Eternal Frozen Love

Chapter 8

I walk towards Nicky and sit beside him.

"Nicky, I want to ask you something." I say to him and he looks at me.

"What is it sister?" he says . "Hm, you see, we still don't have a place to stay and we can't continue to stay on streets, I can't see u get sick again, Nicky." I say softly to him whiles caressing his silky hair.

"Hm, then sister what are we gonna do?" he says worriedly. I look up to see Natheniel looking at both of us and he raises a brow at me with his arms crossed on his chest. I roll my eyes at him and he chuckles.

"Nicky, do u think it will be a good idea if we stay over at the annoyi..... I mean brother Nath's place?" I look at him anticipating his reply.

"Sister, u mean big brother?" he says looking at Natheniel.

"Mm, yeah."

"Well, if that's ok with brother?" he says looking at him.

"Of course, little champ, anything for u." he says as he moves towards Nicky and he raffles his hair gently. I yank his hand from Nicky's hair.

"Hmm, only I am allowed to touch my baby brother." I say hugging Nicky possessively as if he's my treasure that I wouldn't share with anyone.
I hear Natheniel chuckle and he says,
" Jealous?.Tsk, you're really stupid than I thought.Your brother seems nice and smart but you, who knows where you came from.So stupid. Besides he's not yours to claim, ok?"
" You, don't you have a sense of bit respect in you. How can you mock and insult me as u please?" I was feeling a bit angry. Even if he was willing to let us stay at his place it doesn't mean he has to disrespect me or look down at me.
He just scoffs at me and looks at Nicky who was looking at us.
" Sister,u should stop this.How can u talk anyhow with big brother. He's willing to help us but you're being mean to him." he says to me in a voice that looks like an adult.
" Me..how am I being mean? Isn't he the one who keeps insulting me."
"Sister stop accusing him already. Be more nice"
What had gotten into Nicky. Why was he siding with him so much.He was clearly the monster but Nicky kept on speaking for him and it really hurt me. This was the first time he had spoken up for a stranger so much, I guess he really liked the monster so much.
I felt like being reprimanded by an adult that I almost shed tears. I was really soft and cried easily that I hated it so much.Even if I tried to stop them, they'd force their way out.
"Nicky, why are you being so nice to him. He's a baddie and I'm your sister, how can you side with a stranger so much to defend him."
" Sister, why are you crying?" he says and my tears fall down. He uses his hands to wipe them so gently.
" Sister, don't cry anymore. I won't side with him anymore, ok?" He says in his cutely voice and I laugh slightly.
" I-is nothing. If u want to side with him I can't say anything about it." I say realizing I was just being too selfish and possessive with him. I hug him and kiss him on his forehead.
" Nicky, I love you so much."
He smiles at me, " Sister, I know. I also love you."

* Natheniel' s POV*
This girl was just annoying. Does she think acting intimate with his brother would have any effect on me, tsk. What a joke.
I blurt out some harsh words which I regretted but there was no taking it back. Then she talks back at me seeming a little angry.
Her brother lectures her as if he's an adult lecturing a kid who did something wrong.
Then all of a sudden, I see tears in her eyes and they fall down.
I really felt bad seeing this but why was she crying over such a small matter. "So weak." I say in my head and then my heart surprisingly aches when I see her crying. What was wrong with me? Why was I feeling bad for this girl? Why did her tears have so much impact on me?
But I knew I had to apologize to her before she starts to think I was trying to steal her brother from her. I listen to the siblings and look at them as they continued to hug each other.
I hear her say " I love you" to her brother and kisses his forehead. These two were actually cute together.
Then I see her brother slowly drift off to sleep and she lays him down on the bed. She looks at me for a second with hostile eyes and walks to the balcony.
