NICKOLAS HARPER
Son of Christian Harper and Stella Alonso
He was always a calm person and used his logic and brain more than his heart.
Since the starting, he hated the t...
The familiar chatter of family and friends filled the air, but amidst it all, I found myself struggling to keep my gaze away from Nick. After all these years, he remained unchanged, a constant presence in my thoughts and memories. Admitting to myself that I missed him would be an understatement—I longed for his presence more than I cared to admit. What was wrong with me, holding onto feelings that time should have long since buried?
Shaking off those thoughts, I allowed myself to look around. "Auri," I murmured softly, beckoning Aurora to join me. She slid into the space beside me, her presence a comforting reminder of the bonds we shared. "Sof, you have no idea how much we missed you," she whispered, her words tinged with a hint of longing. Guilt gnawed at me for staying away for so long, but now that I was back, surrounded by the familiar comforts of home, I felt a sense of peace wash over me.
But just as I began to settle into this, a familiar voice broke through the haze. "Nicko, god finally," I exclaimed, relief flooding my senses as I rushed to embrace my brother. "God, rabbit, I missed you," he chuckled, pulling me close in a tight hug. Our shared laughter filled the room, momentarily pushing aside the weight of the years apart.
As we settled onto the sofa, a wave of questions flooded my mind. "Nicko, you came alone?" I inquired, my gaze searching his for answers only served to deepen the knot of anxiety in my stomach. "Yes I came alone, well to be exact mom dad don't even know I am here yet... I just straight away came to meet you first then I thought we could go together to meet Mom and Dad".,
Mom and Dad had no idea I was here—how would I face them after all this time? But I couldn't dwell on my fears; I am here to meet them , forget the past and enjoy time with them.
"Sof, god dammit," Josie's voice pierced through my thoughts, snapping me back to reality. I offered a sheepish smile. "Nothing, sorry, I'm just tired," I murmured, it was just an excuse to escape the prying eyes of my friends. With a quick retreat to my room, I hoped to find a moment of respite from the tumult of emotions swirling within me.
But as I stole a glance back at Nick, his gaze already locked onto mine, I knew that peace would not come so easily. With a heavy heart, I turned away, retreating into the confines of my room, desperate to escape the memories that threatened to consume me.

Something feels off. This isn't the Sofia I used to know. There's a change in her. It's like she's carrying a weight, a burden that's invisible to everyone but me. I could sense her unease as Josie called her name repeatedly, her smile strained as she tried to hide whatever was in her head.
