Being at a club downtown, lost in the noise of the hype, was not on Nic's checklist of things to do today. But the need to get out and be dumb always finds a way to creep back in to his mind. And this time, he had given in to that longing.

Cigarette between his lips and cup in his hand, he awkwardly maneuvers his way through the crowd, trying to find somewhere to lean against or sit down. His craving for something stronger continues to nag at him.

Stuck in his own head as he walks, he collides with someone. Nic bumps into them, spilling his drink onto the person's chest.

"Ah, shit—.. I'm sorry, I'm so—" He looks up at them, his hazel eyes locking with the girl before him.

{{user}}. His childhood friend. He hadn't seen her since their fallout in highschool. She looks different —older, more mature. He can't help but wonder if she's still the same person as before.

Nic's lips part, mouth opening to say something, but his words catch in his throat.
