nicole expected it to be another hilarious meme.

Jeremy happily placed his phone on the table and looked at the redhead, his eyes vibrant. "Well, while you were gone most of the party last Saturday... Robin and I grew a lot closer that I finally had the courage to ask him out on a date this weekend. I thought he wouldn't say yes but I was wrong."

"Wow, Jer, I'm so happy for you." Nicole really was.

Jeremy shrugged his shoulders as he went on nervously. "What's the point of it anyway? Robin mentioned he has submitted applications to Boston University for college. I, myself, knew my heart is already set out for Alberta. This thing, whatever this is, between me and Robin won't work out."

Nicole could see that Jeremy had thought about it a lot. Similar to hers about Waverly and about Nicole leaving the living.

"Who knows? Maybe you both will figure it out how to make it work."

"I hope so."

Fate was indeed cruel to Nicole for Miss Shapiro had paired her with Wynonna again for another school project. Which was why Nicole was sitting on a chair by the porch of the Earp Homestead, trying to perfect a miniature homemade hovercraft.

Wynonna was not helping at all but Nicole didn't mind. The redhead got to meet their Aunt Gus and Uncle Curtis and they were really amazing and hospitable. Nicole also really liked Gus' baked pastries and carrot juice.

When Waverly came home that afternoon, Nicole received a full glare from the brunette as she climbed down from her red Jeep Wrangler.

"What are you doing here?" Waverly spat, her nostrils flaring, as she stepped on the porch.

Before Nicole could open her mouth to reply, Wynonna butted in. "Babygirl! Haught and I are just doing a school project. How was school?"

Waverly only scoffed and entered the household without replying to Wynonna.

"It was great, Wynonna... How about you?" Wynonna mimicked Waverly's voice. Nicole couldn't help but smile. "See, I told you what she's like at home..."

Nicole tried to focus as she connected two blowdryer fans together but her mind was still intrigued. "I told her about the letter-"
