Tommy laughed once more, not catching the meaning of what I said.
"Tommy," I repeated, hoping to gain his full attention.
"Hm?" He hummed.
"I said i like you?" I tried.

He sobered up quick, shaking his head.
"You like me?" He asked.
"Yeah, Tommy." I said, resting my head in my hand.

Vince was grinning like an idiot in the corner, watching all of this go down.
"Aw its love." Vince teased.

"Fuck Off Vince." Tommy laughed.
"Well, Gracie, my darling best friend," he started.
My smile dropped, this does not sound good at all.

Tommy sighed.
"Im really sorry, I do love you, like alot, but like a friend." He paused again, gauging my reaction.
I was surprisingly calm.

"I met this girl, she's pretty cool." He finished.
"Yeah, you know what? Good for you Tommy. I don't think we would've worked out great together. We're better off as friends, partners in crime. Yeah?" I said.
He seemed surprised at my reaction.

"So...you're not mad?" Tommy asked timidly.
"Nope, we're good Thomas." I said confidently.
"Sweet!" He said, hugging me.
I laughed, but Vince was nowhere to be seen.

The phone rang, so Tommy and I went to go see what was up.
By the time we got to the living area, Vince was putting on his red leather jacket.

"Where you goin? Who was on the phone?" Tommy asked.
"Nikki, and Im going to his house. You nerds coming with?" Vince asked.
"Uhh, sure?" I muttered.
"Great lets go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*At Nikki's house*
"Nikki let me in man!" Mick yelled, pounding on the door. I had never seen him so furious.
"Whats happening?" I asked.
"He just came back from rehab, what the fuck!" Tommy shouted, giving the door a solid kick.

"You guys probably aren't helping. Heroin makes you hallucinate. He more than likely thinks you guys are trying to come in and take him away, or worse, kill him. Let me try." I explained.
"Fine." Mick gave in, throwing his hands up.

"Nikki?" I said quietly.
"Gracie?" I hear him say, bringing a smile to my face.

"I better not be fucking dreaming." He mumbled, before I heard a few things being moved.
Then the big door opened, revealing a strung out Nikki, who barely managed a smile.

"Its really me, Nik." I grinned.
"Oh thank god!" He rejoiced, grabbing me and pulling me into a huge hug.
"Im sorry I did all those things to you, Gracie. You are everything to me. I need you more than I need the damn air I breathe. Fuck." He whispered to me.

"Nikki," I began.
"Hm?" He hummed.
"If you try and get ahold of this Heroin problem, we can get back together okay?" I said.

He sighed. Then nodded.
"I love you Grace." He told me.
"No you don't." I retaliated.

"What did I just witness?" Vince asked.
"I dunno." Mick said.

"Hey she got him out." Tommy said.
"No shit." Vince laughed.

"Just no rehab okay? I can do it myself." Nikki said, pulling away from the hug.
"You promise?" I asked.
"Yes baby, I promise. I'll do it for you." Nikki said.

"You better, Nikki."
