The Dream House Part Thirty Four
______________________________________
Third POV
"Jack, it's your turn." Wilbur said, putting down a blue 5 card.
"Ah, fuck." Jack mumbled after checking his cards, taking one from the deck.
"HAH now we know he doesn't have blue." Fundy yelled.
"What're you guys doing?" George asked, walking down the stairs.
"Playing UNO!" Wilbur answered.
"Why?" George chuckled, confused because they rarely play card games.
"He's waiting for his phone to charge." Tubbo stated.
"No, there's a whole other life other than just phones." Wilbur corrected.
"Sure." George replied, dragging the 'e' in 'sure'.
"Anyway, Dream and I are getting food for dinner. What do you guys want?"
"Ooh where are you guys getting them from?" Tubbo excitedly questioned.
"Anywhere you guys want." George responded.
"How about just pizza?" Wilbur suggested.
"Yeah, I'm down." Tubbo agreed.
"Get one of it thin crust for mine!" Fundy requested.
"Okay. Jack?" George called.
"Yeah, I'll get whatever." Jack uttered, they noticed he seemed distracted by something on his phone.
"Alright then. I'll ask the others in the group." George said.
Wilbur's POV
Well, I lost that UNO game. Fundy won. I was so close to winning when Tubbo drew a plus 4 card on me. Jack wasn't paying that much attention because of his phone. I wonder what happened.
Puffy had to leave to help Dream and George get the pizzas but wow they tasted AMAZING. Tommy was in his room almost all day, but I went in there and gave him two slices. He ate it, I stayed and ate with him.
I went upstairs and was about to have a shower when I saw my phone. I didn't use it almost all day, what's the harm with checking it? So I sit on my bed and go on my phone. A ton of notifications from Instagram obviously, some from Twitter, 7 missed calls and a few texts..?
From... Niki.
She didn't come home and others talked about her calling but didn't seem worried. Maybe that's what Jack was distracted by. I called her back a bunch but she didn't pick up, as expected. I checked the texts.
Niki :)
Wilbur!!
Hey Niki! Going to work,
ttyl, alright?
Oh, okay :)
--------- NEW MESSAGES ---------
Wilbur, are you there?
Wil I need to talk to you.
It's actually really important
I tried telling Phil

with Tommy and stuff...
Wil... please reply asap.
WILBUR I NEED YOU
WHERE THE FUCK

SORRY DIDNT MEAN TO
SAY THAT
WIL PLEASE
OMG NIKI IM SORRY MY
BATTERY DIED ANDI WAS DOWNSTAIRS THE WHOLE
DAY I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
CALLED OR TEXTED, ARE YOU
OKAY!?
I'M SO SORRY NIKI ARE YOU
THERE? DID SOEMTHING
HAPPEN?
I texted really quickly and worriedly, hence the errors that I didn't care about.
Well now I regret not having my phone. I raise my ringer sound to the highest volume, not wanting to miss another important text or call.
I was worried for Niki. The fact that she wasn't replying didn't make it any better.
I had a quick shower and went to bed.
I woke up to what felt like a blink of an eye, getting a notification.
It was 6:03, Niki texted:
its ok
I noticed it was all lowercase she texted in, I decided not to think about it. Then I replied.
Why didn't you come home yesterday?
Where were you?
The messages were seen but she didn't reply.
Did something happen to you?
Niki?
Are you okay?
im fine
You're not acting like it
Can I call you?
She saw it again but didn't reply. I face timed her, it looked like she was walking up the street of our house. Sunrise was in twenty minutes, it didn't look that dark.
"What happened to you yesterday?"
"I- I um..." She mumbled, her voice was rough and raspy.
She sounded very different, as if she's crying. Her hair looked messy, make up wasn't washed away properly.
I heard her chocked sobs, she faced the phone upwards and didn't want me to look at her.
"Niki..."
I didn't know what happened but I wanted to make sure she was okay. I plugged my earphones and put one in my ear, going downstairs.
"What's wrong?" I asked, sitting on the bottom part of the stairs.
She wasn't talking either.
She walked pretty quickly up our street, our house is right at the top so I know it'll take a while for her to get here.
She sounded like she was crying harder now, but still trying to hide it.
"Everything's gonna be okay." I whispered, not trying to wake anyone up.
I saw her camera pick up two men following her from a distance.
"Niki... There's two people behind you, they look like they're following you."
"I know." She cried.
