Nicole woke up to the sound of boys arguing.
she got up up, groaning and started scrathing every pary of her head indicating that she was very annoyed. All three looked at her then looked at each other. Elijah snicked then looked away remembering what happened last night
Nicole and Damon were cheering and screaming at the two boys that were wrestling on the floor. elijah's head was currently under Lewis' arm. Lewis was smirking but suddenly his body spun around because Elijah grabbed his shoulder and swapped their positions. Nicole was laughing so hard she didn't notice the boys staring at her. "wow, look at the size of that thing" Damon exclaimed, amazed at how the girl chuckled. "can you even see?" Elijah asked, he noticed her eyes were completely shut while she was laughing. "the more I laugh, the less I can see." They all stared in confusion. "alright it's time to sleep" silence was finally broken, they all got up in sync but the boys had something else in mind. "TICKLE FIGHT" They all said which made Nicole shriek and run around the empty house. Lewis just watched with a smile on his face.
"you look disgusting" Damon greeted her. "gee, thanks, so do you" She glared back.
Just then, the door snapped open, revealing a sweaty Christian. "come with me."
he was basically dragging the confused girl out of the house but Lewis butted in and held her right arm. "I'm coming with her" he said, looking at Christian. "why would I let you come?" Christian's tone was annoyed. "she owes me a lot. She cant leave until my head is ok" Lewis pointed at her which made her glance at the two men. Christian didn't say anything, he continued to walk and made his way towards Nicole's place.
While walking, Nicole couldn't help but glance at her right arm that was being held by Lewis. Bit her lip slightly, trying not to smile. She also remembered that she can't leave Lewis until he was fully healed. The sight of her house shocked her. The door was broken, there were red stains on the window and floor. She gathered up all her courage to enter the house.
Her mother was still on the bed but with knives on top of her and her neck had long cuts; cuts that ran along her shoulders up to her elbows. Nicole needed air, she couldn't breathe. The sight of her dead mother made her feel funny. She wanted to cry, destroy everything but she cant. Even her tears won't come out. She was so overwhelmed that she remained in her position. Not one muscle was moved until Christian stepped inside and comforted her. Lewis remained outside thinking why the woman died, he observed the stains around the house and realized they were already dry. He stepped inside, the smell of the body reeked but he was used to it. He took a looked over to Nicole and nodded.
To his surprise Nicole came running to him then suddenly grabbed his sleeve. "I'll take care of this" Christian waved goodbye to Nicole. Lewis was still lost in thought until Nicole tugged his sleeve harder. They went back to his place.
Nicole was silent for the whole day which made everyone in the house uncomfortable. Lewis ended up taking care of the poor girl instead of her taking care of him. He didn't know why but seeing her broken made him want to protect the grey haired female. Staring at her peacefully sleeping made him calm and suddenly remembered his mother. He observed how her chest rose up and down and how she sometimes smile. He suddenly slapped himself. 'you cant. She needs your care not your feelings' he reminded himself.

Christian was back at the old house at Sapphire. "April said you did a good job" the man said. Christian just nodded. "by the way, They're visiting tomorrow, better be prepared if I were you" he continued. "why tomorrow?!" Christian panicked, placed his palm on his forehead then hissed. "why the hell not pretty boy, your sister is very impatient do you know that?" The man sounded irritated, Christian made him lose his focus. "sorry, I'll be going now" he excused himself. The man smirked then placed a king of hearts on the table which made all the men groan.
