«Can you get me home too?» asked Nikki before the "little couple" walked away. She didn't wait for the answer and stood up, reaching them. Logan acted a little annoyed but she pretended not to notice, following them to the car and getting in the backseat. «Were you planning to get home alone and...» she said.
Cristina turned her head and raised her eyebrows. «What?» she almost shouted. «No!»
Logan was trying not to laugh and Nikki grinned. Cristina rolled her eyes to the sky and smiled a little amused. «Whatever.» said looking again the road in front of her. «Actually Maheen called me and she was crying.»
«What happened?» asked Nikki upset.
«I don't know...» answered Cristina worried. «She just asked me to pick her up and take her home.»
«She won't say who she's with?» said Nikki grabbing her phone.
«Nope.» answered Cristina.
Nikki opened the texts and found a new one from the group chat she made with Ethan Dolan and Ryan Karoly. They two have been best friends since forever and she was a very close friend. Actually it was impossible not to be friends with Nikki, she was such a funny and cheerful girl.
She asked when they would come to LA and Ryan answered: "We're not telling you😏"
Then Ethan answered too. "Yea it's gonna be a surprise😏"
"Oh come on😩" she sent.
"Nah😉😂" answered Ethan.
She smirked and locked the screen.
«Are you sure she's here?» asked Logan looking around and driving slow.
«Yeah, she told me so.» replied Cristina.
Nikki looked out of the windows and saw Maheen sitting on a bench. «She's over there!»
Logan stopped the car and Nikki jumped off walking quickly to Maheen. Her hair were tied and she had mascara all over her cheeks but she wasn't crying anymore. Cristina reached her a couple seconds later and they called Maheen.
She looked at them and smiled a little. She stood up and hugged the two girls. «I'm so sorry I didn't get you at the airport, Cristi» she said.
«It's ok bae,» she answered and they took a step back.
«What happened?» asked Nikki.
«Uhm, nothing.» she said trying to clean her cheeks with her hands. «I was out with this boy I really like and nothing, I got a little emotional.»
«A lot emotional» said Cristina.
«Who were you with, Maheen?» asked Nikki. «We're gonna kick his ass.»
«No one, don't worry.» she answered.
She sighed and they got to the car and then back home.
***
Nikki was laying on her bed and all she could hear was flowing water (Maheen having a shower) and laughs (probably Logan and Cristina downstairs) while she was writing to Ethan and Ryan.
"But is she always with him?😂" asked Ethan.
"As much as Mollie is with Jake😏😂" she replied.
They replied with laughing emojis and she locked the screen as she heard the main door open. She went downstairs and saw Melanie, Asma and Matthew. She was hoping to see Jake, but the door was already closed. «Mollie and Jake?» she asked.
«Uhm, they're about to go.» Melanie answered.
Nikki ran outside and stopped Jake's car before they went away.
«Jake!» she said.
«What?»
«Do you know when the twins and Ryan are coming here?»
«I'm not sure but tomorrow or the day after.» he replied.
She went back in the house and sat on the couch next to Cristina and Logan and Asma and Matthew. She wasn't listening or looking at the tv or the others. She was just feeling so happy about Ethan and Ryan getting to LA and she just smiled.
