Grimm girl

Chapter 18

Nick's arms were warm and comforting as always. I'm sorry about Eric. He muttered softly and I just buried my face against his shoulder. Anyway, I bought your books for the next year and all the other stuff. I smiled softly. "I could have done that myself as well." I didn't think you would be in the mood for that. We walked to his car. Besides, Emma is already waiting for you in your room with ice cream and Netflix as she called it. I smiled lightly, remember the last time we did that. "Sounds nice." We drove back to our home, Juliette wasn't there though. "How is she?" I asked. She is fine, relieved you come home. I nodded. "Me too." I walked to my room and immediately Emma pulled me into a tight. "Em, you're choking me..." I said, gasping." I'm sorry Elena, I know how much you loved Eric. I hugged her back. "Thanks Em." She smiled and held up some Ben&Jerry's. Your favourite, salted caramel core. I grinned, she knew me too well. We covered ourselves in a blanket. Movie or serie? She asked. "Serie." I immediately said. Hmm... She thought about that for a second. Pretty little liars then? I made a face and she laughed, both of us weren't really those kind of girls. "Please don't." I said, chuckling a bit. I heard about one though. I believe it was 'Lucifer'. "I heard about that one too. Let's check it out." Before we could, Nick knocked and opened the door. I'll be back around dinner time, new case. I nodded. "Be careful." I said and he chuckled. I'll try. He closed the door. Does every case involve Wesen? Emma asked. "Most of them do. At least the cases Nick works on." We started the serie and I completely forgot the last week, although it was only for those hours.

My normal rhythm came back. School, hanging out with Emma, Aiden and Matthew. Cases with Nick of course. The latest one had been a weird one. One week ago a body was found in the sewer system. The victim had been ripped apart, and eventually our suspect had been identified as a blutbad. He was a big business man in Portland, part of the management of Nike. When we went to take him in, he attacked us and Nick had to shoot him out of defense. Monroe knew him though, and said the world was better off without him. At the moment Ethan and I were in town. We had seen IT in the cinema and now we're eating dinner, it was Saturday evening. "I already said that I am not the kind for horror movies, and I hate clowns." I said laughing while taking a bite of my spaghetti. Italian food had always been my favourite food, next to Chinese though. How can a grimm like yourself be afraid of clowns? Ethan said and he chuckled, I glared at him. "Come on, they are scary. White face, red nose, big shoes. I never understood why anyone would want to walk with shoes which are too big." He chuckled again. I'll protect you against those scary things. "Shut up." I said, but with a smile. "Are you ready for the party tomorrow?" I asked him and he made a face. Ethan's dad had made a perfect deal with Nike and he would celebrate it tomorrow. Once again a formal party, but this time with more people. Nick and Juliette were invited as well, Mrs. Norwood wanted to meet them. I also heard that Monroe and Rosalee would be there as well, as they knew the Norwoods out of the Wesen community. I hate those stuffy parties. He groaned. I shook my head amused. "Maybe after that we can go out in Portland ourselves. Some of your friends, Emma and I." He started to look happier. That isn't such a bad idea. We finished soon after and he walked me home. Hey... He suddenly said. It is Saturday night. We don't have school tomorrow. Would you like to sleep over? I looked at him, taken by surprise. He looked back hopefully and I smiled. "Why not? Though I have to get some stuff first and then you can explain it to Nick." I laughed when I saw his face. He will kill me... Ethan muttered. "Maybe..." We stepped into his car and drove towards my house. Juliette smiled when we came in. Hey you two. "Hey!" I looked around. "Where is Nick?" I think he'll come home in second. The captain called if he could come over for a while. I nodded slowly. "Is it okay if I sleep over at Ethan's?" She blinked, then smiled. Of course. But if Nick comes home, ask him as well okay? I nodded and walked upstairs to get some stuff. Need some help? Ethan asked and I shook my head. "No, I'll be back in a few minutes." In my room I grabbed a bag. "Let's see..." I muttered to myself. I grabbed some new clothes for tomorrow, some toiletries, make-up and my books, I promised Emma to go study with her tomorrow. I also carefully placed my dress for the party on top of it, we could get ready together. I walked downstairs, and immediately saw Nick was home. Ethan and he stood in front of each other, Ethan looked somewhat uncomfortable. Nick frowned when he saw me. You're serious about this aren't you? He asked and I rolled my eyes. "Don't tell me you seriously want to say no." I said sighing. I'm responsible for you Elena. He shot at me. "And I am turning 21 in two weeks, surely I am an adult right now." I said sarcastically. "I am sure you slept at Juliette's place, or she at yours when you were our age." Juliette coughed from the other side of the room, supressing a laugh and Nick glared at her. Just let them go Nick. He sighed. All right fine... I smiled and hugged him. "I'll see you tomorrow at the party." Ethan already walked out to start the car. Just be safe... Nick added and I turned back to him. "Are you serious?!" I grabbed a pillow and threw at towards him. He laughed and avoided it. I slammed the door shut, though I had to smile. I got in, Ethan drove away. "Well, it went better than expected." I said. Speak for yourself... Ethan groaned and I giggled.
