Nico had been trying to give Karolina a second chance. Yes, they'd left things on a rocky point, but Nico owed it to everything that they'd been through to just forgive her friend and try and start over and just get back to the way things used to be. God, was she ever nervous. She'd said some pretty nasty things to Karolina, and she wasn't sure if she could take them. Or quite honestly, if she wanted to. Maybe...it would be for the best, if she didn't see Karolina. She hadn't been exactly pleasant to her last time...even if there was that small part of her that thought Karolina did deserve her yelling at her. And Nico still wasn't too fond of Karolina basically trying to sweep things under the rug and act like nothing had happened. That had really upset her beyond all reasoning.
Still....Victor was right. They had been friends for too long, and Nico didn't really like feeling scattered. Sometimes, you had to be the bigger person and try to move forward. And though Nico felt like she was always being the bigger person, she cared a lot about Karolina. She was her best friend. And really, she was some of the only family that Nico really felt like she had left. Still...it wasn't going to be easy for Nico to just move on. Sure, it had been easier with Victor, but Vic hadn't been there. Vic hadn't said to Nico what Karolina had said to her. Victor hadn't acted like Chase's behavior was her fault, and leave her to pick up the pieces after all the shit she'd been through in Murderworld.
The easiest way to get things back to the way that they were was by talking, right? So that's what Nico was planning on doing. Just going over to Karolina's place, talking, and see where things went. That couldn't hurt anything. Hopefully, it would make things better. Nico knew that she was being distant, but hopefully this would be a positive start. And she picked up that vegan pizza that Karolina liked...that she knew that Nico hated. But for the sake of friendship, Nico would eat crappy vegan pizza.
