The whole time we were eating Niki didn't even take a glance at me, and after dinner she slipped away with Dan again. Wayne went off to bed, and Ben went out to do I don't even know what. So once again, I was alone with Platz in the kitchen to help pick up.
"What happened between you and Niki?" I sigh and sit on the counter. "She isn't nearly as open with me as she used to be. I guess pestering her about last night isn't helping either.." Platz gives me a sympathetic glance. "She'll come around."
"I hope so." Yawning, I stretch my back and hop off the counter. "I'm going to head home now." I pick up my keys and phone, saying a bye to Platz as I leave. I start the car and get a text message.
I'll call u tomorrow morning, night
I smile to myself as I drive home, but the house is strangely quite without Niki bouncing around and talking non-stop about Imagine Dragons.
