-Chapter Four-
~Nico's POV~
Nico was coming home from his basketball practice. He was tall so he felt it was the right sport for him. He insisted he walked home today because he wanted to prove to his parents he was strong enough to.
He was running home rather than walking. He wanted to show his father how fast he could get home.
He saw his house over the hill and also saw no car parked outside. Surprised, he wondered if he got home too fast. Thankfully though, he saw T.R.'s car parked in their neighbor's driveway.
Nico was too young to recognize how rude it was of him, but he let himself into the household. He heard a radio playing and came to the conclusion that the two were listening to a game or something. When Nico made his way to the living room, he was mortified.
He saw T.R. and Tony on the couch together, and even 10-year-old Nico knew they were more than friends. Nico let out a blood-curdling scream, causing both to look his direction, merely seconds before he turned and bolted out. Nico saw Jacob pulling up to their house with Andrea in the passenger seat.
"MOM IS AT MR. TONY'S HOUSE!" Nico shouted.
~Jacob's POV~
Jacob was more scared than Nico was. "Watch your sister," Jacob commanded Nico. Jacob then proceeded to run to Tony's house, giving Teddy no time to cover up his cheating antics. Jacob kicked down Tony's door, and see Teddy and Tony near the radio. "YOU."
Jacob said to Teddy with a cold stare. Teddy was completely petrified. Unable to move Teddy barely whispered the words, "s-sorry?" Jacob was fuming.
"GO AWAY!" He yelled.
"I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AROUND HERE EVER AGAIN!" Jacob screamed. The walls of the house were thin, so the neighbors could probably hear everything, including Nico and Andrea.
~Andrea's POV~
Andrea was crying. Nico hugged her, trying to calm her from the shock, even a little bit. She sobbed onto her big brother's shoulder, unable to tell what was even going on. Nico seemed to know something, he seemed to know… everything about what was going on.
"Shhhhhhhh," Nico told Andrea. It was comforting to have him there, but Andrea wasn't getting any better. Andrea loved both of her parents and wanted to see her mother again, but she also never wanted to see her again because of the terrible things she did. Looking up at Nico, Andrea asked,
"Why is Mom going away?"
Nico's only reply was,
"Andrea, Mom was being a little bit too friendly with Mr. Tony."
Andrea burst into tears and eventually cried herself to sleep.
~Narrator's POV~
Though everything in their lives were in shambles, Nico had a plan.
