Chapter 18: Home Again.

(Nikki's POV)

Four days later it was unfortunately time to go home, I so did not want to go back home and back to school. I loved spending time with Nick and his brothers and my friends, so when the time came to leave no one wanted it.

It took four days for us to drive back to Cali (straight through) on the guys tour bus from New York. Once we arrived in Cali we switched to the black SUV we are currently in. On our way to my house after dropping off Dani.

"Here's your street," Bob yelled back to us as he he made a left onto my street.

I sighed and looked at Chloe. "Are you staying?" She nodded.

We kissed our boyfriends goodbye as we pulled into the driveway.

"I'll call you later," Nick said handing me my bag. The rest of our luggage was already dropped off.

I smiled at my boyfriend. "Can't wait."

Chloe and I made our way to the front door. She waited patiently as I unlocked the door, and before we walked in.

"Oh my god, Mandy!" I exclaimed stopping to step into the hall closet to hang up my coat as well as Chloe's. I heard footsteps in the hall so I continued. "We had the best time!"

"Nicole Abigail Evans, why the hell are you on every magazine cover?" I froze upon hearing that voice. I knew who that voice belonged to and I was suddenly very shocked and a little nervous. Slowly I made my way out of the closet to be met with cold green eyes glaring at me.

"N-N-Nate? What are you doing here?" I stuttered out.

"I came home for a two week leave." He answered, his gaze not wavering. "You can imagine my surprise to see my baby sisters face plastered across every magazine in the airport. Than when I come home I find this one," He motioned to Mandy who looked crestfallen as she stood next to Nate. "covered in tattoos!" My brothers glare hardened more. "Now answer my question."

"I was in New York with my boyfriend." Wow that came out way stronger and way calmer than I thought it would.

His eyes widened and I instantly regretted my boldness. "Hell no," he screamed causing me to flinch slightly in fear. "that is it! You are not staying here."

Finally Mandy stepped in. "Nate..." She began her attempt to reason with him. "Don't you think you're being a little too drastic?"

His glare turned to her. "No, I'm not. I can't order you around anymore, but she," he pointed to me. "is going to boarding school, far away from here."

"What?" Me, Mandy and Chloe all yelled. "No!"

"One simple request, that was all I ask and you go behind my back!" He was full on pissed. "God, sometimes I wish it was you two instead of Mom and Dad."

I couldn't speak from than on. Or perhaps it was that, for that moment, I forgot how to speak. As tears ran down my cheeks I felt the impact of his words.

"Nate," Mandy whispered, tears in her eyes as well.

"No, Mandy, just the hell up for once. She is sixteen years old, she doesn't need a boyfriend. He'll just rape and abuse her. Guys at this age are jackass'."
"No he won't," I screamed coming to the defense of my boyfriend. "You don't know him or anything about him Nate."

"Look dude," Chloe said stepping forward. "stop pretending you know my friends, okay? Stop pretending you know Nick. You don't know Nick, Nicole, or Mandy."

"Chloe, he's our brother." Mandy said softly.

"I know that," She said glaring up at him. "but from what you tell me he hasn't acted like a brother in years. He doesn't know anything about you."

I smiled and hugged Chloe when she walked back over to me. "Thank you," I said tears running down my cheeks as Mandy moved to hug her too. When I turned to face Nate again stronger with my best friends by my side, I noticed Grandma standing behind him and...She. Was. Pissed. Off.

"Chloe Nikki call Joe and Nick and see if they can drive you girls to a hotel." Grandma said walking towards us.

"What about Mandy?" Chloe questioned.

"She's going too," She affirmed. "and you go to a hotel not their house. The boys just got home from tour, it's family time."

"They aren't leaving this house." Nate yelled.

"Go call now," Grandma said calmly, before turning to Nate. Than she glared. "Yes Nathan they are."

As we climbed the stairs we chose to ignore the extremely loud conversation knowing we'd just end up in the middle of it again.

(Mandy's POV)

As soon as we were far away from Nate, in the safety of my room, Nikki broke down sobbing. As I comforted her I heard Chloe on the phone, most likely talking to Joe.

"Joe's taking a shower and Nick's taking a nap so Kevin's coming," She explained five minutes later. "Nikki, hon, calm down..." She soothed.

After ten minutes the doorbell rang and the yelling downstairs stopped. Five minutes after that there was a knock on my door. I opened it to reveal Kevin. Instantly he wrapped me in a hug. Through the months Nick and Nikki have been dating I'd become close to all three of the boys. After hugging me he moved to Nikki and hugged her tightly. She began to call down and her breathing regulated but she was still crying pretty hard. After two or three minutes Kevin moved to help me finish packing.

"What'd he say to her?" He asked me in a whisper.

I gulped back the lump in my throat. "He said he wished it was me and her instead of our parents."

Never in my life have I seen somebody's facial expression change that fast. His jaw tightened and his usually soft hazel eyes darkened with anger.
"Let's go," He said sharply, grabbing both of our suitcases. Obediently we followed him down the hall and downstairs. As his hand reached the door handle Nate's voice stopped us. "Go run away and get high with the rock stars don't come crying to me whe-" And Nate was on the floor. The punch was a blur one second Kevin had a death grip on the door handle, the next he's facing Nate and a flash later his fist is red from the punch and Nate is on the floor.

"Now see," Chloe sneered down at him. "that's something a brother would do. Not your shit."

"Come on," Kevin said opening the door. "Enjoy the bloody nose jackass," He said over his shoulder.
