Apologies Julie And The Phantoms Fanfiction

fire

Me and nick are still talking when the bell rings. We walk out of the music room and Carrie's standing in front of the door.
"Who is this?" She says in her signiture fake sweet voice.
I look at nick panic in my eyes.
She can see me.
Nick notices this and grabs my hand.
"No one." He says he pulls me along behind him.
"I don't thinks shes no one. Who is she? I'm your girlfriend! Nick answer me!" She shrieks.
He turns to face her, clearly angry.
"Who she is is none of your concern and I'm your ex, you're my ex, we are nothing." He says coolly, with an icy undertone.
He storms off still pulling me along with him.
carrie chases after us angry.
We finally lose her about a block from the school.
We sit there catching our breath.
"Nick how... could she see me?"
He walks up to me and puts starts running his hands over my arms trying to soothe me.
"I dont know, but we'll figure it out." I smile when he says we.
He leans down and gives me a quick kiss and looks down at me.
"You dont get to ru- wait where did she go?" I look at nick and he looks at her , knitting his eyebrows.
"None of you business, now leave me alone."
He storms off and I follow him.
I follow him until we reach a house.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"My house." He says smiling.
I follow him in and hes immediately greeted by a woman who I'm guessing is his mom.
"Hey honey, how was school." He puts on a smile that I can tell is partially fake.
"It was good. I've gotta go do my homework I'll be down in a little bit."
Suddenly a tiny figure tackles him.
"NICKY!"
He picks the girl up and she wraps her arms around his neck.
"Hey sis. How was school?" He asks her.
"It was good. We had art today." The girl says smiling.
"That's good! Did you draw anything."
"Yep." The girl I'm assuming is his sister, gets off of him and runs to her backpack on the table.
She pulls a piece of paper out and instead of a picture of her family or a butterfly or something like that, shes drawn a piano.
It's not bad at all. I dont have to fake being impressed by it like reggie used to do for me.
"That's so good!" He encourages her.
I smile at how he is around her. It reminds me of me and reg.
I hear a door open and a man shouts, "I'm home!"
The little girl runs to him the same way she ran to nick.
I smile at them. Nick gestures for me to follow him.
"I'm gonna get a head start on that homework." He tells his parents and they nod, smiling.
We get up to his room and I look around.
Theres an electric guitar and an amp in the corner, there are different posters lining the walls, and there are a few different fedoras sitting on the dresser.
"This reminds me of my friend Luke's room. I mean he had beanies instead of fedoras." I laugh.
He smiles.
"Were you guys close?"
"We are close. I mean we were two years apart when we were both alive. He always treated me like I was his daughter and his friend though."
"Wait did you guys die together?"
"Nope. I died two years after them." I say looking at my shoes, preparing myself for the next question hes bound to ask but instead he just says.
"Want to play 20 questions?"
"Why?"
"Because we've talked alot and we've gotten really close but I dont know much about you and you dont know much about me so 20 questions." He says smiling.
"Okay. You ask first." I say.
He sits down on his bed and I sit next to him.
I lay my head on his chest and he smiles and wraps an arm around me.
"Okay, what's your favorite color?"
"Navy blue. Okay my turn. Favorite food?"
"Pizza."
"Burgers are far better but whatever."
He laughs.
"Um favorite book?"
"I'm not sure. I used to read alot. Probably alice in wonderland." He smiles.
"Um... okay my turn. When did you start playing the electric guitar?"
"When I was 6. I started with an acoustic but when i was 12 i wanted to try something a little different so I started playing the electric guitar."
"That's a lie. You just wanted to impress the girls didnt you?" I joke and he just rolls his eyes playfully.
"My turn." He says.
"Ha, avoiding my question are we?"
He rolls his eyes again and asks his question.
"Okay let's dig a little deeper. How did you die?" He asks softly.
I get nervous and hesitate but I figured I should tell him.
The words wont come out of my mouth. What if he looks at me different? Or steps around me like I'm made if porcelain like the guys and julie?
Finally I just hold out my wrist.
He gasps lightly, and cradles my hand slightly.
I cant bring myself to look up at him.
After a minute of silence he cups my cheek and forces me to look at him.
He pulls my sleeve back down and just wraps his arms around me.
"Your turn." He says lightly.
I chuckle and ask my question.
"Umm... how many times have you and carrie broken up and gotten back together?"
"Umm honestly I dont even know. Maybe at least five?"
"You guys are the most toxic pair of people I've ever seen."
"I know. Its unhealthy. Mom wont admit it but she hates her."
"Well I'll admit it. I hate her." I say. He laughs.
"Okay last question because this is a really personal question and I dont wanna overstep and if you dont wanna answer it thats totally fine-"
"Just ask." I say.
"Why did you do it?" He says quietly.
I clear my throat and bury myself deeper into him.
"Well, after my brother and best friends died life wasnt the best, my dad drank constantly, I used to have to pick him up from bars constantly, almost every weekend. Then he left, and it was just me and mom. Mom had been in a depressed daze, wouldn't eat or sleep, I had to take care of her. Then my boyfriend of three years cheated on me, as if I didnt have enough trust issues anyway and then... um... I got... um...," just spit it out I silently yelled at myself, "I got pregnant with his baby, I was going tell him but then I found out. A couple months later I lost the baby and that was the last straw. God I've already explained this so many times. I must sound so pathetic."
"You dont sound pathetic. You've been through more than most people go through in their entire life. You are incredibly strong. I probably would've broke much faster than you did."
"You're a really good person." I look up at him and give him a small smile.
"You're an even better one." He says.
He moves closer to me and I do the same, our lips meet and it's like a fire has been lit inside me.
We kiss until we hear a knock at the door.
We quickly separate, and I move byto the chair by his desk and act like I'm working on something. He grabs his history book and sits it in front of him.
"Come in!" He says.
"Hey hon- oh I didnt know you had company" his mother says.
"Sorry. I kind of just slipped in quietly."
"No problem," she says smiling at me, she turns to him and says, "when you're done studying I need you to help your sister with her math homework." He nods and she walks out.
"She could see me too!"
"Wait, I have a theory." He says.
"Okay bill nye, what's your theory?"
"Kiss me."
"What?"
"Just do it."
I walk over and give him a sweet kiss.
We pull away and he tells me to sit in the chair again.
"HEY MOM?" His mother walks in.
"Yes honey? Where did your friend go?"
"Oh she just went to the bathroom. I was just telling you that I'm about to walk her home." His mom nods and walks out the door.
He runs over and kisses me again.
"I cant believe that worked." He says smiling giddily.
I smile back at him and laugh at how exited he is.
