Nicks Lying

in the living room because they had taken a break from cleaning the house. Matt had pinned Nick's hands behind his back and just at that moment Chris decided it was a good idea to doggy pile Matt and Nick. 

He landed hard on his two brothers and Nick heard a pop in his shoulder and felt a sharp pain shoot through his arm. He grunted in pain but he honestly was a little embarrassed to be the one getting hurt and he didnt wanna ruin the fun they were having. 

Matt and Chris started laughing and they both got up but Nick stayed on the floor. “You okay Nick?” Matt asked and reached out a hand to help Nick up. Not wanting his brothers to know that he was hurt, he grabbed Matt's hand and then playfully slammed him onto the couch. 

His shoulder hurt like hell but it was probably nothing. Trying to avoid further injury, “Hey, we should probably clean the rest of the house before it gets too late.” Nick said, trying to deflect from the wrestling. 

“Ugh, fine. Start the music. We just have this room and the kitchen left anyway.” Chris said, not happy that he had to clean. 

Around an hour later they were done cleaning but the last step was having to take the trash to the dumpsters. Not really thinking about it, Nick picked up the heaviest bag and subsequently yelled in pain. Matt and Chris whipped their heads around to look at Nick. 

“You good?” Chris asked, worried. “Yeah, I just stubbed my toe.” Nick lied and reached down to rubbed his toe as if it hurt. But when his brothers looked away he grabbed his shoulder and swore under his breath. He picked up the bag with his left hand this time and walked out the door. 

The only reason he was lying to his brothers was because he was embarrassed that he got hurt in the way he did. Once he got to the dumpster he had to put the bag down, open the lid and then put the bag in because he couldn't use his other arm. 

He walked back inside, happy that they were finally done cleaning so they could all go to bed. Nick walked upstairs and went into his bathroom. He took off his shirt very carefully and looked at it in the mirror. To his surprise, it looked completely normal. Nothing out of the ordinary. 

He turned around and started the shower and turned hotter than he would normally shower because he was hoping that the hot warm will help with the pain and relax his muscles. He didn't know what the hell he did to his shoulder but he was hoping it would go away on its own.

After the shower he got dressed and went to bed. The next morning his shoulder felt like it was on fire. He rolled out of bed and went to the bathroom to take some advil so he could just go back to sleep. Much to his disappointment, he didn't have any in his bathroom so he had to go downstairs but he knew now that he wasn't gonna go back to sleep. 

He looked at the clock on the oven when he got downstairs and it read 8:34 am, “I haven't been up this early in years.” Nick said out loud to himself. He took the advil and went over to the couch to watch tv and wait for his brothers to wake up. 

An hour later and copious amounts of youtube videos later, Matt and Chris walked into the kitchen to eat breakfast. Nick realized he hadn't eaten yet and went to go get breakfast. “Why are you up so early?” Matt asked him. “I don’t know, couldnt sle- ahh fuck”  Nick sentence was interupted when he tried to get up but put to much pressure on his arm. 

“Okay, seriously, what is wrong with you?” Matt asked, wondering why Nick would lie about being hurt, in any way. Nick stood and walked over to the kitchen. “Nothing, nothing. My shoulder is just sore, that's all.” Nick was exactly lying but he also was. His shoulder hurt way more than just a sore muscle. 

Matt and Chris both were absolutely not believing him. But, Nick is a grown man and there isn't really anything that they can do. They both agreed that if his shoulder was still hurting in a couple days that they would look more into it. That whole entire day Nick was grimacing with every movement and sometimes shouting out of pain with more exaggerated movements.
