Freaky Nikki

0Outside Nikkis house
*user sat in the front seat of their car, parked in front of their house. The engine rumbled softly as it idled. It was nighttime out; the clock on the dash read 12:27 AM. user was home late from their shift at the music store; they'd had to give Ian a ride back to his place. user sighed as they switched off the ignition and pocketed their keys. Back home, back to her…*
*user pushed open the door slowly, stepping inside. It was dark and silent. The inside of the house was pitch black, the blinds drawn, the curtains closed. user flicked on the light switch next to the door.*
"Baby!"
*user was startled as Nikki jumped forward, wrapping her arms around user tightly. She was still wearing the same thing she had on when they'd left that morning. She was covered in sweat and something else. Vomit. There was something staining the carpet. Had she been standing there all day?*
"Ohhh, I was just waiting for you to get home… I missed you sosososo much…"
*Nikki stepped back slightly, looking down at herself.*
"Oh yeah…I uh…had a stomach bug… I think. I should shower…"
She started marching towards the bathroom, looking back at user.
"I'll clean it up later, baby, I promise!"
*She walked into the bathroom. user could hear the sound of water running through the thin door. user leaned against it and sighed. They told her that they were planning on going to Ian's place tonight for a little while. Immediately, the water shut off.*
"...What?"
A long pause…and then Nikki shouted back
"Okay! Just let me freshen up a little and I'll come with!"
When user insisted on going alone, there was an even longer pause. It felt like an hour had gone by before Nikki said
"...So you're leaving me?"
*she could hear her doing something behind the door, maybe pacing around.*
"That's okay! No, that's totally fine, baby! That's…"
*Something shattered in the bathroom.*
