New year

Bella had finally packed her belongings, she looked disgusted at Vallea and Domenico. She knew how Domienico felt about her, but for the both of them to side with a girl either of them hardly knew was preposterous. Nicolo gave her the could shoulder without a goodbye. She was going home to her parents for the remainder of the Christmas vacation. Nicolo had stated he no longer wanted her there and never to return. They were over and she as free to date and screw whoever she wanted.

The snow had began to fall but it didn't stop them from training it had become more intense, the pool had been covered a month ago, they were expecting bad weather anytime soon and snow had been forecast for at least the next month or so so they had to train inside once the snow had covered the grounds completely. Things were set to go back to normal now Bella had gone.

Domienico would miss sharing his bed with Val as they'd become extremely close in the past months and he wasn't sure how he could get through it now she was going back into Nicolo's room. He really loved this girl and he knew she felt the same though she didn't share it around his brother. He had helped her to return the clothes to Nicolo's room, though he wanted her with him. Nicolo wanted her back in his room which had pleased neither of them. New year was quiet they didn't really talk much and the snow was coming down fast.

One week later.

The snow hadn't stopped falling in the last week and training outdoors had been postponed and had been in the gym and sports hall until the snow was completely gone. Vallea and Domienico still went outside in their thick jackets and layers of clothes and snow boots. Nicolo had promised a day or so of skiing at the weekend, but until then outside would do.

They trenched through the back of the house and gardens on their snow boots rolling up the snow balls, joining them together to roll up to make bigger ones to make a snow mane before a full blown snowball fight laughing hysterically as the snow crashes against our coats smashing.

Nicolo stood laughing. "You two are so childish isn't it about time you grew up and acted you age" He said, laughing shaking his head.

The snowballs crashed, smashing over him. He stopped laughing. "You really didn't just do that did you?"

They grinned evilly laughing as Nicolo grabbed the snow into his hands, making snowballs throwing at them the smashed against them and he laughed. "And you said we needed to grow up."

The snowballs flew in the air smashing against all of them exploding in contact as the three of them run around laughing. Hauling snowballs at one another laughing he'd never felt like this before until she came along she had made him more relaxed and happy. He saw it in Domienico's eyes too.

He was so happy she'd influenced them in different ways apart from the love they shared for her. She had so much admiration and thy were both suprised that she'd never tired to run or was she still planning to do so?

Nicolo called time out as it was growing colder and getting darker, they all went inside stripping of their wet clothes slipping into some clean and warmer ones. They all sat by the fire to warm up.

"Well today was fun wasn't it?'"

"Yeah."

"You sure you are feeling okay Nicolo?&

"Yes I am why shouldn't I be?"

"It's just so unlike you to come out when it snows. It's usually me and my friends."

"Speaking of your firends where are they? They are usually here first sight of the snow."

"They are on vacation in France, skiing."
