My head bangs onto the pillow as I spread my arms out along the old creaky bed. An owl hoots outside my window as the moon light sends beams into my room. My eyes squints open the brightness hitting my face making me rub my eyes. Lifting myself up into a sitting position, I dangle my legs off the bed and turn to the small window. Without a second to spare I get a chill down my spine making me turn around. Nothing is there.
I take a deep breath and sigh feeling a bit shaky. It's stupid really, there is nothing to be scared of. I mean there is no threat, the bus should be getting rid of our scents and keeping us safe. It will be fine I am just being paranoid.
I rest my head back down and curl up under the covers sighing and closing my eyes. This is stupid. Everything is stupid.
My eyes slowly peel open the sunlight slipping through the blankets. I look around and realize I am wrapped like a burrito, it is quite comfortable. My legs move closer to my body making the blanket move up, covering my cheeks. It's so warm and nice, I don't want to get up and stress about the family. I know that's unfair of me but i'm so tired, cant I just sleep all day?
"Nico?" A voice asks opening my door slowly. I cringe at the sound of the opening door and close my eyes again. I know it's Hazel coming to wake me up, it's a real shame. To my surprise there is another voice that gets my attention in seconds. It's Will's voice, I can tell by the warms and pitch. My eyes flutter open again and I move my head to face them. Will smiles at me and tells me good morning. Hazel grins and leaves the room.
"Did you sleep well?" He asks sitting on the bed next to my body. I nod and slip my hand out from inside my blanket burrito and grabs his warm one. His hands are always warm and nice, it makes me jealous.
"You seem comfortable." He says laughing a bit. I smile and roll closer to him, making him laugh more. He then leans down and kisses me on the cheek. I raise an eyebrow and kiss him on the lips. We stay there moving our mouths together and everything seems warm and calm, like all the stress has just vanished. My hand moves through his hair and my other one slips out and rests on his waist. He leans over me moving my have to reach out for him. That's when we hear a cough behind us.
I jump up and ram my face into Will's forehead banging heads. My face burns bright red and Will grabs his head in pain groaning. Jason holds back laughter covering his mouth with his hand. I curse in italian rubbing my head in agony.
"Sorry." Jason says laughing losing control of it. I grab the pillow and shove it over my head rolling on my side facing away from them. That's when I mumble don't tell Hazel and he starts laughing harder than before. Will is just red faced and rubs his neck awkwardly in agreement. We also agree not to tell Reyna.
"What time is it?" I ask turning back to face Jason who smiles at me.
"9:30." He answers. "I made Hazel and Will come up to get you because breakfast is soon but I see that you are already busy eating so."
"Jason!" I scream putting the pillow over my face again. Will starts laughing and Jason joins making me feel dead inside. "I hate you all." I mumble.
"Sure you do." Wills says. "Now come on we need to get down there." He adds making me sigh in annoyance. I get up anyways and push Jason making him put up his hands in surrender, I hate my friend group sometimes. I chuckle myself.
We start to the main house walking together. I yawn and rub my eyes making Will panic and look away blushing. I feel proud of what I accomplished and go back to my normal expressionless face.
"Good morning boys." Will's mother aka Marie says with a smile like always. I tell her thank you and we make our way to the big table where all of Wills family sits. I sit over by Reyna and Jason to keep Jim from thinking anything and I realize that it's the first time in almost a year that I haven't sat with Will during dinner. I shake my head, what is wrong with me?
That's when I realize Jim makes his way over and sits in front of me smiling a fake smile. The real one would be cruel and mean. I look up at him my face blank and bored looking, and raise an eyebrow.
"Good morning, Nick." He says still smiling. Nick? What is he, Mr. D?
"It's Nico." I correct. "Good morning." I add so I don't sound like a complete asshole. It's Nico, also by the way I was totally making out with your son back there. Not to mention we are dating and i'm gay. Yeah I need to show this bitch more respect for Will's sake, but only for Will not for this piece of shit.
"Ah my bad, Nico." He laughs a bit making me sick. "So how have you been sleeping? I hope our 2nd guest house has been working for you." He asks. Guest house, sounds like some rich kid talking about his 5th boat and 22nd pool.
"Yes, thank you very much. I have been waking up in the middle of the night but that's normal for me so don't worry." I answer still keeping my blank expression.
"Good good, sorry I was just worried a bit. I would hate to see Will's best friend not sleeping well, I would feel like a very bad host." He smiles and I shake my head.
"You have been very kind, thank you." I lie through my teeth. "You have a very nice property." I add trying to make him feel good about himself. He nods thanking me. Then he looks at me squinting his eyes and nods again. I raise an eyebrow.
"Oh yes sorry I was just trying to figure out your godly parent. I mean I know all about that so it got me curious. Forgive me, Nico."
"Oh no that's fine, I understand." I say feeling a bit annoyed.
"I'm glad. Excited for the baby shower today?" He asks. "I have been waiting for a very long time. Kinda exciting to get another child, it's like a replacement of a failed one." He laughs. "Im messing around, you can't replace a child." He continues to laugh and I feel a flicker of panic fill my bones. What does he mean by that, a replacement for a failed child? The thought makes me nervous, but I try to ignore it even though it must mean something.
"Yeah you can't replace a child." I agree looking at my plate of eggs.
"May I ask you something?" He says looking up at me. I look back up and raise an eyebrow. "Nevermind, we can save that for later." He says. "Enjoy your meal." Then he gets up and leaves making me feel very uncomfortable. Jason raises an eyebrow and I look away unable to know what to say. I get up and walk outside taking a shaky breath.
This will not go down well. When Will comes out there is no chance Jim will allow him here.
