Found Somewhere Near The End: Sequel to Lost Somewhere In Between

Chapter 2 Friend-zoning Lessons

Nikki's POV

I was literally bouncing in my seat in the airplane.

5 Seconds of Summer!

5 Seconds Of Summer!!!!!

Oh my god I was so excited!

There was only 18 hours left until I met them.

OMG!

OMG!

The plane had just taken off and a very sleepy Harry had his head up against the window his eyes softly closed.

I was too excited sleep unlike Harry boy.

But I needed to do something productive or this would get extremely boring very fast.

I unbuckled my seat belt and wondered over to where Liam and Zayn were playing a game.

"Hey Nikki." Liam greeted.

I waved as I sat down in a seat across from them.

"Where's Harry?" Zayn chuckled.

I pointed to where he was snoring up against the window.

Both of the boys chuckled and continued playing.

Where was Louis?

I looked around and didn't see him, or Niall.

Niall.

Niall had been avoiding me since yesterday afternoon.

I don't think he was mad or anything.

I think he was just... grieving sort of.

I don't even know.

But I planned on confronting him before the flight was over.

Did I mention this was a private flight?

Yep!

We got the plane all to ourselves!

Still wondering where Louis was, I was about to ask but then remembered I couldn't.

I growled sort of and Liam gave me a weird look.

"Frustrated?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Why?" Zayn wondered.

I pointed at my throat.

"Because you can't talk?" Liam guessed.

With a sigh I nodded.

"Oh that reminds me." Zayn said and then reached in a bag.

He pulled out a square shaped white board and put it in my hands along with a blue marker.

I raised my eyebrows.

"So you can talk to us." Liam shrugged. "It was Zayn's idea."

Zayn gave me a smile.

I shook my had sharply and held it back out to Zayn.

"What! Why not?" Liam exclaimed.

I gave two firm shakes of my head.

"Nikki please?" Zayn asked. "How else are we supposed to talk to you?"

The white board...

It was a sigh of weakness..

I couldn't bring myself to use it.

"Please..." Zayn begged.

I sighed.
