Well… exams are finished, uni is over and I have 4 months of holidays. Life is good right now. I have decided I want this story finished so it will be! There's no excuse now so it won't be long until I start a new fic. This time I think it will be a Harry Potter one. I already have a story in mind so hopefully it will not be long before I start!
Anyway, on with the story!

H POV
It had been harder than you expected to tell Nikki the story of what had happened.
Most of the time you recalled what you remembered with a cold, detached demeanour. But there were times when the words lodged in your throat and those were the moments that you appreciated Nikki being there the most.
You felt slightly guilty for putting Nikki through this but somewhere in your head you realised that this is what you both needed and if his nightmare was to be the catalyst then so be it. It had to happen some time.
Nikki's silence almost broke you, even more than the nightmare you'd experienced.
You hoped that she wasn't trying to think of a way out of the situation and dreaded what was about to be said but either way it needed to be said. So when she started speaking subconsciously you held your breath, just waiting for the fatal blow.
But she surprised you, explaining what she had done and how she had felt when you were in hospital. The despair that you felt before she had started speaking was slowly turning into a little bit of hope. Finally the air was being cleared between the 2 of you and if Nikki was saying what you thought she was saying then things were certainly looking up.
The conversation however had taken a downturn. Nikki confessed that she was fed up of the men in her life letting her down time after time.
That was something you could never forgive yourself for. The way you treated her during and after the whole Penny crisis was unforgivable. But she had stayed by your side and was an even better friend after the heartbreak over Ana.
It had been clear years ago that she was the 1 for you, but the cowardly, pig-headed side of you denied it and in the end it caused the 2 of you worlds of pain that could have been avoided.
That was why you were immensely glad that everything was being brought out into the open.
But Nikki had stopped talking whilst you were dealing with your inner monologue and she looked slightly worried. Staring into her eyes from where she was perched at your side, you could have kicked yourself if that was at all possible in your current state.
You didn't however; you stayed silent and kept looking at her. That's when you noticed that she had placed her hand on your chest. You covered it with your own and moved your head closer to hers.
It had all started with a little bit of hope, now all that was needed was a little bit of courage…
