The Storm [[One]] |-One Shot-|

Hey guys Before You Read ..Turn up your speakers And Listen ..Its peaceful. hehe --- I pulled my car into Nick's mom's driveway, then turned off the engine, grabbed my purse and got out of my car. Sensing that there was a sudden change of the atmosphere around me, I looked up at the sky. It turned grey and gloomy and there was a sudden chill in the air. There were news warnings going around the county all morning about a big storm coming this evening, but it was gorgeous all day and the reports don't always happen as they say. I guess the reporters were actually right this time. I looked up again, and felt a rain droplet fall onto my cheek. Then it started to drizzle quickly. I ran hurriedly up the drive way and knocked on the door. The feelings of nervousness and fear suddenly came over me as the door swung open Nick's mom stood face to face with me. --Earlier this morning I woke up from the loud music of my ringtone and vibrations from under my pillow. I flipped over from my stomach and hit the answer button as I was still groggily. I was still half asleep. "Hello? Selena?" My eyes shot open and my heart started racing. I completely sat up and hugged my knees. I've been waiting for this call for six months now. "Yes. It's me." I said as the birds began to chirp outside. "Um..Can you come by the house later? We have some news to share. I can give you the address now if—. " I cut her off. "N-No it's okay I know where the house is, I will come by at six after work." I said whispering into my cell phone. I keep repeating her tone of voice in my head. It didn't sound too well..but I have to be positive. --Present Every night I waited for my phone to ring to just hear Nick's voice. It's been six months since he was shipped off to marines. It was his last mission there so he would be finishing up his last few months in the forces. He would officially be on leave and we would be able to live the rest of our lives forever together and never apart. That's what we always told each other every day. When I got that phone call, I didn't know what to expect. I always tried to stay positive but it's so hard when you're not a hundred perfect sure if your love will ever come back to you. It was even scarier because the days within this month was when Nick was suppose to come back home. Nick's mom's face was swollen as if she was crying all morning. My relationship with her was never the strongest as it should be. She was always distant when it came to me and Nick, but she knew that Nick and I were the happiest we could never be apart because we loved each other and nothing was ever going to get in the way of our love. In our relationship we never bonded or clicked. I know it's because Nick is her baby boy and she is scared of losing him too, so she was jealous that Nick would spend most of his time with me. I mean we would say a couple of words to each other but she would just go her own way afterwards. "Is everything okay?" I exhaled slowly not thinking of anything negative. I followed her into the living room, where Nick sister and father were already sitting down. "Did Nick call you? When is he coming?" I said facing her as we both stood face to face once again. I watched her face and saw that her eyes were beginning to water and then it never stopped.
