Best Friends Forever And Always

CHAPTER 1

My name is Nicole Morris and I loved Lacey Harrison more than anything in this world. I had known Lacey since we were in the 3rd grade but it took a few years for me to figure out that I had fallen in love with her. I had grown up working on cars and motorcycles with my cousins for as long as I could remember. I guess that's the reason I became a butch and that's also the reason I fell in love with Lacey, because she was so feminine and I loved feminine women. I spent just about all my free time with her when I wasn't working, she and I went everywhere with each other.

I never finished high school so I went to a vocational school to get my GED and a degree to become a mechanic. She continued to go to high school so I took her to school in the morning and picked her up in the afternoon. We would still hang out on the weekends but with me working all week long I didn't really have time to spend with her. While I was working so much she started dating this guy Mark, well he didn't like her spending so much time with me because he knew what I was so he didn't trust me. I happened to walk in to her house one day and they were having a fight and I just stopped him from slapping her, so I kicked his ass out of the her house and threatened to beat the hell out of him if I ever found out he had done something like that ever again. I went up to her and asked her if she was okay and she said yes. I then told her the reason I was there. I told her I had to leave for about a week to go to some kind of seminar and that when I got back she and I would go out somewhere. I left the next day for California to help me get some kind of license to help me to be a better mechanic.

I got a call from my mom a few days later telling me that Lacey was in the hospital, that asshole she was dating raped her while I was gone. I had my friend bring my motorcycle home with him so I could take a flight home. I left the airport and went straight to the hospital to see Lacey. I went to the information desk to see what room she was in. When I finally found out where she was I took the elevator up and ran to her room.When I walked in the room my mom was by her bed and there was a cop at the end of it asking her questions. I guess I must of made a noise because she saw me in the doorway and she started crying.

I went up to her and hugged her that's when the cop asked who I was and my mom told her that I was Laceys friend. The cop asked me if I was the one that threatened to beat Mark up. I told her I did threaten him because I walked in her house in time to stop Mark from hitting her. That's probably why he did what he did because I was in California at a seminar so he figured he had plenty of time to do what he wanted to. The cop said she needed me to give her my statement so we went out of the room. It took a few minutes to give my statement when I was done the officer told me I might have to testify to what happened. When I was finished talking to the officer I went back in her room and my mom walked out to give us some privacy.

When I walked up to her bed she turned her back on me so I went around to the other side of the bed to look at her. She told me she didn't want me to see her like this, I told her I would love her know matter what happened to her. She uncovered her face so I could see her, her face was bruised up really bad and her lip was split. I told her what would make her think that she wasn't beautiful to me. I said i've always thought you were beautiful and I always will.
