• DOMINIC'S POV •

I have a headache from crying so much and my body feel like led when I want to do anything. But somehow I'm walking through an air port with just one of my mates and no one else. I didn't want to let Colton stay, I didn't want to make Ryan stay either but I trust Colton's judgement. And I know he won't break a promise, he'll be with Nic and I in a week or two. I just have to keep my spirits up without him.

Nic looks a little depressed too because of our missing partner. But he keeps a smile on his face and holds my hand everywhere we go until we finally make it back to the states. We pay the fee to have had our car at the airport for so long before we hit the road. Nic drives, saying he wanted me to relax and get some sleep so I set up a gps to my parents house then fell asleep.

He woke me up as soon as he was pulling into the drive way. It was dark but the lights were on inside the house. We decided to leave our luggage in the car till tomorrow and walked to the front door. I knocked and waited a minute until my dad answered the door. As soon as he saw me there was a mixture of emotions, obviously happy to see me but understand the circumstances he was sad. I gave him a hug and he greeted Nic before letting us in. "Where's Colton?" He asks.

"He had family issues of his own he had to deal with first, he said he'd come as soon as he was finished with them." I tell him and he nods. We go into the living room and jack and Mira peek from the hallway to see who's here. Once they see me they run out and attack me in a hug. I smile seeing them and hug them back. "Hey guys, I didn't get to see you before I left. How've you been?" I ask them and they grin and tell me they've been good.

"Who's that?" Mira asks looking at Nic who stood next to me.

"This is Nic, he's my boyfriend." I tell her, picking her up in my arms as if she was still a toddler and making her sit with me on the couch.

Jack sits down next to me while Nic sits on my other side, "since when were you gay?" Jack asks in a smartallic tone.

"Since when were you a smartass." I counter and he sticks his tongue out at me.

Dad chuckles at us while he sits in his arm chair. I glance around the living room, I really shouldn't be too surprised. It's not like it's been years since I was last here so it not changing it understandable. "I'm sorry if coming here was a commotion for you two." My dad says but I shake my head. "Where were you anyway?"

"Germany, Colton's family lives there." I tell him.

He grins, "well that's fun. Can you mark it off your list?" He asks and I chuckle before shaking my head, telling him I need to go back again.

"Well..." My dad begins again and I nod. "Can you two go play or something while the three of us talk?" My dad asks my siblings and Nic cuts in.

"Here I can go hang out with them. You two just talk." He says and I look over at him. "Don't worry I'll be able to hear you guys no matter how far in the house I go." He whispers to me and I nod. Mira jumps off my lap and grabs his hand before dragging him out of his seat. I laugh lightly and watch as the three of them retreat down the hall.

With a sigh I look back at my dad, "so... I guess I should start off with how did it happen."

He nods, looking grim, "well, two days ago your mother suffered a severe heart attack and was sent into emergency care and later placed in critical condition. We aren't too sure what caused it but some of the doctors said extreme stress and unhealthy habits could have caused it." He informs and and I nod. My stomach feels upset but I force myself to stop from anything else happening. "It was sudden, it hit jack and Mira hard. Although the I don't know how much Mira understands I think she knows enough that she knows mom won't be coming back."
