Growing Up [Private: TheLastLion & Stormy]

[Stormy]

From this point on, the only thing that came from Nicki was just small sniffles as she calmed down and just lays in Sadie’s embrace.

[TheLastLion]

Sadie slowly rocked back and forth and stroked Nicki's back to soothe her.

[Stormy]

“I..I don’t want you to hate me.” She says in a shaky voice. “It.. it would hurt the most.. b..because I like to be with you the most.”

[TheLastLion]

"Oh, Nicki... I could never hate you. I might be annoyed with you or mad at you, but I could never hate you." She said, "And I never hate you enough to do something that low."

[Stormy]

“The reason I.. I’ve been so rough with Flash is b..because ever since he came back.. he has been taking you away f..from me.” She sniffled. “Y..you guys are always together. I don’t know if you realized, but you..you’re rarely with me anymore. B..because you’re always with Flash now. And.. and you guys always want to be in private and you’re gone. I.. I don’t want him to take you from me completely.” She said as more warm tears ran down her face.

[TheLastLion]

"You.. you thought I was going to replace you with Flash?"

[Stormy]

“It... it feels like it!” She cried. “You never spend time with me anymore. It’s always with Flash!”

[TheLastLion]

"I would never dream of replacing you or cutting you out of my life and I'm so sincerely sorry about giving you that impression."

[Stormy]

Nicki looks away. “It’s why I went out and tried so hard to find a friend.” She says. “It’s how I found Snowfall. I needed to fill that void somehow.”

[TheLastLion]

"I understand exactly what you mean, Nicki."
