The Lily Underground

Miya POV

I told Liam it was okay to cry. I myself try not to show many emotions after I myself I had found our mother in a pool of her own blood when I was only thirteen I knew how tough it is loosing someone so close to you.

I wonder how Jace is holding up, I need to talk to him before he does anything crazy, and harms himself.

....

Waking up the next morning was hard everyone was in this weird state of mind, no one talked to each other, and when I went down to the kitchen, I saw my dad Niko and Xander. None of them said anything not to me or each other. As Xander was about to leave the kitchen, he looked at me, he didn't say anything he didn't need to, but he pulled me into a hug, and for a few moments we just stood there. Evelyn must really have been a kind of mother them. Just as I had never had my dad, when I needed him, they didn't have their mother when they needed her, but I guess Evelyn must have been there to fill that role.

I wanted my brothers and dad to tell me what had happened, my only question was if I should give them some space to grieve, which I chose to de. The only thing I could think about doing until I got some answers as to what had happened, was to workout a bit so I went to the gym.

There I saw Niko, he wasn't wearing a shirt, and I could see the sweat covering his muscles as he was punching the punching bag like crazy, but that's when I saw how his knuckles were.

"if you keep punching like that without bandages, you'll soon be able to see your bones, you know that right?"

Niko didn't answer he made a grunt and kept punching, the bag was covered in blood.

"Niko stop", " hurting yourself isn't going to solve anything"

"THEN TELL ME, TELL ME WHAT'S GOING TO BRING EVELYN BACK, TELL ME WHAT'S GOING TO BRING JACE'S MOTHER BACK MIYA"

Niko's face was only inches away from mine as he shouted those words, and for a moment I stood there saying nothing, trying to collect myself.

"Niko you weren't there when I saw mom laying dead in her own blood, I KNOW how awful it is seeing someone you love die, but what you're doing solves absolutely nothing, right now you should be with be with Jace, so you can be there for him, or at least you can be there for each other"

Niko slowly tilted his head downwards and then he started crying. It was painfull he was in pain the way he cried made it obvious, I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"Niko everything right now is going to feel absolutely horrible but you guys have each other. Remember, pain is less painfull when you share it"

"I'm going over to Jace's apartment" Niko said while he tried clear his voice from the grief.

"I think that's a good idea, you also have to figure out how you're going to tell Ava"

Niko simply nodded I think that if he had talked in that moment he would've started to cry again.

It worried me a lot thinking of how they would tell Ava that her mother had been killed. My father, brothers and Jace hadn't told her, they didn't want to tell her on the phone. After Evelyn had been killed, they called Ava a little while after, telling her that they had booked a flight for her to come home, and when she was home they were going to tell her.

The pain of loosing your mother at such a young age no one deserves that.

...

After spending some time in the gym I was now in my room. I hadn't spoken with my dad since he hugged me, It was yesterday but that moment felt like such long time ago.

Ava was arriving at night, and from the short conversation I had with Zack when I left the gym this morning, I understood that they would also tell me what was going on, when Ava arrived.

Truly I had not enough time to understand what had happened, why were there men shooting at us and why did my brothers and dad carry guns.

The only thing I know is that whatever they are involved in, it isn't pretty.
