Love sickness

Chapter Seventeen

I rolled over, the sweet smell of sugar flew up my nose, I got up and looked out the window it was snowing, I rubbed my eyes. I stood at my door way, I looked over to see Leila standing in the room next to mine.
" do you smell that? " I asked.
" yeah " we walked down the stairs.
" morning " Nick smiled.
" what's going on? " Leila asked.
" Nick made us pancakes, to thank us for letting him stay here " Blake smiled taking a bit of the pancakes.
I walked over to Trevor who was standing in the corner of the kitchen, " are you ok with this? " I asked.
" I don't have a say anymore, because he's here and i'm in his shadow " Trevor walked over and sat down in the chair.
I still didn't know what happened to make Trevor hate his brother, what happened between them? When Nick was talking last night they sounded like a happy family, but when Trevor talks about his family, it doesn't sound so happy.
I walked over to him and crouched down on the floor, " I don't understand, Nick sounds so happy when he talks about you and then your so mad at him " I whispered.
" he's manipulative, he made my whole family do something some of us wanted to do some of us didn't, which caused everyone- " he stopped talking.
" what, Trevor tell me " I whispered.
" everyone in my family slowly got taken away if they didn't want to, I didn't want that to happen to me, so I fell in love so I could leave, Nick is here for a different reason, he's not telling anyone the truth " he paused.
" don't trust anything he says " he grabbed my hands.
" please " he said.
" I won't " I said.
I saw the relief in his eyes.
I got up and walked into the kitchen to grab a glass of water and something else to eat because I didn't like pancakes that much, Samuel stood looking in the fridge, " everything ok? " I asked.
" do we have any apple juice? " he asked.
" no I don't think so " I said.
He looked up at me, " we need to get some or find some or even make some " he said.
" how about you go find Leila and ask her to help you make it " I suggested.
" good idea " he said walking away.
What were in those pancakes? I sighed and poured myself a glass of water and was about to walk out of the kitchen when I heard Nick and Trevor whispering.
" what are you doing here? " Trevor asked.
" you know why i'm here, you need to come back " Nick said.
" what your doing is wrong, i'm never going back " Trevor said.
" I know that you want this to happen, you will come back " Nick walked into the kitchen, I turned around and opened the cupboard.
" have you had any pancakes yet? " Nick asked.
" no I haven't, I don't really like pancakes " I said.
" how do you not like pancakes? " he asked.
" don't like the flavor " I said.
" I can make you something else " he said.
" no no no, it's fine i'll just have some toast " I smiled.
" ok " he smiled and walked down the hallway and into the living room.
Nick and Trevor must have been talking about why Trevor left, why did Nick need him to come back? What was so important that Nick need him? Why didn't Trevor want to help his brother?
" you ok? " Quinn asked, I looked up.
" sorry, I was just thinking to myself " I smiled.
" you looked kinda confused, is everything ok? " she walked over to me.
I looked around to make sure no one was around.
" you've know Trevor for a long time now, did he ever mention anything about his work with his family? " I asked.
" not that I can remember why? " she asked.
" just wondering trying to get to know him better, I just feel if I asked him he wouldn't tell me " I said.
" you never know, maybe he will tell you " she walked over and opened the fridge.
I was worried for Trevor.

I walked outside to get a breath of fresh air, I walked over and leaned up against the tree, I looked up at the sky and closed my eyes, I took a deep breath and opened my eyes again.
Snow flew in my face, I turned to see Samuel standing over by the house.
" you so dead! " I yelled, I picked up some snow and threw it at him.
" don't think i'm dead yet " he laughed, I chased after him.
" what's going on? " Winny asked walking out with Leila.
Samuel and I looked at each other picked up some snow and threw it at them.
" oh it on " Leila said.
They picked up snow and threw it at us, Leila put snow down Samuel jacket, he threw snow at the top of her head. We all ran around, I felt like a kid again, like nothing mattered. You could just have fun and not have a care in the world, you were free, I was free. I wish I could just go back and not know anything about what I could do.

After what felt like two hours we all fell in the snow laughing, we didn't care if our clothes were going to be wet from the snow, we were just glad we had fun. We got to have a breath of fresh air, a breath from the real world.
" what time is it? " Winny asked.
" who cares, that was so much fun " Samuel said as we all laughed.
We walked back inside.
" I think have snow in my clothes " Leila smiled.
" I think we all do " I smiled.
" what were you guys doing outside? " Quinn asked.
" having a snowball fight " Samuel said.
" it was crazy fun you should have joined " Winny smiled.
" you know i'm not a big fan of snow " Quinn smiled a she messed up Winny hair, I went up stairs and changed my clothes, I got into sweatpants and a hoodie.
I looked down at my necklace and grasped it, I wanted to feel what Trevor feels for me, but I know I can't. I let go of the necklace and went to the bathroom before I walked back down stairs.
I saw Winny and Leila around the fireplace.
" what are you guys doing? " I asked sitting down beside Trevor.
" were trying to start a fire were all cold " Winny said.
" that's probably because you all were playing in the snow " Trevor laughed.
" and there's a switch to turn on the fire " Nick pointed out.
" oh " Leila said flicking it on.
I looked out the window the sun was setting, I leaned my head on Trevor shoulder, everyone talked, but not that loud. It was quiet.
" so who won the snow battle? " Blake asked.
" we did " we all said.
" all of us won " Leila said.
" there has to be one win thought " Nick said.
" no there doesn't " Trevor said.
" yes in every good book, someone wins and someone always loses never in between " he said.
" in most book there's a compromise, or both, but this is the real world they both can win " Trevor said.
Everyone quieted down.
" tea anyone " Quinn stood up.
" yeah tea sounds good " Blake looked at all of us.
Trevor kissed my forehead, I grabbed his hand, my eyes started to drift off as small conversation filled the room.
