I'm back! I'm sorry to keep you all waiting so long, thank you so much everyone who stuck with me through it. It means a lot to me :)
Also, "Untitled Longing" is the official name of Season 2 If We Kiss...
It took me a long time to get this video done. It's going to be the "official" one, and there won't be many changes in it throughout the season.
I have another story I'm thinking about posting, but idk how to post 2 stories at once, so we'll see...
----------------
Nick’s POV. I glance around at all the nervous faces in the room. The most heart-breaking one belongs to Jennifer. Silent tears roll down my cheeks. It’s been three hours since Brooke came back. We sent Big Rob out to the ice cream place to see where they were, and the lady behind the counter said they hadn’t seen a beautiful brunette and a little blond girl. I hug the pillow tighter to my aching chest and press further up against the wall in the corner where I’m sitting. Where is she? I shouldn’t have let her go out alone. Not after everything that’s happened… “Nick… NICK!” I hear someone yell. I look up from the floor and stare at Kevin. His eyes are bloodshot. I’m not the only one who’s been crying. My tears though, are the silent ones. Jennifer and Brooke are sobbing loudly, while the rest of us are silent criers. Joe rocks Brooke back and forth, holding her so close to him it must be impossible for her to breathe. “Yeah?” I croak. I try to say it again without my voice cracking, but I can’t. “It’s all my fault!” Brooke wails for the fifteenth time. Joe rocks her harder. “It’s not your fault, Brooke. You didn’t want this to happen. If you would’ve been there, you couldn’t have stopped whatever happened, it just would’ve happened to you too…” Joe squeaks. “Nick, come here,” Kevin whispers. I try to move, but when I do, a sharp pain shoots through my heart. I wince and moan in pain. “You okay?” Kevin is at my side instantly. “It hurts, Kev… It really, really hurts…” I whimper. Kevin pulls me close to him and hugs me. I start to sob and he pulls me closer. “I know, Nick… I know…” he says and his voice breaks. Molly crawls over to us too and rubs Kevin’s back as Kevin rubs mine. “I can’t without her, Kev… I just can’t,” I sob. “I know, Nick,” Kevin repeats. Suddenly the door opens and Rob walks in. I jump up and out of Kevin’s embrace immediately and run over. “Tell me you found her. Tell me you found her!” I yell. Mom rushes over and puts a cautioning hand on my arm but I shake her off. “Rob, please!” I plead desperately. “I’m sorry, Nick. I called the cops…” Rob replies. My knees buckle under me and I sink to the floor. I start to cry into my hands and ignore everyone who tries to comfort me. No one can, they all know it. Though, to be honest, I should be the least of their problems. The Jenkins’ and Brooke, that’s who everyone should be focused on. Do I love Summer more than I love my life? Absolutely. But the Jenkins’ are missing a daughter, and Brooke is missing her quote-unquote sister. And I know, that if I lost a brother, I wouldn’t be able to stand it this long. I go back to my corner and press the pillow up against my aching chest. I press my face into it and try to drown out the rest of the room. I let hours pass without talking, eating or sleeping. I just stare at the wall with blurred vision. Finally, there’s a knock on our door and I look at it. I’m sitting closest, but everyone knows I’m not getting up. Rob walks over to the door and opens it. Two men and one woman; cops. I want to get up, talk to them, but I stay seated in fear that my legs will give out if I test them now. They look over at me and shoot me a sympathetic look. I must look like a mess; my face must be red and blotchy with tears streaming down it, my eyes bloodshot, and crumpled in a corner clutching a pillow like it’s a lifeline. I’m starting to feel dehydrated from crying so much without drinking. As if she could hear my thoughts, Mom walks over and sits down next to me. She hands me a bottle of water that I drain within seconds. My shoulders start to shake again and I lean my head on her shoulder. She rubs my back comfortingly and kisses my forehead. I overhear the cops talking to Dad, Brooke and Rob. “How long have they been gone?” Male-Cop-One asks. “About… Eight hours now…” Dad responds with a thick throat. I’m surprised by this answer. They went to get ice cream around nine-thirty. So nine-thirty, plus eight hours is… How can it be five-thirty A.M. already? I try to look out the window for a source of light, but I see the curtains are drawn. That’s why I didn’t realize it was morning. “Who was the last person to see them?” Male-Cop-Two asks. “I was,” Brooke croaks. Joe’s arms are still around her, rocking her from side to side. “Where was that?” Female-Cop inquires. “A deserted parking lot…” Brooke whispers. “Mom,” I say, I don’t want to hear any more of it. “Yes, honey,” Mom replies in her comforting voice. It brings more tears to my eyes for some reason. “Do we have to do press and tour?” I whimper. --------------------
I had to think who Jessica was at the beginning but realized it was Joy's mum...hmm, now I'm wondering if I've got the daughters name right. Sigh, my memory is crap man!
Aw poor Nick :(
I can't imagine what Summer must be going through right now or of she's going through anything. She could be anywhere :/
