Austin came back after 5 minutes with Mama Mahone, Alex, Tyler, and Robert
Michele: Oh Nikki, thank you for having us tonight
Nikki: It's ok really, well we better get going i'll drive my car and you get in your SUV
Michele: Of course
I grabbed my paper bag and clutch while Austin grabbed his paper bag with my gift in it and we all left the arena. I got my car keys and opened my car door at the basement
Austin: Whoa that's your ride?
Nikki: Yeah you wanna join me?
Michele: Go ahead Austin we'll be in the SUV
Austin: Yes!
Austin and I got in my car while Mama Mahone, Tyler, Alex and Robert got into the SUV with Dave driving it. I drove and they followed as we reached Palace Gates Village and I rolled down the window
Mike: Hey Ms. Gellar
Nikki: Let the SUV pass Mike they're heading off to my place
Mike: Sure thing Ms. Gellar
Nikki: Have a good night Mike!
Mike: You too Ms. Gellar!
I rolled the window back up and drove to our street, Austin and I kept talking until we reached the gates I used my remote that I placed in the compartment of the car and opened the gates. I drove my car in and the SUV followed as they got in I closed the gates with my remote and locked it, I drove down to the basement and they followed. I parked my car in the usual parking space and they parked beside mine. Austin and I got out of my car while the others got out of the SUV.
Nikki: let's go so all of you can sleep
I locked my car doors and led them to the door, I opened it and I saw Emily waiting for us there.
Emily: Good morning Ms. Gellar
Nikki: Emily it's Nikki, and good morning Emily
Emily: The rooms are ready
Nikki: Thank you Emily, now i'll take care of everything here you can go to bed
Emily: But Ms.
Nikki: Emily it's beyond 12:45 go to bed, I can handle it from here go.
Emily: Yes Ms.
Emily left and I ushered them inside I closed the door to the basement and placed my key on the rack and their SUV key as well.
Nikki: That's the dining room over there and right beside it is the kitchen, you guys can get anything if you're hungry from the kitchen. The rooms are upstairs
They nodded and I led them upstairs.
Nikki: The rooms on the far left side and facing each other is my brother and sister's room mine is over here Austin can stay beside my bedroom followed by Mama Mahone, then Alex and Tyler, Robert and Dave, my parents' room is in front of Mama Mahone's room.
Alex: Thanks for having us Nikki
Nikki: it's no problem, goodnight
Michele, Austin, Alex, Tyler, Robert, Dave: Night!
I smiled at them and went in my room I changed into a tank top and some shorts. I was about to start packing when I heard a knock on my door, so I went and opened it and as I opened the door I saw Austin
Nikki: Hey Austin
Austin: Can I come in?
Nikki: Yeah sure come on in
I stepped aside so he could come in, and as he did I closed the door.
Austin: You packing?
Nikki: Yeah, thanks for inviting me on tour Austin
Austin: Hey it's no problem, need help?
Nikki: It's ok, I kind of got everything I need in my mind so it will be faster if I do it
Austin: Alright then, you excited?
Nikki: Super excited
I got my suitcase and placed my going out clothes and sleeping clothes in one suitcase, my jewelry in my jewelry case for traveling, my shoes in another suitcase which has my heels, my keys, converse, nike, bathrobe, a set of towels in the duffle bag with a set of toiletries in a small bag with it. I put my laptop in my laptop bag and in my backpack with my other supplies.
Austin and I talked for a bit and it was getting late so we decided to sleep.
Nikki: Ok i'm done I need to sleep it's getting late.
Austin: Yeah I'll go to bed too, goodnight Nikki
Nikki: Goodnight Austin
Austin gave me a hug before leaving my room as he left I went into my bathroom brushed my teeth and comb my hair. When I was done I went back into my room I closed the lights and went to sleep. I woke up at around 5:30 in the morning so that was around 4 hours of sleep, then I got out of bed went in my bathroom and took a shower. After taking a bath I went in my walk in closet and got dressed, I wore a white tank top, some washed up denim shorts, and a cake rainbow cardigan. I decided not to put makeup so I hanged my towel and left my bathroom. I went down for breakfast seeing that the others were already there and chatting with my family, it's nice to see them getting along.
Logan: Hey little sis, Uncle Johnny called saying something about pictures and video
Nikki: i'll call him back later Logan and what's for breakfast?
Logan: bacon, eggs, fried rice.
Nikki: yummy thanks Logan
Logan: No problem and we already called Riverdale and they're informed about it, and since you're one of their best students they decided to send you the work while you're on the road.
Nikki: Great, now I just have to tell the girls and it won't be pretty
Lisa: Actually I called them up for you, and they're on their way here as we speak so eat up.
