Alex Ernst//All of Me

Chapter I

I stepped out of the taxi, grabbing my bags. As I gazed at the apartment complex, I grabbed my cell and texted Liza.

N: Hey, I'm here is the door unlocked?

I walked to where the elevators were and pressed the 'up' button. I arranged to stay with Liza until I found myself an apartment. I had decided to move away from Chicago and live in California where my brother, David was. My back pocket buzzed right before the light around the button, indicating that it had been pressed, flickered off.

L: Hey Nikki! yeah, the door is unlocked, see you soon

As the doors to the elevator open I reply to her message,

N: I'll be there in about 2 minutes❤️

I press the floor number and straighten out my appearance, excited to see my brother after two years. The last time I saw him I was in California for about a month. I met all his friends and became close with them. Since, at the time, I was staying with him I became very close with Alex and Dom. I will admit, Alex is my favorite out of the two, Dom's excessive partying could be a bit too much to handle at times. The elevator dinged and I walked out hoisting my bag further up my shoulder and rolling my suitcase behind me. I walked to David's apartment and quietly opened the door. Liza is the only person who knows that I'm coming to California, so she found a way to get almost everyone over to David's apartment to hangout. I left my suitcase in the hall and silently dropped my bag beside it. I quietly pad down the hall before anyone notices. I see how many people Liza's gathered. She managed to get Zane, Heath, Scotty, Toddy, Erin, Gabby and of course Alex, Dom and David. I grinned to myself and opened my arms wide as I walked into the room where they were all sitting on the couch chatting, "Guess who's here!" Everyone stopped talking and sat in surprise for half a second. "Nikki!" David yelled running over and hugging me. Everyone began clambering around me waiting for hugs. I smiled at Liza as I walked towards her, "Thank you so much," I say as I hug her. Zane runs at me tackling me yelling "baby girl" in his mocking girl voice. Heath comes up to me next saying "How's going' girl!" David comes up to me hugging me again, "I can't believe you're here, I really can't believe it." Eventually I hugged everyone, and we had all sat down on the couch with some pizza. "So Nik, where are you staying?" Toddy asked, "I'm staying with Liza until I find my own place." David gasped, "Wait your own place? Like as in you're staying here?" he said frantically, excitement obvious in his tone. "That is correct," I say smiling like an idiot. David grins and hugs me again. "I need to get my camera, I can't believe I haven't been vlogging this!" He runs out of the room grabbing his camera. He comes back with his camera on and introduces me and says that I'll be a regular in the vlogs. He continues with a few skits, one including Alex breaking a table. Slowly people start filtering out of the apartment leaving me, David, Alex, Dom and Liza. I was catching up with all of them and all the details not in the vlogs. Liza sees that it's getting late and suggests that we leave, and I agree. I quickly hug David and Alex, Dom had left already to go get some more beer. I grab my bags and wish the two good night and leave. Liza and I get in the car and begin the silent, drowsy ride home. We stumble into her apartment and she grabs some sheets for the couch. She tosses them my way and wishes me a good night. I nod her way and say 'night.' I make the couch and fluff up my pillow. I walk to the bathroom and get ready for bed. I take my phone and see a text from Alex.

A: So glad you're back, wanted to see if you wanted to get lunch tomorrow?

I smile and quickly reply.

N: I would love to, Moes good?

I grab my charger and plug it into the wall sitting back down on the beige couch, plugging the other into my cell. 

A: Sounds great, pick you up tomorrow at 1?

I exit out of messages and set an alarm for 11:30, then responding with a 'yep.' I lie down and put my phone on the table next to the couch. I close my eyes and quickly get to sleep, excited for the next day.

I know this probably sucks but I've never written a book before, this is going to be more like a living with the blog squad and dating Alex but whatever. Thanks for reading, I'm going to try to update a few times a week.
