Twenty-They Can Be Real Jokesters

“Nora and Nell, you two will…” I gulped. This is seriously a life or death situation. Nicolas looks at me with sad eyes. “Rules are rules.”

And that’s when my life collapsed on me. Nell, the brothers, Burney, everything. All the memories past through my eyes when I saw Nell burst into tears. I shake my head slowly. “Please let Nell live.” I barely whisper.

Impression and shock register both they’re faces. “Not you?”

I shake my head again. “Let her live. I dragged her into this. You can probably erase her mind, not mine. Please. Let her live.” My whisper breaks at the end.

I glance at the brothers who seem more heartbroken than ever. “Don’t kill her!” Bart yells, running over to me and attacking me in a hug. “She’s my sister! You cant kill family.” I do a small smile and cling on to him too, like my life depended on it. Literally.

Charles looks like he’s about to cry. “Don’t.” Was all he could choke out and attack me into a hug after I pried Bart off me. His hands get tangled in my hair but I don’t care. All I wanted to do was stay safe in his arms. I took a deep breath in and smelt his aftershave and minty smell. Charles puts me behind him and swings his arms out in front of me. “I wont let you kill her.”

Bart puts his hands on my shoulders. “Me either.”

Clinton grabs onto Nell’s hand and swings her near me and I attack her into a hug. “I’m so sorry for this.” I whisper.

“Nora. This is not your falt. If anyone’s, it’s mine. I left you for the drunken idiot.” She mumbles.

I smile. “I’m gonna miss you.”

She smiles at me. “Shouldn’t I be saying that since you’re the one who’s gonna get killed?”

I let out a humorless chuckle. “Yeah.” I whisper, still in a hug.

“Mom, you cant kill Nora or her sister.” Henry growls lowly, stepping near his three brothers. Edward nods in agreement, since he probably cant talk.

“I love you.” I tell Nell. “And whatever happens, tell Burney to keep his lips sealed.”

She chuckles a little bit. “I promise. I love you too.” A small tear comes from her eye and she wraps me in a hug again.

Vivian frowns at her husband. “Cant we tell them already? The poor girls are crying like there’s no tomorrow.”

I scowl at her. “There isn’t a tomorrow for me!”

Clinton’s eyes widen. “Fuck mom! You scared the shit outta me!” He curses loudly, kicking the ground.

My eyebrows knit together. “What are you talking about Clinton?”

He glares at his parents. “Your not dieing. Neither of you are.”

My heart explodes from happiness once the words come out of his mouth. I grin widely and turn to Nell who has the same face. “I’m not gonna die!”

She giggles and wraps me in a hug while I do the same. “Now you can tell Burney to keep his lips sealed yourself.” She smiles making me giggle.

　

I pull out of the hug and glare at the two parents before me. “What the hell is your problem?”

Nicolas smiles sheepishly. “I just wanted to see your reactions. I would never kill you two. You’re an amazing person, Nora.”
