-------------
Nic pov.
Some people would consider me evil. I mean, I know I shouldn't'a asked that question but I couldn't resist.
"Well...uh....b-because we um...Greenlee?" she stammers. I turn to greenlee who looks like a dear caught in headlights.
"Well...uh....w-we...we could." she says. "But it would take so much longer be-because we'd have to discuss it a-and...other.....stuff." Greenlee says. I turn back to Kendall.
"Is it cool with you?" I ask. Her eyes widen in a way that tells me I'm so in for it tomorrow or possibly later. Hell, I don't care.
"We-" she's cut off by the door bell. "I'll get it!" she says hurriedly. I shrug and turn to Greenlee.
"What are you doing?" she whisper yells. I shrug.
"Just seeing if two of my favorite women in the world could adopt me." I say innocently.
"No, you are trying to put Kendall and I int-" she stops when Kendall comes into the room.
"Uh Nic, you have a visitor." she says. I turn to see who it is and my face lights up.
"CC! Dude, whatcha doin here?" I ask givin her a quick hug. She smiles.
"Well, I just stopped by because coach was yelling his gray hair off yesterday when you weren't at practice so I wanted to see how you were." she says. I just shrug.
"Didn't feel good." I say. Then I frown, "Whatcha doin outta school?" I ask. She smiles.
"Before you go all 'super grand-mama' on me, there's no school for the county today." she says then she frowns. "Actually, the game tomorrow is canceled." she says. I just groan and rest my head down on the counter.
"Uh, Colby, would you like some waffles or something since Dominic isn't a very good hostess?" Kendall asks. I wave my hand off.
"There's the kitchen." I say. She, Kendall, and Greenlee all roll their eyes.
"Uh, some juice maybe?" CC asks. My mom just nods and turns to get her a cup and I sigh.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because the superintendent told coach to either suspend you or he can forget playing in the game tomorrow." she says.
"What? Why?" Kendall asks standin beside me.
"Well, Nic is involved in a murder investigation and he was afraid it would make the school, well more him, look bad. Especially with all the evidence pointing at Nic." she says. I stand up.
"Whoa whoa, hold ya pom poms up, there aint any evidence pointin at me bout nothin." I say.
"Isn't any evidence pointing to me about anything." Greenlee mutters. I frown at her. She just holds her hands up in defense. "Wrong time." she mutters again.
"Yes it is. It's all over the news." CC says with a confused smile.
"We haven't had the tv on lately beca-" I cut my mom off.
"Can we turn it on?" I ask. She looks to me.
"Nic, you know we sho-" I cut her off.
"Mom, please?" I ask. She nods and turns it on. I hop onto the couch and... "Feet off the furniture." she says. I roll my eyes and get comfortable beside Colby
'more details on the Mary Smythe, Nathaniel Cambias case. This just in an eye witness report says they saw the young Mr. Cambias exiting Ms. Smythe's Paris home just hours before the police were called to the home. This witness also says that he and his mother had problems in the past to the point of her calling the police on him before. No previous police records have been released on Mr. Cambias but we are awaiting comment.' I just stare at the screen for a few minutes. 'also, the police have said they are searching for Nathaniel Cambias as a person of interest in the slaying of Michael Cambias.' the dude adds. My mom turns and turns the tv off. I stand up and look at her and she just leans in to hug me.
"I need to go to the police." I whisper. She shakes her head and pulls back.
"No we ca-"
"I really need to do this mom. They think I killed Mary and I'm a person of interest for Micheal's murder. What else am I gonna do?" I ask. She just sighs.
"We're not going to the police yet." Greenlee says. I shake my head.
"Greenlee ya can't just aid and abed a suspected murderer. And plu-" I stop and think. The night my mom died where was I?.....around the time..... "Wait! W-we really gotta go to the police!" I say happily.
"Huh?" my mom asks.
"Because I couldn't'a killed Greenlee's mom if I had just gotten outta the hospital and I spent the entire day with Mary Smythe's daughter!" I exclaim. Kendall looks confused then everything dawns on her.
"You're right!" Greenlee says.
"C'mon you two." Kendall says. "err. Three." she corrects noticing Colby's still with us.
"Uh, I'll just head home." Colby says. I look to my mom and she gets the hint.
"If it's alright with your father, you're more than welcome to come with us. I think Nic needs a friend right now." she says. Colby just looks at her before nodding.
"If my dad knew I'm sure he'd hate it. Can I still come?" she asks. Kendall just chuckles and nods.
"Sure, come on." she says.
"Um, you two go on out, I need to talk to Kendall." Greenlee says. I nod and me and CC make our way outside. I'm shocked by what I see. A whole bunch of my classmates and teammates with picket signs. They all say 'NIC IS INNOCENT!' I just stare in awe. I look at Colby who just smiles.
"We got your back all the way." she says.
Kendall pov.
I can't think of what Greenlee could possibly want to talk to me about but I'm very willing to listen.
"I just-- i-if it's alright with you, I think we should do it." she says. "T-the adoption thing. Together. Both of us." she adds looking down. I just smile and put a finger under her chin lifting her face.
"If that's what you want. It'll be more than fine with me." I say. She smiles at me.
"I want a lot of things with you." she says and from her expression, it was before she could stop herself. "I-I meant th-" I cut her off.
"I know. Greenlee, we're best friends. Of course we want a lot of things together." I try to help defuse the situation. She smiles but.....was that smile fake?
"Yeah." she says softly. "Well, lets go." she says. I nod and we make our way outside.
"Hey, do you think we should get Nic a-" I stop when I see all the people outside protesting and blocking the reporters.
"MS. HART! MS. HART! HOW DO YOU FE-"
"COULD YOU COMMEN-"
"DO YOU FEEL MR. CA-"
"IS HE DANG-" is all I hear over all the voices.
"Come on, Nic is this way." I hear. I look down and see a girl, she's around Nic's age. With caramel skin and curly hair. She leads Greenlee and I through a string of people and behind the building we live in. She brings us across the street to another apartment. I'm kind of hesitant until I hear:
"Oh! Maybe I can get a kitten." I roll my eyes and open the door. "Hey mom." Nic says. "Greenlee." he adds finally seeing his sister. I nod and he hops up helping Colby to her feet.
"You ready?" I ask. He nods.
"This is Addison, Addy, this is my mom Kendall Hart." the girl who led us over shakes my hand. "And this is my sister Greenlee." and she turns to shake Greenlee's hand.
"Before ya call the school thankin the coach for standin up, you oughta know that it was the fellas from the team that said they wouldn't play. None of us would. Told coach straight up if he takes pee wee outta the game, then none of us are playin. He had no choice." she says with a deep northern accent, new York possibly. I nod.
"Well, I'll make sure to thank the te-pee wee?" Greenlee stops. I hold in a chuckle when Nic scowls.
"Yeah, Nic is the smallest one on the team so he's got the nickname pee wee. Or fluffy cus he's so darn adorable." Addison says. Nic just scowls even deeper.
"The name's Lightening McJeans." he mutters. I just raise an eyebrow and reach a hand out to him.
"Alright, 'McJeans', lets get this over with." I say. He just grumbles walking out the door. "Where did you come up with that anyway? McJeans? Really?" I ask on our way out. He just keeps grumbling. Greenlee, Colby and I just laugh.