Nikki: Thanks Lisa
We all ate in silence and once we were done I went up to my room brush my teeth and waited for the girls. The girls just went in my room and sat down on the sofa
Willow: So what did you want to talk about?
Nikki: I won't go to school for a while girls
Ella: Why?
Meaghan: Is something wrong?
Avery: Are you sick?
Nikki: No guys i'm not sick, and nothing is wrong. I'm just gonna be gone maybe until November
Willow: Why are you gonna be gone though?
Nikki: I'm going on tour with someone ok?
Willow: What and you're leaving us?!
Nikki: Willow let me choose what I want
Ella: Who are you going with anyways?
Nikki: I'm going with Austin on his tour, he asked me to come and I agreed so did my mom and dad.
Willow: So you know celebrities now? You're all chums with them?!
Nikki: Willow what the hell is wrong with you?!
Summer: Whoa calm down Willow, Nikki wants this, she's happy just let her be
Nikki: Lisa only called you for me to tell you guys, I don't owe any of you any explanation. It's time I thought of myself rather than helping you Willow you just don't get anything and maybe when you do what we have now won't be the same then.
Before I could utter another word the door opened and I turned around to see who came in and I saw Austin, Austin looked concerned. He came up to me and hugged me and I put my head on his torso.
Austin: Hey it's ok, we need to go soon ok Nikki?
I just nodded, so confused as to what was happening between my friendship with Willow
Austin: Don't cry Nikki, anyone who hurts you like this doesn't deserve you or your friendship. Do you want to go now?
Nikki: Y-yeah l-let's go
Austin: I'll let you say goodbye to your friends and i'll get the guys to help you with your luggage ok?
Nikki: Thanks
Austin: No problem.
Austin's POV:
I left Nikki's room in a daze, what did that girl say to Nikki? I shook my head in disappointment and went to find Alex, Tyler and Robert to help me carry Nikki's baggage to the SUV. Once I found them we head back to Nikki's room
Nikki's POV
Nikki: You know what Willow I think what's wrong with you is just that you're jealous!
Willow: What should I be jealous of?!
Nikki: That I went to a concert alone and you weren't invited, that I get to have so much more fun than you do, and that I get to get a glimpse of my dreams and you never did! Just jump over a bridge and get over it Willow, you're just o self-centered and you know what? I was always here for you but I guess I was just a tool huh! I was supposed to graduate last summer but no I stayed because you guys mean a lot to me! I let all the opportunities I had disappear, and you know what, you should get over the fact that you want everything to yourself because you can't get everything! I can't believe you're one of my best friends Willow, you can never be a friend because you're just somebody who wants the attention and you'll never be appreciated with how you treat your friends. Thank you though you've gave me a push to finish high school once and for all this winter then you'll never see me again because I will accept one of the offers from the schools who had given me an opportunity last year. One more thing you will never understand the true meaning of friendship that I can guarantee you.
I stopped ranting when I felt arms around me and I turned around to see Austin.
Austin: Calm down Nikki, she's not worth your time, your tears, and your anger. Let's go we'll miss our flight and Johnny said something about your ticket in the counter.
Nikki: Thanks Austin, let's go
Alex: Whoever hurts Nikki will have to get through me you got that?!
Tyler: and Me
Robert: And me
Austin: That goes for me too
Nikki: You guys would really do that for me?
Alex: Yeah Nikki I mean even if we just met you last night, you've already worked your way up to our hearts. You're a little sister to us
Nikki: Thanks guys
Austin: Let's go the cars waiting outside
Nikki: Yeah
I got out of Austin's arms and hugged Ella, Summer, Avery, and Meaghan
Nikki: I'll see you guys when I come back
Meaghan: Of course you will, you're our best friend
Avery: We support you 100% of the way
Summer: Go make some magic in music Nikki
Ella: Rock it Nikki, we believe in you, and have a safe trip!
Nikki: Thanks guys i'll see you soon!
I was about to carry my bags when the boys gave me a look, I sighed and just went ahead since it was no use to argue with them. As we got downstairs I saw my parents and siblings so I hugged them… I sure would miss them, I would miss Logan's cooking, Lisa's interior expertise, Dad's hugs, Mom's laugh.
Tristan: Use your credit card alright princess?
Nikki: Yes dad
Kelly: Get a lot of rest alright sweetheart?
Nikki: Yes mom
Lisa: Don't forget to call us Nikki
Logan: Don't forget to do your homework
Nikki: I won't forget and as if I could forget homework Logan
Logan: You got a point
I just laughed and we got into a group hug. We all got into the SUV and drove off to the airport with Dave driving. My parents can't come because they have work so does my siblings so it was good to say goodbye to them for now and I can't wait to see them again when I get back home.
