{6} i feel human

(Val's pov)

It was currently Friday and I didn't have another appointment until Monday, so I had this weekend to explore Los Angeles.

I did some sightseeing on my own but of course, I have no clue where to go.

The kids had already started school and I did my online classes.

I talked to nick a lot more than what we did before we met, maybe it just drew us closer.

I decided to do my hair and makeup because I wanted to feel pretty today.

Maybe being here will give me a tan, I'm so pale I look sickly.

I texted nick to see what he was doing today, he was busy but wanted to hang out later.

Probably filming tiktoks or whatever

I was alone because mom went to the store.

Nick was right, random people did start following me.

I only followed nick right now, but I had twenty followers.

I decided to film a video of a popular tiktok dance.

I had always liked dancing, when I was hospitalized I would watch videos of famous dancers.

I quickly picked up techniques and learned how to dance.

Watching a video of a simple dance on here, I quickly learned and these dances seemed to use the same moves a lot.

The dance was to a song I already knew, ready or not by Bridget mendler.

I refilmed a few times until I got it perfectly.

I posted it and closed the app, maybe it would get onto the for you page.

Hopefully not because I don't need random people seeing me.

I looked completely different than what I normally would, I looked..

Human

Nick must've quickly seen it and texted me

I saw you posted a tiktok. You look beautiful Val 🧸

I never really liked receiving compliments, it was always hard to respond to them.

He liked and commented on the video as well.

I've only gotten a few likes, I'll check it later.

I decided to order a ride and pay the driver to show me around

Surely they'd do it because they know the area.

I ended up getting this really kind girl that gladly showed me cool spots and famous places

A few hours later

Nick texted me saying that he mixed his plans and forgot that playlist was this weekend

I was a bit bummed but I understood.

I wanted to spend time with him this weekend but I'll still be able to call him.

I was finally at home, it was now eleven in the morning.

Nick wouldn't be leaving to the airport until one ish, so I decided to call him.

"Hey nick! You excited?" I asked

"Yeah it'll be a fun experience." He responded

One of his friends that I've seen in the videos was next to him.
