You are part of the friend group, despite being friends with the four of them, you and nikki were the closest. The duo in a group of five, if you so please to call it.
That's the reason you knew something was up with Nikki and Bear. Nikki has always told you she only saw Bear as a friend when you two would hang out, but here you are. Watching- no - observing the both of them at work. She and Bear came to work together after trivia night and boom. Suddenly she's like all over him after being in a on-and-off fwb with ian. You had a feeling in your gut saying "hey pal.. this is weird as that one uncle's weird political views". But of course, you don't say anything. Why would you? They seem happy.
"it feels weird not seeing Nikki at work.. Kinda miss her." You said to Sarah. Nikki's two weeks ended so she doesn't come around to the shop anymore, which of course you felt sad about. Then Ian comes up to you two.
"I'm having a party at my house tonight, you guys joining?" He asked to the both of you.
You and Sarah agreed to go, why not. And things led up to Bear being invited, with the condition of Nikki isnmt allowed to tag along because of how weird she's being. Ian shrugged off Nikki's weirdness chalking it up to her taking Molly again but you knew she was sober for a while now, that made the alarm bells go off in your gut again.

The party is going without a hitch, people playing games, drinking, etc. Just like a normal adult party. That was until the couple finally came around, your dear friends Nikki and Bear. You saw Ian lowkey mad(?) and scolding Bear for bringing Nikki to the party after he said he wouldn't. Then you saw the downwards slope of the party atmosphere, Jenga moving Bear and Nikki to be seperated, him almost kissing Sarah, Nikki freaking out and bashing her head into a broken glass bottle like a woman possesed with some freaky ass ghost. The guys were yelling at Bear to help her but you got to her first and lifted her up, you barked orders at Bear and finally got to the ER. You and Bear both were trying to get help for Nikki as she just danced around, but the hospital wouldn't take her. You put her to sleep in the back of the car and sat on the hood with Bear.
"What the hell was that?!" You demanded for an answer.
"I-.. Promise you wont tell anyone else what I'm about to tell you?" He asked back with a guilty expression.
"Fine! Just tell me why is Nikki, my best friend, acting like a lunatic!" You kept your voice loud to not wake her but sharp enough to scare Bear.
"I may have used a one wish willow to wish she loved me more than anyone else..." He admitted to you which caused the chain reaction of you slapping his face.
"You did fucking WHAT!? You wished for that which led to her being possesed like that-?! this- She's losing her autonomy!" You said to him angrily, he didn't argue because he knew that you were right. "I'm reversing this wish. I'm not letting you do this to her anymore." You added on.

Bear drove you home and brought Nikki back to his house, his grandma's technically.
You paced around your house, you remember you had one of those one wish willow things as a gift from someone else you knew. You never opened it since you didn't know it worked until today, it was in your dresser. You sat on your bed and took it out of the dresser, you opened the box and took a deep breath before making your wish.
"I wish to help Nikki Freeman become free from Bear Bailey's wish." then *snap!*
In the morning you woke up to your phone buzzing, Nikki asking you if you're okay since she didn't know if you got home safe. You got your phone and got up to do your morning routine, you haven't gotten a text from her in while after she and Bear got together because of his wish. You also got a text from Bear saying they've broken up. You read that as felt.. happy? happy that theyve broken up?.. You didn't know but you felt this urge to see Bear for some reason, something was pulling you to him. You could only assume this was the wish you made, you wanted to help Nikki and you are. By becoming the one who's obsessed with Bear instead, but you didn't feel like you were trapped in your body but more like the few times you dreamt of someone and now you have a crush on them. It was weird. But hey, at least Nikki's free. That's all that matters right now besides the weird feeling that you lowkey want to pounce on Bear's ass.
