So I think this story is going real great. :)

12/23/15


A month or so later...

(Remember, underline is when she's writing in her journal.)

Finally, we're home from tour- well, almost. We still have to do the California shows, but it'll be easier because we can come home every night since they're all in L.A. or near there.

I've been so worried about school, like how I'm going to catch up on work, tests, and stuff. I mean I had a tutor on tour, but most of the stuff I didn't remember or have missed since I've been gone.

School should be reeallly fun when I go back. ;(

Nikkie kicks her shoes off, then leaves the living room to go to her room and unpack.

When she gets there she turns on her TV to Spongebob.

Later that evening...

Nikkie's POV

I decide to ride my bike outside before the sun goes down.

I ride down the side walk in front of our street and stop on the one two complexes down. I remember going here once.

Wait... Isn't this-

Just then, I see Dakota walk out the front door of one of the houses on the small street. He finally notices me and stops.

We gaze into each other's eyes and don't know what to do.

"Nikkie?" he says, surprised.

"Hey, it's you again..." I say awkwardly. After that, we're silent for a few seconds.

Dakota's intensity softens. "I'm just getting my mail. We should hang out again sometime." He smiles. "Hey, where have you been? People have been wondering about you at school."

Really? People were asking about me?

"Really?" I ask. "Yeah. But you didn't miss a lot," he says as he walks over to the mailbox, grabbing the mail out of their slot.

"Except schoolwork," I murmur at the ground cheerlessly.

Dakota sits on the ground and shuffles through the mail. "It'll be okay."

He's all of a sudden being really nice to me... There's nothing wrong with that, it just kind of surprises me.

"Want to talk and catch up?"

I think for a second. "Sure, why not."

I set my bike down in his driveway and go inside with him to set the envelopes down. I say hi to his mom.

We walk back outside and sit on the other side of the street, on the highest part of the slope path that leads down to the grassy field.

"I had a dream about you a couple weeks ago," I tell Dakota. "Oh, really?" he asks. I nod.

We talk for a while, watching the sunset.

"I felt bad that you liked me and we were starting to develop something between us, then I just go and date your best friend. I am sooo sorry. I'm such an idiot!"

"No, it's fine. April was mean, and I met a new friend anyway," I reassure him.

"Yeah, and when we were together April would threaten to break up with me every time I talked to another girl," he shakes his head.

"Well, should you be talking to me?" I ask.

"We broke up," Dakota explains.

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

"Nah, I'm okay."

We watched the last bits of the sun disappear.

Unexpectedly, Dakota looks over at me and kisses my cheek.

I look at him with an open mouth smile and rest my head on his shoulder.

Scott's POV

"So I'm going to adopt her," Nikkie's mother says.

I sigh. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name..." I mention.

"Sage," she replies.

"Okay Sage, well you don't have the right to come here and automatically claim custody over our daughter," Mitch says with sass. So sexy. ;P

"Well, I guess. We still have to see how it works out in court. Which, by the way, is on Monday. Today is Wednesday, so that's in 3 days. I'll let her spend Christmas with you. Well, see you guys Monday." She leaves us with a paper explaining that there's court on Monday and we must attend.

Great, this should be dramatic.

Third person's POV

Nikkie's phone goes off and she sees a text.

"Oh, I have to go home. See you at school next week." Nikkie stands up and smiles.

"Okay, bye," Dakota smiles back.

As Nikkie gets her bike, Dakota says, "Wait, Nikkie- I forgot to ask you something..."

Nikkie turns her attention toward her friend.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asks.

Shocked, Nikkie hops off her bike and hugs Dakota. She says yes.

Nikkie rides back home, looking back and smiling at her now boyfriend.

Nikkie's POV

I get home and put my bike in the garage.

I run inside, wanting to scream of happiness.

I hurry up to my room and take out my journal.

Love is great.

I'm then called by Scott for dinner.

I hope everything will be alright with the whole court situation. I'm hoping so hard that I get to stay here, where I'm comfortable.


Heeey! *Tries to harmonize like PTX does at the end of some of the music videos*

I really hope you find where this story is going some-what interesting, because that would be really cool. :)

I'm so surprised that these updates are coming so fast! I've just had really good ideas lately, and I've been inspired to write since I finally have time. :D

Also, it would mean a lot if you guys shared my story with other Pentaholics or even anyone who would like this story, really. I hope you're enjoying it! :)

Chapter obsession: Christmas is 2 days away!

I guess that's all I have to say for now. Until next chapter...

Goooodbyyyyee!
