*Nikias' Prov*
"Dad when are we going back to mystic falls?" I ask while bouncing my soccer ball on my knee alternating as I pick up my pace and slow down again awaiting Damon's reply to my question
"Next Wednesday" he says from under my truck, but it's muffled
"Huh?" I stop bouncing my ball and hold it still, waiting for a clear answer
"Next week" Damon grunts sliding from under it, and wiping oil off on a stained cloth near his tool box,"Wednesday" he sighs
I kinda pout at this news, "why next week?" I whine,"why not this week?"
"Cause I have a job to do and I don't have time to really go all the way back until it's done" Damon is stern with me and I don't like it but I have to be ok with it at least so I am, I sigh with a feeling of defeat,"I just miss everyone, especially Kiera and Uncle Stef" I put the soccer ball down on the ground and sit on it keeping my balance,"I understand you miss your friends but I've got a duty as a father and protect-"
"But I do understand that! It's not like I'm disrespecting your decision or anything, Im just asking for permission to go early, I have my own truck and I can go my self, I just need to know you approve before I take that extra step, I'm 17 not 10" I make my point and all of a sudden my twin brother sneaks up behind me and kicks the ball from under me,"SCORE" he yells as the ball comes out from under me and goes in between two trash cans made to be goals. I fall on the ground barely catching myself.
Dammit Jace your always messing with me! I think to myself, I get up and growl, he smirks and gets in his fighting position,"come at me bro!" Jace smiles and pounces on me,"I thought you said come at you!" I gasp as he knocks the wind out of me, it takes moments to get him in a headlock,"c'mon Nik I'm just playing around, stop being a dick." Jace says
"I bet i can get free from you easily"
"I don't think so cause i could break you right now"
I laugh as Jace attempts to break the Hold but I get him in a place where I could easily break his collar bone and arm,"wanna test me?" I hiss, our dad clears his throat, I know it's time to stop so I let him go but push him away, and he comes back at me,"knock it off! Both of you!" Damon scolds us, we whimper, "I'm tired of telling you two to behave yourselves your 17 now and aren't little kids anymore, just as Nik was explaining earlier, you aren't nine -"
"Ten" I correct him
"What ever, my point is that you two need to grow up and accept what is cause later it might not be there" He finally finishes
We are silent for a moment cause I remember my older brother,Jaches, I feel guilty all of a sudden,"sorry" I say and walk towards the house

I was only 7 at the time when I lost My eldest brother Jaches, he was 16 at the time, we were sitting in the living room watching our favorite series, The walking Dead, from the very first season but skipping certain parts cause they weren't clean, I was beginning to fall asleep cause it was late, and our parents were out with Jayce, I barely have my eyes open when I'm picked up from the couch, Jaches carries me upstairs after shutting off the T.V. and tucks me in, he goes to leave but I stop him,"Jaches? scared kid kicks in and I need him to stay with me. At least until I fall asleep.
