HelpRe: Array's Dream Family Congrats: The One
in reply to a message by Array
Les met five foot nine, blue-eyed, with long, wavy brown hair, Nicolette Marissa Bryce, his beloved Nico, when he was picking up a drunk friend from a party. Nicolette was attatched to his friend's arm, determined to have her way with him, so Les brought her to their apartment too. The next morning she woke up on their couch with no idea how she got there. She was very resentful of Les, and stormed out of the apartment.
About three months later, Les got mugged getting off of the sub-way. He happened to run into Nicolette, who convinced him that he should get to a hospital, and waited with him while he was in the ER. After that, Les asked Nicolette out to dinner, to make it up to her. Nicolette decided okay, but told him not to get any ideas, because he was too short for her.
At dinner they got to know each other. Nicolette told Les about how she had stopped partying. LEs told Nicolette about his sister. Nicolette told him that he had issues, and she didn't like guys with issues. Les pointed out that everyone has issues. Nicolette told him to go to hell. She got up an left, but in her haste forgot her purse.
Les brought it home and found a cell phone inside. He called the number labeled "Home" only to find himself in a conversation with Nicolette's parents, Jack and Diane. He left his number with them. The next day Nicolette called and asked him to meet her so that she could get her purse back. When they met, Nicolette asked Les to come with her to dinner with her parents the next week. It would be a huge favor to her, she said. Her parents liked Les after their phone conversation. If they thought she was dating Les, they would sotp bugging her, and she would be free to date her one again off again boyfriend, Tim Coltrane, a bassist in a punk rock band called Rasputin.
Les told her to go to hell, and said her boyfriend had a rediculous band name. Nicolette offered to pay him ne hundred dollars. Always eager for more money, Les agreed.
So, it became a routine. Every Sunday, Les and Nicolette would have dinner at her parents' house. She would pay him. However, as the weeks went on, it became less and less about the money, and more about the conversations they had on the car, at the dinner table. Les had fallen for Nicolette. One night, he told her. She called him a bastard and said he'd ruined everything. She told him that it was all over, and that he could go the hell. Again.
Les went back to his apartment to sulk. About four months later, Nicolette called, asking if he wanted to have coffee. He thought about tell her to go to hell, and then said yes.
Over the next few months Les and Nicolette began to see each other more and more. They started becoming more and more a couple.
Eventually, Nicolette told Les what her issues were. A few nights after she met Les for the first time, she and her best friend Amber were at a rave doing ecstacy. Turns out their dealer had tampered with the pills. They both overdosed. Luckily for them, a third called an ambulence. Nicolette arrested on the way to the hospital and was legally dead for roughly four minutes. Her friend Amber didn't survive at all. Though nearly a year later, Nicolette admitted to having problems with her memory and horrible feelings of guilt that she survived while Amber didn't, as well as a preoccupation with death. She couldn't seem to get over the fact that she had died, and yet was still alive. Les told her that that was alright, and she was relieved that he didn't judge her.
Currently, they are living together. Les is finishing edited on his first film, but also continues to work as a line editor. Nicolette works as a travel adgent, but is trying to write a novel about her college years.
