Am I Crazy?~Pernico~ A FanFiction Novel

Chapter 2

Nico's POV

4 years later....

I woke up breathing heavy. Beads of sweat rolling down my back and forehead. It's been 4 years since Bianca died and I'm still reliving those last couple days with her and then Mama coming home without her. It still affects my emotions the same as it did that day and weeks now years later. Since then Papa hasn't been home as much. When he is he makes certain that he spends the whole day with me and Mama. Mama now has a lot going on. She needs to look after me like a mother, take care of Papa as his wife. Bianca used to help and act in a motherly way towards me while Mama looked after Papa.  I couldn't imagine how much she has to do. Being a mother must be hard. 

I sat up letting the blankets fall off me but instantly regretting that idea and letting out a little scream due to the temperature change.  Apparently my scream was a little too loud and Mama heard. 

"Nico? Cosa c'è di sbagliato? (Whats wrong?)" She asked opening my bedroom door.

I shook my head "Troppo freddo per la mattina, Mama.(just too cold for mornings, Mama.)" 

She nodded and closed the door leaving me in silence. Hearing her feet quickly move away and down the stairs. Most likely preparing for Papa's arrival. He always try's to come early in the morning to spend as long as he can here before heading back over to America for work. He told us he has great news to share this time and Mama wanted to cook something special  for his return and to celebrate for what ever news he was telling us. But I'm the only person that doesn't know what this 'great news'  is. 

I grabbed a black skull tee shirt and my black jeans with my black converse and just to make the look better I added a few rainbow bracelets and a rainbow choker just because. Then Grabbed my books and headed downstairs to start school with Mama. 

I became home schooled not long ago. At the start of grade 8 at the earliest. Mama has been scared of cars or any moving vehicle like thing since Bianca. She didn't want to drive cars anymore. It 's crazy how fast you can get a fear. Ever since I have been home schooled and we would always walk to the store together to buy food. Luckily there was a store only a few blocks away. 

Half way down the stairs the door bell rang and the door opened. I  ran down the rest of the stairs and jumped on my father. He picked me up and spun me around. I know I'm in grade 8 now and I am fourteen but..... Stop judging me, okay?

He laughed and set me down on the ground. Ruffling my hair then went to the kitchen to greet Mama. I slowly tiptoed over to the side of the door so I don't disturb them. Papa walks up behind Mama and hugs her. They laugh and kiss. I turn away even though I don't care. It's just respecting their privacy. 

After they are done Papa starts talking and my mother gets a worried look on her face.  She responds but then looks over my fathers shoulder and saw me. I ducked behind the wall, knowing I was just a few seconds late then made bee line to the couch. Jumping up and sitting down, pretending that I was there the whole time. 

They walk out after a minute and Mama still looks worried. My father sits beside me with mother on his other side. He sets a hand on my shoulder and tells me what they already knew. 

He didn't look like what ever he was about to tell me was 'great news'. 

"Son, ho trovato un nuovo lavoro. (Son, I have found a new job)" 

This didn't seem that bad.  I wasn't sure why he and Mama were so worried about telling me.

"E 'in America (It's in America)." He finished.

Now I know why it's bad. America!? Why. Do they even speak our language over there. Don't be stupid Nico. They don't speak Italian in America. They speak English. Obviously. 

Then it hit me. I won't have any clue what they are saying. I won't have any friends there. I have to go to an all English school. How in the world am I supposed to graduate if I can't understand them. I'm doomed.
