Nicole Was Looking For Anna

Nicole stormed out of the rec-room, her face beet red, teeth grinding, and a few streams of tears running down her cheeks. Her mind was in a full mix of heartbreak and pure fury, Nicole had never been rejected in such a way. As much as she wanted to be only mad at Kenny, call him an asshole, a jerk, and a fucking baby who couldn't just enjoy her body, Nicole knew it wasn't that simple. The heartbreak came from the knowledge that she knew she did this, the redhead knew that it was her fault for thinking she could just get what she wanted from Kenny without any fallout.

Rachel told her they weren't right for each other, Mindy warned her that Kenny would always want more, and Zoey had no problem telling her that Kenny wouldn't be with her ever again. All these warnings and Nicole thought that she could control it. Break things off to make sure Kenny knew they wouldn't date...Nicole wasn't ready for it. Zoey was right too, she did try and paint Rachel as the villain so that she could remain blameless during their break up. Nicole just wanted to have it simple, she didn't want to date him, but that didn't mean she didn't want to be with Kenny.

Nicole felt an ache in her chest, and she tore through the lodge, pushing through each room with puffy eyes, "Why didn't I say it? Why couldn't I have just told him that? I'm a-a fucking idiot!" Nicole cried out as she in the hallway, cupping her face in her hands. "Anna?" Nicole sniffed, "Anna, where are you?" She whimpered while quickly rushing to the stairs, missing Anna just as the blonde walked into the kitchen, trying to find her.

Nicole ran up the stairs; she needed her best friend, Anna always knew what to say, how to comfort her, how to keep Nicole calm. The crying girl abruptly burst into Eric and Anna's room, looking around yet only finding Eric laying on the bed, "Whoa, Nicole, are you okay?' Eric asked with a set of wide eyes while sitting up,

"Where's Anna?!" Nicole almost wailed back to the teen,

"She went looking for you, god, Nicole, just take a breath," Eric softly stated as he pulled out of bed, walking over to the mess of a girl, "What happened?"

"It was me! It was me, Eric! I did this all, I'm-I'm fucking-" Nicole tried to say only to collapse, falling against the teen, whose arms shot out, supporting the almost limp girl,

"Nikki!" Eric exclaimed as he felt her hand's grip onto his shirt while her hot tears started to stain his shirt,

"It was me!" Nicole repeated multiple times as Eric pulled her towards the couch and fell down onto it. Instantly, Nicole curled up on the couch, her body pushed against Eric as she tried to get some sort of animal comfort for the teen,

"What was you, Nicole? Just talk to me, tell me what happened," Eric gently asked,

"Kenny...Kenny doesn't want me anymore," Nicole cried back, "It's my fault, I drove him away! I ruined it! I-I don't know how I let it happen, Eric, I didn't want it to! Now he's done with me a-and he's going to someone else now! He won't kiss me again...he won't even look at me!"

"Nikki, hey, take it easy," Eric said nearly in a sharp tone, "It's going to be alright, maybe you just need to talk to Kenny. Let him know you...made a mistake or whatever,"

"It won't work, Eric, it won't work!" Nicole denied as she squeezed out a few more tears, "I hurt him..." She said through broken breaths, only able to hear Zoey's accusations echoing through her head, "I broke his heart!"

"Fuck," Eric sighed under his breath, sliding his hand up and down the girls back comfortingly as he hugged her, "I'm sorry, Nikki...I...I don't know what to say," He admitted. Nicole let out sharp breaths through her nose, trying to get herself under control, get her mind off of the pain and guilt that it swam in, "Let me go get Anna, she'll know what to say, I just...don't," He weakly laughed, "Just stay right here, and I'll be-" Nicole let out a whine and tightened her grip as Eric attempted to get up and leave, "Nikki, I'll be right back with Anna, just let me go,"

"Don't go," Nicole whispered back, her body slightly trembling,

"I..." Eric replied before letting out a small sigh and sitting back, "Okay, well, Anna should be back soon I guess," He mumbled out. Nicole pressed her face back into Eric's chest and pulled her body further onto him. "Uh..." Eric said while rubbing the back of his head, "Nicole, maybe you should kinda...like let me go, I'll stay here but this isn't-"

"Why?" Nicole interrupted while sitting up and looking at him with red puffy eyes,

"Well, because I'm with Anna," Eric nervously answered,

"So? Can't you just hold me? Please, Eric!" Nicole begged with trembling lips,

"Okay!" Eric quickly agreed with a nod, "Don't start crying again; I'm not sending you away, I'm...yeah, okay, don't worry," The teen said while pulling Nicole back against him, "See? We're good, don't worry,"

"T-Thank you," Nicole whimpered back as she shut her eyes and took in a slow breath, "You...you feel good,"

"U-Uh...thanks," Eric mumbled with a small gulp,

"Do I feel good?" Nicole softly asked with tilting her head up,

"W-What?" Eric stammered,

"Do I feel good against you?" Nicole repeated as she wet her lips,

"N-Nikki, C'mon, I...that's not really relevant, is it?" Eric coughed back to the girl,

"Do I?" Nicole insisted,

Eric let out a long sigh and reluctantly nodded, "Sure, whatever," He abruptly replied, hoping that would end the awkward conversation with the redhead,

"Thanks," Nicole warmly said before sniffing once more, "I just want to stay like this...I want to stay here, Eric,"

"Um, okay, right, you can...just try and calm down and feel better," Eric mumbled back as his eyes flickered towards the bedroom door,

"Eric..." Eric's eyes moved back and was started to see Nicole's face hovering in front of his. Before the teen could try and speak Nicole pressed forward, her lips needfully colliding against Eric's. The teen let out a loud hum of confusion into Nicole's mouth as the girl's hands reached up, cupping his face while pressing her tongue deep into his mouth. Nicole's mind wasn't thinking of anything besides the feeling of Eric's body pressed against hers and the good feeling that came from being able to kiss someone...anyone.
