A/N MENTION OF DEATH/LOSS ALCOHOL AND PHYSICAL VIOLENCE
Nicks P.O.V
No matter how much I figure out about her there is always more to find out. I feel this is the beginning of a great friendship. I follow her inti the book store and offer her one of my favorite Edgar Allen Poe stories
"Dont need it, but thank you."
"Not a fan?"
"Not what I said Darling."
"Then explain sweetheart?" I whisper near her ear after all we are in a book store library rules apply here too, right?
"I already have his collection in hardback."
"A woman after my own heart." I tease causing her to smile for real the first time in weeks. I know her home life is shit Father resents her and is a drunk most days sometimes physical, her mom is in denial trying to reconnect still. After browsing the store a few times over, we leave, and start heading back her house. Her body langue screams anxiety yet shed never say a word. We turn the bend to her house I look over at her from the corner of my eye seeing her look terrified makes me just want to convince her to come back with me. Ive seen these looks so many times from Noah I just wish I knew what to say. To both our surprise, no yelling is going on.
"Want me to go in with you?" I ask genuinely worried for her safety her mom is a nice lady stupid enough to believe her ex-husband would ever change his ways for anyone. She looks up at me with her hazel eyes shining from the sun light behind me and smiles her best fake smile.
"I'll be fine Nikki you worry about everyone too much." She walks off and leaves me where I stood. Just as I turn to leave, a cop car pulls in, causing me to freeze and grab her attention.
"Ms. Freya OCleary Smith?"
"I haven't used smith since I was four, but what can I help you with?"
"Is your mom Eliza O Cleary Smith?"
"Yes, why?" I see worry in her eyes
"I regret to inform you that your mother was in a horrible car crash this morning." The tone of the cop isn't any comfort, just as he removes his hat.
"Is she okay?" I slowly start walking towards her when I see the worry turn straight to fear as she looks over at me.
"Miss, is there anyone you'd like me to call?" I knew instantly this wasn't going to be good.
"Out with it!" she says through gritted teeth
She was dead on arrival. The emts did everything they could. Im so sorry for your loss. I run over to her just as she starts to claps nodding to the cop who asks if he can leave the information. She starts crying as I hold her in my arms. All she keeps repeating is NO NO NO, NO, this isn't happening. My cell rings, and it is Noah, I answer really quickly, and he can hear Freya crying.
"What happened, Nick?"
"I'll tell you later right now, I have to go."
