NICO
"Nico, a family wants to meet you."
I looked up from the book I was reading and nodded, putting a bookmark in and closing it before making my way down the stairs.
There was a family of two, a mother and daughter, standing there, looking around. The girl looked around 13, her deep brown hair spilling over her shoulders. Her mother stood next to her, her hair a dark black the pooled and frizzed, yet seemed tame. I took a deep breath.
"Hi, I'm Nico."
~~~
"Will?" I whispered into the phone.
"Yeah?"
"Have you ever met Hazel Levesque?"
"I... don't think so. Why?"
"I'm- I got adopted today."
"Shit, Neeks, that's great."
"I have to go to this fancy school, and I don't know if they live anywhere near here, and-"
"Calm down, Nico. I don't think they'd come from too far to adopt you. When are you going?"
"I'm going to be moving in with them next week."
"That give us an entire week to make sure you're prepared."
~~~
Hazel smiled up at me.
"So..." I began quietly, "what do you like to do?"
"I like to read and hang out with my friends." She said.
"What books do you read?"
"I like fantasy, mostly."
"Me too."
~~~
"Will?"
"What's up?"
"Can I come over?"
"Of course. Is something wrong?"
"No, I just want to see you."
"Alright. I'll be waiting."
"Bye."
"Bye."
~~~
I really don't know how I lived without Will before.
When he hugs me it feels like the lies I tell myself are true. Everything is going to be okay.
And now, I think I'm going to have to live without him again.
The Levesque's live about three hours away and I don't have a car. I won't get to see Will very often.
I've been trying hard not to think about it. I don't want to tell him why I'm freaking out, because he'll think I'm overreacting, but I'm scared.
I keep my eyes closed, my arms wrapped tight around him.
I don't want to leave, I don't want to be adopted. I want to stay here and live with Will and Vic and Val.
"Neeks, are you okay?"
Shit.
I'm shaking now, and I try to nod.
"You're not, tell me what's wrong."
"I can't stop thinking- Will, we'll be three hours apart and I don't have a car and Vic and Val are here and I won't have anyone at school and-"
"It's going to be okay." He said, pressing a light kiss to my forehead. I just wanted to stay with him forever. I shook my head.
"Will, no it won't, because I can't be here with you and I need- I can't be alone again." I whispered, my head falling next to his on his pillow. He pulled me closer and shook his head.
"I'll still be here, Neeks. I can visit you, and Val and Vic can come, and we can have sleepovers and it'll be just like this. I know it'll be okay."
"But I won't have someone to eat lunch with or look forward to seeing everyday."
"You're getting along with Hazel, right? You can hang out with her on days we can't see you." I sighed.
"I'm going to miss you."
"I love you, Neeks."
"I love you too."

Someone make a tally of how many times I end a chapter with them saying I love you to each other. I seriously have a problem.
Note I was going to make last chapter: I can only spell prosthesis because of the Lunar Chronicles.
