💎Hazel' s p.o.v 💎

I sat at the counter eating cereal when Nico came down stairs and sat down next to me.
"Morning."I said to him.
"Morning."he responded, he was dressed in black skinny jeans and a skull t-shirt. He looked pretty tired, his eyes had bags under them and he was slumped against the counter with his head down. I tore my attention away from Nico as our father walked into the kitchen. He took a seat on the other side of the counter and handed Nico a bowl of cereal with an apologetic look on his face though I didn't know why. Nico didn't even look up.
There was tension in the room, for some reason they had been acting distant when around me as if they had been fighting. Our father sighed when Nico didn't touch the cereal.

"Look um something has happened with the school and I'm going to have to send you both off to a boarding school in New York city."he said nervously, my jaw dropped. Why were we being sent there, I looked over at Nico and he looked as if he was expecting this.

"Why, what for?"I asked our father. He looked nervously at me,
"Um the school said that neither of you are progressing in the school and that I'll have to send you both to a different school. I looked into it and saw that there is only one school that was still accepting students, it's a boarding school in New York city."he said. I was shocked, I didn't know what to say,
"Do you not want us around?"I asked, our father put a hand on mine
"Of course I want you around. But I just have to send you both there for your own good."He told me. I nodded.

"You both will leave tomorrow morning, go start packing."I didn't know what else to do so I listened.
I was about to walk into my room when I had noticed Nico had stayed back, I crept to the edge of the hall way and peaked around the corner to see why he hasn't come yet.
Nico just sat there not touching his cereal.
Our father looked guilty,
"Nico I'm sorry. Just know that I'm not sending you away because I hate you, because I don't.
I have to send you away, their making me, it's not my choice."our father told him. Confusion filled my head, why was he apologizing?
Why would he think that Nico hates him? I watched as Nico did nothing but stare at the tile floor.

"Nico, I'm really sorry, I don't want you to hate me."our father said again. I expected Nico to deny that but he just stayed silent. Our father sighed and stood.
"I should get to work."he said then grabbed his bag and left out the door.

Nico ran his hands through his hair and sighed. Maybe I was seeing things but I'm pretty sure I saw a tear roll down his cheek.
I took a step back and went into my room. Did I miss something? Why was Nico not speaking to him? I thought on it more while I was packing my suitcase. When I was finished I looked outside to see that it was already dark. I slipped into bed and tired my brain out with all the thinking and slipped into a dreamless sleep.
