When Nikki was nine, his best friend, Allison, and him were watched by their fathers. Next thing he knows it, he wakes up in a hospital. He doesn't remember anything of the incident, but Allison does. Neither his mother nor her mother will tell him anything. That night everything changed: He meets Nico. He's his age, but no one else can see him. He's not even real, but he remembers the incident. Six years later, Nikki still doesn't remember what happened, but Nico is still there... and he affects Nikki's life way more than a figment of an imagination should.
