*Nick's POV*
Hey everybody! I am Nick Morgan. I was born in Memphis, Tennessee. I have 2 sisters named Julie and Daynah. I am the middle child of them. I lived in Memphis for the first 12 years of my life. My family moved a lot. We've lived in Atlanta, Jacksonville, Dallas, and Tulsa. My parents now have moved back to Memphis. Julie and I live in a house together in Raleigh, North Carolina with her two daughters, Peyton and Emerson. I call Emerson Emmy for short . I am basically the father figure of these kids because their father passed away shortly after Emerson, the younger daughter, was born. My other sister, Daynah, lives in Cary, which is about a half hour drive from where I live. Julie and I both deal with chronic illness. Julie has endometriosis and I have IBS and vasovagal syncope. These conditions affect our everyday lives. Julie is constantly in pain with her condition. I am also in pain and I have to worry about several other issues with my conditions. I constantly get dizziness and fainting spells a lot and whenever I drive and I feel one come on, I pull over. Or if I feel one coming on, I try to lay down before I really pass out. It is difficult. But my family helps me through these conditions. My best friend, LeAnne, is also another person I can really count on for everything. We are very very very close friends. A mutual friend of the siblings is Heather. Heather met Julie in high school and they went to the same college. They have been best friends ever since. My siblings and I are also very close with our cousin, Brenna. Brenna lives in Charlotte and we visit her as often as we can and we call her often when she is not working. She is a nurse. I am an artist. I do a lot of digital and design arts. I also do music from time to time. With my digital and design arts, I work from home most of the time and sometimes I am at a warehouse that's nearby for this job. Julie works for a company called WellCare as a Human Resources Manager. Daynah is a hairdresser at a salon while she is also in nursing school getting her masters degree to become a nurse practitioner.
"Baby girl," I said to Peyton as I gave her a hug and kiss "how was your day?"
Peyton had just come home from school.
"Good, Uncle Nick." Peyton said
"That's good, baby." I said
Emmy ran up to me and I sat both the girls on my lap. These little girls are my world! They're my everything! They keep me sane and they make me happy when I am down. Julie came home from work.
"Hey, sis!" I said
"Nick." Julie said
"How was work, booboo?" I asked
"Crazy," Julie said "my boss can be awful sometimes."
Julie started talking about all types of craziness at work that has been going on with her. I was shocked. I called up my best friend, LeAnne.
L: looove
N: Hey, boo
L: what's good?
N: You good tonight?
L: yea, baby
N: yeeeeaaaa! I can't wait to see you, baby!
L: I can't wait to see you either!
I am going out to a bar with her just to hang out, eat, and have a couple drinks. LeAnne is my ride or die! Later, I drove my BMW over to LeAnne's house. It usually takes a half an hour to get there. I arrived at the house.
"Hey, booboo!" I said in excitement
"Baby!" LeAnne said in excitement
LeAnne gets into my car and we drove to the bar. I order a White Russian and LeAnne ordered a Cosmo. We were chatting and chatting.
"Love," I said "please please tell me..what the hell is going on with so and so?"
LeAnne starts spilling a lot of the tea to me and we were drinking. That was such a great time we had. That's my girl!
