Nikolai's POV
We sat in the drive way of my home as I contemplated going inside.
"Thanks for borrowing your mom's car for this."
"It's no problem really.." Wendy assured. But Nik, we've been sitting out here for over 10 minutes. You've got to get this over with."
"You're right.."
"Want me to come with you?"
"No, I'll be fine."
As I walked to the door, I clutched the keys in my hand tightly. They had no idea I was home from university. I let out a deep breath before unlocking the door and walking in.
"Who is that?" My mother said before making her way down the stairs.
"Mama, it's me."
"My beautiful baby, how're you?"
"I'm good mama.."
She glanced at me with a puzzled look, she could always tell when something wasn't right. Just as she started to ask, my father came out of his office.
"Nik we weren't expecting you this weekend. Something going on?" He asked as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
It was now or never. I was a nervous wreck but I couldn't stand waiting any longer. I had to get this off of my chest.
"We need to talk. All of us.."

"What's this about?" Dad asked I handed him my acceptance letter.
"Read it, please.."
His eyes lit up as he started to grin wide.
"I knew you could do it!!!" He exclaimed loudly. "I'm so proud, after all of our hard work, this is what we wanted!"
This is what we wanted?
At that very moment I became angry. I felt like everything that had been building up was officially coming out.
"Hmph..What we wanted.. we.. right dad?"
His smile faded as he began to look at me with a confused expression.
"I have never wanted any of this."
"My girl please, sit down, don't get upset."
"No! Mama let me talk! For as long as I can remember you have been enforcing your rules and expectations upon me. You never once gave a damn about anything I've ever wanted. Every dreamed I've dared to have, you crushed it with your ignorance by being a jackass because it wasn't good enough for you!"
"You watch your damn mouth or else."
"Or else what? From this moment on, I'm going to do what the hell I want to do when I get ready. And speaking of doing what I want, I won't be going to nursing school and I won't be returning to university after the semester is done."
"You've just about lost your fucking mind!!"
"Melvin please!" She pushed him back, standing in between us.
