"Niki? What'd you want to tell me?" A week has gone by since Niki and Dan broke up, but they both seem to be handling it well. Niki gives me a sad half smile from where she sits down across from me at the counter.
"I've decided that I want to go back home for a year." I frown and feel tears welling up in my eyes. "I'll be back, I just need time to collect my thoughts and feelings. What's a better place to do that than at home?" She grins and I return it. "I'll miss you." I say sadly, and Niki gives me a weak smile. "I'll miss you too, but you have Platz and the rest of the guys to keep you company."
I laugh "I'm sure I'll be seeing a lot of Platz from now on then." She gives me an evil grin and winks. "Have you told Dan yet?" I ask her and she shakes her head, all happiness gone from her face instantly. "I'm planning on telling him tomorrow." "Tomorrow? When are you leaving?" Niki blinks a few times as if holding back tears. "Tomorrow night."
