The Dark Angel [Shadowhunters] (On Break)

Stepford Wives

With the chatter and the dishes that clatter as the ladies continued their laughter. Nick sat in his room playing CS:GO on his computer like usual. Unlike other people he stayed at home during breaks and eating everything in his house.

He huffed as the game ended in a tie. Once setting down his headset he got up and groaned at his back...well, wings, started hurting. He knew he shouldn't have laid on them for so long but it was too late for that. He shut off his computer and debated about going out. He didn't listen to his mom's order, requesting him to hide his wings but if he did go out he had to go through tucking them and hiding them. He was wearing a shirt though as he thought,

I'm not going to let my skinny ass walk around with no shirt

He thought. He wore a comfy white/gray long sleeve shirt but his wings were poking out so far it looked like a creature from the night. He slumped onto his bed throwing his phone hearing it softly hit his bed. He laid there as he sat and thought about school and the hell he had to go back to. The homework, the drama, the drugs and stuff that goes on there never seemed to stop. He heard a chirp from his phone, knowing it was a text message. He guessed it would have been from Maureen but to his surprise it was a blocked call.

I didn't know you could text people from a blocked call

Nick thought. The text stated,

If you want to know about your wings come meet me at 102 Cherry Vine. You bring anyone you'll never hear me again. -RJ

Nick almost dropped the phone once he read that someone knew about his wings. He jolted to a sitting position as a wave of panic crashed into him like how waves crash into the beach. Nobody knew about his wings no matter who you were, his best friend, other family members (even though he's never met them), nobody has seen them and he's never mentioned it to other people.

His heart started racing as he sat there, mind racing around the track only taking left turns as he thought about what to do,

"I have to go I have to find out the answer,"

"No you can't go it's not safe if someone from the government or something that I don't want to know finds out,"

"But this could be your only opportunity to figure it out,"

"But this isn't safe,"

"You have to think about it,"

"You have to go now, now, NOW!"

His mind was racing and he couldn't get out of these situations that he was creating in his minds, all the ways it could go wrong and every outcome was him getting kidnapped or killed or someone experimenting on him.

After pacing his room for some time and debating whether the facts of his wings were more important than his life. He knew he had to find answers.

Glancing at the time he knew he still could go out, he put on the usual tight black shirt while tucking in his wings while putting on jeans and a black hoodie. Slipping on high top black Converse he knew he was ready to go. He kind of imagined himself in a movie, getting ready for the big mission before the shocking conclusion.

Shoving his phone in his pocket along with his earbuds he stepped out of his bedroom.

"AHHHHHHH LOOK AT HIM,"

"HE'S SO CUTE,"

"HONEY YOU DIDN'T TELL ME HE WAS THAT FINE,"

Screamed the ladies from his mother's little get together. He sighed knowing he didn't have time for this as he walked over to say hi to all the ladies.
